Time jump to the afternoon on Friday.

"Ace- Ace," Blake says while bursting into my room with no warning.

"Dude a little privacy would be nice," I say and give him a nasty look. "What do you need this time."

"I wannaaksalexistohoco," he says.

"Slow down, and repeat that," I say.

"I wanna ask Alexis to hoco," he says.

Well, that's a shocker. I always knew that Blake and Alexis kind of liked each other, but Alexis would never date Gracie's brother. She just couldn't do that to their friendship.

"Dude that's great. Does Gracie know and why do you need my help," I say while giving him a pat on the back?

"Okay well Gracie doesn't know and maybe you could ask Mia to help out with this," he says.

"So you want my help to get Mia's help to help you ask out Alexis," I say.

"Yep," I say.

"Okay fine," I grown back at him.

"Thanks but put a shirt on before you go ask her," he says while leaving my room.

"Will do," I yell back at him and throw on a plain white baggy T.

I go out onto my balcony and see if she is there, and she is. She has her hair up in a messy bun and is holding a coffee cup.

Dang, she is a beauty.

"Hasn't anyone told you it is rude to stare," she says.

"Not really because it is usually others who stare, not me," I say.

"Whatever you say, Romeo," she says and walks back into her room.

"Wait," I yell at her. She stops for a second allowing me time to jump over to her balcony.

I probably should stop doing that.

"What's up," she says while continuing to walk to her room. She leaves the door open and I take that as an invitation to enter.

"I have exciting news, but when I tell you, you can't freak out," I say. She stops dead in her tracks and turns around to face me.

"Speak Ace," she says.

"Well, Blake needs your help, because he wants to ask Alexis to homecoming," I say. It takes her a minute to comprehend what I just said.

"OMG NO WAY, YES OF COURSE I WILL HELP OUT," she screams.

"I told you not to freak out," I say.

"Whatever, so what is the plan," she asks.

" I don't know, but I think Blake wants all of us to go to the coffee house after the game, and then he will ask her there," I say while taking a seat on her bed.
