Where the River Runs

Oh hey look another fanfic

Chapter 1
Cass swirled her finger in the stream, feeling the tiny current push against it. It was so tiny, but so fierce. Maybe that was why Cass was sometimes called 'Stream'. Tiny, but fierce.

She always got in trouble. In her 2nd grade class, she was sometimes caught putting extra homework in people's backpacks and skipping people in the lunch line and kicking people when they talked too much.

Cass didn't care what they thought.

They would see her as one thing, and they would try to change her. But they couldn't.

Tiny, but fierce.

"You're still here?"

Cass looked up. Dillon was staring at her. His eyebrows twitched.

"What do you mean, you're still here?" She asked, shooting the question back at him. Last she saw, he was the one in the tree for an hour earlier.

"You've been here a while now."

"You were the one in the tree for an hour."

"Shut up."

Cass grinned at him. "That's only going to happen once I'm dead."

"We'll see about that," Dillon scoffed.

"Okay," Cass said, grabbing a tree branch near her. She could feel the wooden grip of it. That's what she liked about the outdoors- it rarely gave you splinters.

"What?" Dillon said, looking confused.

"You said you wanted to fight."

"I did not."

"The message was in there."

"Whatever," Dillon answered, sighing.
