As much as Shane tried not to he found himself looking forward to the ball. For the first time since knowing Mr. Di Amato he looked forward to rubbing elbows and laughing at corny jokes all because of one person that will be attending: Satra Sinclair. He wasn’t going to bother bringing a date because the only person he wanted to bring on his arm was Satra. Now he can’t shake the nagging question of whether or not Satra will bring a date. The thought made him feel uneasy and jealous even though he knew he had no right to feel jealous. After all, he didn’t ask her to the ball, and she doesn’t know how he feels about her.

‘But what if she does bring a date? What if he’s tall, dark and handsome, and they look great together and she’s having a great time with him the entire night? They never leave each other’s side and make goo-goo eyes at each other. What will you do? ‘I’ll be pissed; that’s what!’ Shane thought angrily to himself. ‘Ok, if she brings a date I would try my best to remain on my best behavior. That’s all I can try to do, but I’m not making any promises. I better call my tailor. I’m about due for a new tux.’

Shane picked up his office phone and dialed his favorite tailor, Nunzio Farelli.

He made an appointment to come in after work. Granted he’s worn the same tux two years in a row and it’s still in wonderful condition, he wanted to look his absolute best at this ball. He wanted Satra to be as aware of him as he knew he would be painfully aware of her. As much as he tried he couldn’t tame the jealous lion inside of him when it came to her. What frustrated him even more is he was never the jealous type…until now.

“What is it about this woman that she has such power me?” He wondered to himself.

Shaking his head he picked up a file from his desk and tried to immerse himself in his work. As hard as he tried he couldn’t concentrate. He picked up his phone and called his best friend from high school, Derrick Bell. Derrick befriended Shane when no one else would. They nicknamed him Silver Spoon and Ricky Schroeder because of his rich family. Shane tried his best to keep his family a secret, but the minute he told Derrick that he went to Charlemagne High, Derrick knew his family had money. Only the filthy rich could afford to send their kids to that private school. But Derrick never held it against Shane nor did he ever ask him for money. Derrick wasn’t like that and he was too proud.

Shane used to sneak to the inner city to play basketball with the best of the best. He played basketball for Charlemagne High and was the star player, but he never felt the competition was challenging enough. The competition was average at best.
