Chapter 3. Ice Cream for Two.

The next morning, Lewis put on Lucilles glasses and walked out of the house.

He decided to hit the button once he felt eyes on him, so he wouldn't walk into things by keeping the always looking behind you button on.

About ten minutes to school, Lewis felt the familer feeling. He raised his hand quickly and pressed the button.

Nobody was behind him.

"What?" He exclaimed, he turned around and peered over his glasses. The only thing behind him was a car and a few trash cans.

He began walking again, and felt the peering of eyes. He hit the button again but to no anvil. Nobody was behind him.

"I know you are there!" Lewis yelled, turning around and facing the street. "Come out! I know karate!"

Franny sighed in her spot behind the trash can. "He knows karate!" She whispered to herself, lovestruck. She then followed Lewis again once he began moving again.

After school, Lewis grabbed his glasses and pressed the correct button. He'd walk halfway home with the glasses like this, hoping that his stalker would pop up again.

Again, ten minutes to home, he felt eyes. But this time, he saw whose eyes they were.

Lewis looked at Franny, she had a huge smile on her face and she was hugging herself.

He lifted his arm, she gave a quick cartwheel and was gone, hidden behind car.

Lewis blinked. "Franny?" He thought. "Frannys my stalker, my gosh."

He began walking again, and she quickly left her hiding spot.

As he was walking, he shouted out. "Franny!"

Franny stopped short, a startled expression on her face.

Lewis turned around and pressed the button on his glasses, turning them back to normal. "What are you doing?"

Franny looked him up and down, and looked thoughtfull.

"What are you doing?" She asked him.

"I asked you first!"

"I asked you second!" Franny retorted.

"Franny." Lewis groaned, doing a face palm. "C'mon. Were you following me?"

Franny looked at her feet. "Yeah." Then she suddenly became agressive. "What were YOU doing watching me? HUH?" She put her arms up.

Lewis looked at her, his eye twitched. "Do you want to go to the Ice Cream parlor?" He asked, finally. He figured if he was going marry he one day, he might as well treat her nice.

Franny put down her arms, her expression changing from devensive, to lovestruck. "Lewis!" She gasped.

"Cornelius." Lewis reminded her.

"What?"

Lewis sighed. "Lets just go, okay?"

Lewis and Franny sat in the ice cream parlor, in a booth in the back. Franny's choice of seat.

She sat across from him, sipping her ice cream soda, gazing at him longingly.

Lewis looked at her and got extremely uncomfortable. She just wouldn't stop looking at him, he felt completely exposed.

"Do you want to be friends?" Franny asked suddenly, startling Lewis.

"I thought we were already friends," Lewis replied.

"Better friends." Franny corrected herself. "We'll hang out everyday."

"Ugh, I understand you wanting to hang out, Franny. But I am in a bigger grade then you and I won't always be able to hang out-"

"You'll hang out with me Lewis. You will." Franny told him.

He stopped, stunned. "Geez." He breathed.

Franny finished her soda and jumped off her seat. She went over to Lewis and hugged him tightly.

"You'll hang out, won't you?" She looked up at him. "Pwease?" She gave him puppy dog eyes and a pouted lip.

Lewis couldn't take it. "Yes, I'll try to hang out with you." He said finally.

"Oh yay!" Franny cheered. She hugged him again and said:

"Don't ever leave me."

"Ever." Lewis replied uncertanly.

"Good!" Franny giggled. "Cause I'll find you!"
