The Missing Key

CHAPTER 6

Cassy's P.O.V

I went into Wuthering Heights and realized that the pictures didn't do justice to it. This place was beautiful... And the ancient buildings just gave it a more unique feeling. I really wish he was here. I miss hi-

"Miss Decker?!" Linda yelled bringing me out of my reverie making me look at her only to find out she was at the other end of the hallway.. There were two wings in the hallway. She was at the right wing and I was at the left.

"Ho-how did this happen?" I asked as she met up to me and we started walking back to the right wing making me feel bad.

"You zoned out and I didn't notice. Looks like I was talking to myself for the past 10 minutes huh?" She says and chuckles making me feel worse.

"I'm sorry mam. I- I didn't mean to." I apologized.

"Its okay and  please could you not call me mam? I feel old. Call me Linda okay?" What was it with women and them being called by their first name. I nodded my head in response.

"If I'm not prying too much, could I ask why you were crying the some minutes ago Cassy?-can I call you Cassy?"

"Of course you can Linda and you're not prying.... My dad. He died and this has always been the school he had wanted me to come to. You can say it was his dream school but he isn't here to see me.. Achieving his dr-eam" I broke down at the last part. Immediately, I was pulled into her arms and I felt comfort and warmth in there. We didn't say anything but she just held me which told me everything. She was there. For me.

"And if I may ask, what is going on here Linda???!!!" A screechy voice said. I turned meet a woman who was in her early forties, a scowl etched on her face. She was pretty with her blonde hair tied in a neat bun and her pale blue eyes, you would know but I wouldn't say the same for her personality.

"Oh- oh I'm- I'm so-sorry ma-mam" Linda stuttered making me glare at the woman. Who the hell did she think she is.

"Hello mam.. I'm Cassy" I greeted but she didn't reply. Oh no you don't.

"Hello mam... I'm Cassy" I greeted once more and brought out my hand to shake her this time. She rolled her eyes and took it and I smirked. That's what I thought.

"Take her to her room right this instant Linda and I want you in my office immediately after that" she orders and walks away. Once she was out of earshot, I looked at Linda.

"And who the hell was that... Excuse my cussing."

"That was the dean of the school.. She practically controls everything." She tells me.

"But what about the vice chancellor?" I asked.

"He has another job so he's not really here and so the dean covers for him. He only appears when necessary." She replied. I nod my head in understanding and we continue walking until we reach my dorm.

"Well.. This is my stop. I'll look around for you to help you out okay?" Linda said making me more nervous.

"Okay. Well thanks for helping me find my room" I was about to open the door when she held my hand.

"I forgot to tell you .. You have a roommate and she's not really a people's girl but once you get to know her, I bet you'll become great friends." She says.

"Okay but how do yo-" The door opens.

"Okay Brie.. I'm on my- who the hell are you?" The girl says. She had on a black rocker skirt way too short for her and a halter top with long black boots. She was pretty but you wouldn't know that because of the heavy makeup she had on.

"I asked you a question chick" she looked at Linda.

"Who's she Linda?" She asks her and Linda had her head down.

"She's your new roommate miley." Linda tells her.

"Who the hell you calling miley.. My name's not miley you bitc- f**k it. I'm outta here" and she leaves.

"Linda who's tha-" she walks away without a word. And I thought I was complicated.

I entered the room and was love struck well except from Miley's side of the room due to it filled with posters of rock bands and stuff like that but the room was still beautiful. White walls accessorised with long gold curtains and a beautiful chandelier above me. My bed was a beautiful medium sized bed with two wardrobes by the side and an ensuite entitled to me. We had separate en suites. How cool was that??!!

"Woah." I said after a while and I ran to my bed squealing and flopped on it. I was finally here.

"I wish you were here to see me daddy" I whispered even if no one was in the room.

I started bringing out my stuff and putting them in the right place. I had my planner book out and wrote out my schedules and once I was done with everything,I was hungry... I checked the time and realized it was already some minutes to seven in the evening. I had a shower and changed into some black jeans , a white shirt and put on some black sneakers and put my hair in a ponytail. I left my room and was texting my mum to let her know I'd finally settled in when I bumped into someone.

"Oh I'm sorry" we both said at the same time and then laughed.

"Hi. I'm Trevor. Nice to meet you" he said smiling and brought out his hand for me to shake.

"I'm sof-cassy... Cassy . Nice to meet you too"I said nervously and smiled, shaking his hand. What was wrong with me? Why did I want to say my name was Sofia?

"A pretty name for a pretty girl. So do you know where you're headed right now?" Trevor asked bringing me out of my thoughts.

"Uh... Yeah... I guess. Where's the cafeteria please?" Did he just have to flirt with me? Ughhh.. And here I thought I was making a new friend.

"I was just going there right now, I coul-"

"No.. Thank you so much. Bye" I backed away and went the right way.

"Uh cassy?" I turned back to look at him

"Its actually the left." He says and I give him a fake smile and go that way.

"Cassy?" He calls out again and I roll my eyes and turn to look at him again.

"What now?"

"You actually go right. Sorry" he said but I could sense a hint of mockery in his voice and because of my big ego, I still went the left way because I didn't want to agree the second time which led me to nowhere in particular... Just a wall and the hallways of the dorms were long..

"Uggghhhh!!" I yelled out in frustration and started walking back to the right wing when I still met Trevor standing there and when he noticed me, he burst out into laughter. If looks could kill, he would be ten feet under.

"You saw me go that way"

"And I told you it was actually the right,"

"But that's the way to my dorm room" I say before thinking..

"Inviting me already now aren't we?" He says,  smirking.  Oh how I wanted to wipe off that stupid smirk.

"Are you really that oblivious to your surrounding?" He shook his head and pointed beside me which was another hallway except you could see a big sign that read 'Reception'.

"

"And was I supposed to know I wasn't being played again when all you did was play around."

"But I still told you it was the right" I rolled my eyes and muttered a 'whatever' and walked the 'right' way. Get it? Right? Okay no. Well I finally landed at the cafeteria and a few minutes later, Trevor appeared too. Could this get any better?  I ordered my food and went to take a seat which unfortunately invited Trevor there.

"I didn't tell you to have a seat" I tell him.

"I didn't ask." He replies and I just roll my eyes.

"Your eyes might get stuck up there if you don't stop" I think of rolling my eyes but back down on it causing him to smirk.

"Here's your order." The waiter says. Yes yes. The cafeteria has waiters. Its nothing new.

"This is all you're eating?" Trevor asks after the waiter had left.

"Its none of your business and I'd already eaten before" I lie smoothly.

"Yeah yeah. Go ahead and keep lying to my face." Trevor says and rolls his eyes and I gasp.

"Oh so you can roll your eyes and I can't?" I ask him.

"At least its not an every minute habit for me" he shot back and I just rolled my eyes.

"Ha! You proved my point right"

"Oh shut up" I tell him.

"What's your problem with me? I just try to be your friend and you just shake me off like I'm not good enough.. Is that it?" He asks and I actually feel the hint if hurt and I feel guilty. Not. Ha!

"Well giving someone the wrong directions doesn't really help in making someone your friend" I tell him making him roll his eyes.

"Oh please you can't tell me that's the real reason. Come on, you just met me.. What could I have possibly done to make you not like me?"

"You flirted with me" I blurted out.

"Wh-what? When? How? Where?" He asks.

"A pretty name for a pretty girl? Really? You want to get into my pants Isn't that the only reason you're following me around? Cause you've already made a bet with your guys to get the freshman in bed and now you're stuck with me till I finally give in and that's it. Please I know guys like you. With your playboy looks and yo-"

"Shut. Up" he cuts me off.

"Excuse me?" I say, finding myself getting irritated.

"I said shut up." He laughs humorlessly.

"You were the second person I wanted to become friends with because I don't really have friends and I have really bad trust issues. When I first saw you, I was one hundred percent sure you were a good person and you weren't like the rest but who am I kidding? I guess the saying 'don't judge a book by its cover' really exists huh and you just proved it spectacularly. Thanks a lot for making me realize why I don't have friends." He says and leaves.  I sit there. In shock. He comes back again and glares at me.

"Eat. You don't look too good and that's not healthy" and he leaves once more making me feel so guilty that I run out of the cafeteria.
