They pulled out of the school parking lot, and Cain put his hand on Shayna’s knee, hoping he could impel her, even if only the tiniest bit.

“So I have been hearing people talking a lot about a Winter Formal next Friday.”

Shayna laughed at the thought of going to the formal, “No way!” she said.

Damn, it didn’t work, Cain thought. “Why?” he asked, pouting his lip out a little.

Shayna hated the thought of everyone getting all dolled-up, as fake as possible, and grinding up against each other all night long. Then going off to do, God knows what, at some fancy hotel afterwards.

“Seriously, it’s their foreplay,” she said, talking about the other students at the Academy. “And it’s my senior year, I have never been to a formal or a prom, and I don’t really plan to.”

Cain laughed at her, “Well, I’ve never been to a formal or a prom either, but I’ve never thought about them as foreplay,” he said, still laughing. “How ‘bout we do something else than? Just you and I.”

“I think I would like that better,” Shayna said, touching his hand that was on her knee, and gently tracing his fingers with hers. She was starting to get used to his coldness.

Cain dropped Shayna off and left to tend to his horses. He had hoped to meet Sarah since he had missed her when he dropped Shayna off after their ride. She had gotten called into work and wasn’t home.

Shayna had not even made it in the door when her favorite El Camino pulled up to her house.

Noah climbed out of the car and strutted up to the stoop. “Hey Shay. What do you say? What’s new today?” he said, bounding up the steps and plopping down onto the porch swing.

“You’re such a dork,” Shayna said. She sat down next to him, leaned her head on his shoulder, and sighed.

“You got it that bad, huh?” Noah asked.

He had never seen Shayna this way. It was like she was walking around in a daze, but she seemed more full of life than ever. Noah was worried for his friend; she barely knew this new kid.

“Mmmhmm.” She did have it bad. So bad, it’s good, she thought. “I wish you could get to know him.”

“Why can’t I?” Noah asked.

“Huh?” Shayna said, a little confused. She lifted her head off of Noah’s shoulder. What did I say? she asked herself.

“You said you wished I could get to know him,” Noah told her. “Why can’t I?”

Shayna racked her brain for something to say. She hadn’t even meant to say it out loud. “I meant; I can’t wait for you to get to know him,” she said, trying to convincingly shrug it off.

Noah looked at Shayna suspiciously. He sensed there was something she wasn’t telling him, and if he knew Shayna, he knew that she would never tell. He would have to wait for her to slip, like she just had, so he could put the pieces together.

“I can’t wait either,” he finally said.
