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.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLvKh4LKno
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC85AxphdjA
"We have to talk to you," Veronica said. "It's important."555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvWrCuvGtG
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35JdmggrRz
"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?"555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgbAJIkoOz
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8v2fgfQNAU
"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--"555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EFoLtgIp8
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxC1VKITC5L
"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."555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfz4BGTTaFE
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHxRbckC5F
"What are you talking about?" I asked, annoyed.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUB9OmGalTD
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLqQyFAOp0
Claire spoke next, her voice tight, small.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLKQN6gSOr
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3j2jH8fIKY
"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."555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARgXSV5kWz
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fb8jPkv3B
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.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwQRuc5Es6
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOevZzkPmaZ
So I left.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1L3NLNTCk
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUau70fzQJ
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.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUtAbR6r44

Jude dropped his hand and frowned. "Didn't you hear me calling you?"555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSv7zprMBE
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4uDoV3R9u
"No," I said, shaking my head.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvgCUQDcN6
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9KLMwplr6
"In your own world, huh?" He smiled. "Mind if I join you there?"555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCd5VURBd37
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqZt08LU8n
"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."555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahLv1zZcKq
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAh1fgAwgz
"Like monsters?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzzKAQMtCG
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cgXEddZhj
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.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWTg5T0pab
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGhDMotRPh
"Hey," Christian said roughly into my ear.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaWFSvgaae
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTawUM3x32
"Hi," I said, winding my own arm around his body. I stared into his hazel eyes, but they weren't looking at me.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCb177X1wfv
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnKCYHJFsY
"Hello, Christian," Jude said softly, inclining his head politely. "How are you today?"555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VHf71HqRw
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtpqRWXVT2
"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.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtbKyzkjdy
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51XOpDrjro
I reached up and pinched the back on his neck with my nails, making him wince.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hiEjSrExF
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJshjR0o0Sm
"Sorry," I told Jude, "but we have to go. I need to get Christian home before he contracts any more of the asshole disease."555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhffWJvrefY
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlT9WHdJfS
Jude let out a small laugh. "I think he's already caught more than that, darling."555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRX2haWIXD
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzI9zRcTu9
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.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiyRFvyciX
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGC6ZQQUBU2
"You're so rude. What is wrong with you?"555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTDrSqd6D7
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9e8JgoiHcq
There was a hard, unkind way he was looking at me.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rnlKgap2N
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbzqR7alfj
"I don't want to get into this now, Scott, I just want to go home."555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmMVLUuKMd
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtE5hbcmD36
I shifted uncomfortably, more from his tone than anything else. I glanced at him. "What time are we meeting later?"555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxjgZuSeDL
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pKDMfhOEr
He frowned and shook his head. "I don't think it's a good idea right now."555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡai4HenMFhp
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡou8Ud2Ojnz
"Why not?" I asked, my lips twitching. "If it's because of Jude, it's a stupid reason."555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXG7WG3OIDJ
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhqqN7O9ju
"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."555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsTcF9KhGT
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3G21yRB3hk
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.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNA1nNZaGwg
