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.491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7pxXQGvAt
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXnDuSqMvF
"We have to talk to you," Veronica said. "It's important."491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLTxcjSFaX
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuFRMAw9my
"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?"491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx21uE2jQIQ
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNzdGzkhGb
"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--"491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf43ABOBa1p
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytQDp3s8fV
"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."491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvx1zcD2zuS
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMG4nH2pGIp
"What are you talking about?" I asked, annoyed.491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ukMzJC1ge
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPIG88gcFM
Claire spoke next, her voice tight, small.491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3Yqtf1ZmZ
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡep0bRLp8nh
"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."491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCIrptyY0T
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWTGpaHkaB
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.491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6DKhkavaO
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7qEXOtr8k
So I left.491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9yO0oZI0g

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.491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcXLFuaCEF

Jude dropped his hand and frowned. "Didn't you hear me calling you?"491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsOzMndilR
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4KZnUwYir
"No," I said, shaking my head.491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAn6UjqSqHF
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZgutQ2Sw7
"In your own world, huh?" He smiled. "Mind if I join you there?"491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAd2kOORqMy
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cxw62jwUJ
"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."491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaBvlwhAvu
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0DJ9JPCX3
"Like monsters?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UXPZToTZR
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZInof9Atq
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.491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8t7WXM1Lmn
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZF30zjrVx
"Hey," Christian said roughly into my ear.491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu71AlZ5M4k
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQqiKrm091
"Hi," I said, winding my own arm around his body. I stared into his hazel eyes, but they weren't looking at me.491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGar5AwkAg
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstb00npdA2
"Hello, Christian," Jude said softly, inclining his head politely. "How are you today?"491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtu5rjFsAEE
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO71Wjd0URl
"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.491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9idyDzxaYC
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8nfRtTLlQ
I reached up and pinched the back on his neck with my nails, making him wince.491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAM467SGXjn
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0gllotM4V
"Sorry," I told Jude, "but we have to go. I need to get Christian home before he contracts any more of the asshole disease."491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKavSbADJD
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOgiTfYxtw
Jude let out a small laugh. "I think he's already caught more than that, darling."491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkviMQHly9
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3HAY15SNu
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.491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eAAZXFt1f
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIZdvyVi5L
"You're so rude. What is wrong with you?"491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LPdA94od9
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsy5fZhhx5
There was a hard, unkind way he was looking at me.491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRag276hzD
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjsSFkzsfr
"I don't want to get into this now, Scott, I just want to go home."491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpE8rrf7bq
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcjG0sQPQH
I shifted uncomfortably, more from his tone than anything else. I glanced at him. "What time are we meeting later?"491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrpCwREEsV
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAaaJw2S08
He frowned and shook his head. "I don't think it's a good idea right now."491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMag3MWmVkE
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7n1Uc1mat
"Why not?" I asked, my lips twitching. "If it's because of Jude, it's a stupid reason."491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvY9W4VhoD
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaZzYllM34
"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."491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCIFVYTm2R
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAz7QCOasCd
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.491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DnEwLUOUT
