Lucian couldn't believe that Nina was going to go through with it. He had teased her all year long about being shy whenever she had to answer a question in class. Now, she was up on the stage in front of the whole school, playing the part of the dragon tamer.

At first, he wanted to tease her while she was on stage, but then he saw how good she was at her part. At the end of the play, everyone cheered for her, and Lucian did, too. He wanted to apologize, but he didn't know how to do it. He decided to congratulate her instead.

"You did a great job," he said, but Nina didn't pay him much attention. She was surrounded by other people telling her how great she did, too. He guessed he deserved that.
