Bloodline Series Book 1: Switched- Olicity

Chapter 24- The Ball pt. 1

Thea's POV
Over the next two weeks I can feel the tension between Ollie and Felicity. I can also see that they are miserable without each other. It kills Ollie that he can see her, everyday, but he also can't be with her. He goes to physical therapy and she goes to work. I will catch they glancing at each other whenever they are in the same room, but then one of them will retreat to their room. This ball is going to be a disaster if they continue like this. I also know that Ollie has been planning some huge romantic moment to win her back. Every day when he goes to physical therapy I hear him tell himself he is doing this for her. So they can dance together at the ball.
"Felicity!"
"Yeah?"
"Are we going dress shopping or what?"
"Do we have to?"
"Yes! We both are attending the ball are we not?"
"Well..."
"You're going."
"Thea... It will be so awkward."
"Only if you make it that way." I drag her out the door and to the car.
"Who are you bringing anyway?"
"Roy..." I can feel my cheeks flush intensely. Over the past couple months Roy and I have become close, very close. And now I have even developed a minor crush on him. We are only eighteen though, so there's no rush.
"Ooo... You and Roy?"
"We're just friends."
"Sure..." We make it to the mall and go from store to store. I finally force her to try on a couple dresses. The first one is an emerald green, with crystals covering the v neck and the waist. She walks out and she looks gorgeous.
"Wow... It's beautiful and green is Ollie's favorite color."
"There's still the other one."
"Go for it." The next one is a deep blue mermaid with a black symmetrical pattern. It has long sleeves that widen around the wrists.
"Felicity... You look stunning in both of them."
"Thanks. I have no idea which one to choose."
