Mistakes Were Made

Let’s go to Sonic tonight.” With the nearest Sonic almost forty minutes away, going there was always an adventure, one Cassie would normally be all for. “I can’t tonight,” she said. “Erin and I are making dinner together.” She didn’t think she’d said anything unusual, but Acacia was staring at her. “What?” Cassie said. “You’re making dinner with Erin? Is she somehow visiting without me or Parker knowing about it?” “Oh, no,” Cassie said. “We’re gonna FaceTime and cook together.” “And you think that is normal?” Cassie rolled her eyes. “She looked at one of the apartments today and is gonna tell me what she thinks.” “God, could you be dating any harder?” Acacia did this to her like once a week, she swore. “We’re not dating, Kaysh.” “I literally don’t understand how you think you’re not.” “Because we aren’t, and neither of us want to,” Cassie said. “Have you even fucked anyone except Erin since Seth?” Acacia asked.
