Derick's response genuinely surprised and shocked me. He had always treated me like a younger sister. Even though he would occasionally joke around, he never crossed any line. Today's joke seemed a bit too much.

Xander also looked at me with surprise, his eyes scrutinizing me. Derick walked up to me. He ignored Xander and said, "Let's go inside."

He glanced at me and said, "I'm usually very accurate in judging people. I won't be wrong about this. Stay away from him in the future." "Okay," I responded with a smile.

"I'm serious. Don't treat it as a joke," Derick emphasized.

I nodded seriously and said, "I'm serious too. I'm not interested in that type of person."
