“Did you hear that Shana’s going to Winter Formal with Lucas?”
“Yeah, I heard that last period! What’s that all about?”
“I have no idea,” one girl said in the restroom. “Why would he ask her? I thought they weren’t together.”
“They said they aren’t together, but nobody believes that.”
I sighed as I sat in the bathroom stall, trying to drown out the sound of the girls gossiping about Lucas and me. It was as if the walls had ears, amplifying their words and intensifying my frustration.
Could they hurry up and finish their conversation already? I had a class to get to.
The fact that they were talking about Lucas and me was mind-boggling. After all, he had only asked me to Winter Formal yesterday.
Yet somehow, the entire school seemed to be aware of our plans.
