One or the Other

Chp. 1 - Scavenger Hunt?

POV: Finn

the current time was 5:37 in the afternoon, and my lacrosse game just finished. we played the norte dame team and beat them by 4 points. although my team, duke men's lacrosse, won, it was a tough game. notre dame's team is ranked 8th in the nation and duke was ranked 5th in the nation. anyways, that's besides the point... i really need to stop doing that, i always get off track.

what i was trying to say is that i'm was trying to look for my two best friends, sierra and blair. i text them both separately saying that i had a game and they said that they'd watch but i didn't see them.  after about 15 minutes of walking around the locker rooms, the field, and the bleachers, i finally found someone, that someone being sierra.

"hey sierra! i've been looking for you for like so long!" he said while running towards her. "finnegan!!" she exclaimed. finnegan was a nickname that she had given him when they were younger and kept ever since.  they had been friends since the second grade and kept a great relationship throughout the time.

"great game, dummy." she said while laughing and giving finn a hug. finn hugged her back. "thanks for coming sierra." he acknowledged. "oh no problem finnegan, anything for an old friend." she replied with a smile. "oh and also... get some deodorant, you smell like dog shit." she joked as they both laughed.

they both started to walk down the bleachers. once they got down finn looked up at sierra and continued with, "hey, i'm looking my other friend blair, I'm not sure if you've met her or not, but i'm sure you'll like her." he took his lacrosse helmet off then fixed his long coffee colored hair. he still had all of his gear on and was uncomfortably sweaty. "can you help me look?" he asked. sierra looked back up at finn and nodded. "sure!" she said smiling.

after about 25 minutes of looking, it was 6:18 pm. finn decided to text blair asking her where she was. finn typed on his phone, 'B WHERE ARE YOU???' and quickly hit send. "where could she even be? i mean she watched my game... i think... i'm pretty sure i heard her being loud as hell yelling my name" he said to himself letting out a laugh. sierra looked at finn, "maybe she's near the concession stand or by the locker rooms." finn turned towards sierra and looked down to her. finn was always the taller one standing at a surprising 6 foot 4 inches. "oh wait, you're right!" he noted. although he hated to admit it, he always knew that sierra was smarter than him... by a lot.

both sierra and finn searched around the concession stands and the locker rooms and finally, finn found blair. blair quickly noticed her friend and ran towards him. finn opened his arms and hugged her. "hey finny!" blair burst out as she smiled. "blair! finally! me and sierra have been looking around for you for like 30 minutes!" finn said as he glanced at sierra then back at blair. "sorry, i had to go do something for my brother. he needed me to carry his stuff like he couldn't do it himself." blair said as she rolled her eyes in annoyance. "ok, if you say so." finn answered back while letting out a light laugh.

"anyways, i don't think you two have met before, so lemme introduce you to each other." finn looked at sierra and blair. "who's this finny? you're girlfriend? ooooooh!" blair claimed. finn nervously chuckled and looked at Sierra then back at Blair. "haha very funny," he said with a straight face, "blair this my childhood best friend, sierra brady. we've been friends since like 2nd grade." finn proceeded to run his fingers through his hair while looking down to sierra. "sierra, this is my best friend, blair. we've been friends since 6th grade." finn said. "nice to meet you!" blair said while smiling. "you too!" sierra said. both girls looked at each other and waved.

this was the start of an inseparable trio.
