Diane's pov

I was at the mall with my boyfriend's sister, Valeria. Valeria somehow was instantly attached to me when we first met- she already knew about me from Travis and she saw me for the first time in the hospital from the Winter Festival. She recently moved to Mexico during the summer to go to law school wanting to be a lawyer. She has an Instagram account for her modelling-which also has millions of followers. A day ago she flew here to visit her brother and friends and catch up. Today, we met at the mall and had a good conversation, I just told her that Travis asked me out, and she says aloud,

"ARE YOU SERIOUS?! OHMYGOSH I'M GONNA CRY DIANE(つ﹏⊂)! I DONT KNOW HOW I FEEL AT THE MOMENT-" 

"It's just a night out! Geez!" I close my ears. 

 "(⋟﹏⋞)NO ITS NOT-" she stopped mid-sentence, noticing the expression on my face(¬_¬). 

"Well this is an opportunity for you two to know each other better! When is it（；^ω^）?" she speaks lower.

 "This Saturday" I answer

 "Mm, we don't have much time! Have you figured out what you're going to wear?"  she asks excitedly. To be honest, Valeria is like the sister I never had, until now.

"Uh, maybe a nice top and matching pants-"

 "Woah woah woah... did you just say pants? Who wears pants to a date?!" she raises a brow.

 "Me" I say non emotionally.

"Diane," Val sighs, landing a gentle hand on my shoulder, "...Not to spoil anything but just saying he's taking you to a place that's....like really really really nice"

 "What?"

 "You're having a date a a place where like, rich people dine at?" she questions.

 "They got fries right?" I ask in hope.

"No." 

"Valeria, I'm not going to survive like this(_　_|||)!"  I whine. What kind of place DOESN'T have fries!?!?

 "Oh of course you are!!! I'm the one with the tips, and I can give you a few lessons" she says cheerfully

"Okay great. What I have to do? Sit in a pink dress and have books on my head?" I joke.

 "No. Sit straight. Arch your back in, it gives you a good posture, and it kinda brightens your....personality a bit?" 

"Like this?" I sit straight, though I was struggling to keep it up.

 "Yep"

 "Now you know how to eat proper right?"

 "Don't eat sloppy.period." 

"Well basically yes, now the thing you need to do is, some conversation starters maybe?" 

"I guess" I shrug. "And the weather doesn't count."  she adds in.

"Why? Everyone else uses it" I comment.

 "That's the point. Everyone uses it. You want something that is unique, like you" she smiles. "I don't think I can do this" 

"Get used to it. So just pretend I'm Travis, and you start a conversation ^_^" 

"Okay......I don't know('-ω-')." 

"Oh come on Diane. I know you can talk it and walk it. I am his sister so I know him, I mean don't I look like him a bit?"

 "Yeah both of you are tall" I smirk.

"Anyway, back to the lesson! I'll start... So what's it like, being the only child and everything?" she starts to imitate Travis' voice, a period of silence was between us before we both laughed. This is getting awkward "It's great, at least I can have time to myself"

 "Speak some more words?" "I don't know, that's all I got!"

 "Which planet is your favorite?" 

"I'm not sure which one! They're all like my favorite! I guess Jupiter because of its moons, storms, and clouds! Oh wait my ruling planet is Jupiter! No wonder!-" I stopped in the middle of my tracks, "I said too much didn't I? Ugh this is gonna be so awkward😓" I slam my head against the table, gently.

 "Diane you're fine. The reason he asked you was to know more about you. I mean I think he might be interested in your astrology stuff you like, he's been looking up the... some kind of thing? A Libra something" 

"His zodiac is a Libra. The scales, like representing balance" 

"Ohhhh the zodiac. I wonder what mine is." 

"When is your birthday?"

 "April 29." I think about the month and the signs and her date as I was counting my fingers,  "........YOURE TAURUS!!!!!" "I'm a what?" "You're a bull. Earth sign"

 "Oh wow I'm a bull yee haw" she sarcastically adds in. 

"Real funny Val◔_◔." I laugh

"Ahem, so what is your favorite food?" we get back to the original conversation we was in.

 "I'd say maybe... cauliflower" 

"ew"

 "It's delicious"

 "What's your ideal type of dress?"

 "No" 

"I dare you to wear a dress there" 

"Not happening!" 

"Just one time Diane? Well maybe when you're married but please? I know you'll look amazing in it!" "I'd rather wear a bed sheet than wearing a dress!" 

" PLEASSSSSSEEEE" she whines like a puppy.

"Fine- this one time!" 

"Don't forget the second time maybe or third!" she smiles laughing.

"If you try to shove marriage in my face one more time Val, it's just been a year."
