Felicity's POV

Finally the SAT's are over! We've been studying our asses off for the past two weeks and it finally ended today.

Fran, Summer and I are in the hallway right now. I see Chloe leaving the classroom and walking towards Fran. Summer and I look at each other hinting a smile.

"Hey Francis" she touches his shoulders from behind and he widens his eyes at us. Oh my god, he looks he's having a heart attack. I laugh internally.

"Oh, um, Chloe. Hey Chloe" he rambles nervously. Way to go Fran!

"Hi. Hey Summer. Hey City" she smiles at both of us we do the same.

"Okay, um, you guys talk. Summer and I are headed outside" I say and Fran nods his head in a way that clearly says 'don't go'. And I think Chloe just saw that.

"No no you can stay. I'll just take a minute" she says and smiles awkwardly at us.

"Are you going with anyone to the winter formal?" she asks him. Fran looks at me. Say no you idiot say no! He claers his throat awkwardly.

"Why?" he asks. Oh god. A girl is asking him out to a dance and he asks why? Summer and I share the same expression right now.

"Bceause....I wanna ask you to the formal?" she says but kinda asks him.

"Oh. You wanna take me to the dance? Me with you? No, I mean you with me? Us tog-together?" Fran trails illogically. I have never seen him act this way. Summer and I can't help but chuckle a bit at how stupid he looks. 

Why can't we leave? This conversation feels like it should just be between them.

Chloe laughs kindly at him and asks "why are you acting like we aren't friends? I mean I don't know what happened with you guys and Isaac's friends but you and I are cool right?"

"Yeah yeah. Very cool. And hot. No I meant we are cool, you are hot" Fran rambles and then realises what he just said. God even I feel like burying myself in a blanket, I can't imagine how embarassed he feels right now. Summer slams her forehead and Chloe laughs sweetly again.

"Well if I'm that hot then you'll come to the formal with me right?" she asks him again. Say yes you idiot say yes!

"Surrreee" he slurs without even drinking. She smiles at him one last time and says "okay. Call me" 

Fran looks at her walking away and turns around to look at us with wide eyes. Summer and I are still controlling our laughs.

"No I meant we are cool and you are hot" I imitate him and Summer and I burst into laughter.

"Don't even start with me" Fran says but I can see a smile hidden on his lips.

***

"Mom. I am leaving with Summer. I'll be back for dinner" I yell, pick up our car keys and close the door behind me.

Mom and dad are comfortable with me hanging out with Summer. And on top of that, Penelope has called me in next monday because she has an idea about my parents getting to know the truth.

And Summer and I are going dress shopping because Fran and Summer made me say yes to Lucas for the formal. Summer is going with Dan and Fran with Chloe so I was the only one who was left. So they made me call Lucas and practically forced me to say yes. 

But I still don't feel like I wanna go. I mean Felix would be there. Looking all handsome in a blazer and everything. And he'd be with Brynn or some other girl and I'd be with some other guy and ugh. It's simply frustrating.
