Since its almost 2 pm when I finished eating, I just watched Netflix all day and ate instant ramen for dinner. Before going to bed, I sent a message to Silas.

bb whats up
He’s not online yet so I just scrolled through my phone. It’s almost midnight but he still hasn’t replied so I just forced myself to sleep. I woke up when I heard the door open.
"Oops sorry... did I wake you up?" Leina whispered while tip toeing towards her bed.
I shook my head and go back to sleeping. It’s been a minute since I closed my eyes, but I can't find myself to sleep. I looked for my cellphone under my pillow to check the time, but I saw an unopened message in i********:.

Sky.
I laughed loudly and Leina looked at me. I move my hand to form a gesture saying its nothing, so she turned her back at me and sleep. The message was sent 2 hours ago and its already 4 am so he’s probably asleep now. I didn’t reply. And what would I tell him? What’s the right answer to his ‘sky’? I continued sleeping and woke up at my 7am alarm.
I cooked vegetable omelet and tofu with seasoned soy sauce for breakfast. We were talking animatedly that we failed to notice the time. We are late! We hastily took a bath and change. But even with all the haste, we were still late. We were running towards the dance studio assigned to us when Kesha's assistant appeared and told us that we are needed in the dance studio where Axis is at.
A wide smile automatically appeared on my face because I'll see Silas again. When Raqi opened the door, Axis and Silas were already taking a break, that’s how late we are. Silas and Nathan are talking about something, so he hasn’t notice me yet. As always, he's wearing sky-blue sweatshirt and white sweatpants.
"Raqi, can you come here for a second? I need to talk to you about something,” one of Axis' dance instructors called Raqi who immediately obliged. We were sitting on the side when Raqi returned. She pulled my hair and placed her face near mine.
"Ouch! Is there really a need to hit me?"
"You b***h. You should treat me to a nice meal for this," Raqi smilingly told me.
"What is it?" I creased my forehead.
"There's a scene in the musical drama where the lead stars dance to rumba. And who are those lead stars......?" she told me with suspense in her voice.
"Silas and Suzy," Sassy answered for me.
"The thing is Suzy's not feeling well so she bailed today's practice. The dance instructor I was talking to earlier? He asks me to partner with Silas so he can still practice,” I stared shock at Raqi after she talk.
"You b***h! How dare you! Home wrecker!" I pulled her hair out of jealousy.
"Stupid! Can you please let me finish?” she looked at me with her murderous eyes.
"Fine, explain to me how much of a traitor you are," I answered while pouting.
"I told the dance instructor that my shoulder still hurts because of practice, so I suggested that you partner with him instead!" we all squealed then I hugged Raqi so tight.
"Thank you, Mary Raquelle! You’ll be our Maid of Honor when we marry and you’ll also be a godmother of our first-born child, promise!” I smilingly told her while hugging her tight.
"Silas and Erina, please come to the center please," the dance instructor announced. I stand up immediately and walk towards where Silas is.
"Hi...." I smiled widely while staring at him. He didn't say anything but instead, he arched his brow. I just laugh because I’m now used to him like this. When he became talkative, the world will surely end, kidding!
"Silas, put your hands in Erina's waist," the instructor ordered. Since we're dancing rumba, which is a slow and sensual dance, we need to be intimate with each other. I’m such a lucky girl.
"Hey, hold my waist. You’re so good looking but you’re such a deaf,” I tried to tease him but of course, still no reaction. He was just standing there like a rock. I pulled his hands and put them on my waist. Tss, so snob.
The instructor ordered us to do a box step which is easy. His left hand is holding my right hand with our elbows almost touching. His other hand is placed underneath my shoulder blade while my left hand is placed right behind his shoulder, flat on his back.
Because of the proximity, I can smell his manly scent. He smells clean, not the overly suffocating perfume scent which most guys use.
"Missed me?" I smilingly teased him.
"Focus," he answered while looking me intently at the eye.
"Why? Am I distracting you?" I said with my lusty voice. And here goes his creased forehead.
"Do a two quick side-step then a slow backward and forward step," the instructor continued.
"Why are you not answering?" I continuously teased him while following the instructor’s commands.
"Can we please stay focus and talk lat---"
"O-ouch!" I fell while clutching my left ankle. I felt tears streaming down my face while a stab of immeasurable pain ate my system. The f**k, I feel like my foot’s killing me.
"s**t!" I heard him say as people rush towards us. When Silas stepped forward, he accidentally hit my already injured left ankle. Of course, it’s not his intention to hurt me, and I know that but that did not stop me from feeling all this pain.
I felt my body floating in the air when someone carried me bridal style. I looked up and saw a very worried Silas.
"I'm sorry.... I’m sorry......." he was mumbling words while running towards the building's emergency exit. I can’t keep up with what he’s saying because the pain is taking over my system. I think I even passed out when we entered the hospital.
I woke up in a white room laying in a white bed. The smell tells me that I’m in the hospital and Kesha is beside me. They look very worried ang Sassy is about to cry when I woke up.
"I really want to hit you right now but a very worried person is outside that door, so we’d let you talk first,” Kesha said which made me curious.
After the girls go out the door, I saw Silas enter.
"Hey....." he said with his small voice. He’s so confused and sullen that I had to pat the chair next to me telling him to sit down.
"How are you feeling?" His deep voice is so good to the ears that I’m actually feeling much better.
"I'll be fine," I smilingly answered.
"What can I do to make it up to you?" the worry in his voice is very evident. He must feel really guilty about what happen even though it’s not really his fault.
"Hey, it’s not like you intentionally did it and my ankle's been injured several times. I'll be okay, promise," I told him with a sincere smile on my face.
"But still......I'll do anything. Do you want me to bring you food? or books you can read while you're here? Anything. Just say it," I can still hear the guilt in his voice. A light bulb suddenly appeared in my head. Anything?hmmmm..........
"Fine. I want you to do me a favor," I told him while trying to sit down.
"Anything." He sternly said as he helps me sit down.
I stared at his eyes and confidently uttered my favor.
"Date me."
