Disclaimer: I don't own them, I just use them to release my creative juices and make my Muse happy:).
Cassie tossed and turned in her bed. She couldn't seem to get to sleep. She'd been through a lot in the last week. It was bad enough that she had been saved by the woman that she hated more than anything; but to have that used as a reason to let her go free to hurt more people was too much. In her heart, she knew it wasn't her fault. That didn't stop her from feeling guilty.
Then there was what was actually keeping her awake.
Tomorrow was Monday.
Tomorrow she had to go back to school.
Tomorrow she had to lie to her friends about where she had been for five days.
Tomorrow she had to explain to Dominic about her "low blood sugar" and their "faulty wiring", and make it sound like a convincing coincidence.
Tomorrow she had to go back to being a normal teenager...and it sucked.
