44 ~°~Chapter Forty-four~°~

"Oh, wow." Is all I say and the room goes quiet.

"I'm going to get back at Elise." Shana promises dangerously. "Don't." She cuts off Dale who's starting to say something.

Dale just rolls his eyes. "It wouldn't kill you to let me finish, you didn't even know what I was going to say."

"Fine." Shana agrees with much difficulty.

"I'll go with Elise to the dance."

Silence crashes into the room at Dale's words.

"W-What?" I stutter when Virgil and Shana remain quiet.

He shrugs like it's no big deal but I can see the cold fury in his eyes. "We don't know what she's going to do next if we don't agree to her terms, I might not be Virgil but I'll have to do."

Shana makes a face. "Are you just playing martyr because you can't take Hayden to the dance?" She glares at him.

A guilty look passes Dale's face but he quickly hides it, crossing his arms pettishily. "I have no idea of what you're talking about." He says convincingly.
