The Secret Date

"Are you and Finn going to prom together?" Pete asked from the living room.

"Um, no," I whispered, "I'm going alone..."

"That's strange," he said looking down at his legs, "I wish I could be your date."

That was an amazing idea! My brother would love prom. Seeing everyone.

"Come with me, Pete!" I exclaimed. He shook his head and turned back towards the TV.

"You'll enjoy it," I pleaded.

"Hello?!" Finn said from the front door.

"Finn, what are you doing here?" I asked.

"Pete, I have your tux. You're coming to prom with me. Well, with her," he said pointing to Peyton at the front door.

"Peyton?" I asked. What was happening? My brother didn't want to see Peyton? He didn't even like her anymore. She broke up with him.

"Pete," Peyton whispered walking over to him, "I'm so sorry for what happened before. I'd love another chance. If you'll allow it..."

"Of course," Pete said.

Okay, I'm officially confused. Was there like a secret not tell Vivian anything club. Why was I the only one to not know about this?! Has Finn been planning this for a while?

"What is going on?" I hissed grabbing Finn's arm. I lead him out onto the porch.

"Peyton and Minnie showed up here last week because Peyton wanted to try again with Pete..." he explained, "Minnie said she missed me too but I told her I wasn't interested." Oh thank goodness...

"I told her I need to focus on college," he said. Shit. Are you serious? The one time I thought he actually had feelings for me, he doesn't. Ugh.

"Pete mentioned about two weeks ago that he missed Peyton. So I set it up. I needed to see him smile again. Especially knowing what I did to him..." Finn whispered.

"You did nothing to him, Finn!" I said reaching for his hand. He retreaded.

"I have to go to the dance," he said looking at the ground, "My date is waiting..."

And just like that, he was gone...
