I stare down at my history exam paper and fidget anxiously in my seat. The clock ticks angrily.

Elke next to me has already filled a whole page, while I’ve barely scratched out four sentences. When she catches me watching she covers her work. Hopelessly, I look at my own paper again.

There’s a knock on the classroom door. It’s Lexie. ‘Miss? Kat’s brother’s here. Family emergency.’

‘Ethan?’ I say.

But it’s Christian who steps into the doorway.

As I step out of the classroom he hisses, ‘I’m busting you out.’

‘What?’ I ask, following him down the corridor.

‘I suddenly got the urge to do something fun. And I couldn’t think of a more worthy wingman.’

I stop in my tracks, feeling the smile fade from my face.

‘Okay, but aren’t you meant to be in pas de deux this morning?’

Christian refuses to let me spoil his buzz. ‘You’re right. Exams are depressing.’

‘You can’t listen to me. My life’s a mess. They could kick you out for ditching.’

‘Maybe they should.’

I shake my head. ‘Go back. I’m serious. I don’t want you on my conscience.’

I turn on my heel. I don’t look back but I can feel him watching me walk away.
