Crying

Caleb

I decided to walk over to Noah, Gaten, and Sadie after thirty minutes of looking over at them because they were on their phones and I wanted to be considerate. When I approached them, they gave me disgusted looks with their glassy eyes. I stepped in and exclaimed, "Look. It's not what you think, okay guys?" Noah suddenly stood up and strutted towards me with rage.

He then yelled out, "What are you even saying, man? I don't know what to believe anymore. You've changed a lot ever since you became a senior. But honestly, you know what Caleb? Forget it! I don't care anymore. I don't want to know your side of the story. You can hang out with your squad and do whatever you want. Screw you." He then turned around to face Gaten and Sadie with an anti-apologetic look for sure and stormed out of sight without another word.

Sadie and Gaten then shook their heads and wiped their tears, running after Noah. I sat at the table they were at, once they have stomped away and disappeared. I exploded into tears, wondering if I could ever even earn their loyalty back. Let alone their trust. I feel so stupid. Why haven't I thought this through? I'm a complete mess! How am I supposed to make this up?

I headed home, driving my car recklessly after staying at that dreaded lunch table, crying my eyes out until seven at night. I slammed the car door to close when I've arrivedaaw at my broken home. I didn't eat dinner that day. I don't deserve it. I just went straight to bed, hoping this day would end already.

Attempting to call Noah, Gaten, and Sadie endlessly, I never got a response. I did this until it was two o'clock in the morning. I fell asleep with the deep bags under my eyes. I also figured it would be best not to call Finn again. He didn't pick up the first time and I don't want to seem desperate.

I mean, I'm so supposed to guide our group of friends as the older member. I don't want to let them down more if I just let Finn do everything. Besides, he probably doesn't even know about this, right?

Millie

"He did what!?" Finn shouted out. "Shush! It's already midnight for you, Finn. Don't cause chaos!" I complained to him considering that my mom could probably hear me. She knew my gloomy vibe was kicking in when we were at that mall so she left me alone for a couple of hours. I don't think she knows I've been talking to him for like five hours trying to explain everything based on the text messages.

"Who cares?" Finn harshly whispered. "Look Mills, it's like what? Late afternoon for you? Come on. My mom won't mind me yelling and your mother won't either. I bet I'm not even making the faintest noise on your cutesy little phone." I rolled my eyes at the stubborn Finn I once knew before. He hasn't changed a single bit. "Okay Finnie Boy. Whatever. Just make sure you stick to the plan, okay?" I heard a slight chuckle from him as he mockingly responded, "Okay," with a rubbish British accent.

I ended the call as we both were able to say goodbye to each other and I truly enjoyed my time spent on him. Finn knows how to make me happy, you know? Whoever dates him must be one pretty lucky girl. I told him what I knew about Caleb and the others and how he can solve this ongoing dilemma. However, he doesn't know I'll be coming to California, so I'll be able to assist him too.

He plans on calling Noah, Gaten, Sadie, and Caleb to meet up at this place, not knowing they are all going at once, so they are all cornered in to talk to one another without avoiding each other. This may not seem like the most action-packed plan but, hey. Although it may not seem like it, this mission is on the top ranking for mission impossible!

I hope this plan works. I will go to that place after school on Monday. I can't wait to see them all! It'll be phenomenal. Imagine their faces when they see me. It'll be priceless.

Finn

She hanged up after I wished her goodbye. I didn't want that call to ever end. It was cool catching up with her. I can barely comprehend how many hours I've been talking to her, but it's already midnight here so I'm assuming that we've been talking for forever. I realized I was still in the basement so as I was about to head up the stairs, I heard a voice say, "Wow. That was the most cheesy conversation I have ever heard in my entire life."

I almost jumped from being so startled. I didn't have to ask who this mysterious voice belongs to because it was obviously Nick. Shoot. I forgot he was there. Oh my God. That means he heard our entire conversation. I squinted in the dark to see where he was and he was just there, lying on the couch. "What do you mean?" I asked, while sitting down on the floor carefully in front of him. "Finn, don't act so stupid. It's obvious. You tease her a lot and she laughs at your lame jokes."

Feeling offended, I said with a loud voice, "No! My jokes aren't that lame. I only call her Mills because I want to. Friends tease each other all the time." Nick glared at me and smiled widely. He replied, "Finn, why are you turning red? Dude, you are blushing so hard that I can even see it through the dim lights of this basement. And why are you so worked up about all of this?"

Oh no. I got all defensive over her. I didn't mean to. I covered up my face so when I said "Goodnight," to Nick, it sounded all muffled. Slowly but surely, I went upstairs and power walked all the way to my room, embarrassed about that moment. I went to bed but I felt my face and still felt warmth. I couldn't get that call we had out of my head. What's going on with me today? It's not like I love her or anything. I just care. That's all.

I miss her and all but I bet she has a boyfriend already. I mean any guy would be pleased to have someone like her in their life. Besides, I have no chance with her. I'm nothing compared to her. She's like a goddess of celebrities. I'm way out of her league. I'm absolutely positive she will never love a guy who is like me. It would be a miracle if she did. Before, I even wished that miracle would come true.

Thanks for 500+ reads! You all make my day so much better so thank you. The feels are real dude. I'm like so conflicted with Lucas's situation and Finn and Millie's mixed emotions for each other. Also, let's be honest. Nick is literal Fillie trash.
