Did Ali still have feelings for Johnny? Did she secretly want to get back together with him.
That night at the country club when Mr. Mills asks, “Trouble with Johnny? You two love birds having problems?” She didn’t say they had broken up, she only said they weren’t love birds.
And when Johnny asked her for a truce she replied that she wasn’t at war. Not at war? Thats odd, this is the boy that has brutally beaten up your new boyfriend twice. You most certainly should be at war.
Finally, the dance. Why the dance? She knew Daniel was there somewhere, her father had just given her the time. She was 10 minutes late meeting Daniel. Yet she chose to dance.
Ali had something else on her mind, betrayal.
