Chapter Nineteen: Start beating your chest like the gorilla in King Kong

Just look at how they're descending the stairs like they're the King and Queen of England, swallowing up all the attention. Who do they think they are?

According to you, the King and Queen of England. I don't see why you're so upset.

I'm not.

Really?

Ok, yes I am. It's only because I feel bad for the girl he's using.

Yeah, right. How are you sure it's not Skyler or Anastasia?

Skyler has blonde hair and Anastasia's own is black. This angel's own is brown.

Caramel brown like yours.

Yeah, but prettier. For some reason.

"Who are those?" Zahra asked.

I turned my eyes back to them. "Zane and some girl."

"How do you know it's Zane?"

Should I tell them I chose his tuxedo?

Of course not.

I shrugged my shoulders. "I just know."

"How?" Axel pried.

"Before I get interrogated, I'm going to get some punch." I started walking away.

"I'll go with you." Reveka called out. I waited a little for her to catch up with me.

"What's up? Why do you look like you want to come down on someone like a ton of bricks?"

"Cos I do."

"Is it that girl that Zane's with?"

My mouth flapped open and closed like a fish.

She touched my shoulder. "It's okay to be jealous."

I'm not jealous!!!

I scoffed. "Jealous? Me? Of her? As if."

Really?

"If you say so."

"Don't say that like you don't believe me."

"But I don't."

"But I'm actually not jealous."

"Okay. Okay."

I changed the topic. "You're actually pulling this off."

"You owe me one. In fact, you owe me one million."

"Can't you just do it out of your love for me?"

She snorted. "What love?"

"Haha. Hilarious, aren't you?"

She shrugged her shoulders. "I try my best."

We stopped at the refreshment table. 

Ellie really did try with the hall. It looked like a ballroom of a palace. Too bad she and Amara couldn't make it.

I was about to help myself to some snacks when I heard an unmistakable voice from behind me.

"I can tell your cherry colored hair from anywhere."

"It's red." I bit out.

"Huh?"

I turned to him and smiled. "Hi doofus."
