After falling asleep with Fredrick sprawled across me, getting absolutely no sleep last night, I decided I needed some type of coffee and that I should call Finn back. He said he wanted to meet me in the Starbucks, at Barnes and Nobles, I agreed and started changing. I wanted to look semi-cute so I found a snug fitting long sleeve v-neck in the color mint, and a threw a pair of jeans, along with my grey Toms I bought last weekend. I looked at myself in the mirror and grabbed my Columbia, and black scarf.

            I knew I had a long walk so I took along a granola bar. Surprisingly no one tried to talk to me as I stepped outside, smiling to myself, I untangled my ear buds and put them in, One Direction came on, whoever wrote Kiss You must have wanted girls to fangirl over it, as I was trying so hard not to. I kicked around some leaves and checked the time, it read 10:00, I have about an hour to kill. I keep walking in the direction of the mall, watching out for raised sidewalks.

            “Maggie!” Finn yells running across the store towards me.

            “Finn!” I yell back running to meet him with a hug. He holds me tightly, and twirls me around. I laugh at what a goof he is being.

            “You look nice” He says wiggling his eyebrows, I push him playfully.

            “I’m starving” I say walking to the counter, I really wasn’t in the mood for coffee, I thought I was but I ended up ordering a hot chocolate and a cakepop. They called our names and we approached the counter again. The boy behind the counter was really cute, he had blonde hair that swept across his forehead, which flattered him. I grabbed my drink and bag from him, and he winks at me. I smile, looking at my nails. I pay him and he smiles wide at me.

            “Enjoy your Starbucks” he says genuinely, “Look at your cup”.

            I glance at  my hot cocoa and see a telephone number written neatly below my name, I blushed, giggling awkwardly.

            “Call me sometime Maggie” He says, winking at me again. Well this was a great start to my day off.

            “I will, and your name is…” I paused.

            “Casper” he replies, “not the friendly ghost”.

            “It’s cute, Casper” I say “See you around”. I do my best not to squeal and do a little happy dance, which is a lot harder than you may think. I lost sight of Finn and look for him around the bookstore. I see him sitting in the armchair, looking annoyed as he sips from his straw.

            “You left me” I pout sitting on the step next to him.

            “Looks like you had some company” he says, his mouth forming a straight line, as he stares straight ahead of him. Was he jealous? He can’t be..

            “Oh please, the boy behind the counter?” I lie, “As if” I snort. I open up the bag and begin chowing down on my cake pop, delicious. I notice Finn has loosened up, but his foot is still tapping rather quickly.

            “What did he do, give you his number on your drink” He smiles, laughing.

            “Acually, yep” I say “All ten digits, to a certain blonde haired cutie named Casper” I add sarcastically, even though I am drop dead serious.

            “You are a piece of work Maggie” he says, still annoyed. “Hey so, you never called me back last night, did anything happen with the douchebag?”.

            I look down, fighting back tears. I play with my fingers, twisting them and un twisting them, over and over.

            “Maggie?” He asks, waiting for a reply. He realizes that a tear is about to slip out of my eye, so he gets up and sits down next to me. I let him wrap his arms around me and I lay my head in the crook of his neck. The tear falls, and another one soon drips down my face. I hate crying, but this week has been rough, I’m not going to lie.

            “I’ll kick his ass” He says into my hair, “I will you know”.

            I let a laugh escape my lips, a sad laugh. He squeezes my waist and I continue to cuddle into his chest.

            “Just don’t kill him” I say.

            “Why not?” he asks.

            Unable to come up with a response to that question I just nod sadly.

            “Never mind, kill him” I smile.

            “Tell me what happened Maggie” He says stroking my back, trying to comfort me.

            “He butt dialed me” I start “While he was macking on another girl, and he has the nerve to call and ask for a second chance, like he deserves a second chance. Asshole”

            Finn pulls me swiftly onto his lap and gives me a hug. I hug him back as he laughs. I quickly pull away.

            “And what was so funny about that?” I ask, standing up.

            “You look like a puppy when your sad” He says getting up as well. “It’s cute”.

            I blush as I smile up at him, why was he acting so strange. It was almost as if he liked me…

            “I’ve gotta go Finn, thanks for being there for me” I say reaching for a quick hug.

            The moment he wraps me in his arms, he locks me in a tight bear hug. After a few seconds I attempt to pull away, but he tightens his hold on me.

            “Uhh…Finn?” I ask.

            “Hmmm?”

            “Can you let me go?”

            “No”

            “I can’t breathe”

            “Fine”

            He finally releases me and I head towards my house, it’s so quiet without Finn around. I feel like someone is following me, so I snap my head around, nothing but grass. I continue to walk but the feeling still lingers.

            I decide on a master plan, I pick up a walnut off the ground, pretend like I am examining it and chuck it over my shoulder.

            “OWW” Someone yells.

            I laugh and turn around, seeing Finn holding his eye.

            “WHY THE HELL DID YOU DO THAT?!” He yells, hand to his face.

            “Why were you following me” I ask, slightly amused.

            “I wanted to see how long it would take for you to notice me. It was about 2 minutes, congrats there Maggie” He announces, applauding with one eye shut.

            “Wanna leave me alone now?” I ask him, kind of annoyed.

            “No” He winks.

            I begin walking away, a little faster, but he runs and catches up. I realize I have nowhere to go now. This will be a great walk home. (Note Sarcasm)
