My date with Dillard was great. We got something to eat and went to a local theater. They were performing a play called, "Leave Me in Peace." It wasn't very interesting to me, but Dillard seemed to be really into it. His cousin was the star of the play. I met him after the show. He is almost as fine as Dillard. Dillard's cousin, Harven, acted like he was a big time celebrity or something. It was so funny watching Harven walk around with his chest stuck out, waving at people. Dillard shook his head.

We went to the after party with the cast. It was at Hardens, a local piano bar. The producer of the show rented it out for the night. It was cool. The band director for the play sat down at the piano and played for us. Dillard and I danced for awhile. Harven interrupted us and asked if he could dance with me. Dillard said it was okay. I didn't want to dance with that pompous idiot.

I danced for like a minute or two before I started looking at Dillard to rescue me. It took him forever to get the hint. Finally, Dillard came and rescued me. I was mad at him, but he gave me this smile and I just melted. We hung out at Hardens until after 11:00 PM.

He drove me back to my dorm. We sat in the car for awhile and talked. He asked me what I was doing for Spring Break. I told him that I didn't know yet. He said that he and some of his friends were going to Victoria Island. I think I have changed my mind about Precious Island.

He kissed me before he walked me to the front door. I wanted to faint.

I told Keren every single detail of the date. She went to sleep while I was talking.

I have a date with Dillard on Friday. I am so excited. I have picked out like ten different outfits. Keren is still mad at EBB, but she is trying to be supportive. I think I am getting on her nerves talking about Dillard.

Classes are going good. I am getting excited about Spring Break. It's a month away. I think we are going to try to go to Victoria Island. I don't know yet. I kinda wanna go to Precious Mountain. There is still time to decide.

The sweetheart dance was great. Dilliard was great. I was great. Everything was great.

Dilliard picked me up. He had flowers, candy, and a stuffed dolphin. I love dolphins. I was grinning from ear to ear when he gave me my stuff.

When we got to the dance, Keren met me outside. I could tell that she was heated. Smoke was coming out of her ears and nose. She grunted and told me that EBB (her boyfriend) hadn't gotten her a gift. (I told EBB earlier that week that I could get my mother to make something so that he could give it to Keren, but he said no. He is on a money saving kick these days.) I told Keren she could go home, but she didn't want to leave me. That's my girl. She always has my back like that.

I danced every dance with Dilliard. It was so cool. He danced so cute. I wanted to laugh, but I didn't. EBB tried to cut in on one song, but Dilliard told him no. EBB probably wanted me to talk to Keren for him. I wasn't going to do it anyway.

Dilliard didn't even try to grab my behind on the slow dances. I wouldn't have minded if he had. (Ok, I know, I'm fast.) He spent me around on one slow dance. It was so corny, but I liked it.

We went and got something to eat. Keren and EBB went with us. Keren ate, but EBB didn't because he didn't have any money. I looked at Keren, thinking that she wasn't going to leave her boy hanging like that, but she did. She didn't even flinch. EBB actually looked hurt. Dilliard asked me if he should get EBB something to eat. I told him naw. Keren would have cut Dilliard.

Dilliard took me home after a dismal dining experience because Keren was oozing venom and EBB looked like a wounded bird.

I was hoping that Dilliard would kiss me. I was tempted to lean in and kiss him, but Keren had told me not to earlier. "He will think you are desperate. Just chill." She thought she was my mother.

Dilliard kissed me on the cheek after we got to my porch. I guess that will have to do.

I'm in love!!!!!!!!

I caught up with Keren, finally. I can't prove it, but I think she was trying to avoid me. I didn't even get a chance to curse her out for telling Dillard that I wanted to go to the dance. She smiled and said, "You don't have to thank me. I got you back girl. You know it."

I just shook my head because Keren wasn't going to let me curse her out. She is my girl, though.

Don't worry, I am gonna get her back.

We are having a Valentine Sweetheart Dance (VSD) at the school. I told Keren that I wanted to go. She is going with her boyfriend, EBB. She laughed at me and then said, "Why don't you ask ole boy from your class to go with you?" I looked at her like she was crazy.

Well, on last week, Dilliard walked up to me after class and said, "I heard you wanted to go the dance with me." I stared at him. I couldn't say anything. He said, "Well, do you wanna go with me or not?" I managed to give him a yes. He smiled and handed me a piece of paper with his number on it. He said, "Call me." He walked off.

I am gonna kill Keren!
