Cassie didn't want any part of it. So she didn't take any part in it. She was her own group. Cassur faces racial discrimination everywhere from school, to the orphanage, even in the studio where she dances. But even so she made a promise to herself.

The Guy Who Called Me An A-class Bitch
"Well, because she's an A-class bitch." He replied, casually, like calling random girls a bitch was nothing too unusual. Cass gasped. "How can you say that? Do you have any idea what she does to guys who call her a bitch, wait no, didn't you also do that to the guy who called you ugly?" "Well, in the restaurant she was screaming at the both of us actually, thereby creating a scene, which doesn't exactly give a good person vibe off her. And the answer to your second question will be: I'd like to see her try." He explained, looking at me with a look of pure disgust. "Shut up." I yelled, loud enough for him to hear.
