Chapter 10

Freddy's POV

"Hey Freddy," said Marta cheerfully as we were at our lockers at the end of the day.

"Hey Marta, what's up?" I said opening my lock and thinking about tonight.

"Not much. So, what do you think about Frankie and Michelle?"

"What?" I asked confused and turned to face her holding my books in my arms.

"About them going to the dance together."

"What!?" I yelled and dropped my books on the floor in shock. Was she serious? It wasn't that I had any problem with them together, it was just I couldn't believe Frankie hadn't told me! We'd even had free time before the bell rang and we'd been talking. Marta looked startled from my yelling.

"Sorry Marta, I didn't mean to yell. I just can't believe Frankie hasn't told me. We've been telling each other everything since the day we met in kindergarten."

"Oh, I'm so sorry! I don't know why he hasn't told you. I just heard it from Katie," said Marta.

"Its ok, well thanks for telling me. I have to go find Frankie. I'll see you at the dance." I winked, gave her a quick hug and went to go find Frankie. I still was in shock that Frankie hadn't told me. This week had already been tough because of Summer, and now Frankie? Luckily I found Frankie at his locker, just about to leave.

"Dude! Why didn't you tell me about you and Michelle?" I yelled.

"I don't know," Frankie shrugged.

"But this was important to you! I thought we told each other everything!"

Frankie shrugged again. "I wasn't sure how you felt about Michelle." He looked down at the floor. I sighed. I didn't think he would care what I thought. I guess I'd been wrong.

"Frankie, It doesn't matter what I think."

"I know, but..." Frankie stopped in mid sentence and didn't continue.

"But what?" Frankie took a deep breath and finally told me the problem.

"Ever since you and Zack have been going out with Marta and Alicia, you've kind of been ignoring me. I didn't think you'd care when I told you about Michelle." I thought for a moment. He did have a point there. It was true.

"I'm sorry man," I said shaking my head. "I didn't know it bothered you." Frankie was silent. I felt bad, really bad. I broke the silence.

"Well, you and Michelle are hanging out with me at the dance, even if I have to leave Marta for a while."

"That's ok, you don't have to."

"Frankie, I didn't ask you, I told you."

"Fine." Frankie finally looked up at me and grinned. I was glad everything was good here.

"So you want to walk home together?" I asked.

"Sure."

"Ok, let's go. I really need to talk to you about miss teacher's pet."

Summer's POV

There was only about 3 hours for me to get ready and think of a plan. Getting ready wouldn't be too hard. I had bought a really cute outfit yesterday, and Michelle was coming over to do my makeup. I felt bad for Eleni, she was really one of the only ones with out a date, and she had really wanted one. She was going to go with Michelle and Katie but they both got asked, so she hooked up with Tomika, who she isn't that great of friends with. So that gave me another job, finding some one for Eleni to dance with so she wouldn't be totally left out. Oh, and don't let me forget, I'm in charge of this whole dance! I could tell had been one of the hardest weeks of the school year, and it was only the first one. I was not looking forward to the rest! I had an idea of how to get Lawrence and Marta out. I was going to pretend I lost something, and then have Lawrence go look for it outside. That would be easy. Then Michelle was going to steal Marta's purse and hide it by the bushes outside. When Marta realizes her purse is gone, Michelle's going to tell her she saw it outside. While both Marta and Lawrence are out looking, Eleni will lock the doors and then keep watch. When the songs over, we'll let them back in. It might take a lot of work, but it will be worth it. I couldn't wait to wait to feel Freddy's hands on my waist. I sighed and opened up AOL on my computer. "You've got mail," said the familiar voice. I checked it.

Since it needs to happen during yours and Freddy's dance, I'll tell you it right before Phase 1 (aka getting Lawrence out). Your just gonna have to wait till then! Don't worry, I've got everything under control! See ya soon!

Eleni

Oh no! Her plan better be good! I'll kill her if it isn't! I spun around in my chair to check the time. Oh shoot! I better start getting ready!
