DIARY OF SILVIA DRAKE

But one comment in particular stood out, and I couldn't help but feel a twinge of annoyance because of who made it - Julie. Her comment read: 'Just date already.'



Just then, Derick messaged me again:



DERICK: 'By the way, you're a great dancer. Are you taking practice?'



SILVIA: 'No, I'm just my own teacher, and you're also a good dancer.'



DERICK: 'Thanks! I love the way you move your legs. I thought you didn't know how to tango, but I wish to dance with you again.'



SILVIA: 'Thanks a lot.'



DERICK: 'But Jenny is a bad dancer; don't tell her, or she'll kill me!'



SILVIA: 'Derick, stop it! She's your sister!'



DERICK: 'Yes, she is, but her bloodline...'



DERICK: "Yes, she is, but her bloodline of dancing has faded; she's a terrible dancer."



SILVIA: "Derick, stop it!"



DERICK: "Can I ask you for a favor?"



SILVIA: "Why not? Go on."



DERICK: "Can I have Anissa's number?"



SILVIA: "No, I don't have her number." (thinking) "Idiot."



Then, I gave him a terrible stare before sending him Anissa's number and dropping my phone. Messages kept coming in; I was angry and jealous. Eventually, I decided to check the messages, and they were all from Derick:



DERICK: "Thanks."

DERICK: "Why aren't you replying to me?"

DERICK: "Why are you angry? Tell me."

DERICK: "Please just reply to me."



SILVIA: "What! I've given you her number, so what more do you want from me?"



DERICK: "Wait, are you jealous?"
