"Hey Xander!how are you?" Xander replies immediately and says," really good! Hbu?" She replies,"really good too" she says that as she thinks about how awkward this conversation is and she facepalms herself and he replies," why don't you come again tomorrow ??we can study togetherrr" She blushes  and smiles and replies,"I am thinking of coming tomorrow actually!" He replies as he gets really happy,"Yea,it'll be so much fun and luciana will be more than happy" she replies,"Yea ok that sounds good!" Xander replies and says,"Ok goodnight and sweet dreams♡" she replies and says,"Goodnight" as they both go offline,Francesca goes and changes into her pajamas and brushes her teeth and goes to bed and she starts thinking about everything that had happened today till she falls asleep.

It's the next morning, and Francesca wakes up at 7:00 am as usual, she gets out of bed and checks her phone to see if their are any messages and finds a good morning text from Xander saying," Goodmorning Francesca how did you sleep?" a smile sneaks up to her face as she leaves her phone down and goes to her brother's room to find him on his phone and she says to him," Good morning Maximus" he looks at her and says,"Goodmorning Francesca" she replies to him and says,"What are you doing this early on your phone?" He replies and says," Oh nothing just checking instagram" she nods her head as she leaves and goes to the bathroom,she does her morning ritual and goes back to her room,and opens her phone to reply to Xander, she says,"Good morning Xander, I slept well ,hbu?" he instantly replies and says "I am fine, so when are you coming today? he asks as Francesca looks up to  the ceiling to think of an answer to his question and she says,"hmmmm,well I think I'll come at 3pm since we have a lot of studying to do" he replies and says," Ok that sounds good! I'll text you later" she says," Okay, bye" he replies,"byeee" Francesca puts her phone down and goes to her brothers room to find him sleeping with the phone in his hand, she gets the phone and closes it and covers him with the blanket and leaves the room.

She goes downstairs and gets breakfast ready and sits and watches tv, as she's eating she hears someone going down the stairs she looks at the stairs and she finds Maximus and he tells her,"Francesca can you tell me who covered me with a blanket and removed the phone out of my hand while sleeping?" She replies and says,"Oh I did that,I didnt know that you would wake up so soon" he goes up to her and hugs her tightly and he says,"thank youuu" she smiles and hugs him back, as Maximus goes upstairs again and continues to sleep, Francesca spends her time watching tv, time goes by and its 10 am,she checks the time and says,"Oh it's already 10,time went by really quick!" She says that as she gets up and goes to her room she gets some chips and chocolates and she goes downstairs to watch a movie,she puts on the movie and starts watching it while eating the chips.

Its 12 pm and Francesca just finished watching the movie and her face is full of tears, she rubs her face and says,"Oh! I guess this movie was a little too much for me" she says that as she gets up and goes to the bathroom to wash her face, she looks in the mirror and says,"I really look beautiful with tears in my eyes tho" she laughs and washes her face and goes upstairs to her room and plans out what outfit is she going to wear when she goes to Luciana's house, she says to herself,"Ok Francesca,what are you going to wear when you go to Xander's house?" immediately after she says that she stands in shock and says,"Francesca it was Luciana's house now it became Xander's house?what happened to you?!" She looks down and takes a deep breath and looks through her closet to find something to wear, her eyes land on her sport shorts and black hoodie and her black and white sport shoes she gets them out and puts them on her bed and gets her bag ready  and gets her phone to check the time,and its 12:30 she says to herself,"Oh my god,why is time going so slowwww" she wears her outfit and goes out the door to the nearest garden and she finds a bench and sits there, as she sits and the beautiful view of the fountain and the flowers charm her, she starts thinking about everything that's been happening in her life right now and she keeps thinking and thinking until it's 2:55 her mom calls her and says,"hey sweetie!where are you?"she replies,"I am at the garden mom and at 3pm I am going to Luciana's house"her mom says,"Oh ok, do you want me to get you there?" She says,"No mom,I'll go by myself" she replies,"Ok,take care of yourself love you!" She replies,"love you too mom goodbye" her mom says,"Goodbye"

Its 3pm and Francesca is on her way to Luciana's house and she says to herself,"Ok do not panic when you get there everything is fine,everything will be fine" she continues walking and she gets to Luciana's house and she knocks on the door, the door opens and its Luciana, she hugs Francesca and says,"heyy francescaa how are youu?" she replies,"I am fineee how are you?" Luciana says,"I am fine,come on innn!" Francesca goes in and goes to Luciana's room and she finds Xander sitting there, when Xander saw her his face lit up and his eyes opened widely as if he got surprised with her being there,he got up and hugged Francesca and said,"Hey Francesca,how are you?" Francesca with a shocked face replies,"I am fine,how are you?" He says,"I am fine too" he looks at her outfit and as he scratches the back of his neck and the blood rushes up to his face and he stutteringly says,"Y...you look so beautiful with that" Francesca smiles and blushes and says,"O..oh th..thank you" both of them have a sudden moment of silence while they both stare at each other and Luciana comes in and says,"Ok so I think it's better that we start with the math hom...." Francesca and Xander both turn towards her with a red face and she says,"Is everything okay here?" Francesca was just about to open her mouth till Xander says it before her,"O..oh yea definitely everything's fine".

After all 3 of them got out of this awkward moment they all sat on the desk to study, Luciana told Francesca,"Hey Francesca, can I talk to you for a moment?" She said,"Yea sure" Luciana grabs Francesca by the hand and they go to Luciana's room and she tells her,"Is Xander annoying you with anything?" She replies," Oh no no he's fine,we're fine" she says,"Ok if he does anything just tell me" she replies," Yea ok" they go back to the table and Xander says,"Is something the matter Luciana?" Francesca replies and says,"Oh no she was just showing me something" Xander says,"Ok" as he looks at Francesca and smiles and looks back at his book. Francesca was laughing with Luciana and as they were laughing,Francesca noticed Xander staring at her and smiling, she asks him,"Xander,are you ok?" He doesn't reply for a while and after a while he says,"Oh um yea I am ok" Francesca laughs and says,"okay". She then gets up and goes to the kitchen to get something and Xander goes behind her and then
