Rachel craned her neck and looked at the entrance. She saw that a group of people had already swarmed over.
She glanced at Sheril and Nora who had just finished dancing. A hint of arrogance and triumph flashed across her eyes. She neatened her dress, cast her eyes down, and said, "I'm going to go over and say hello to Ms. Turner."
Caden's eyes lit up. He said, "I'll—"
Before he could say the words "go with you", Rachel cut him off and said, "The people gathered around Tanya over there are all rich and famous young ladies. What are you going over there for? Just wait. Tanya will eventually have to come over to my house for classes. You'll see her then."
She turned and left immediately after saying that.
Rachel spoke imperiously and loudly, so everyone dancing nearby heard her, causing them to look at Caden in a half-amused manner.
Caden clenched his fists. He felt as if he had been given a few hard slaps across his cheeks.
