wanted to yell but my mouth was still clamped shut.
    “Enough!” Master Longwei’s voice filled the cafeteria.
    At that moment the spell over my lips disappeared.
    He took all four of us to his office and gave us the biggest scolding of our lives.
    Blake was never going to yield and even though George did speak to me that day, telling me that I could never, ever do that again, it didn’t change the way I felt about everything.
    He didn’t tell me anything about what the bond was. Master Longwei was right about how a dragon that was part of a Dent would never reveal what the bond really consisted of, and I couldn’t stop thinking that George had no idea what caused his affection toward Becky at all.
    I wished that I could say that it was the breaking point and that Blake changed after that, but he didn’t.
    He ignored me for so many weeks that buying the stupid bike was all I could think of.
    It was where I’d been the day of the entire cafeteria incident.
    Monique had given me Andy’s number and I went to see him. There was the most beautiful black number that he said Blake used to have his eye on, but that it had been on the floor for a long time, as it was a bit pricy and nobody could really afford it. I told him to wait till I was certain, and yesterday I’d made the call and bought the damn thing.

    THIS AFTERNOON ANDY would deliver the bike. My stomach was in knots. Monique was sure that it would work but now that I’d actually bought the damn thing and I knew it was on its way, I was nervous as hell.
    He said that he would drop it off after school, a delivery straight from the bike shop to the Academy with a beautiful bow and a card with Blake’s name on it.
    The entire ordeal sounded so stupid now.
    “Okay, out with it,” Becky said. We were having lunch and I’d hardly touched my food.
    “It’s nothing.” I stood up. “I need to make a call.”
    I had to cancel this order before Andy brought the stupid bike here. What had I been thinking? I should have noticed the way Jimmy had reacted, he knew Blake better than Monique. He used to play at Longbottoms so many times, and the way Jimmy laughed that day should’ve told me that…
    “Elena.” Blake’s voice interrupted my thoughts, and I closed my eyes as a bike key dangled from his fingers. “What is this?”
    “What do you think it is?”
    He chuckled as he walked closer and stroked his face hard.
    Okay, so maybe Monique hadn’t been wrong.
    He looked at me again with a small curve around his mouth. “You think you can buy my affection?”
    Shit. “You’re not giving me any options here, Blake.”
    “I don’t want to be your dragon, or anybody’s dragon. Why can’t you get that?” he roared again.
    “We have no choice. We still have to fulfill our destiny Blake. We have to free the people of Etan.” I didn’t know why I’d just said that. I wasn’t going to but I had to say something to make him try.
    “They can rot in Etan for all I care,” he spat in my face and turned around right after he threw the key back at me. “My affection can’t be bought.”
    I picked up the key and plenty of eyes were just staring at me, my friends included.
    George got up. “Okay, what did you buy him?”
    “It doesn’t matter. It was stupid, I know.”
    George smiled. “If it’s what I think it is, Elena, that wasn’t easy for him at all.”
    “Yeah, well, it didn’t work.”
    “Elena.” Master Longwei’s voice came from down the hall. He had a slight grin on his face.
    Oh man, how many people heard about this.
    “You need to get that distraction back to Andy’s shop or ask someone to come and fetch it. My courtyard is filled with students and a couple of the professors.”
    George smiled and rushed to the courtyard.
    “A bike?” Master Longwei had a raised eyebrow.
    “I didn’t know what else to do.”
    “You must be patient Elena and not bestow gifts on him that he doesn’t deserve.”
    “Yeah, he made that pretty clear about
