Frankie was moody all the rest of the morning. It wasn't just because of Vanessa's latest bitchiness to her but that Frankie knew she was correct.
She ignored the girls and all the other classmates of hers keeping quiet till lunch. She only spoke when spoken to by the teacher.
When lunch came she went to sit in the atrium and her best friends dragged her to their table.
"Okay seriously, you can ignore us in class, not at our half hour break" Sophie scolded.
Frankie gave her a snort followed by a small smile.
"What is it you want me to say Soph?" Frankie asked.
"Hey girls…can I join you?" a voice asked before Sophie could speak. The three turned to a sophomore behind them.
Usually classmen didn't mix but Juliet was special being Stella's little cousin.
"Hey Jules, yeah come on over, maybe you can cheer up miss moody" Emily said.
Juliet sat by Frankie and poked her arm. "Let me guess, that girl is being mean to you again?" she asked and Frankie shrugged.
"She's just being her usual honest self" Frankie said.
All three gaped at her. "You gotta be joking" Sophie cried and Frankie raised a brow at her.
"Am I Soph? I mean come on girls, you can't believe everything she said isn't true" Frankie cried.
Sophie and Emily traded nervous looks and Frankie smiled a 'I told you so' smile.
"Face it girls, Nick, Joe and Kev molded me into the perfect porcelain doll, sure she's cracked a bit, lost a few pieces but she is utterly pure and innocent and you can see that in her pretty face" she said.
"Dramatic much Franks?" Sophie said trying to lighten the mood.
Francesca gave her a sad smile.
"Am I Soph? Really? Because I don't think you'll ever get me, you're brother isn't pure, he doesn't overprotect you" Frankie yelled getting in the brunette's face who shrunk back in terror.
"But…but I mean…come on Frankie, you're old enough to just do as you please" she replied as she fought to find her voice.
Francesca laughed. "Yeah…as I said Soph, Mike doesn't treat you like you're a doll and he's the inventor…every time I fight with them they find some way to make me feel so guilty I beg them to forgive me" she answered.
Sophie got up and went to her.
"It's okay sweetie" she said stroking her hair and Francesca only laughed again.
"Oh my god please stop sugar coating me…it's not okay because I'm always going to be trapped, either I obey JONAS or I become them" she moaned.
Frankie walked away from Sophie and faced her.
"Soph, Em, Jules, you girls don't get it but since I was sixteen I knew my life was always going to be a disaster, it took me almost a month to regain myself and I heard so many students gossip about me in that time" she said.
All three put their hands to their mouth only hearing this for first time."Some pitied me while others shunned me but it didn't matter what they said, I realized as I heard that I was a puppet to my brothers, I was Frankie Lucas, doll face forever…and as I said…I have to choose my loyalties and Vanessa knows it and will forever haunt me with that" she finished.
"Frankie…" Emily cried and ran to hug her.
Frankie returned the hug but only a brief second.
"I need to be alone now girls, I'm sorry I just need to think this out alone" she said and hurried off grabbing her sandwich, banana, cookie and drink.
Poor Francesca, so what's her choice I wonder? And does this really have to do with prologue or am I just messing with you all? Guess you'll just have to stay tuned.
Please review, I'll give you a candy bar.
