Work Text:
Isabella lay on her bed, pulling up Dylan’s profile. It brought her no joy to do this. She liked Dylan. She liked being friends with him. It pained her that she couldn’t like him the way that he liked her.
Her heart belonged to only one.
With a sigh, she hit the block button for his own good. He was the fifth boy she’d had to do this to.
Having taken care of that particular issue, she turned to her feed to take her mind off her disappointment.
A meme came up of a woman grimacing. The caption read, “When you’re hanging with your guy friend and he says, ‘I have feelings for you.’”
Isabella felt vindicated. She clicked “like” and commented omg so real ugh.
Phineas didn’t use social media much, but he liked to see what his friends were up to.
Suddenly, a picture from an account he didn’t follow appeared. He was confused until he saw that Isabella had liked and commented.
His heart sank.
Ferb noticed. “Something wrong?”
Phineas shook his head. “No. No, I just… need to cancel some plans.”
Just then, a message came up. hey Phineas whatcha doin
Phineas bit his lip. nothing exciting. you?
same here wanna catch a movie
Just a minute earlier, Phineas would’ve seen this as the perfect opportunity.
He felt like such a creep for thinking that.
He had to make sure she didn’t get the wrong idea.
can Ferb come?
After a while, Isabella’s reply came through. sure i guess if he wants to
Phineas looked up. “Hey Ferb, you wanna see a movie with Isabella?”
Ferb’s thumb popped up.
Phineas turned back to his phone. cool, we’ll see you then.
Once the message was sent, he slipped his phone in his pocket and headed upstairs to his room.
He had a surprise to throw out.
