Short chapter :) More of a filler.
"Hello my beautiful best friends!" Mollie chirped as she skipped into their shared English class, the blonde dropping into her seat with a large smile before she grabbed a hold of Rochelle's face and brought her forward to press a kiss to her nose. "Isn't it a beautiful day out today?"
"Gross." Rochelle grumbled.
"I'm going to assume that your date went well." Una noted with an amused raise of her eyebrow watching as Mollie pushed Rochelle away from bobbing her head in excitement, her best friends rolling their eyes as they smiled. "Well, we're glad you had a good time. You seem really happy, Molls."
"I am. And it wasn't a date." Mollie muttered, the smile never faltering from her face before she shrugged lightly and pulled her homework out of her binder. "We talked about Lauren and we may or may not have kissed, I won't tell, but I know that we're on the right track. We're supposed to talk things through tonight."
"I can't believe you actually want to be with her." Rochelle grumbled as she looked at her best friend staring long and hard into blue eyes that never once showed an ounce of doubt as they spoke of Frankie. "I mean, I guess I understand because I'd do anything to be with Marvin but it's just...it's Frankie."
"Exactly. I think once you guys get to know her better you'll understand." Mollie replied with a soft expression as she thought of the girl who owned every piece of her heart. "She just makes me happy, and she makes me feel like I can do anything in the world as long as she she's by my side."
"Gross." Rochelle gagged.
"I think it's cute." Una smiled as she looked at her blonde friend, reaching out to squeeze her hand lightly. "I know we haven't always been supportive of what's going on between you and Frankie, but now that we realize how happy it makes you, I hope you know we stand behind you a hundred percent."
"Well, more like fifty percent." Rochelle corrected as she flipped her folder open and removed her assignment, setting it aside as she shot Mollie a look and watched the younger girl wince slightly before biting her lower lip. "Come on, Molls, she's still Freaky Frankie in my eyes. It'll take some time before I see her as anything else."
Mollie furrowed her brow as she listened to Rochelle speak and couldn't help but bite down on her lower lip to keep from snapping at her best friend. She understood that Rochelle wasn't going to be as accepting as Una, but she wasn't going to let Frankie be bullied by anyone ever again, especially not her best friends.
"Things will have to change, if we get back together." Mollie quietly warned after a few moments of silence, the blonde staring down at her pen as she twisted it around her fingers a few times. "I won't put up with you guys calling her names and trying to make her life hell, I won't look past it anymore."
"We figured as much." Rochelle shrugged as she looked up briefly from her assignment before glancing at Una with a small smirk. "And don't worry, her little group of losers is off limits because Una thought it'd be fun to strike up a friendship with one of them. Now, she trails her like a puppy dog."
"Who are you friends with?" Mollie demanded curiously.
"Vanessa." Una muttered as a light blush spread across her cheeks, the redhead sinking her teeth into her lower lip for a moment. "She was my partner for a social studies project and I realized she isn't as bad as I had originally thought. She's actually kinda sweet once you get to see the real her."
"And now you know how I feel about Frankie," Mollie chirped before her eyes narrowed as she watched Una nod slowly and cast her eyes back down the paper, blue eyes widened suddenly before Mollie leaned forward on the table and lowered her voice. "Do you have a crush on Vanessa?"
