Diego Herrera
"Aw, c’mon, don’t be shy. Just one dance, okay?"
Listen to me, I want to tell you that I love you
Having you here, having you at my side
Because you are the owner
The owner of my heart
-Ámame, Quiéreme by Selena y Los Dinos
Diego had gone around all week, contemplating who he would take as his plus one to his cousin's Quince. His first thought had been Isaiah, but he already had a planned date with his little crush on the day of. Then it was Sejin, but she wasn’t feeling too hot as of late. And, of course, Bennett was a dead end.
Then, the day just before the party, Diego and Isaiah had been hanging out at their dorm. Diego had been grumbling on and on about his so-called problem. Munching on a pack of cookies, Isaiah turned and asked a single three-word question.
"What about you?"
Those three words made Diego stop for a second, his mind going blank. Of course. Had he gotten his memories wiped? Why hadn’t he thought of that? After a quick call, Diego’s problem was solved! Now he has a date to the party.
