I Dare You

Cassie Edwards’s POV

Living as two people is such a pain in the ass but I love every second of it. I still get the fame and the private life that I’ve always wanted.

I was born as Cassie Edwards, a typical nerd at school that always wears braces and glasses. Not to mention that I’m the second daughter of Billy Edwards who is a famous businessman. I have one big sister and 3 older brothers. Yes, that’s a lot. But I live as another identity too. I made Katherina Locks. I’ve been modeling since I was 15 and now I’m 18 years old. I joined a famous model agency called McCoy Models.

Living as a billionaire daughter and a model was not easy. My family wanted me to have privacy living my school life and not wanting people to bully me too. So when I’m living as Cassie, I use a wig and fake braces along with the big glasses. I wear baggy shirts too so I will be invisible.

I used to be bullied when I was in middle school, so I prefer that I stay hidden all the time. Not to mention that I’m not that smart to begin with so… this is a perfect scenario.

I have 4 older siblings. My sister, Clarissa, she’s a pianist and a famous one. She’s so loveable and I always look up to her. Then I have twin brothers, Victor and Vincent. They’re 3 years older than me. Victor is an actor and Vincent is a famous chef. As for my oldest brother, Dean, he is the CEO of our company replacing our dad.

I have 3 best friends and they’re all models. I love them a lot.

“Let me drop you to school,” Dean said.

“Breakfast first, Cassie!” my mom said as I was taking my shoes out from the shoe rack.

“I’m late, mom,” I said.

“Make sure to eat at school!” my dad said from his office room.

“Bye!” I said as I dragged Dean with me out from the house. He took out his keys to his Porsche and I got into the passenger seat. I got inside and pulled my small mirror to see myself.

Black wig check.

Fake braces check.

Big glasses check.

Baggy shirt check.

“What time will you finish school?” Dean asked as he got in. I put on my seatbelt and was ready to go.

“Don’t worry about me.”

“Ask Clarissa to pick you up, sadly that we only have two drivers and the twins are using them,” he said.

“Don’t worry, I’ll be okay. I’ll call Clarissa later.”

“She might have practice but I’ll let her know,” Dean said as he started his car and drove out from the house.

Who doesn’t know the Edwards? But my parents successfully keep everyone hidden because they’re afraid that we will get affected. So the only kid that people knew was Dean. They knew Billy Edwards had 5 children but the public only knew one. I mean some people knew but my dad always took off our photos from the internet before they got spread out.

“Dean, stop here,” I told him to drop me a block away from my school.

“Okay. Cassie?”

“Hmm?” I asked as I turned to him. He gave me his sandwich and I chuckled, “Thanks.”

“Make sure to eat it, you will lose a lot of weight after that fashion show.”

“I’ll keep that in mind!” I said and got out of his car. I looked around and I’m glad that I’m an early bird so there’s not a lot of students here. I walked to school and was greeted by my bullies. My family never knew that I always got teased a lot at school.

“Look who’s here. Cassie the Nerd. So dare or dare?” Gina asked as she cornered me with her minions.

“Or?” I looked down.

“I dare you to ask Cole Harrison to be your boyfriend,” she said and I looked at her in horror.

“No, I can’t,” I said in a small tone. I really don’t want to get into trouble.

“If you don’t do it, I’ll let the principal know that you stole my things,” she threatened me and I know she’s not bluffing.

“I’ll do it,” I said and she gestured to me to go. I looked around to look for Cole. I made my way to the other side of the hallway where I saw him leaning to the locker talking to his friends. This is going to be embarrassing but I had no choice.

I walked to him slowly and Gina gestured to me to speed up. I stopped right in front of him and he looked at me, raising his eyebrows.

“Uhmm, Cole… Cole Harrison, will you be my boyfriend?” I asked in a small tone.

“What?! Louder!” Gina said and everyone turned their attention to me.

“Will you be my boyfriend?” I asked as I gulped nervously. I was ready for him to embarrass me in front of everyone. Cole looked at me with a smirk and I closed my eyes, ready for him to say no.

“Okay.” 

“What?!” I could hear everyone gasping and I opened my eyes looking at him in disbelief.

“What?!” I heard Gina completely pissed.

I just knew, from that moment, my life will change.
