Noah's pov

"Mind if I sit here?" A voice called above me. It was lunchtime and I was sat alone in the cafeteria. Gaten was at theatre club which left me alone. I looked up and my eyes met with Finn Wolfhards. He was the typical 'popular' guy, well at least that's what I assumed, he hung out with that group so he must be like all the others. I had never spoken to him before though and quite frankly this was the first time hearing his voice. He had an accent, he was from the North, maybe even Canada but I obviously wasn't about to ask him about it. I turned my head to look over at his friends, they were watching. Before I could say anything he placed his tray of food on the table and began sitting down.

"Some kind of joke with your friends?" I spat. Finn followed my gaze towards his friends and just like that they turned away.

"Of course not!" He said a bit too enthusiastic. I turned back to him and just stared,

"What do you want then Finley?" I sighed causing him to screw up his face.

"Come on Schnapp don't be like that." He smiled over at me earning a blank expression off of me.

"And actually, it's just Finn." He added on with a more serious tone.

"Yeah whatever Wolfhard."

He began eating his food and I was astounded. He looked over at me, his mouth half full of his sandwich,

"What?" He asked barely audible.

"Why are you sat here."

"Why not." The reply only caused another eye roll from me.

"Why." I said my teeth gritted.

"I wanted to say hi okay?" This only caused me to laugh and this time it was Finn who was rolling his eyes,

"No really, I wanted to say hi."

"Why?" I asked still laughing.

"I don't know..." He mumbled.

"And they had no influence?" I quizzed, empathizing the 'they.'

"No!"

"Mmk." I mumbled, finally finishing my lunch.

"What did you have?" Finn asked gesturing to the crust left on my plate.

"A cheese sandwich." I sighed realizing he wasn't going anywhere anytime soon.

"Me too!" He smiled showing me the other half of his sandwich.

"Okay." Finn continued to eat his sandwich and I just sat there. Finn was making small chomp noises as he was eating causing me to screw up my face in disgust. For the remainder of lunch Finn sat there occasionally making small talk and after what felt like forever the bell went.

"English?" Finn asked as I grabbed my bag and stood up.

"What? Oh right yeah." I replied.

"Sick me too, I'll walk wit-" I immediately cut him off.

"No thanks." I mumbled giving him a forced smile and practically ran off.

As I walked into English Gaten was already there.

"The weirdest thing I just happened." I exclaimed sitting down next to him, he jumped slightly at my sudden presence,

"Hey, missed you too." He jokingly replied then gestured for me to continue.

"Finn fucking Wolfhard just sat with me, for like the entire lunch." I exclaimed once again.

"Wait what?" He laughed and before I could continue Wolfhard himself walked into the room with his friend Caleb.
