OUR HISTORY (flashback).
Cassandra's POV
It wasn't always like this between me and Derick.
I even had a big crush on him from the first day I saw him in 7th grade then he was two years my senior.
Derick was the school's bad boy, he is not only intelligent he is athletic and there is no sport he couldn't play.
I also admired him a lot, he was the school's Playboy because the way he uses both girls and boys and dump them cannot be compared to anything and yet they throw themselves at him I don't blame them I would throw myself at him If I could, he was that hot.
And I, on the other hand, I'm the description of plain if plain is a person that would be me, nothing was outstanding about me I didn't have a good fashion sense, I was skinny and short my skin is pale which is odd due to my African side, that means my dad's gene must be strong cause if I don't tell you I'm a half cast you wouldn't know and I wear big glasses and oversized clothes my full curly hair always falling over my face.
I looked like a nerd back in high school but I wasn't I don't like studying my school books, I love to read mangas, and romance novels, and watch anime than studying I was an average student with nothing outstanding at all.
I am always bullied in school because of my looks and my family issues but being bullied was a normal thing for me cause for as long as I can remember I was always bullied both at home and school being bullied is normal and because of that I didn't have any friend at all but that changed when I was in 10th grade.
One faithful day in 10th grade I was in my usual hiding spot a place I go to when I want to get away from everyone and during lunch break, my hideout is on the school's roof nobody ever goes there.
I am eating my lunch and watching a movie on my phone with my earpiece on I was laughing hard because of what I'm watching that I didn't notice someone was there with me, I nearly had a heart attack when I saw Derick standing in front of me with a cigarette in his mouth staring down at me.
"Oh my God I'm sorry," I said,
"Why are you sorry?"
"Cause I did~n't
Hear you com~ing a~nd for being he~re" I stammered
"Hmmm you can relax I'm just here for a smoke," he says sitting down close to me.
We sat there without saying anything to each other, he was smoking and I was trying to calm my beating heart my crush of many years is sitting close to me.
"Do what to drag" he asks stretching his smoke to me.
"Ye~ah" I collect the smoke from him, what the fuck I'm I doing I don't even smoke I thought as I put the smoke in my mouth and took a dip drag, and started coughing immediately.
Main while Derick is looking at me as if I have grown 10 extra heads I could see a lazy smile dancing on his handsome face.
he was amused by what I did, I don't think he expected me to take a drag of his smoke, cause I look like a typical good girl.
"Hope you good he asked", "yeah I'm good" I replied while trying to steady my breath because of all the coughing I did.
"Why did you, you know, " he says pointing at his smoke.
"I don't know, guess I wanted to try something new" replied quietly
"Interesting" he muttered, What's your name he asks. , "Cassandra" I answered shyly
"Cassandra" he muttered softly "your eyes are beautiful," he said staring into my eyes, earning a blush from me I couldn't stand people staring into my eyes, I looked away feeling super shy, I have complete heterochromia.
He is the first person that ever said my eyes were beautiful, every other person I knew bullied me because of them, my adoptive siblings call me a freak.
I hated my eyes but hearing Derick call them beautiful made me feel good for the first time.
"I will see you around right?" he asked I nodded my head in response, "Okay then," he says then leaves.
Wow, I had a fucking conversation with 'The' "Derick Salvador" what The hell I mentally screamed.
That was my first encounter with Derick
Pretty good right? yeah, that's what I thought.
