But if he thought the question was infuriating, Carlos’ next words were even worse.
“Since the girl has bailed you out, will you please dance for her after the class? You can only stop dancing when she laughs,” Carlos told
Jared. Debbie couldn’t stifle her Laughter.
‘At this rate, are we getting anywhere with our classwork?* she wondered.

As if it weren’t enough, Carlos continued, “Well, if you can’t dance for her, then you should seein my office after the class.”
