( Cassie POV)

" Will you be my date tonight, Cassie?" Tony asked me. I blinked at him, several thoughts running through my mind. I was still trying to get over my ex-boyfriend. I didn't wish to see him since he broke up with me and I hadn't seen him since. But then, I wished to see him, even if it was just once, so I could ask him for a genuine reason for breaking up with me.

I gave him my heart, body, and soul. I loved him wholeheartedly, but all he did was break my heart into shreds. I was still trying to pick up the pieces of my broken heart and trying to fix them back in their position. hoping that one day, it would heal.

Hearing Tony ask me out on a date was bringing back the pain. It had been three months since Cameron broke up with me, but it still felt like a day since it happened because the hurt was still fresh in my heart.

I didn't know what to say to Tony. I didn't want him to get the wrong idea of me. He had asked me to be his girlfriend, but I rejected him. If I accepted to go on the date, did it mean I was his girlfriend? I knew I wasn't ready for another relationship. It was too early.

"Cassie", Pam called, jerking me out of my reverie. We were sitting in the school cafeteria, and Tony was asking me this question after lunch. I had been feeling unwell since I got to school that morning, so I told Pam I was going to skip the rest of the classes after lunch.

"Alright, Tony," I finally gave in. He beamed in excitement, and Pam clapped her hands.

"But you're still not my boyfriend," I stated loudly to his hearing. His body was calm as I said that. He quickly replaced the hurt on his face with a smile. "It's okay. We will take it slow."

"Alright," I stood up. Pam did the same as I flung my schoolbag to my shoulder, ready to go home. I was beginning to feel dizzy again just like I had felt earlier that morning before my first class, and I wondered why.

" We will get going, Tony. Thanks for lunch," Pam appreciated him.

"My pleasure," he replied with a wide grin. He was really happy and excited about the night.

"Bye, Tony," I waved at him and walked towards the exit with Pam.

"Alright, Cassie. I will come pick you up when it's time," he shouted after us. I looked back and nodded at him with a sweet smile.

"I'm going to skip class too," Pam muttered as we walked towards the campus gate. I intended to go get a cab.

"You don't need to," I objected.

"I'll take you home," she insisted.

I smiled at my friend in gratitude. Since I started feeling feverish and dizzy, I thought it must have had something to do with the exercise routine I had just commenced after three months. I stopped exercising after the breakup and just picked up the habit again the day before.

"Someone is going out on a date. Someone is going to be someone's girlfriend," Pam sang.

"Pam, it's just a date. Besides, it's too soon, I'm not ready. It's just three months...."

"Is three months not enough to cry over spilled milk?" She questioned with wide eyes.

"I feel it's too soon."

"Relax, babe. Just go along with the flow and see how it turns out. I want you to enjoy tonight. The last time you had fun was three months ago, remember?"

"That was a disaster,” I told her, remembering what had happened and the sex between me and the stranger.

"Disaster indeed." Pam laughed. "Because you got banged."

"Stop it already, please," I begged her to stop teasing me. I was uncomfortable whenever she talked about it.
