Cassie's Journal - April 23, 2014



I’ve had a very long day, and got a lot of work done despite wishing that I was outside, enjoying another nice day, and having fun with my friends instead.  Michael, Rowen, and Tim were busy too, though Tim likely found sometime for a little football too.

Though it looked as though we might get some rain this morning, we didn’t; and we had another warm, sunny afternoon.  The timing for that probably seemed like a vote of approval from Mother Nature to Vanessa because that happened while she was breaking up with Allen during our lunch break.  I’m sure that he didn’t feel the same way about that; and I think he’s even more hurt now than he was back in September when Molly broke up with him because she didn’t want a boyfriend who wasn’t in high school too.  Knowing that Vanessa’s timing was almost totally because she wanted to be single for our class trip made things worse for Allen too; and it doesn’t really matter that he knew they were having problems anyway.

Vanessa left Allen behind with a broken heart, but he’s kind, gentle, and unassuming; so they didn’t have a major blow-up or anything.  That didn’t keep the news from spreading fast; and it was soon the top gossip story of the afternoon around the school.  Allen isn’t particularly thrilled with girls in general right now, so Rowen and I couldn’t really be much help to our classmate today; but Michael lent an ear to Allen and tried his best to help him out a little.  Writing very much about this may seem strange to some of you reading this in the future, but high emotion moments are particularly stressful for an empathy; and it can be really tough for Mom, Ethan, Ehlana, and I to be around people who are experiencing extreme emotions – at both the good and bad ends of the scale.

Now that the first break-up has happened, we’ll see whether that starts a chain reaction with the remaining two ‘troubled’ relationships in our class.  I suspect it will; but we’ll see what happens over the next few days.

While that isn’t a good news story, it’s pretty much the only news I have to write about tonight.  I’m sure you don’t want to be bored with the details of my work night; and nothing much else happened at school today.  Our after school study time at Landry’s was short and only mildly entertaining, and other than stopping to have dinner; I’ve been working or studying from the time I got home from walking Michael to the Inn and kissing him goodnight there until now.  I’ve stayed up too late again, but the work is getting done; and I’ll be ready to take the next week off except for the usual daily business issues that come up most days.

All I want to do right now, though, is get some down time; so, until next time…

…Live long and prosper, fellow Magi of the Light!
