My Sister's Secret

Dear DiaLog,

So it (‘it’ being the story of Terri and the mysterious ‘boyfriend’ boy) started yesterday when Terri ‘casually’ mentioned she might have started dating someone. Naturally I had some questions (which of course my sister failed to answer) so naturally I needed to find my own answers. How? Research…

I may be bad at maths, but research is definitely one of my strong points. Yes, I may have googled him and yes, there may have been a little bit of Facebook stalking. Ok, so there may have been a lot of Facebook stalking. Annnnddd there may have been interrogation. Nothing creepy.

Here’s what I found:

Source 1: Facebook

·      Name: Benjamin Preston

·      Brown hair

·      Blue eyes (Good start…)

·      Way too many friends (Popular?)

·      Works at a café

·      Psychology student (Smart?)

·      ‘Single’ (Pfffttt…. As if)

Source 2: Google

·      There are 25 professionals on LinkedIn called Benjamin Preston (Thanks Google…)

·      Seriously… nothing.

Source 3: Interrogation – The Siblings

For source three (also known as ‘The Interrogation’) I went directly to the siblings. Which went something like this:

“Abigail, have you noticed anything weird about Terri?”
“You mean the fact that she finally cares about how she looks? I saw her putting on eye makeup this morning.”
“I know, what’s with that?”
“Someone’s got a boyfriend…”
“You know?”
“Yep.”
“Tell me what you know!”

Which was pretty much nothing. Trust my perfect younger sister to know everything there IS to know without being told a single thing. Seriously – how annoyingly ‘good’ can you get???

What we DID deduce is that Mum and Dad know – and what’s more? Mum invited him over for dinner. There’s talk of an apple pie. Kill me now.

You might be wondering by now (or maybe you’re not…?) why I really care about my sister’s love life. Why is that interesting? You may or may not have realized, but I don’t exactly have one… but I’ll keep you posted. Literally.

This is Allie Fisher, insane sister and hopeless romantic freak, saying ‘seeya’…
