davina's pov, later that day (19th of june)

' he called me an acquaintance ! ACQUAINTANCE, ANDREA!' i yelled, looking out of the window of her car.

'i fucking told you they were here.' andrea said quietly, ' why are you so mad?'

'why i am mad? are you for real? he could tell that we were friends at least. like.. what the actual fuck. one moment he stares at me, giving me weird smirks then his girlfriend appears and he acts as if we don't fucking know each other. ' i said.

'i get it, i just thought ethan was a closed page.'

' he is! he is! its not that. did grayson act as if he doesn't know you? i don't fucking think so. he literally said one thing to me, while his girlfriend didn't stop talking.' i rolled my eyes.

andrea parked her car in from of the dance hall. we took our things out and headed towards the entrance.

'she even invited you and me after practice today. ' i told her.

'invited us where?'

'their house obviously. i tried to find an excuse why we can't go, but she continued to insist on us going and ethan stood there without saying a word and i got mad. i told her we would think about it.'

'no way. i am not going. can you imagine how awkward it will be? me, you, ethan and grayson? seriously? no!' andrea snapped at me.

'why would he act as if he doesn't know me? we fucking dated.' i said as andrea and i entered the hall.

'maybe he needs time to tell his girlfriend. imagine how would she feel if the girl who she randomly met at a clothing shore ends up being her boyfriend's ex, who he used to be in love with back in high school. like.. i understand ethan's position. he got scared.' andrea tried to calm me down.

she was right. but ethan's ignorance hurts me. he was important to me and i was important to him. seeing him after all this time , with another girl is fine with me, but him pretending as if we don't know each other made things worse.

if gina is attending this ball, does that mean he will he here too? i quickly got changed into something more comfortable for dancing. i let andrea put my red blindfold on. the best part of this practice is that even if he is here , i won't have to look at him. i tried to contain my anger and let myself enjoy today's lesson as much as i can.

when the lesson ended it took a little while before they take off my blindfold. learning a dance with your eyes covered is impossible. i went outside where andrea is already waiting for me. i wanted to get out of here before gina sees me. i was not in the mood for her right now.

'davina! davina!'

i stopped at my tracks , turning around to face gina walking in my direction. i hate my life right now. andrea quickly approached me, talking in a low voice,

'let me guess..'

'gina.' we both said, looking at each other.

'hi.. wow.. you walk fast.' she seemed out of breath.

'yeah, sorry, i forgot that you said you would wait for me outside,' i lied, letting my teeth bite the inside of my mouth.
