Frankie's POV
Dinner is over and slipping out of my bra and putting in comfy clothes has never felt so good.
I lay down on my bed wondering what movie Veronica and I should watch. We decided on The Breakfast Club. Our favorite movie to watch together.

Veronica exits the bathroom attached to my room and looks at me with a questioning look. I already know what's coming. "Sooooooooo" she asks. "SoOoOoOoOo" I mock her back. "Oh come on Fran" she exclaims. "I know you're into Alexander, I'd never thought I would see the day you liking a boy." she says. "Whatever, it would never work anyway." I reply. He could have every other girl, why would he want me?

"School has been going good" I babble to Veronica. "But I can only think about one person."

"Maybe you could try something new in your life to distract yourself. This is so exciting, I've never seen you talk about a boy- scratch that- a man."

I then hear a the garage door opening then closing.

"HONEY" my mom yells.

I run downstairs to greet my mother. "Hey mom, what's up?"

"I found a job for you. You are becoming an adult and you can't live on your father and I's money for the rest of your life."

Like I didn't know already. "Obviously mom, that's one of the reasons why you go to college."

"I do not need the sass. Anyway I landed you a modeling gig."

"You WHAT, I am the most un photogenic person in the world."

"Do not say stuff like that. You are beautiful hun." my mom scolds.

But it gets even better.

"Priscilla is going to be ecstatic you agreed."

Priscilla? Priscilla Black? Alexander's mother?

"You should be happy" Veronica consoled. "Making money with one of the top modeling agencies in the world. This could be your distraction."

"I do not need to distract myself with modeling for Alexander's mom."

"But this could bring you guys to talk."

"We do not need to talk. I am being silly. I do not even know him. How can I like someone who I never had a conversation with?"

"But he obviously makes you happy. And you deserve to be happy."

"You miss 100% of the shots you don't take."
