Chapter 16: The Answer
It took Emma and Tancred a few seconds to realize that they were now "alone". They stared at each other for the next few seconds.
"So…" started Tancred "Have your teachers been giving you any extra work to do before the dance?" {He means any artwork to be put up.}
"Some…"
"Oh…"
Olivia, Alicia, and Lysander had been eavesdropping in the next room but Olivia was getting impatient.
"Tancred" she hissed loudly "would you hurry up and ask her already?!" Fortunately she said it loud enough for Emma to hear her too.
"Ask me what?"
"Umm… Emma… would you like to go to the dance… with me?"
Emma beamed "Of course!"
"Yes!" screeched Olivia. Lysander gave Tancred a thumbs up and Alicia just sat there with a satisfied smile.
Olivia and Lysander left soon after that while Emma stayed to talk with Tancred for the next four hours…
Mrs. Torsson told Emma she could stay for dinner, but she said she had to get home.
So Tancred walked her home.
When he got back Alicia was just getting off the telephone. "Great! I'll see you there!"
"Who was that?"
"No one important."
"C'mon, who was it?"
"Let's just say you're not the only one with a date to the dance."
Personally that is my favorite chapter so far! Who do you think Alicia's date is? I wanted to rule out Lysander from the guesses because he just got back together with Lauren. Read and Review Please!
