After classes, Joseph approached Erin in the hallway.
"Hey" she greeted.
"Hi! How's school today? There must be a lot of work in your class." he guessed.
"Yeah, you bet." she answered.
"I keep getting more followers since you posted the video. You're really quite popular on social media, huh?" he told her.
She smiled. "I don't know. It just happened, but let me clarify it. My purpose is to inspire not to get attention. Some people misunderstand it."
"Count me out, coz I'm definitely inspired." he replied.
She chuckled.
"By the way, can I invite you again on Saturday? It's my dad's birthday." he asked.
She was surprised. "Oh, me?"
"Yeah, I told my folks about the video. They want to meet you." he reasoned.
She was hesitant to go because they were just starting out as friends. She was not ready to go to their house and meet his parents, but she also didn't want to reject his kind invitation. "Um... okay"
He smiled gladly.

The next day, Erin joined her friends in the cafeteria. She told them about Joseph's invitation.
"Whoa! I'm really impressed by that guy." Lily reacted. "Well, you can be a cute couple if you ask me." she commented.
Erin showed her an indecisive reaction.
"Why? Don't you like him?" Lily asked.
She thought of Joseph for a moment. "I don't feel anything special when I'm with him."
"Well, you're just starting out. Wait until he does the final move. Most girls can't resist it." Lily said.
"What final move are you talking about?" she asked in a confused tone.
"You'll know it when you get there." Lily smirked at her.
Erin turned to her other friend. "Anna, what's that final move she's telling me?"
"It's what a guy does to get you at a time you don't expect it, and you have no choice but to give in." she explained.
Erin narrowed her eyes. "Like how?"
"Can't tell ya. A moment like that must not be spoiled." she answered.
"You guys are making me nervous." Erin said in a bothered tone.
