Okay so i need someone to beta my work as my awesome beta can't anymore.
Also reviews are welcomed
"Okay, so what can I help you with?" Barry asked Laurel as they stepped inside an empty classroom.
"So since Ray has come to the school he has been attached to Felicity's hip and Oliver hasn't really been able to speak to her." Laurel said.
"That's not really Ray's fault, is it. Oliver can't just expect everyone to come to him. Felicity's not going to just ignore him if he comes over and talks to her, you know." Barry reasoned.
"Oliver is not used to girls not falling at his feet Barry. She's really got him flustered, I've never seen him like this. Barry, he made us sit and watch Doctor Who for two weekends. DOCTOR WHO. Barry." Laurel emphasized.
"Oh, wow. Maybe he really does have it bad. Here's the thing, l think she might like Ray or is at least attracted to him. Very attracted." Barry countered with a shrug.
"No, Barry, you can't say that. l am discussing this with you so we can help my friend not to break his own heart." Laurel said while glaring at him.
"Look, I'm sorry, okay? But I can't just make my friend like your friend. At least with Ray he's in the field and not standing on the sidelines waiting to make a play" Barry replied.
"Wait, did you just use a sports analogy?" Laurel asked perplexedly.
Barry smiled sheepishly and rubbed his neck. "Yeah, Ray's been teaching me about football."
"Look, is Ray interested in her too?" Laurel wanted to make sure.
"I think so." Barry admitted apologetically with a nod.
"Oh crap." Laurel groaned as the bell rang for class.
"What are you going to do?" Barry inquired curiously.
"I think I'm going to go break my friend's heart." Laurel said and walked away.
Relaying the information to Oliver was the hardest thing Laurel ever had to do. Seeing that light in his eyes disappear and to be replaced with heartbreak almost broke her own heart.
"This can't be it, Oliver. You still have to try, man!" Tommy said passionately as they once again took their seats in the science class.
"What's the point? She's clearly interested in the new kid." Oliver muttered with a sulking expression while resting his chin on the desk.
"You know what? If you're not going to do anything, then I will!" Tommy exclaimed, collecting his things and getting up. He walked over to Felicity's usual seat and dumped his things, much to the surprise of Ray and Oliver.
Oliver couldn't help smiling at what his best friend was doing, there now only was one seat left next to him. He sat up straight and smiled as he watched Felicity's cute little face scrunch up in confusion when she walked into the classroom.
"Hi." She said shyly, placing her books down.
"Hi." He greeted in return.
They both turned their heads to the front of the class.
So Oliver Queen smelt so good and felt really warm.
Felicity only knew this because it seemed Oliver didn't understand that there were up to two chairs between them and not one. The left side of his body was pressed up against hers as they were doing a work sheet given to them by their teacher.
He clearly wasn't understanding what she was explaining to him. Instead Oliver was just looking at her with a soft smile which was triggering a reaction in her stomach - maybe she was getting sick.
"Hey, what are you doing this Saturday?" He asked her, completely disregarding her last five minutes trying to get him to understand question 5.
"What?" She asked, eyes wide in surprise.
"What are you doing on Saturday?" He asked a smile on his face.
"Um, I don't know. There's a science thing about particles In Central City." Felicity said.
"Oh, do you need a lift?" Oliver asked looking hopeful.
"Oh, I'm going with Ray" She replied and couldn't help the feeling of guilt as his eyes changed to disappointment.
"Can I .. I mean, would you mind if l came with you, guys?" Oliver asked after a few moments of silence, looking as surprised as she did by that question.
"I'm usually the one who talks in sentence fragments." She said with a smile on her face.
He hoped the bashful smile was outdoing the blush on his face.
"Are you sure you want to come with us? It can be very boring for you. Especially when Barry, Cisco and Ray can go off on a tangents." Felicity wanted him to be sure of his decision.
"But you're going to be there, right?" Oliver asked and at seeing her nod, he continued with a confident voice, "Then I want to be there too."
"Okay." She said while smiling shyly.
