Hell With A Smile

FINN'S POV

She was staring hard and long at me like she was sure I'll be glad to see her snooping up my window, her face was slightly hidden underneath her hood so I had difficulty placing her face, I kept looking hard but saw something that looked like some smile...

Why was she smiling???, what did she want?, why couldn't she just go away?, would she still be there if I came down?, I wasn't so used to people stalking me for any reason.

As if she read my mind, she immediately turned and jogged off, I shouted from my window "no, wait" but she jogged even faster till she took a bend for the corner by the right..

I felt uneasy and somewhat confused, I mean, I had female admirers in school but all it took was some flirty smile, gestures like buying me lunch and taking photos of me on the field, making my sketches, dropping cute but funny notes on my locker not to forget buying me sports shoes and sneakers, how they knew my perfect shoe size, I never knew, girls could be smart when it came to pleasing some guy, but following me down to my home after jogging was new...

Fact was, she didn't call out to me, something all my admirers did, rather she avoided me like she never wanted to be seen, I shrugged and decided to let it be.

I walked off to Andy's room and overheard them laughing....girls shaa, little things gave them joy, I knocked and awaited a reply

"Come in Finn" I heard her reply accompanied by some giggles, what was so funny about me knocking?... I wondered as I walked into her room

"Andy, are you expecting any friend over?' I asked directly, totally ignoring her friends

" no Finn, these are all I gat as close friends, why???"

"Nothing, we'll talk later" I replied and left her room, shutting the door behind me... I went back to my room, took out my headphone, sketch materials which basically comprised of paper, pencil, eraser and a cotton board and began sketching, placing the right face to the body was a little bit of an issue, besides, I barely knew her face, after about two hours, I ended up making her face distant and mysterious... I really needed to know who she was

***********************************************************************Arriving school the next day, I waved Andy off and hurried down to my locker, snapped it open and saw Nothing!

I have no idea on what I expected to see, but maybe, a clue on this mystery girl, she was becoming a distraction and I really needed to focus on my sister, grades and soccer all in that order, I spent half the day in class thinking about her harsh disappearance, I mean, she left me stranded and it was all new to me,no notes, no cards, no picture having an inscription like "crush forever xoxo" seriously, I got worried...

"Absent much?" Peter voice floated me back to the present

I sighed "sorry bruh, being having a lot on my mind, lately, so you were saying??" I smiled weakly at him..

Peter only smiled and stared at me "you know whatever gist I have can wait, we gat you, what's the issue bruh, wanna share?"

"We ain't giving you an option" Jason chipped in "wanna share now??" He corrected as I laughed weakly

"I don't know bruh, some girl has actually..." I started but was cut short

"But you always have girl stuffs going on, we all do and it has never been an issue" Jack pointed out, too soon perhaps

"Bruh, chill, I was just about saying, some girl has actually been stalking me of recent and it's a bit creepy" I blurted

"Wao, that's new, stalking?" Jason reasoned "why not ask her why, then?"

"Well, that would be the best thing to do if I knew her face, but she is pretty good at being hidden and mysterious" I complained feeling exhausted already

"Like some mystery girl?" Peter said frowning "that's way beyond crushing, what could she need, was she sent from the other basketball group in the next school to watch out for us?"

"Slow down trophy freak, that's way too far to do, don't you think, relax bruh and watch less movies" Jason said and turned at me smiling

"I don't it's threatening though it's troubling, got a picture of her body, at least?"

I dipped my hands into my bag and got out my sketch book, showing him the sketches my brain could take in of her

"Looks pretty to me, but face is faint, she has this different kinda hair color though, I've barely seen this hair color around, slight purple with some edge of pink"

"Me too, more reason this is disturbing" I said

"Look bruh, we'll be on the look out, but rest assured, she doesn't look threatening" Peter said and I knew somehow, he was right but still, I was dying to know who this girl was...

We talked more and decided to head to the field for practice, as I headed to the boys changing room, I felt some pair of eyes on me, turning swiftly, it felt like someone just his and I couldn't help but feel edgy, again...

Goodnews was, she wasn't going to do this forever, sooner or later, she would emerge, and then, we'll all know what she wants from me, but right now, my friends were right, I needed to focus on what's visible and important...
