Snippet #1943644

Cassandra had buried her head in a book as soon as she had sat in Melanie's car. Melanie was her case-worker and taking the young woman to her newest foster home, also happening to her her eighth in the last three years. The dark haired woman was prattling on about something or other but all Cassandra heard was the hum of her rather masculine voice, tuning the actual words out until the car came to a stop and the blonde teenager looked up.

" Here it is," Melanie said with an accomplished smile on her lips, " Your new home."

The blonde rolled her dark blue eyes as she snapped the book closed, to which Melanie flinched. Was it obvious this girl was new to the job? It certainly was to Cassandra and she made a point of trying to unnerve the poor woman. " Oh," she said lightly, raising an eyebrow as she stared at the window. " How lovely," Cassandra's tone was sarcastic but she really couldn't deny the place was nice.

" Come on Cassie," Melanie said cheerfully as she opened her car door and got out of the vehicle, closing the door behind her and cutting of Cassandra's rude comment, to which the girl dropped the book to the floor. It was Melanie's anyway so she really didn't care if it got damaged.

The teen glared as she got out of the car and slammed the door closed, Melanie had already grabbed her backpack from the back seat, and grabbed the bag from the woman before slinging it over one shoulder. Her foster brother in her last home had given it to her for her birthday and she hated for others to touch it.

Melanie led the way to the front door, chirping cheerfully the entire way as Cassandra's gaze wandered around the area. It was lovely and that made her despise this place already.
