Chapter 4 - Sean's POV
"She rejected you?!?!" I asked Jordan.
"Ya... I was so stupid to think my dream would ever come true... Like why would such a popular, amazing girl ever like me, a boring guy?"
"Jordan, you're amazing. But didn't Cara say yes to you the other day?"
"Ya, she did. But in grammar, she told me she couldn't go with me."
"Well, I'm really sorry for asking her to the dance. If I knew you liked her, I wouldn't have."
"Thanks dude. Anyways, how are you. Anything new I don't know about?"
"Ummmm... A girl asked me to the dance."
"Cool! Who?"
"My second choice for both the dances."
"ROSE?!?!"
"Yup."
"And you said....?"
"I told her sure. I mean, why not?"
"But didn't you like Cara?"
"Well... To be honest... No."
"Did you only ask her because of Emma?"
"Wait, which Emma? The one that's always around Cara, is a mean b****, and is a bossy drama queen, or the sweet, shy girl that likes James?"
"The sweet, shy girl that likes James."
"What did she do?"
"Seriously genius!? Of course the first Emma! She told me Cara really liked me, so I asked her to the dance. And then everyone started thinking of us as a thing. Even Cara doesn't know I don't like her."
"Oh."
"Well, anyways I have to go sleep. Cya tomorrow."
"K. Make sure you don't forget the presentation. You're up first."
"Oh ya darn. Thanks.

As I walked around the corner to the middle school wing, I thought about this dance. No one would ever know my big secret. I really wish she would like me... but she probably doesn't after what I did to her in second grade. I really wanted her to come with me to the dance; it was my last dance at this school. No one knew it, but I was moving next year.
I was interrupted from my dream land (yes boys are dreamy too) when bossy Emma came running to me, saying,
"How could you say yes to Rose?"
I hadn't thought of my answer yet. How could word spread so fast?
"Well..."
I had to phrase my words carefully. Knowing Emma, this whole dance could be the death of me.
"He's a free guy and can go with who he wants." Jordan came and saved me.
Just then, the bell rang and before we knew it, Emma was gone.
"What am I going to do?" I really had t given this much thought, had I?
