Blair doesn’t have a date to the ball. And since Ryker and I are still keeping a low profile so to speak, I tell her that I will go with her. She says it’s okay, that she can go alone, but I insist.
What kind of friend would I be if I didn’t?
When we arrive to our destination, namely the school, we are surprised to see that it is rather well decorated considering the juniors only had three hours to make the gym less austere and more ball-friendly.
Students stare at us, mostly at Blair, I think, because she is stunning and the blue dress she is wearing compliments her skin tone.
I am nowhere near happy to be here but I force a smile on my face nonetheless. I am not in my element. I am more like a fish out of the water at the moment.
But it seems like nobody feels my distress.
Soon e
