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.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaPhijXVCN
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0uBGaYynb
"We have to talk to you," Veronica said. "It's important."539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWM9ghAu2d
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOjDC57Z9q
"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?"539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iYlzJOGB4
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPv8ER8c7a
"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--"539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXN4Tt4iazz
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygfY3Va7Z8
"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."539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnZBeDKgnu
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUrPPb2amD
"What are you talking about?" I asked, annoyed.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSACpxCOghv
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqUbE8F8KR
Claire spoke next, her voice tight, small.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaxauKkVcr
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Anwp5w52X
"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."539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfCoGzHaro

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.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfOFQE2OD3
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2CYtOH5gN
So I left.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPujamonJ6A

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.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1S04i6BQv

Jude dropped his hand and frowned. "Didn't you hear me calling you?"539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTImQS6CTQ
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZizMu0eOQR
"No," I said, shaking my head.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Hc5fNfyWs
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVTiAwAoQu
"In your own world, huh?" He smiled. "Mind if I join you there?"539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQ9e1EIuC8
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBviaKts6G
"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."539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pBMJzpAJB
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MXrHrO8NV
"Like monsters?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjWAlCsGtV
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL30p2wkYzS
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.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiILSf1XGPJ
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXcz1Q7wXK
"Hey," Christian said roughly into my ear.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniJcxUwFSu
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBTKEdBn3x
"Hi," I said, winding my own arm around his body. I stared into his hazel eyes, but they weren't looking at me.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqO2MxYu8sb
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnq5hUOpCw
"Hello, Christian," Jude said softly, inclining his head politely. "How are you today?"539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7zQnoqLn7
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1P0YXWPXzD
"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.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJwfUCp1UE
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7ULI0qqi0
I reached up and pinched the back on his neck with my nails, making him wince.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2I5ZT4n2Xo
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhR4V3yFRv
"Sorry," I told Jude, "but we have to go. I need to get Christian home before he contracts any more of the asshole disease."539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVUjYUtKqR
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0H6R7E5du
Jude let out a small laugh. "I think he's already caught more than that, darling."539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4yob0DK7Y
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OPjWsROd5
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.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4YejgwaeS
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpfdqe8NFA
"You're so rude. What is wrong with you?"539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACQhFyFTIe
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRCJa8ixxG
There was a hard, unkind way he was looking at me.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzvlrt8LQ6
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiv0DAegdNN
"I don't want to get into this now, Scott, I just want to go home."539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesMAm2nx86
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmRgviPLji
I shifted uncomfortably, more from his tone than anything else. I glanced at him. "What time are we meeting later?"539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEoI6t38iG
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3UnCe45WS
He frowned and shook his head. "I don't think it's a good idea right now."539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaGnkUYWwb
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0o5DTcoGr
"Why not?" I asked, my lips twitching. "If it's because of Jude, it's a stupid reason."539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRA7KVaPGk
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaSbnx2iEu
"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."539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2B2EzO0Tsu
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKkGiBOq1l
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.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSrIHUiTdy
