'why am I getting goosebumps' Jennifer thought.

Ethan was still waiting for her to speak.

Taking a deep breath, Jennifer Open her mouth..

"Annabelle......
________

Jennifer swallowed as she let out a deep breath. "Annabelle is a good dancer" she finally said.

Ethan frowned hearing this. That was the least he had expected. "She is?" He asked, amusement lacing his tone.

Annabelle on the other hand face was calm. Part of her was a bit scared of Ethan getting to know who she really is and that was quite unusual.

"You didn't tell me you can dance. Can you show me?" Ethan said to Annabelle.

Jennifer overheard Annabelle and Roman conversation that's why she said dance instead.

"You'll know when the time comes" Annabelle said.

"Why can't I know it now?"

"Because it's not time yet"

"But..."

Annabelle shot him a glare and he went mute. Jennifer who was watching face dropped. When did they become this close?

"I have to go" Jennifer informed.

"I'll see you around" Ethan said.

'He prefer to be around Annabelle than me?' she thought to herself before leaving.

"So since you can dance, you're coming to the school party right?" Ethan asked. He had been meaning to ask her.

"What party?" She asked.

"Student party, we do it every term...

"I'm not going" she cut in.

"You didn't even let me finish" Ethan rolled his eyes.

"Okay.. by the way. Do you have a date for the party?" She asked.

"No, not yet" she muttered.

"You should ask Ethan, there are a lot of girls dying to ask him out but he keeps staying around Annabelle. Well I like her though" Selene said.

"You don't know anything about her" Jennifer snapped at all of a sudden.

Selene turn confused "What's with the glare. I said nothing wrong"

Jennifer sighed. "Nevermind"

"Okay class, this assignment will be done in pair. You'll work hard with your partner and submit on Thursday unfailingly. I want it brief and we'll detailed" The teacher said to the class. Her face was strict.

"Thursday? But the school party is on Friday, we'll be busy preparing for it. Can't we submit it next week?" Patricia asked and some other students nodded in agreement.

"Good, you can submit next week...

Their face lit up.

".. and fail the course" the teacher added and their face dropped.

'Bitch!' Patricia cursed inwardly.

"Remember to follow every guidelines and proofread before submitting.. here we go..."
