"I am sorry but um Jake Griffin already asked me. I'll save a dance for you!"

"I don't need your pity." Marcus quipped and the moment he did he and saw the look in her face, the hurt; he regretted it.

"It wasn't pity. It's not my fault he asked before you."

"If I had asked first would you have said yes?' Abby shrugged, looking down. He knew he didn't stand a chance against Jake. No guy did. And his eyes were set on the only girl Marcus wanted. 'Forget it. I don't have time for a stupid dance anyway."
