What happened to me? I asked myself . Because all I could remember, there is someone crying inside my head . She's crying again . I could feel and hear it . She's inside my head .
I open my eyes and I saw her . She hugged her knees while her head rested on it and cried . I walk closer toward her but the wall of glass was there again . I tried to slam my hands on them, but still, she can't hear me . All she did is cried . What happened next, I could feel that I dragged by a force that I don't understand . I was taken away from her . And when I woke up, here I am, wonder if where I am .
This room is familiar . I look to my left side and there; I saw the window . It must be noon . Tears began trailing down my eyes, so I close them . I wanted to get back to sleep . I don't want to think I was here but Quinn is nowhere . I have the feeling that I was going back to that lifetime .
Why? Why was I always dragged into this life? When does everything going to end? I am tired . I just wanted to be with Quinn . Please, bring me back, Quinn . Take me from here! I screamed .
"Cassandra? Hey, what's wrong?"
This voice . I know him…
I turned to my left side to hide my tears, but I wanted to cry further .
"I am sorry, Uncle Martin . I was just missing, Mama and Papa . " I said, and this is the truth, anyway .
"Okay . Cry all you wanted . I understand . " he said, then patted my back . "The doctor said, we can go home tomorrow . So, they need to conduct all the tests today . But I will ask them to take them later . Okay?"
I need to reply to Uncle Martin, so I just nod my head . He left, and so I continue crying . "Quinn…"

Another morning she woke up in a room she began using to it . She does not surprise anymore if she is looking at the same ceiling in these passing days . Cassie heaved a long sigh before she stepped down the bed and trail the bathroom .
The girl she's looking at in the mirror has bloomed into a lady . She had already developed her chest than the last time they shifted . And her hair is now shoulder-length, and it looks nice on her .
She remembered Madison . Her hair was this length, and but have velvet dark colored eyes . Maybe, if her eyes weren't brown, she was now looking at her daughter . Somehow, she is happy . Levi and Madison are getting married . Now she smiled looking at her reflection but her face also flooded with tears .
Why is this happening to her? Did she do something in her past life, and she was being punished like this?
She misses Quinn badly . She also misses her parents . May her Papa against her having an early marriage, but she misses him badly . She was lucky how their fate changed course, and they were alive in her present lifetime . However, the person in this life; she lost everyone and everything .
Now, it is not surprising how lonely she is… and she can't imagine how she copes up life without feeling love . Lydia and Mimie badly treated her . If Martin were not too nice, she would absolutely feel abandon until the day comes…
The day would come, and she would be happy . That is why just hold on . She wished to tell her this . If she has a chance to talk to herself, she wanted to tell her that everything would be okay .
That is why, the thing she's grateful to this switching places like this, is she from this life experience how her life will go to change soon . So it is okay if she suffered from loneliness because a perfect life is about to happen in the time that everything fulfills . She also wanted to tell her this . . . Cassie was on her thoughts when she heard that Mimie banging the door .
"What the hell are you doing inside?" Mimie banging the bathroom door . "You don't own this bathroom, so mind that someone else has to use it!" Mimie yells at her after she opens the door . "What took you so long? Don't forget our breakfast!" Mimie added .
After she got dressed, she went downstairs and began making breakfast for them . Too bad, Lydia and Mimie stay home all day . It is Sunday, and so they were just lazing at home . By dinner, they complain about the food she cooks . There is nothing much to cook anyway because Lydia did not do any shopping for the next whole week's food stocks .
"Can you call this food?" Mimie complains once again . She wanted to counter, but she kept her silence . She should not put the real owner of this life in a situation she has to face the consequences of her foolishness . And so, she bears all the bad words they threw at her .
"Can't you learn more dishes?" Lydia blurted out .
She knew . But she chose not to show it . If the times the Cassandra in this lifetime come back; Mimie and Lydia would notice that something is not right and there is a difference to their cooking . That usual, she's pretending that can't cook .
"Why you didn't ask someone to teach you how to cook? You learned French for free . For sure, you can do the same in learning how to cook . You can ask Miss Bennett's boyfriend, right?"
"Okay, Aunt Lydia," she concurred, for Lydia to stop ranting further . She glances at her who the woman is grinning . She looks, please . She had a bad feeling about this, but she ignored it . Tomorrow she will go to the Academy and talk to Mr . Larry then .
The next day, after breakfast, Cassie did not go to her school . It is Monday, but she will ditch school in the morning . She's walking toward the Bastien Culinary Arts Academy when someone calls her .
"Cassie!"
"Levi? What are you doing here?"
"I waited at your school gate . But it's past nine in the morning but you did not go to school so am worried . You also did not reply nor answer your phone . "
Oh, that's right . She didn't check if she had a phone . She doesn't much use it anyway as she has no reason to .
"Why were you looking for me, by the way? I am going to Mr . Bastien's house . "
"Why?"
"I was planning to enroll at his Academy . I mean, to learn how to cook . "
"For your aunt? She's too much! Why did you not tell your uncle how they treated you bad?"
She doesn't know how to answer him . She needs to stay away from trouble the real Cassie in this lifetime, and so she will be just obeyed . She has to change the topic to avoid this matter . "What are you doing here? You have a class, right?"
"It was your birthday yesterday . We plan to treat you, but we can't contact you . And I saw that your aunt just staying home . "
Oh, her birthday? Which part of the book is she going to Larry's academy? Her eyes widen while peering at Levi . It is the day! This is the day!
Cassie quickly marching towards the Bastien Academy leaving Levi behind, and he just followed her quietly .
Quinn was here! And to follow what happens in the book, they have to meet . Not for Quinn to meet Cassandra but their chance of an encounter .
Her whole body is shivering with excitement . Her heart beats racing inside her chest . She has to knock and get inside to talk to Mr . Larry .
