I'm a waste of time and space | Fillie (Complete)

Chapter VII

This wasn't good. This wasn't good at all. She wasn't here. What if she got kidnapped? What if she was dead?! RING

'Hey Finn, sorry I'm not at school today. Sick :('

Oh, she was just sick.

'You overreact too much. You don't see her for five minutes and you panic? God you're pathetic.'

'Get better soon :('

Well today was going to be interesting. It's been a while since he'd gone to school without being with Millie. She had just become a constant for him. It was as if all the furniture in his mind was shifted an inch, everything was the same but something felt wrong.

Finn made his way through his classes and even making it through lunch, although the loneliness was not something he missed anymore. By his last class the day had gotten boring so he asked to go to the bathroom.

Walking around the school was therapeutic. When the halls were empty it felt like you could rule the place. Finn's thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a voice behind him.

"Hey Wolfhard! Think I forgot what you did?"

Finn whipped his head around to find the source of the voice. And of course it had to be Troy, the day just had to get better didn't it?

"What're you talking about?" Finn asked in his best attempt at an innocent voice. But the lie was still noticeable.

"Oh I think you know what I'm talking about. And I bet you thought you'd get a way with it, didn't you? Nice try." Troy said as he walked closer.

Finn got in a defensive stance, not wanting to fight but realizing it might come to that. "Look man I don't want to fight you. What do you want?" He said trying to defuse the situation.

"Don't worry, there won't be a fight." Replied Troy as he swung at Finn's head. Finn was lucky enough to dodge it but he didn't see the second fist coming for his stomach. The blow was enough to knock the wind out of him but he was still able to stand.

Realizing he had no other choice, Finn swung back. He landed a hit on Troys face, but only enough to make him angrier. Troy swung back, this time connecting with Finn's face. Finn stumbled for a second, losing his bearing of where he was.

Before he could defend himself he felt Troy punch him in the stomach again, this time knocking Finn down. As Finn sat against the wall he looked up at Troy, just in time to see a him get knocked down as well. His rescuers began punching and kicking Troy as he lay on the ground until they felt he'd been dealt with.

They turned around giving Finn a clear look at their faces, it was Caleb and Gaten. Finn had never talked to them much besides a class he'd had with them here or there, but he knew they were friends with Millie. Caleb offered a hand to Finn which Finn accepted. Gaten brushed Finn's shoulder of any dust that had gotten on him.

"Are you okay man? Your eye looks messed up."

Finn hadn't noticed the pain he felt in his eye, most likely thanks to the adrenaline coursing through his veins.

"Yeah I think so. Thanks a lot guys, but why'd you help?"

Gaten and Caleb snickered before looking back at Finn and responding.

"Well the boyfriend of our friend is our friend so we decided to step in."

Finn's cheeks grew redder than ever at their comment.

"I'm not her boyfriend, just a friend. But thanks."

Gaten and Caleb laughed as they began walking away.

"Whatever you say, but everyone sees the heart eyes you guys make at each other when the others not looking. Just don't break her heart dude."

Finn began walking back to class before school ended, thoughts running through his head.

'Does she really make heart eyes at me?
No she wouldn't, she's way out of your league man. They're just getting your hopes up.'

Finn started thinking about Millie then he remembered she was sick. Then he had the best idea he'd had in a long time.
