Chapter 6: Lessons about French and Smoking Sunflowers

Eliza's POV

"Alex... you like John, right?" Eliza asked, trying to appear subtle.

"Uh, yeah! He's my best friend!" Alex said.
Eliza relaxed. He liked John in a totally platonic way.

"And, uh, Angelica?" Eliza casually added.

"Your sister?" Alex appeared confused.

"Uh, yeah," Eliza awkwardly confirmed.

"She's sweet - we're, like, friends," Alex shrugged.

"Why are you - "

"Classes!" Eliza sung, distracting Alex from the question.

"Dang it! Finish eating! GO! No, you're too slow, bye!" Alex darted off, not realizing he was 20 minutes early for class.

Eliza approached John and Angelica.

Angelica's POV

"John!" Angelica giggled as he tried balancing a pancake on his nose.

"Ooh, I've got the solution!" John grabbed the maple syrup and spread it on his nose, then added the pancake on top.

"Eww!" Angelica squeezed her eyes shut as John started to eat the very pancake that had been on his nose.

The two decided to spend the morning at Angie's as their classes began later that day.

Eliza suddenly was next to him. "Angie? Could I talk to you?"

"Sure, Eliza." Angelica stood up with a bad feeling in her stomach.

They went to sit at an empty table near the living room.

Eliza took a deep breath. "I know about yours and John's crush on Alex."

Angelica's whole world spun around until it focused again on Eliza.

"H - how?" Angelica whispered.

"I - I followed you guys to the ice cream shop, I, uh, thought you guys liked each other and I wanted to push you two together... But instead I overheard you talking about Alex." Eliza hung her head.

Angelica stared at Eliza. "Does Alex know?" Her voice was so low Eliza had to strain to hear it.

"No."
"Listen to me, Eliza. What you did was - was," she trailed off, not finding the right words.

"But no one can know about this! Okay? I swear to god, if I find out anyone else knows about John liking Alex, things will be very messy for all of us!" Angelica whisper-ranted.
"John? What about you?" Eliza asked.

"Only John matters for now, okay?" Angelica muttered. "Angie, I - "
"Look, Eliza, I know you're my sister, but John's my first friend in a while." Angelica ended with that and marched back to her table.

"Let's go to class, John," Angelica commanded.

"But, food!" John protested.

"John!" She exclaimed.

"Fine!" John started walking with Angelica.

"Eliza knows. About all of... this, about us and...Alex" she told him, taking his hand.

John froze, his eyes becoming wide with panic.

"Laurens, chill, she's not telling," Angelica felt him relax.

"But she's his girlfriend," John mumbled.

"Yeah." Angelica closed her eyes for a second.

"I could move on?" John asked, his eyebrows scrunching up.
