In this chapter, Josie goes to the first school regional dance and made every deal with God so that John Barton would ask her for the first dance. "... I saw him standing with Poison Ivy, I wanted to tear my hair out with rage..."
Before she had a chance to even ask John to dance, Jacob Coote and his tall, well-built friend, Anton stood in front of her and Anna. "'Would you like to dance?' the tall guy asked Anna"
Jacob and Josie danced the night away with seven amazing dances.
"Anna grabbed my arm, shaking it hysterically. 'I'm in love' she said through her teeth..." through just one dance, Anna started loving Anton, so after Josie and Jacob's seven dances, it seemed as she was developing a crush.
