Rainy’s POV
Hot angry tears sting my cheeks as I try to calm my racing heart. How could Cass betray me like this?
Cass should be ashamed of herself for staying behind in that store with awful Veronica just to get a pair of designer shoes. I didn’t take Cass for phony and shallow, but suddenly I am questioning everything, including my lifelong bestie, as I sit alone on a garden bench in this modern marvel of a mall.
The air is warm and humid up here in the manmade rainforest. I decide that I am thirsty, and I reach for the bottled water I keep stowed away in my purse for exactly this purpose. I guess I am not getting any shoes.
Everyone probably thinks I am a freak now for getting upset and storming out at some playful teasing.
I decide to text Bron and tell him what happened. I need someone to talk to as I calm down and decide how I am going to get home.
I wonder what I am going to wear to the party and if Veronica is still going.
