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.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9uV6DgSE8
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkrZyc8p96
"We have to talk to you," Veronica said. "It's important."490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygJyyccBHs
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbMaXgsjHU
"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?"490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrMdoHJ6ed
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpz5xKiQZ5
"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--"490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOd3uw6Mi0H
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7ZNDREqUJ
"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."490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaPZaRV9Iy
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuv7cqK8lzE
"What are you talking about?" I asked, annoyed.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgwdOJvEED
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBCQUH12Ds
Claire spoke next, her voice tight, small.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWJdBXM181
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIiykyleSE
"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."490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAI7cJUEFo

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.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtXgmgVP0i
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImFaWefVZq
So I left.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiFZRIbZz9

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.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKd2tzWerS

Jude dropped his hand and frowned. "Didn't you hear me calling you?"490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKmDWH1drD
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RrsXOiRXO
"No," I said, shaking my head.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRDoXqXc4w
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGl7dqwwjn
"In your own world, huh?" He smiled. "Mind if I join you there?"490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70hJoN3ANT
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXOcbXSZ2P
"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."490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vlAzNKFxC
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuMKi6o1fD
"Like monsters?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKow9wzMXx
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwISkk6eX3
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.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PUQWgi8Eu
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4TGPwyRSP
"Hey," Christian said roughly into my ear.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoLejNShRX
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrF32c6Zf5
"Hi," I said, winding my own arm around his body. I stared into his hazel eyes, but they weren't looking at me.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mI1J9mCdd
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgYlKexRZK
"Hello, Christian," Jude said softly, inclining his head politely. "How are you today?"490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHEIGvd1VO
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcA1yx5Ofv
"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.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlp6Fknyubb
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdInvgIxdo0
I reached up and pinched the back on his neck with my nails, making him wince.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleFsOhRN89
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVBxdncWdU
"Sorry," I told Jude, "but we have to go. I need to get Christian home before he contracts any more of the asshole disease."490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjMbRPNIRK
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUWOcll0Wk
Jude let out a small laugh. "I think he's already caught more than that, darling."490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0lJFXpt8v
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxEOlXmT7B
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.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0rACK9X64
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXTiXNeiu5
"You're so rude. What is wrong with you?"490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZdJ2lA3kJ
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnFKdURL5L
There was a hard, unkind way he was looking at me.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIrAU4x1gC
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ022WwVcAyV
"I don't want to get into this now, Scott, I just want to go home."490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfomPQwYVBg
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhQMVqvkyJ
I shifted uncomfortably, more from his tone than anything else. I glanced at him. "What time are we meeting later?"490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsIoj8P0k7
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MDSNxSeiU
He frowned and shook his head. "I don't think it's a good idea right now."490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8F8TIDz8dq
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVdVmAOXfc
"Why not?" I asked, my lips twitching. "If it's because of Jude, it's a stupid reason."490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrv8whTn4S
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSF1C4E5sEv
"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."490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54XNuLpoWY
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwASEdqzKs
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.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMQG6TyAgc
