"Bonjour!" Claudette's ear piercing voice could be heard as she made her way to where Lyle was standing with a glass of red wine in his hand. His parents were off conversing with the other guests. "Hello Claudette." he said and smiled politely at her. "Prince Lyle, why are you all by yourself?" she asked and wrapped her arms around his arm, resting her head on his shoulder. Lyle sighed. "I was just observing is all." he answered and sipped his wine. "You look lovely as always." he told her. He hated her, but he had to be nice.
Claudette blushed and smiled up at him. "You really like it?" she asked. "I do, it suits you nicely." he answered quietly. Seeing as how the dancing was starting, Claudette practically pulled Lyle out to dance with her. Lyle quickly set his glass of wine down on a silver tray of a passing butler and looked at Claudette. "Claudette I...I'd rather not." he said quietly but she narrowed her eyes and forced him to dance with her since some people had stopped to watch.
As much as he didn't want to, Lyle had to pretend to enjoy himself as he and Claudette danced effortlessly. He had to admit that she was a good dancer. That didn't change the fact that he'd rather be dancing with someone else or even better, read a book with someone. His parents looked surprised to see him dancing with Claudette but they were happy that he seemed to be enjoying himself. After a while, Lyle couldn't do this anymore and stopped dancing. "I'm sorry Claudette but I can't dance with you." he said. Claudette looked at him confused. "Why not? I haven't messed up once!" she said. "It's not your dancing Claudette. Trust me, you are a good dancer, but I just don't dance with someone I'm not fond of. I care about someone, and you're not her, I'm sorry but it isn't fair to anyone that I continue to pretend to like you when I clearly don't."

And I thought saltine crackers were salty.
