too, grabbing her plate and her glass to take it back inside.
She didn’t expect Cassia to follow her, and when she

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you. I just wanted to say that
being shy isn’t a crime. The guys misunderstood you. I know
you don’t think you’re above anyone, but I also think it’s
worth getting to know people. I know it’s a lot of time and
effort to put in, and most of the time there’s seriously little
reward, but I also think that a good amount of that time,
people are worth it. You might be surprised. My dad never
gave me a choice. I always had to come right home from
school. He was super protective. I went to a private school,
and I never felt like my time outside of it was really my own. I
really didn’t have a say in who I got to know and who I didn’t.
I didn’t get to have friends like other people did. I’ve never
been to a sle
epover before. Anyway. Now that I have the
choice, I make sure I go for it. Even if it doesn’t seem worth it
or like it’s going to work out.”

often. If you still want to show me some editing and how to
work the camera, I’d still like to learn.”
