The New Guy: Finn Harries Fan Fiction *SLOW UPDATES*

Chapter 5

*Spencer's P.O.V*

I slowly opened my eyes to be blinded by the light streaming in the window. I groaned and sluggishly leaned up to pull over the curtains when my phone vibrated underneath my pillow. I quietly groaned again checking to see who had texted me and I smiled.

'Hey sorry it's early, wanna meet up? Finn xx'

I slowly typed back a reply, my brain gradually waking up, and hopped out of bed to get dressed. I slipped on my Batman t-shirt, black shorts and my black Vans and silently slipped out the door to meet Finn by the fountain. As I stumbled down the stairs I bumped into someone on the way.

"Sorry." I mumbled not even looking up and continuing down the stone steps.

"Hey Spencer." a voice I knew all to well whispered. His voice echoed through my head but I kept running, watching my feet.
"You know it's rude to ignore people" he said louder. I sped up and finally got to the ground floor, bursting through the door. I honestly felt like crying, just hearing his voice made me frustrated and upset but I just tried to put it behind me and shuffled towards the fountain.

"Hey Finn!" I yelled as I got close enough for him to hear me. He snapped his head up from his phone and flashed a bright smile towards me. I sat down next to him on the cold bench and he returned to staring at his phone. "What are you doing?" I asked my curiosity getting the best of me.

"Oh uh... Just texting my mum," he smiled again, slipping his phone into his pocket.

"So why did you want to meet me?"

"Just wanted to talk. You seemed upset yesterday when we arrived." he smiled gently at me.

"Oh yeah I- uh I'm fine. It was nothing." I stammered. I know he didn't believe me but he dropped the subject. We talked about random stuff for another thirty mintutes when Finn started moving closer and closer. He leaned forward but I panicked guessing what he was about to do. Hopping off the seat I quickly stammered, "I have to, um-" and I ran away from Finn, leaving him sitting alone and confused.

*Emma's P.O.V*

"Spencer? Spence?" I called around the library. I'd been looking for my friend for the past hour. I checked our dorm room, the cafeteria, her classrooms, nothing. I had no idea where she was. I kept walking around campus and slowly wandered down to the sports field. There, sprinting along the track, was Spencer. I sighed in relief and shuffled down to her. "Spencer!" I yelled. She snapped her head around and stopped running. When I eventually caught up to her, I saw her eyes were red and puffy and I knew she'd been crying. "Hey, what's up?" I sat down on the track waiting for her to sit next to me.

"It was... Finn." she folded onto the ground and hugged her knees. "He tried to... To... Kiss me." she whispered.

"What did you do?" I asked gently.

"I-I freaked out and ran off. It just reminded me so much of well... You know."

I did know. She was talking about Cody. He ruined her. But then a different thought popped into my head. "Do you like Finn?" I questioned eagerly.

"What?"

"Do you like Finn?" I reiterated.

Spencer shrugged. "I dunno. Maybe a little" A small smile crept onto her lips. I grinned back, my eyes wide in shock.

"Are you actually serious!" I squealed. She nodded slowly and I jumped up and screamed. I have waited ever since high school for Spencer to have a crush on another guy and finally it happened!

"But you are sworn to secrecy on this ok? Not a word to anyone, especially not Harrison ok?" Spencer folded her arms and raised her eyebrow. I nodded excitedly and she started running back up towards the University.

"Hey wait up!" I yelled after her. I do not run. If I do run, something is very wrong. So I slowly followed my friend up the stone steps.

*Spencer's P.O.V*

Once I had made it back up to my dorm room, Eliza was standing in front of her wardrobe in a swamp of clothes on the floor. She smiled at me as I walked through the door and I smiled back. I was about to go have a shower to freshen up when Eliza stopped in front of me and held up 3 different dresses.

"Which one? I really have no idea. I like this red one but the black one is like, 'Boys come and get it' and then the blue one is sexy and sophisticated but the green one makes me look really tanned," she rambled on. I chuckled to myself slightly before shrugging in response. I heard a groan before I locked the bathroom door and turned on the shower.

When I finally got out and changed into tracksuit pants and a pink hoodie, opened the door to see Emma finally back helping Eliza picking out a dress. "Hey! Get changed! You're coming too." Emma snapped before pointing to the red dress. "That one definitely." Eliza nodded and turned back to her wardrobe to find shoes and accessories.

"Hang on, where am I going?" I asked confused.

"To Kyle Wickham's party at his log cabin. You know the one in the woods." she murmured.

Kyle Wickham was in our year and was considered by most the coolest and hottest guy on campus. He was the son of one of the teachers and was loaded. Practically every girl - including Eliza- found him irresistible and practically threw themselves at him, which is why it made sense for Eliza to be freaking out about her outfit.

"I'm not going." I said lying down on my bed. Emma snapped her head around in shock.

"Yes you are. We are all going... So dry your hair and put this on." she through a dress at me and grinned, happy with herself before turning back to her wardrobe.

I rolled my eyes and shook my head. "I'm not wearing a dress."

"Wrong Spencer. You are. Now put it on." Emma warned.

I swore under my breath before returning to the bathroom to get done.

2 hours of brushing, waxing, pinning, tugging and spraying later, we were all finally ready to leave. Eliza had changed her mind and worn the black dress instead with gold coloured 6 inch heels and a gold necklace. Her blonde hair was down and curled at the tips. Emma was wearing a fluro yellow crop top tucked into a black high-low skirt with black strappy heels and I was wearing Emma's red and orange floral dress that had a white skirt and white pumps. Both mine and Emma's hair was straightened and mine was pulled into a side fishtail plait.

As we sauntered down the gravely path I could already hear loud banging music and bright lights were peeping through the trees. Once we arrived at the cabin, I saw people making out, others vomiting in the grass and an interesting game of spin the bottle being played on one of the picnic benches. Eliza had already disappeared, I assume to go find Kyle, and Emma had dragged me inside and thrust a red plastic cup full of a clear liquid into my hand.

I groaned. It was going to be a long night.
