you and Cassie are best friends. after one of your friends had introduced you two a year ago you both found out you lived near each other and since then were hanging out as much as you both could. that was until Ruby showed up. see, Cassie and Ruby have never actually dated, and Cassie has never really shown any interest in dating Ruby, she's got her eye on someone else.. but Ruby definitely likes Cassie, like a lot, like so much that your friend group makes jokes about it. but it frustrates you because, of course, you like Cassie! you have since you met her! i mean, shes perfect! she has shoulder-length brown hair, she muscular and shes super funny, what else could you want?

its prom night, you've been avoiding Cassie because Ruby's been drunk and all over her all night and you can't bring yourself to be around that. you're sitting on the bleachers when you hear a little knock, you turn your head to see Cassie, in her little black suit, knocking on the wall to get your attention. when you meet eyes she smiles and puts her hands in her suit-pants pockets

"hey.. you ok?" she asks in a gentle voice, still softly smiling at you
