"Those terewistful "Soan He can be so loving and thoughtful at times, but at other times, it’s like I’m not even in the room"

I pressed , and I could tell it wouldn’t be leaving anytiain "I just don’t knohat to do I feel like I’uess I should’ve been prepared for this Cass told me--"

"Who aren’t you friends with?" I snapped

She stopped as her eyes got big "Uh, we’re not super tight Iout a bunch last year so…"

I saw the fear in her eyes and reined hosts fro to Fallen Crest Public should’ve put a stop to her connections to them, but I realized that it hadn’t They were friends with Mark, and they were friends with her I wanted to groan They were still so close to me

"Should I not be friends with her?"

It tookabout Cass "No, no I’ood memories from that place"

"Oh" She frowned "I’ave her a smile "Really I’ her hands together "No one talks about you over there"

She flinched as if I slapped her

I grimaced "Sorry You’re friendly Maybe it won’t happen to you"

A relieved look came over her, and her shoulders dropped "I’an I’ve noticed a big difference People are more cautious around me and some of them are fake So me a look as if ere friends, as if ere allies
