I wake up lately and after I put my clothes on I go to Rose. She is in her kitchen and hands me a cup of tea. Rose never drinks coffee. Me neither. We have never liked its bitter taste. "Tell me more about this guy yesterday" she says while she drinks her tea. "His name is Victor and he's from France." I tell her and she looks excited. "Oh my god! How does he kiss?" - "I didn't kiss him, Rose!" - "Why not?" she asks. "I don't know... I would have liked to kiss him but we were too shy, I guess."
After we drank our tea I call my parents. "When do you come home?" my mother asks. "I'll come now but Rose will be with me." - "Okay. But I want you to help Julia with her homework." I sigh. "Please not, mum!" I beg. But she has already hung up so I sigh again.
"What's wrong?" Rose looks confused. "I always have to help my brother and my sister with their homework! That's so nerve-racking!" - "I know what you mean" Rose answers but I know she does not. She is an only child and she has never had to help anyone with his or her homework. Furthermore she is not really good at any subject. "Let's go to your house. Maybe I can help Julia, too."
We go to my parents' house and my sister opens the door. "Hey Diana, hey Rose" she smiles.
Julia really likes Rose and she is happy because Rose helps her with her homework. Although Rose does not understand what she should do. "Is anything better than helping younger sisters with their homework on a Sunday morning?" I ask ironically and Rose shakes her head. "I don't think so" she laughs.
"I don't want to go to school tomorrow..." I groan. "I want to go back to Victor!" - "Do you have his address or phone number?" - "No I forgot about that. I didn't ask him." I admit. "But I am sure you'll see him again next weekend!" Rose says and I hope so.

The rest of the day we spend talking about Victor and the guy Rose met. Because of Victor I forgot to ask Rose about the guy she danced with.
Okay, to be honest I did not even know that she danced with a guy. His name was Zayn and he is from Bradford. He has been living in Doncaster for 3 years to study medicine and he lives at his friend's house near our school.
