Flynn P.O.V:
  
       I sat in the car with Oliver eating ice cream. I stared at him with furrowed brows and watched him eat the ice cream like he had never tasted ice cream before.

He quickly turned to me. "What?"

"Is this your first time eating ice cream or-"

"I tasted it twice."

"Really? Just twice?"

"My parents are really health conscious."

"How old did you say you were?"

"I'm turning nineteen this month,"he licked the ice cream.

"Really?,"I smiled. "And you didn't tell me?"

"We're supposed to tell each other our birthdays?,"he looked at me. "I didn't know that."

"Well...we are friends, right?"

He stared at me then he suddenly smiled. His cheeks turned pink. "I guess,"he turned away and shrugged, trying to act cool.

I smiled and shook my head.

"I think I want more ice cream."

"Do you wanna try chocolate now?"

He shook his head. "That was the last flavor I tasted as a kid. It's an abomination. Like pineapples on pizza."

I put my hand on my chest. "Seriously? You're one of those people? I'm offended. We aren't friends anymore."

He quickly shot a nervous look at me. "I thought that was I joke. I didn't know that actually broke up friendships."

I chuckled. "I was kidding, man. Don't worry. It takes a lot to lose me,"I ate the rest of my cone.

He frowned and turned away.

I was about to ask him what was wrong but my phone went off. "Hello?"

"I failed,"Harley laughed.

"What are you talking about?"

"My test? I totally failed it."

"Then why are you laughing?"

"I don't know. Because I'm nervous."

"...Maybe...What if you didn't fail? What if you're overthinking it-"

"I'm not,"she giggled.

"Harley, why are you laughing like this? Are you...are you high?"

"Zoe let me smoke-"

I groaned. "Why the hell would you do that before a test?"

"I don't know." Her laughing was beginning to irritate me.

I looked at Oliver.

He was staring at me with furrowed brows.

"Harley, where are you?"

"I'm standing outside my dorm. I don't want to go inside."

"Why not?"

"Zoe's going to ask me how I did,"her laughing stopped. "I can't tell her. I got kicked out of the exam....Oh God, I failed,"her voice started to crack. It was like she had just realized what happened. 

"Harley?...Harley."

"What happened?,"Oliver looked concerned.

"She hung up...And I can't be there to make sure she's okay."

He bit the corner of his lip and squinted his eyes. "This weekend."

"What?"

"Let's fly to New York."
