Cassia stood silently in the empty dance studio staring at the mirrors. There were images shifting through them that made her incredibly scared. She was used to having visions like this, it wasn't anything new. Usually they were good things, she knew she was getting a car for her birthday 6 days ahead of time. She had foreseen bad things too though, the death of her friend Pogue Parry's father. That was her first vision and it terrified her. She'd gotten used to them since then, but they never failed to overwhelm her. This one was getting worse by the second, Pogue's motorcycle was lying in an empty road and someone was hurting Pogue, it shifted to an old barn that was on fire and Caleb fighting with the same guy that had hurt Pogue.

Pogue threw open the door to the dance studio and watched Cassia for a moment. She was staring wide-eyed at the mirrors in front of her as the music blared loudly. The song she was supposed to be rehearsing was skipping but she completely ignored it.

"Cassia," Pogue called as he crossed toward her. "Cass?"

Without realizing it Cassia moved closer to the mirror, Pogue was lying in a hospital bed and his heart rate monitor was slowing down. "No," Cassia shouted as she reached out to touch him. "No, no, no!"

Pogue grabbed one of her arms and turned her around to face him. "Cassia, what is going on," he demanded.

Cassia gasped loudly as she saw the vision end. She yanked her hand out of his grasp and leaned back against the mirrors. "Pogue," she said shakily.

"What was that?"

"I just had a vision," she explained. Cassia pushed past him and moved over to the cd player. She pressed the stop button and took the disc out.

"You want to tell me what the vision was," Pogue asked as he watched her move around the room.

"Um… not really," Cassia said shaking her head in confusion. This one was quickly becoming hazy, she couldn't remember the exact details of what she had seen. She knew it involved Pogue, Caleb, and another boy, but the details were slipping away. That was the problem with her visions, the longer they were the harder they were to remember.

Cassia grabbed her bag and turned to look at Pogue. "If I remember it I'll tell you, it's hazy right now," she said softly.

"Cass, your nose," Pogue said as he started toward her again.

Cassia blinked at him in confusion, "What?"

Pogue grabbed a towel from the pile behind her and pressed it against her nose. "You're bleeding," he explained.

"Oh, yeah I don't even notice it anymore," she mumbled around the towel.

"That's kind of a problem Cass," Pogue pointed out.

"Tell me about it, anyway what are you doing in here? Looking for Kate," Cassia asked as she took the towel from him and took a step back.

"Yeah I was, but I heard the cd skipping so I came to see what was up. You sure you're ok?"

"I'm fine," Cassia said waving him off. "Kate left early to get ready for the party, apparently she has a new roommate and they need to bond."

"Ok, you coming tonight? Tyler would love to see you," Pogue said innuendo in his voice.

"Pogue, you know Tyler and I only dated for a month freshmen year, we are just friends now. Maybe I'll see you there though."

"Ok, what are you working on," Pogue asked. Appearances can be deceiving even with his bad boy biker vibe, Pogue had always been really supportive and curious about her dancing. Part of it probably stemmed from growing up together. He'd also admitted that there was something sexy about a dance studio with all the mirrors and sweaty girls that got him going.

"Solo for the fall showcase," Cassia replied. She pulled the towel away from her nose and sniffed gently. "Am I good here?"

"Yeah it's stopped," Pogue said after examining her nose. "What song are you dancing too?"

"Well my mom wants me to do a classical one, but I think I am going to use Prelude 12/21, more intensity."

"AFI is always a good choice," Pogue said with a smirk Reid would have been proud of. "All right, I'll get out of your way. See you later Cass."

"Later Pogue," Cassia called as he left the room.

Cassia examined her outfit in the mirror before turning to look at her roommate. "Are you sure Lacy? I mean I look kind of….," she trailed off unsure of which adjective to use.

"You look hot," Lacy said as she finished her hair. "It's the first party of the year, you've got to look amazing. Besides a little birdie told me you were talking to Pogue Parry earlier and I know that things are getting rough between him and Kate. Now is the time to strike!"

"Lacy," Cassia said sharply. "Seriously, Pogue and I are friends, same thing with me and Tyler, Reid, and Caleb. I'm not going after Pogue while he has a girlfriend."

Lacy let out a twinkling laugh. "So you're saying that if Pogue were single?"

"Girl it would be on like Donkey Kong," Cassia said with a wink.

"You know everyone thinks Tyler is still hung up on you though? Do you think that would be weird," Lacy asked.

"It's been more than 2 years since Tyler and I dated! People need to get over it, besides I know you like him so go for it already," Cassia replied with a smirk she'd picked up from Reid.

"Maybe I will," Lacy said as she moved toward the door. "Now let's go or we are going to be late!"

By the time the girls arrived the party was in full swing. Cassia and Lacy did a lap around party before joining a group of girls from their floor. Cassia kept glancing around waiting for the sons, well a particular son, to show up.

"Oh look, your favorite girl is here," Lacy said pointing into the crowd.

Cassia glanced over her shoulder and met the gaze of Kate Tunney. Cassia nodded slightly before turning her attention back to her friends. "She doesn't deserve him," Cassia muttered. "Everyone knows she is cheating on him with that douche Aaron Abbott."

"Everyone but Pogue, why won't you tell him?"

"Because I am not ruining his relationship so I can get with him, that is low," Cassia replied.

"And exactly what Kate did to you last year so she could get with him," Lacy pointed out. She was right of course. Pogue and Cassia had been on the verge of finally getting together, when Kate decided to spread a rumor that Cassia had slept with the captain of the swim team from Ipswich Public. It wasn't true, Cassia was a virgin, but Pogue didn't know that. He felt betrayed and ended up with Kate instead.

"We both know that I would love nothing more than to see Kate get what is coming to her, but I refuse to turn karma against me in an attempt to do it. Besides revenge isn't something I'm a big fan of," Cassia replied.

"Yeah I know, which on occasion makes you totally boring," Lacy said. "They're here, sons at 2 o'clock."

Cassia spun around and smirked. She turned slightly toward Lacy and smiled. She held up her red solo cup. "I propose a toast, to this year, may it be a year we'll never forget and may we get everything we want… especially as far as two sons are concerned."

The girls clinked glasses and smiled at one another. "And to you finally losing your virginity," Lacy added as an afterthought.

"Yeah, thanks for reminding me Lacy," Cassia snapped as they moved through the crowd toward the sons. They came up behind Reid and Tyler, Cassia slipped her hands over Reid's eyes and whispered in his ear. "Guess who?"

"Ohh, please be someone hot," Reid murmured in response before he turned around and swept Cassia up in a hug. "Oh thank god, I thought you were the girl I hooked up with earlier, stage 5 clinger."

"Reid what have I told you about clingy girls," Cassia asked. "What's up Tyler?"

"Nothing much," Tyler said as he glanced at Lacy. "Hi Lacy."

Pogue nodded at Cassia before returning his attention to his girlfriend. "Who's this," he asked referring to the girl standing in front of the group. Cassia cocked her head to the side and studied the girl for a moment.

"My new roommate, Sara this is Pogue Parry, Tyler Simms, Lacy Franklin, Reid…"

"Garwin," Reid said quickly interrupting Kate. "Reid, Garwin, good evening."

"Good evening," Sara replied.

Cassia laughed softly and rolled her eyes at the new girl. "Kate forgot her manners, I'm Cassia York, ignore this idiot," Cassia said pointing at Reid.

"You know," Reid said interrupting Cassia. "Sara is my grandmother's name, you kind of remind me of her."

"What," Cassia said as Caleb spoke up. "Caleb Danvers, and you don't bring my grandmother to mind in anyway," Caleb said with a smile.

"Reid, your grandmother is not named Sara," Cassia whispered, "and that is the worst line I've ever heard."

"Shut it," Reid snapped.

"Whore alert," Lacy warned as Kyra joined their group.

"Hi Caleb, how was your summer," Kyra asked.

"It was great, he dumped your cheating ass and he didn't get whatever disease you caught from your asshole of a boyfriend," Cassia said pointing over to Aaron. "Of course, whoever Aaron is cheating on you with might not be so lucky."

"Don't be a bitch Cassia," Kyra replied. "We all know who you are hung up on."

"Oh you didn't," Lacy said as she stepped forward to beat the red head down. Cassia grabbed her arm and pulled her back.

"So not worth it Lacy," Cassia snapped.

Kyra spun on her heel and turned to Sara. "I'm Kyra," she said with a smile.

Sara glanced dubiously at Cassia and Lacy before speaking. "Sara," she said shaking Kyra's hand.

"Oh, right from the Boston public, tell me how does one go about getting into Spencer from a public," Kyra asked.

"I bet she got in because she was smart, not because her mommy screwed the Dean to get her in," Lacy pointed out.

"Why don't you all give it a rest," Caleb suggested glancing from Cassia to Lacy to Kyra.

"Why don't you give it a rest," Aaron demanded as he stepped between Kyra and Caleb.

"Oh and this night just keeps getting better, Captain Douche Bag has come to defend the queen of the sluts," Lacy said excitedly.

"We should feel honored by his very presence," Cassia replied.

"I don't want any trouble Aaron," Caleb said.

"You two should shut up," Pogue suggested as he leaned toward Cassia and Lacy.

"As if we would," Lacy replied. Cassia simply shrugged and looked away, Kate was giving her the evil eye.

"I think you owe Kyra an apology," Aaron said to Caleb.

"I'm sorry you're dating a total asshole," Lacy said quickly.

"I'm sorry about that unfortunate disease you got this summer, I've heard crabs are a bitch," Cassia said with a smirk.

"I think Kyra owes Sara the apology," Caleb said ignoring Cassia and Lacy.

"You two are just jealous because you aren't getting any from anyone. I mean who really wants to be with the school's poster girls for slutty? No one, that's who," Kyra replied.

"Oh bitch," Lacy said as she lunged forward. Pogue and Cassia both grabbed her pulling her back from Kyra as Aaron took that moment to shove Caleb.

Out of nowhere a guy Cassia had never seen before stepped between Aaron and Caleb and glanced at Kyra. "You were being kind of bitchy," he pointed out.

Cassia laughed loudly and earned a smile from the hot new guy. She smiled back as she pulled Lacy farther away from Kyra. "You can kick her ass later," she said softly.

Aaron's friend Patrick decided to top the night off by vomiting everywhere at that exact moment. Cassia glanced at Reid and shook her head. "You know better," she whispered.

"But it's so much fun," Reid said with a shrug.

"Guys, guys," the DJ said over his microphone. "Dylan just called he said he saw three cop cars headed this way on Old Dell Road."

"Shit," Cassia cried. "I get arrested again and my dad is going to kill me."

Cassia and Lacy rushed after the rest of the group toward the cars. "So what are you two doing," Reid asked.

"What did you have in mind," Cassia asked. What most people didn't realize was at the end of the day Reid was a really good guy, a total man whore, but a good guy nonetheless. He had always stood by Cassia, he was one of her best friends.

"How about we stop by later, the four of us can hang," Reid suggested. "Maybe Tyler will finally make on a move."

Cassia laughed and glanced over at Tyler and Lacy. "You do remember that I had to make the first move with him right?"

"Well maybe she'll make a move, we're all taking the hummer, but Tyler and I will catch you later," Reid said as they caught up with Caleb, Pogue, Kate, Sara, and the new guy.

Cassia turned to see where Lacy had gone when she walked into someone else. "Whoa, sorry," she said as she stepped back. She glanced up and met the gaze of the new guy. "Hi."

"Hi, I'm Chase," he said quickly sticking out his hand.

"Cassia," she replied before shaking his hand. "Nice save back there."

"Yeah I thought that guy and I were about to go at it, his friends puking sure came at an opportune moment," Chase said easily.

"Didn't it though," Reid called over his shoulder throwing a smirk at Cassia.

"Patrick never could hold his liquor," Cassia said with a shrug. "You need a ride back?"

"Thanks, but I already told Kate and Sara I would ride with them," Chase explained.

"You better hurry, I think they are about to leave," Cassia said as they arrived at her car.

Lacy appeared next to her and climbed in the passenger seat. "We've got to book it, your dad will kill you if we get caught," Lacy reminded her.

Cassia glanced after the new guy before climbing in her car. She looked over at the hummer where Tyler and Caleb were hanging out two of the windows shouting to Reid. She could just barely see Pogue in the interior light. She cranked the car and quickly took the shortcut back to the main road. She slowed down when she felt a vision coming on.

"Lacy, hold the wheel," she said quickly as she leaned back. Lacy grabbed the steering wheel and kept her eyes on the bumpy dirt road as the car continued to slow down. Cassia snapped out of the vision and slammed on the brakes.

"Um, we can't stop," Lacy said in a panic.

Cassia cut off the headlights and pointed at the road 20 yards in front of them. "Watch," she said.

Three cop cars flew past sirens blazing at that moment. None of them noticed the black Range Rover sitting on the tiny side road with no lights on. "God I love your visions," Lacy cried as Cassia threw the lights back on and pulled out of the woods.
