rejection ➸ fillie

like a date?

noah knocked twice on my door. he got no answer for a couple seconds, so he knocked again, and again, until finally my mom opened up the door.

"hey noah." she said. "hi mrs. wolfhard. sorry i uh-" noah stopped himself, "is finn home?"

"yeah, he should be in his room," she said moving away, making room for noah to come in.

noah nodded, and gave a slight smile.

-

"finn," noah said as he opened his bedroom door - only to find him not in there.

"finn?" he said to himself looking behind the door, "the hell.."

noah walked all the way in and looked around, he wasn't worried though. more so annoyed, annoyed because he had a really good idea, and i wasn't even there to hear it.

-

"he's not in his room," noah said trotting down the stairs, "i think i might know where he went through." he stopped once he got to the bottom.

my mother sighed, "if you find him, tell him to come home please."

"sure, yeah."

-

"finn!" noah called out walking towards me. i rolled my eyes, "what do you want noah?" i asked, even though i didn't care for his answer.

"why didn't you tell me you were coming here?" noah asked. "i don't know-maybe this is the place i come when i want to be alone." i accentuated the word alone to try to get my point across, the park was kinda "my spot" i mean, i don't own it or anything, but i always come here during the night. i come here when i just want to think, and just be alone. i come here only during the night, it's empty during the night. not very much during the day.

"yeah alright, whatever, um.." he trailed off looking around, "yeah okay," he walked over and sat on the swing beside me.

"i have a great plan," noah started, "it'll help out both of us. so millie's friend, sadie, i am gonna ask her out–" and that's where i stopped him, or at least tried.

"noah s–" but then noah cut me off, "shh, just trust me, alright?" he said, "i'll ask her on a date to the movies or something, say something like, "maybe it can be a double date, it'll be less awkward." she'll bring millie, you'll go on a date with millie but you'll just be hanging out as 'friends' but then bam! you two are kissing in the back of the theater by the end of the night."

"noah, sadi–" noah cut me off again, "finn i already know what you're gonna say." noah said, " "noah, no please! i'm not ready to go on a date with her. oh please" " he tried to imitate me, he was doing a terrible job.

"you know what noah, you're right. you're so right, this is great plan." i lied, because well, if he wouldn't listen to me he's just gonna make a fool out of himself, "go for it."

"alright." he smiled, "well bye, nice talking to you i guess." and with that, he started to walk away.

"oh wait!" he turned around abruptly, "your mom wants you home soon."
