Shane keeps silent because she’s not interested on what her friends are talking about. “How about you Shane? It seems you are not excited for the coming prom. I think Carlo will be excited to be your partner. He admired you since we are in 1st year, but you always ignore his presence.” Shane doesn’t want to disappoint her friends.
