Dan walked past, waving at Dil on his way. Dil waved back, saying "Hello!" just as Talia had taught him. Dan gave a startled look, followed by a look of pride and happiness. It was amazing to see Dil even say just one word.

Dil was really enjoying Talia's company. He wondered why he'd never seen or heard people like her, not knowing that she was of Scottish origin. Her frizzy auburn curls reached her waist, and her green eyes could light up a city-she was mesmerising. Dil wondered to himself if there was anything wrong with finding himself attracted to Miss McGregor. There couldn't be, could there? She seemed like she was a lovely person!

Dan had left the doorway and continued walking by the time Dil ended his daydream, so he shot back up into place ready to continue learning. Talia smirked at his enthusiasm, before realising and turning into what could have been, if you paid enough attention, a fake smile.

An hour later, Dil's very intense tutoring ended, with him presenting Talia with a long hug and a very big smile. Talia loved Dil's enthusiasm, anyone could tell that, but there seemed to be something dodgy going on. Dil just couldn't put his finger on it.

"Bye Talia!" Dil waved to his new tutor, ecstatic about how well the lesson had went.

"C'mon in Dil, we need to get ready to go out."

"Out?"

"Yeah, out. We're going to IKEA to buy you some new furniture, and then maybe some other places for clothes. Is that okay?"

"Yes, that's okay!"

Dan smiled at how happy he was, and shouted upstairs to see if Phil was ready yet.

"Almost! Just trying to-argh!!"

"Phil?"

"Stupid...should have bought hair spray...."

"What is it? I have hair spray if you need it."

"Seriously? Thank god! I have a really bad fringe gap and-"

"Ahaha, is that what's taking you so long? I can't even tell!"

"Yeah, you can't but it'll bug me for ages when we're out."

"True."

"Let's go!" Dil enthused.
