On Friday, Ben met me at my locker again and danced his way down the hall to see me.

“Cute,” I said. “Trying to impress all the single ladies?”

“Nope. Just you.”

“Color me impressed.”

He reached into his back pocket and pulled something out, using one hand to shield it like a magician drawing cards. “This is what should impress you.”

He held out two tickets.

Silently I groaned as soon as I saw what they were. “That’s supposed to impress me? Paper?”

“Not just any paper but two magical tickets to a fantasy land called the Hollow Ball.” He dangled them in front of me. “There are only two weeks left. These babies are a hot commodity.”

“So why are you showing them to me?”

“Because I’m asking you if you want to go.”

“Ben …”

“Abbey …”

“I don’t know.” I groaned out loud this time.

He brandished the tickets again. “Come on. May I please have the honor of your company at the Hollow Ball? Or something like that. I showed you all of my best dance moves.”

“Why me?”

“Because when I heard Beth talking about who she was taking at lunch the other day, and didn’t hear you talking about who you were taking, I knew who I wanted to spend the evening with.”

“A friendly evening?” I said.

“I can’t promise that once you see me in my studmuffin tux you won’t want to rip the clothes right off my body. But if that happens, I’m sure we can find a nice, quiet place.”

“I’m sure I’ll have a hard time controlling myself,” I said dryly.

His face perked up. “Is that a yes? What time should I pick you up?”

“That’s an I-don’t-know. Let me think about it.”

He opened up the front page of the Spanish book I was holding and stuck the tickets inside. “Here. Now you can make your choice. And if you choose not to go with me, you can take someone else. I’ll understand.”

My mouth dropped open and I shook my head at him. “Ben. Why are you such a nice guy?”

He turned to dance back down the hall. “It’s just my nature.”
