                               "Hey guys! Sophie's here!"

            "Hey Soph, you get your matchmaking lists?" Fitz asked.

          Sophie held up her scroll. "Edaline convinced me. And why else would I be here."

          "Because she knew I was here and she wanted to see me." Keefe butted in."
                                            Hi Dex!"

                                    "Hey Sophie!"

     Dex mouthed the words "help me."

           "Hey! Dex! Don't think I didn't see that! And feel it! Can I just say my feeling are hurt."

                              "Keefe, stop being so dramatic."

Keefe snorted. "Foster, if you can't remember,you're the girl who almost died multiple times, but we love you for it."

                                   "Your my runner up!"

             "Okay......whatever! Now.......let's open up our lists!"

Everyone tore their scrolls open. Everyone blushed. Sophie put her hand over her mouth.

        "Well....feels like someone's  happy." Keefe said, raising an eyebrow at Sophie.

"Lets go around in a circle and each say our number ones." Biana went first.

                                   "Well......my number one is Dex!"

She looked over at him and blushed. His cheeks were red.

                          "You're my number one too!"

  "Okay then, I'll leave you two to stare into each there eyes." Keefe said. "My number one is......... SOPHIE FOSTER!!!!"

Fitz's face suddenly got tomatoe red and he stormed out of the room. "Fitz wait!" Fitz kept on walking like Sophie didn't day a word.
                  "Well, Sophie who do you have?" Biana asked.

"Ummmmmm......... I have........ you know what? Lets see what Fitz's scroll says."

They all huddled around Fitz's scroll. Dex picked it up and started cracking up.

                                     "What is it?!!?"

                         His- nu-mber- one-is...... Stina!"

He said between laughs. Everyone cracked up but Sophie.

                            "Sophie,what's wrong?"

                          "It's just..... I feel bad for Fitz."

"Oh, come on! You're his number 5 and Marella is is his number 6. And, oh look! ,Lihn's his number 2! He still has a lot of options! Ya know, assuming you still want to date him."

The whole room went silent. "So...... Sophie, who do you have?" Keefe pressed. "I have.....just HERE!" She threw the scroll at Keefe and ran out of the room. "Well....... this is awkward." Dex said.

"Keefe! Leave me alone! Don't even think about teasing me!"

"Actually, I wasn't going to but maybe now I will."

Fitz turned around. "Oh! Hi Sophie." He said looking at the ground. Sophie sat next to him.

      "You still have a lot of options you know.  Lihn, Marella-"

                                              "You."

     "Ummmmm.....yeah ,me. Anyway, you could still get another list."

              "I don't think so, I like the choices I have now."

Sophie blushed a deep red. He had to mean Lihn, right? There's no way he meant her. Sophie decided to change the subject.

"We should really be getting back to the group now. They're probably waiting for us."

                                                                              ********
"Foster! Why didn't you tell us your number one was me! We all know you've been in love with me all along!"

       "It's my list, and I didn't even want it, so just be happy I let you see it. Do you guys want to play a game?"

             "Oooohhhh!!" Biana squealed. "Lets play that human game! What's it called again Sophie?"

                              "Uggghhhh, Truth or Dare, really Biana?"

                       "I'll go fiirrsstt!!! Truth or dare...........Dex!"

                                    "Ummmmm........Truth!

                                    "Okaaay,  who do you like?"

         Dex says it without hesitation and fairly quick. "At firstilikedSophiebutnowilikeyou!!

         "Now it's my turn!" Dex said, quickly changing the subject.

                                      "Sophie! Truth or Dare!"

                         "Truth!" She knew Dex truths couldn't possibly be as bad as Fitz's or Keefe's.

                                "Keefe! I need your help! Give me an idea!"

       Keefe started rubbing his hand together like an evil madman.  Sophie new she was in trouble now. Her fate was in the palm of Keefe's hand.
