Finney:
He made his way to the party and completely gave up on making a statement when he saw how bland his closet was.

It's fine he can still try new things. But what do you even do at a party anyways?

Finney finally made it and Bruce gave him a hug and lead him towards two people.

"Finney! Meet Billy, Billy meet Finney. Finney meet Griffin, Griffin meet Finney. You guys go do something I'm gonna go find that girl I spoke to last Friday"

The awkward tension was at max and so Finney decided to speak.

"I'm just gonna go-"
Never mind, he's going to leave.

"You sure? I can get you a drink."

He wanted to be polite and say no, but, try new things.

"Uh, yea that'd be great, thanks"

"Yea! For sure" Billy said passing him a red solo cup filled up.

"So, do you like football?" Billy asked. It was like his go-to question. "Uhh, I mean games are fun and all but I've never been interested" Finney said taking a sip out of his cup.

"Well if you ever change your mind there's a home game tomorrow night. I don't know why coach chose Saturday instead of today but he did. Well sorry I'm being side tracked but Bruce, Griff, and I think Vance are going. I don't know if you actually know Vance I just know you've spoke to him last Friday"

"Yea, yea he's cool. But sure I'll try to go. Thanks."

"Yea of course, and your name was Finney right?"

"Uh, yea Finney Blake, why?"

"Oh your that kid that killed that asshole!!"

great, just another kid who wants to be popular by being his friend. He's not even popular, why do people think he is???

"haha yea.."

"Thank you honestly I would've done it myself if he wasn't so controlling y'know"

"Wait- Billy Showalter?"

"that's my name yea..?"

"Oh! I'm so sorry people keep coming up to me and acting like they hated the Grabber and how they think he's an ass and shit, it's just weird to me I sorry I'm just rambling, but I'm glad to have someone around here who understands."

"Yea, for the longest time all I had was Griffin but we kinda had to help each other out. Especially because nobody knew his name then the next week he had an article about him"

"Oh, so you're Griffin Stagg I should've known" Finney said to Griffin. "Yea I'm so sorry you guys went through that alone" Finney finished.

"It's fine now, I mean, no one cares about us anymore we're old news."

"Aw, that's awful"

"Well we've gotten used to it"

"I'm glad"
—————————————————————————
After he finished his talk he saw that Bruce did in fact invite him, Robin. He tried not to make eye contact but he was walking towards Finney anyways.

Although Finney was scared know how strong he was that just holding his shirt lifts him off the ground, he had to act like he didn't see him.

He was just refilling his drink, trying to act normal.

Immediately as he was done he made his way around the kitchen and into the bathroom locking the door. He might've made it too obvious with the speed he walked with.

He was just sitting on he toilet lid and jumped spilling his drink all over his shirt when a knock hit the door.

"Fuck, ONE SECOND!"
He yelled, and after he realized it was probably Robin.

"shit!" The sink ran as he tried to get the drink out of his shirt, which failed. It was cold and wet and it just made Finney more anxious.

"Open the door Finn"

Without thinking he unlocked the door and yelled "It's unlocked" as he tried to rub it out with  sink water he was in front of the mirror and sink looking down at his shirt.

Robin walked in and Finney looked up and back down at his shirt showing no care.

"Yea?" He said still rubbing it out. "I'm sorry. For every thing, I understand if you can't believe me now but I promise you, I will not hit you ever again. Not with control."

Finney looked up into the mirror at Robin and squeezed the water out of his shirt. "Robin I don't care. I know you can't control it it's just a misunderstanding dude"

"How are you so understanding, like how do you know this stuff??" Robin says with squished eyebrows walking over and sitting on the toilet seat facing Finney.

"I don't know my dad maybe?"

After that the bathroom was silent. They didn't know what to say. Finney just continued to turn the sink on, find a towel, squeeze the water out, add soap to the mix all while Robin just watched from the lid of the toilet.

He finally broke the silence when he said "do you need me to get you a new drink or just refill it"

"Just put anything in it" Finney give the cup to Robin and he walks out.

Why was it so weird between them??

He came back with a full cup to the brim so he had to drink it quickly before it spilt. With the alcohol dripping down his cheeks he drank around 1/4 in one chug.

"Do you still have those cigarettes?"
—————————————————————————
They were one odd duo but they definitely were having fun just sitting in the bathroom smoking and drinking. Robin sat on the toilet facing forward as Finney sat in-front of the toilet scrolling on his phone again.

"No fucking way" Finney said and began to laugh. "What happened?" Robin tried to look at his phone til he turned it towards him.

'Finney Blake and Robin Arellano fist fight two times yet still are best friends?'

"Best friends?!?" Robin said as Finney was kicking and flaring his legs and arms laughing so hard.

"It's like 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' but make it kidnapped kids on the school!" Robin said which just made Finney laugh harder.

He wasn't wrong. That instagram account contains cheer squad, football team, popular kids, and kidnapped kids.

No more,
No less.
