Cassie's P.O.V
I widened my eyes as I stared at my phone. Henry's name was all over the school website. I didn't want it to end this way. I just wanted to get back at him, not this...this was way too much.
I wonder if he has seen it. Is he okay ?
Come on Cassie, don't feel sorry for him, he deserves it, but still I can't help but feel bad. I made a call to Kelvin and Ashley.
' Cassie, have you checked the school website? Henry's really trending ' Ashley said, as soon as she picked up. I could hear her giggle.
' Yeah, I have '
' Wait, your voice doesn't sound cheerful, ain't you happy? ' She asked, before I could answer her. Kelvin spoke up.
' How is she going to be happy about it? She has a heart not like some people who don't '
' Kelvin, I swear I could slap you through my phone ' Ashley huffed.
' Well, then try it '
' Do you think I was a bit hard on him? ' I suddenly asked.
' Of course, not. He deserves more ' Ashley said.
' Well, if you felt good after doing it, then it doesn't matter if you were hard on him or not ' Kelvin said.
' Yeah, I felt good earlier, but seeing how wide it has gone, I can't help but feel sorry for him ' I said.
' That's your choice to make. Anyway, my mom is calling me. See you at school tomorrow, bye ' He said before disconnecting.
' Cassie, I have got to go too, bye ' Ashley said.
' Bye sleep tight '
' Yeah, I will. You too ' She said, then disconnected.
I fell on my bed thinking about it. Well, I'm not going to feel bad, because he deserves it for making my first week in school so annoyingly dumb.

When I got to school the next day, I opened the school website again, but to my surprise everything related to Henry's scandal had been taken down.
Hmm...smart guy!
Somehow I felt better, something I didn't like, because I was supposed to hate him.
Throughout the day at school, Henry was surprisingly calm and quiet, he didn't even flirt with the girls in class like he used to. Why am I even concerned about that? It's his damn business, not mine.

' Cassie, wake up. Mom needs you downstairs ' Delaney yelled in my ear.
' Geez Laney, what was that for?' I grumbled, really annoyed as I covered my ear.
' That was the only way I could wake you up, so get your butt off your bed and get downstairs ' She said in an ordering manner.
' Tell mom, to give me ten more minutes. I still feel really sleepy ' I mumbled. I didn't set my alarm last night, so I could have a long nice sleep, but someone called Delaney spoiled it.
' Ten minutes that will turn to three hours. Now get up ' She said, dragging me from my bed.
' Can't I at least clean up first?'
' You can do that later '
' Come on Laney, why are you behaving like mom? '
' Because I'm her daughter ' She replied in a sarcastic tone with an eye roll.
' So I'm not, huh?' I asked with a raised eyebrow.
' Maybe you were adopted ' She said and ran away.
' Just don't let me lay my hands on you ' I yelled after her and stood up to go to my bathroom. I did my morning things and went downstairs. All the maids in the house were all moving about doing one thing or the other with my mom ordering them around.
I got to where she was standing and greeted her.
' Mom, what's the occasion? I asked as I looked around.
' Have you forgotten what today is?' She asked, standing akimbo. I furrowed my brows puzzled, what is today? I mean, I know it is Saturday, so what other day could it be?
' What day is it that I don't know? ' I asked.
' I can't believe you forgot what today is, today is Saturday ' She said.
' Yeah, I know that mom'
' Hmm, you've got a terrible memory, Cassie '
Okay, now I'm totally lost.
' Mom, just tell me, would ya? ' I said, already tired of thinking.
' Our business partners are coming to our house today '
Business pa...oh! Geez, I totally forgot, my parents' business associates were coming to visit us. I widened my eyes in realization.
' So now you remember ' My mom said with a fake frown.
' I swear mom, I totally forgot ' I said, itching the nape of my neck. My mom shook her head.
' So, because of your business partners, you are all acting like the president is coming for a visit. Are they that important?' I asked.
' Trust me, they are. Now come to the kitchen and help me ' She said, going towards the kitchen.
