Walking shoulder to shoulder through the crowded hallways of parkway High school can be kind of nauseating. With the smells of marijuana, and the occasional couples exchanging saliva in the middle of the hallway, but for one lovesick sophomore, this was all a plus. Cassie McConnell would imagine herself in the popular girl's shoes. She could taste the spit in her mouth, the feeling of being out of breath and not having a care in the world. Then the reality of her life slapped her in the head and brought her back to what things really were. Actually, the thing that hit her was a book that someone threw into the air.

"Yeah! I hit someone!" Cassie turned to look at the boy who threw it. It was the jock of the school, Tom Robins. The bright eyed, brown haired babe that Cassie would always imagine herself kissing. The cute, small lips she would have in her grasp.

She spotted her best friend Haley walking toward her, holding her books.
"Well, look who's being a total ass like always." Said Haley while they both looked at tom high-fiving his friends.
"Yeah, but just think about a way, he touched my head!" said Cassie giddy.
"He touched or more like hit you in the head." Said Haley with a laugh.
