“Hello Veronica, I’m really glad you like it, but the thing is, that’s not me who did that,” wait what “your dad got you all of that. I just told him what you like and he made it come true. Honey, you should call him, okay? I love you, dear. Stay safe x”
Two things:
1. Mum still talks to Dad
2. My dad did all this.
I love my dad but I only see him twice a year, so we kind of drifted apart. And I can’t believe they still talk. I mean ever since the divorce when I was in the sixth grade, I never thought they still communicate with each other. Weird.
Fuck this; I’m going out to buy toiletries and tea. I got my hoodie on, plugged my earphones in and pretty soon, I was walking out my building, looking for the supermarket like a little puppy looking for food in the city.
“Just keep walking. Just keep walking” I said as I saw the sign of the supermarket. “Finall—Ow!” I fell to the ground and let out a shout.
“Hey watch it!”
“Oh, my fuck, I’m sorry. Here let me help you. I’m Finn Harries.” He said as he grabbed my arm to help me up.
“I know who you are. I’m Veronica.”
How can I not know who he is? I watch their videos all the time. From the moment he said “Oh, my Fuck.” I knew instantly, this is him. Is this real? Am I socializing? Am I really talking to this beautiful creature whose twin is Jack Harries? Oh, my God, I can’t fathom my feels.
“Hello there Veronica, I think you dropped this?” Finn said as he handed me my iPod back, but before I can even grab it, he yanked it back and looked at the song playing.
“No way! You listen to Sleeping With Sirens?”
“They’re my favorite band. You?”
He is hot. He is cheeky. He is nice. He is Finn Harries and he listens to Sleeping With Sirens. WHAT?! Oh my, I’m blushing like crazy.
“Definitely! ‘They say that love is forever, your forever is all that I need.’”
He just sang my most favorite line from SWS. I will marry this boy.
“Awesome. Hey I gotta go now. See you some other time.”
This is Veronica Anne Holmes, everyone. She finds an awesome guy who fits her fantasies and whom she really fancies and then boom, she leaves. Wow, Veronica, wow.
“Wait - can I at least come with you? Wherever you’re going.”
“What? Umm –why? ” I can’t help but flash a goofy smile at this cheeky lad.
“You’re the first girl I’ve ever met who listens to this kind of music. I’d love for us to hang out.”
Oh, my God, did he said he wanted to “hang out” with me. That’s like asking me if I want to go on date. OF COURSE! HE IS FINN HARRIES. WHO WOULDN’T WANT HIM?!
“Sure, Finn. Maybe you can come with me to the supermarket?”
“I would love too.”

“So umm.. What’re you buying? Pop tarts? Maltesers? Girl shit?”
“Wow, Finn easy with the questions.”
“Right, I’m sorry. So umm, what are you buying?”
“Girl shit. And Maltesers and pop tarts. Basically everything you said. You don’t have to come with me when I pick out girl shit, okay?”
