It was a few days after Kate had been suspended, Mac had been with Cassie for the most part, and on one of those days he met Maddie, They were on their way to the creamery when Cassie bumped into Maddie, "Heyy Cass, what's up?" Cassie asked.
Maddie hadn't been to school for the past few days, because she wasn't feeling too good, physically and emotionally, "Maddie where have you been, you haven't taken any of my calls or replied to any of my texts in a while, you got me worried" Cass said with a frown. Maddie explained why she hadn't been available for a while, but then she took notice of Mac, he was good-looking, well built and he had beautiful eyes, for a man.
"So Maddie, this is Mac, my knucklehead cousin, Mac this is Maddie, my friend from school." Introductions were done, they talked for a while and started to head home when Cassie's phone rang, she looked down at it and it was Brian.
"Heyy Brian", "Uhmm... Hey Cassie, uhmm I was wondering if ..." She sensed some hesitation in his voice and she was confused. What was making Brian so uneasy, he took and deep breath and said "I was wondering if you would like to go out with me tomorrow" He said as fast as he could, as though if he slowed down he wouldn't be able to say it anymore.
He was nervous, she could tell, but when he said the words she got excited, she hadn't been alone with him since their little movie date earlier that Month. She held the phone away from her mouth and squealed, then she took a deep breath and said "yeah sure, I would love to"
"Wow! Okay that's Great. I was thinking we could go hiking and camp out for the night somewhere. You aren't afraid of heights are you." She was but she was too excited to care "yeah yeah it's fine." "What are you so excited about Sherlock" Mac laughed, she totally forgot Mac was with her, he was going to tease her for this all day "oh leave me alone " She said and they walked home.
David could tell Dante had been scared by the time he woke up. He had passed out from the punch earlier but now Dante was by his side on the floor with his head in his hand, he knew he wouldn't intentionally hurt him, "broo.... I'm so sorry... I didn't mean to.... I didn't mean to knock you out. Hell, I didn't even mean to punch you. I'm sorry. Are you okay?" He asked the moment he saw that David had woken up.
"Shit bro... What the fuck, why did you punch me, what's going on with you mehn, you've been so distant and I don't understand why. You can talk to me Dante.... I'm your twin..."
Dante knew David was right but he wasn't yet ready to open up to him about his concerns because he had not fully come to terms with them. "I'm sorry" He said as he picked up his phone and walked out of the room. David wanted to talk to his parents about it but he didn't, he knew if something was troubling Dante and it was this serious they needed to sort it out together as Bros.
Kate, on the other hand, had left Brian close to 50+ text messages, she started out apologizing and when he didn't respond she drifted to blame and now she was back at apologizing. She didn't know the whole plan was going to blow up in her face so massively.
She still hadn't forgiven Cassie tho, she knew she would have to be smarter the next time. She had sorted things out with her mom and they were on good terms now, she thought by now everyone who knew should have moved in from the incident, little did she know that Ava had a recording of all that went down.
Mac volunteered to help Cassie's mom with dinner when they got home, so Cass went upstairs to try and find something to wear for her date the next day. She sorted through her clothes and didn't seem to find anything. She called Nattie and told her all about how Brian had asked her out. They FaceTimed and Nattie helped her pick an outfit. She was all set.
The next day at school, Brian was so excited! He had everything planned out in his mind, today was the day he was going to ask Cassie out, and that kinda freaked him out the more. After school, they met up and biked to the foot of the hill. He stared at Cassie, deep into her eyes and she began to feel uneasy "let's go" She said as she chuckled lightly.
They started to climb slowly while they talked. At some point the situation with Kate had come up, Brian didn't like this, he didn't want to talk about Kate, he didn't want that at all.
They walked for a while till Cassie saw a place nicely decorated that overlooked the horizon "I think someone was here earlier, awww it's so pretty" She said smiling, as she looked at the well-set tent and the cute mat placed in front of it. Brian turned around walked and stood behind her "that surprise is for you. I had it all prepared for a picnic"
Cassie's eyes lit up as she turned around and hugged him tightly, he knew she loved outdoor picnics and he made sure to include that "I'll go get some wood to make a fire so don't get cold okayyy" He said and walked off. Cassie was so excited "this has to be the best day of my life" She texted Natalia.
Brian felt like he was on top of the world, this was going so well, better than he actually thought. He had found some sticks and started to head back when he hear Cassie screaming. "Oh No!!! What's wrong!?"
