there , there , my beauty , my beauty . nicholas followed my gaze , even though he could n't see anything . what in the slinks eyes were wide open in shock . putting her arm around my shoulders she led me out to the front porch . though i want to be mad at him , i ca n't . he knew what i said was true . `` you and i both know cassie does n't have friends . '' i looked up at him , my eyes becoming wide .
