She does not usually give a damn about her appearance and does not do her hair or wear cosmetics. She thinks she does not need to be cool as she has so far managed to navigate high school just fine. She can get along with the band geeks, the nerds, the theatre kids and the jocks with no problem. She is now starting senior year and wants to focus on her AP classes to get her grades up. It should not be hard particularly since she has been declared untouchable. Apparently, most of the guys in her school deemed her the best for hanging out for homework or fun but nothing else. It’s a little hard to swallow even though she was not particularly looking for a date. She had been ranked best tutor but knew she could not make the Girl Most Likely to Get a Date. She brushes it all off as she just has one year before she off to college, after all she needs to study to get the grades she needed to get into a good college. After all, she had never cared about status and rules before, why would she start now.

Frankie thinks things could not get worse even though nearly all of them have broken rules and crossed lines. Ian has asked her to be his date at the Homecoming Ball, Jake has slept with her and she had made out with Coop on the sofa. Archie and Frankie had blown past all of them but she feels she needs to get out high school with urgency. College was a few months away and she needed to focus on that and not the four boyfriends she was juggling. Losing them for several months was going to hurt but she knows she would eventually have to bear the pain of losing them forever.
