"Hey Elli!" Carter's voice rang through the halls.

I turned, wide eyes. "Y-yeah?"

Not only did his eyes land on me, so did just about everyone else in the hallway. I gulped at all the attention. "Mind wearing something blue to the party tomorrow night?"

"Um..." I narrowed my eyes. "How many other girls did you say that to?"

He chuckled and held up his hands in defense. "Only you. I swear." I sighed.

"We'll see Carter. We'll see."

"Great! See ya then El." He walked off, his shoes squeaking as he turned away. Ignite whispers in... 3... 2... The silence was now gone and everyone decided to make my business, their business. I inwardly groaned. Joy. I thought.
