Chapter 219: An Unexpected Offer, Part 2

"Is Abby going to the Fall Ball?" Isach asked.

I gasped with surprise at the sound of Isach's voice and spun around to face him. "Yes. She's going with Wyatt. Why?"

Isach leaned against Trent's locker - which Trent hadn't visited since the morning he broke up with me - and frowned. "I was going to ask her."

"Yeah, well, you're too late." I resumed searching for my Life Skills packet.

"Do you want to go with me?" he asked.

I straightened, eyes wide, and stared at him. "Did you seriously just ask me to go to the dance with you?" Either I was dreaming, or he'd lost his mind. It could very well be both.

He shrugged. "Why not? Imagine how jealous Trent will be." An evil twinkle sparkled in Isach's eyes.

"I don't want to make Trent jealous," I said.

Why did everything think that was my goal? I slammed my locker closed, abandoning the search for my homework.

"I want him to trust me, and showing up at the dance with you will defeat that purpose," I said.
