“That’s what I thought.” He said smugly.

Macy flinched at his tone. “Okay, whatever. But promise me, you’ll let me go after.”

“I don’t like promises.”

“Shane…that’s not fair. Be fair, I am standing here still, aren’t I?”

“You are. Now I need you to go tell that guy that you have to go. Uh, its that jerk from the day outside. I remember him. I’ll tell him myself.”

“Shane, I’ll do it.”

“Nope.” Shane said, crossing his arms.

“Please Shane.”

“Are you willing to beg?”

“Are you willing to be an ass?” He didn’t have answer to that one. Macy smiled and started to walk away, but Shane grabbed her arm. “Let go, I’ll talk to him.” She pulled free and went back to the table.

“Hey.” Derrick greeted her.

She couldn’t work up a smile, “Shane is here and so…um I’m going.”

“Wait, are you telling me that you’re leaving with the guy that hurts you everyday?”

“No.”

“Sure sounds like that.”

“Well I’ll explain later. Please come Thursday. We’ll go to the meadow.” Macy pleaded.
