"Would love to collab."
"Come again?"
"That's the fifth time I said it, Len."
"He has been absent for a whole week. It does make me curious, alright," she said.
It was ten at night and I was having a group video call with Darcy and Lenna. After I saw the notification from Den, which was a comment that said, 'Would love to Collab', I texted that in the group and the news about granny as well.
"I'm on our channel's page, and I see his comment. And I know that's so not for us," Darcy stated.
"Who else is it for then, Darcy? The walls at the back?" Lenna rolled her eyes.
"No, silly. By us, I meant, you and me. His comment is unquestionably for Evie. We know he is already smitten with her singing, which is natural because he is a singer himself. If you didn't notice, he's the lead vocalist of his band too, just like Evie."
"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on there, Darcy! You cannot just assume things. That is our channel and every comment posted there is for us three. For our band, not just for one of us."
"We know that, Evie. And we know he likes our band like we do his'. But you're not getting the point," she sighed. "What you think of him as a person is probably what he thinks of you. You both have things in common, so naturally, he'll be drawn more towards you."
I was surprised to hear Darcy practically teaching me about topics such as 'boys and decoding their comments'. That is such a rare sight of her to witness and is amusing at the same time.
"But I still don't get it. Why are we discussing so much about Den? I mean, fine. He seems to be a regular commenter and someone who shares a passion for music like us. But he's still a stranger in the end," I concluded with a shrug.
"That's because there's something special in him. Else, why would Darcy give you a lecture on love? When you were with Keaton, all she would do was curse him; pretty badass words." Lenna shook her head, making me laugh at her expression.
"Correction, Len. It's not a love talk. It's a logical one and common sense. If you peeps don't see it, not my fault."
"Evander should know this side of you. Just in case you never noticed, he's got a bit of a crush on you," I teased her.
"Your brother is under the pathetic impression of me being an anime character. The only reason he goes all gentleman-like on me. He is not aware that I'm the female twenty-first century Darcy. Nor am I his fantasy anime crush, Mimi Chan. Kindly put some sense into his brain, because my way is so not kind."
Lenna and I laughed at our bossy best friend, making her join us instantly.
"I'm sad you won't be there at the beach party," Lenna pouted. "But your granny's health is more important than that. So you should care less about the party and focus on you your family. Besides, your granny is a gem of a person. Please send my good wishes and hugs to her."
