Before the last class let out, I was stopped at the door by Veronica and Claire. They had been two of Cassie's friends, the other half of her otherwise horrible exterior, and had been giving me looks for days.518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmK36dIJOJ5
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvc4aeRjp7K
"We have to talk to you," Veronica said. "It's important."518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3ZMNkwpWn
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GIFn3GYCv
"It couldn't possibly be," I said, rolling my eyes. "The two of you have never had anything important or nice to say to me in four years. So what is it?"518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAgrQqDVfk
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKRtmj4H8F
"It's about Cassie," Claire offered kindly, stepping forward. She looked extremely sad at the mention of her friend. "She didn't hate you, you know. She put on an act and she wanted you to know that before she was--"518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaelsLufe8
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0UfNlG62v
"I guess you didn't go to the funeral," Veronica muttered. "But why would you when you thought she hated you? Maybe you should have gone, Kendall, that way you'd have known the truth."518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyavm3Vtnty
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8F5zmX3GV2
"What are you talking about?" I asked, annoyed.518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XD2flHOuj
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvjWdhN70R
Claire spoke next, her voice tight, small.518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyV4Mav7To
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71eLd0V0LL
"Cassie's mom told us that Cassie wrote a bunch of letters before she died, to the people she had hurt in her lifetime, and she wanted you to have this."518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6fZSQMaUv
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNH7eugSt4
When Claire passed me an envelope, I stared at it before putting it in my pocket. All I wanted now was to get out of this room, to get as far away from these people as I could. I didn't want to be reminded about Cassie Winter's death, because I thought about it every time I closed my eyes at night.518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpSaGI5O4U
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJhXcnrmph
So I left.518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XwWwIaHCW
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEKqc2NO9s
On the way out into the parking lot, after being pushed by several students because they couldn't just wait to leave, a hand fell on my shoulder. It gripped tightly at first, whirling me around. I spun and faced a pair of forest green eyes.518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiqNtMjbR2

Jude dropped his hand and frowned. "Didn't you hear me calling you?"518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VLwXh3XVc
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztYn7WmoNS
"No," I said, shaking my head.518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkZ13cIrVO
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLQzPz6LFC
"In your own world, huh?" He smiled. "Mind if I join you there?"518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW67AKlRPCa
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0x4YsEtgW
"You wouldn't like my world," I told him, and it was true. He wouldn't do well there. "It's full of horrible things."518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQu9v7v4D6
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzizoirkJgc
"Like monsters?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgilUV9pDHB
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULA10nhIil
I suddenly wished the only thing in my world that I had to worry about were monsters. Before I said another word, an arm went around my waist, pulling me close. I inhaled the scent of cinnamon.518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0j7BzhHEyD
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgLyL85zYn
"Hey," Christian said roughly into my ear.518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOIZZDQX7e
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1bQvtSQ3t
"Hi," I said, winding my own arm around his body. I stared into his hazel eyes, but they weren't looking at me.518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKO1xgUDTql
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qgLdeA1RM
"Hello, Christian," Jude said softly, inclining his head politely. "How are you today?"518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDsmR8wbmt
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjygBovsl2b
"Not so well. You see, there's this annoying little prick in front of my eyes and it's hard to make it go away. Do you think you can help me with that?" His lips twisted into a nasty smirk.518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yl5YuPSUy
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh76E50n5JY
I reached up and pinched the back on his neck with my nails, making him wince.518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wIkKL2JG5
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSd7aosvJZE
"Sorry," I told Jude, "but we have to go. I need to get Christian home before he contracts any more of the asshole disease."518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmxIUv2gyJ
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzeXVSpmbu
Jude let out a small laugh. "I think he's already caught more than that, darling."518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXBXGQKA2H
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKr0hMJ7sK
Christian's body tensed and he made a low growling noise in the back of his throat. Before he could do any permanent damage, I gripped his wrist and pulled him out the door. When we were finally close to our cars, I glared at him.518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrCAO8ylp7
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIwzfCMFtM
"You're so rude. What is wrong with you?"518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4maOPcu5C
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1NhCVj2p2
There was a hard, unkind way he was looking at me.518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGwqq7kswb
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMi8MlLfGo
"I don't want to get into this now, Scott, I just want to go home."518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyXKPvJBGz
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDReWw6Tlk
I shifted uncomfortably, more from his tone than anything else. I glanced at him. "What time are we meeting later?"518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCPHBUziCl
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgINOmfQi1u
He frowned and shook his head. "I don't think it's a good idea right now."518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkHxnj0iz2
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcH26vFoPw1
"Why not?" I asked, my lips twitching. "If it's because of Jude, it's a stupid reason."518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vtvykLuhU
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQhRYsxX38
"It's not," Christian said, sighing. "There's just some stuff going on that I need to figure out and I can't do that with you around. I'm sorry."518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgHqVSNYEQ
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrggokbOp1
I stood, watching him get into his car, then I turned around to leave, tears blurring my vision. Jude was standing behind me with his hand outstretched. Something in me worked on its own and I walked toward him.518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpwNPWLWVs
