( Robin's POV )

"Robin I just don't understand you, first Jenna is on the hook, but the major plot twist, you kiss Finney and now I hear from Vance you're ignoring him." Ben says all rushed. He continues sweeping as I glare at him.

"It's not that I don't want to hang out with Finney... It's... Billy." I whisper. Confused Ben turns towards Billy. "You have a crush on him." Ben says raising an eyebrow at me. "What, Ew no." "Oh okay, good because I was about to say." Ben pretends to wipe sweat off of his brow which only leads to me rolling my eyes.

"Billy just talked to me last night on the phone, and he was really upset. But I mean I didn't care. But he did kind of threatend me and my ego... Or something like that. It's just complicated, and I mean after what Billy said about Finney it didn't put me off of him he just..." I stared at the ground not wanting to finish my sentence.

"It's okay dude, I'll talk to you later." I look up to see Finney enter. He glances over to me but quickly shuffles over to Bruce. I was disappointed but continued sweeping. There was no lie that I liked Finney, but he'd probably never talk to me again because of Billy.

I wanted to talk to Finney, really bad actually. But... I don't think he wanted to speak to me anymore. I glance up to See Finney talking with Vance and Bruce holding two decorations. Billy was sweeping too staring at Finney. As I looked at him a memory popped up that I forgot a while ago.


"I wonder if the new student will be cute." I heard a girl say as I passed by her. I rolled my eyes approaching Dustin. "Hey!" I smile. "Hey, have you seen Chris?" "Uh, I thought he was sick or something." I say. "Oh, okay, well talk later, I have to turn this essay in." Dustin says showing me a piece of paper with messy handwriting. I nod before Billy approaches me. "Hi" Billy says flashing me a smile. I smile back putting my books in my locker. "You want to sit with us and Griffin at lunch today?" I quickly hid my frown before answering. "Yeah, I'd love to."  Billy nods smiling brightly. I closed my locker looking at Billy. "So when do you think the new student will be coming?" I ask just on cue the big front doors open. I look over Billy's head seeing Finney Blake. He had a NASA back pack and a plain black t-shirt. He wore faded navy blue jeans with black high top converse. I smiled at him and he managed to notice. He smiled back before turning  to the teacher who was by his side. Vance and Bruce then approached him. They were the tour guys of the school to new students. and as I glanced at Billy he was staring right at Finney Blake.


I looked down once again before Vance walked over to me. "Uh can you get cups and just stack them on the table over there. I begin to approach the storage closet by the stage till Vance stops me. "They ran out of cups in there so just go to the one by the cafeteria and east wing." I nod before heading out.

I take one last glance only to see Bruce smiling mischievously while Vance walks over and Finney nowhere to be found.

I continue walking down the hall taking many rights and lefts before getting to the east wing. I begin walking over to the storage room. I reach it accidentally knocking away a chair holding the door open. I ignored the sign before hearing a scream. "OW!" Scared and confused I reached over to the light switching it on.

I scan around seeing Finney on the floor. "Are you okay?" I ask. "Do I look okay?" Finney says coldly. I reach my hand out for Finney to grab but he cooly declines and gets up himself brushing himself off. 

"Shit." He mumbles under his breath. "What?" I ask. "Move." I raise my eyebrow before meeting eyes with Finney to see him glaring at me. I quickly move away from the door.

Finney begins turning the door knob aggressively, and it doesn't budge. He kicks the door roughly. "Piece of shit!" Finney yells slamming his hands against the door in annoyance.

"What?" "You, can't read either can you?" Finney says sliding down the door bringing his knees close to his chest. "Read what?" "The sign! The sign on the fucking door that said the door won't open from the inside if you close it!" Finney then burried his head into his knees sighing.

I slowly sat down scooting over to him. "Are you okay?" "No." Finney mumbles. I hover my hand over Finney's back about to start rubbing it until Finney shrugs me off. "Okay... Sorry." I mutter scooting away from him.

"Why are you ignoring me?" Finney says quietly. I look over to him confused. "What do you mean?" I ask. Finney's head rises his eyes slightly glazed. "Like this whole day you've been ignoring me, but you've been looking at me every chance you get."  

Finney says looking up at the ceiling. "But yesterday you just kissed me and..." Finney continues but drifts off as he stares at the ceiling. "Finney." "You know what just don't.  You said that you had a crush on me... But yet you said the cruelest things to me... I just don't understand after all this time you just... start liking me. and the second we kiss you just pie me off... So if you really cared about me then... Just leave me alone." Finney quickly gets up before the door knob wiggles.

Still on the floor I quickly get up. "There you guys are." The teacher says. "Hm, see someone did that." The teacher says pointing to the chair moved to the side. I look down before the teacher moves for us to exit.

I try to keep my pace up with Finney but he just quickly walks away to the gym. "Robin come on!" Vance yells Billy and Bruce by his side. "What about Finney?" I say walking up to them. "He's doing the posters around the halls. We just have to hang the stuff up on the doors of classrooms." Vance says. I nod glancing around hopeful to find Finney... But I didn't.


I hope you enjoyed the chapter, sorry it's so late! And for those who may be like "What about the cups", they got cups from the storage room by the stage. Bruce and Vance just tricked them to get stuck in there as you may have guessed already!
