"Cassie..." Knocking on her door, I turned the knob and walked into her room. The white drapes bellowed from

the window, blowing through the open window. The twinkling night sky glistened from the balcony where the

moon shone upon the world.

It was just like her to leave it open all the time, claiming the fresh air helped to enhance her creative ability.

Gazing around the room, | took in the clothes scattered about her unmade bed and littered dresser of makeup

and jewelry. "Cassie?" | called out again as | looked around for where she could be. The softness of her voice

calledtowards the open balcony doors.

"No, I'm coming, god. Just wait for me."

As soon as my hand pushed back the drape, she quickly hung up the phone and spun to look at me. Her dark

brown hair hung in waves over her shoulders as the scelestial blue eyes | once held looked back at me.

"Hey, Mom." "Cassie, who were you on the phone with?" Raising a brow, | crossed my arms over my chest and

sighed. She was up to something, and even though she thought she was smarter than me, she wasn't.

"Oh-just Melissa," she replied quickly as she pushed pastback into her bedroom. "She wantsto come

over to her house tonight."

"She does, huh?" | smirked as | watched her move around her room. She seemed to think | was stupid regarding

her acts of rebellion. There was no way she was simply going to stay at Melissa's house, especially during

homecoming. There was definitely something else going on. "So, you're just going to go without asking

permission?"

Shoving a few pieces of clothing into her backpack, she stopped with a sigh and looked over her shoulder at me.

"I already asked daddy, he said it was okay."

"Oh, really... which daddy did you ask?"

With wide eyes and a disgusted look, she scoffed, "Why do you have to say it like that?"

"Because | want the truth," | replied with my hands on my hips as | stared at her. "Cassie, do you think I'm

stupid? Do you honestly think | don't know what you're doing?"

"Oh my god, mom!" she groaned. "I'm literally not doing anything. Just going to Melissa's and hanging out for the

night since she is like, one of the very few friends | have. Or am | not supposed to have any friends?"

This was her usual MO. She would sit there and pretend she was disgusted with the mention of her doing

something wrong and then try to backtrack to havetrust her.

The moment Cassie cinto her

powers almost three years ago, | thought the world was going to end | didn't understand why she had to be

difficult, but my mother toldall the tit was just a phase and she would grow out of it. | just wished that

would happen sooner rather than later.

Anger surged throughat her tone. "You need to watch how you speak toyoung lady."

She quickly realized that | wasn't going to put up with her tone, and with a sigh she crossed her arms over her

chest. "I'm sorry | just don't like how you act like this to me, but Pollux can do whatever he wants. It's not fair."

The soft pitter-patter of footsteps

behindin the hallway caught my attention, and as | turned, | spotted Raya walking down the hallway with a

book in her hand. She was only a year younger than the twins, and while they had a particular way about them,

Raya was more of a mother hen, making sure her younger siblings were staying in

check at all times.

A child quite often capable of tellingexactly what | wanted to know. Glancing back over at Cassie, | watched

her eyes dart to where Raya had just walked by, and her face paled.

"Raya," | called out softly, stepping through the doorway into the hallway, watching as my dark brown-haired

beauty turned towith a confused glance.

"Yes, ma'am."

"Raya, do you know where Pollux went tonight? | can't seem to find him, and he was supposed to take Dillon to

practice earlier," | said with a very nonchalant attitude as Raya shrugged her shoulders.
