Y/N's POV

I thought of Finn the whole weekend. My thoughts paced; Did he get home safe? Was he caught? Will I see him today?.

God. What if I see him today.. I look terrible. Being in a strict catholic school and trying to not to look like a corpse every morning was a struggle. I popped in a pair of silver hoop earrings and rolled my skirt up slightly as I leaned on my locker, beside Blake and Drew who chatted aimlessly, hoping a teacher wouldn't walk past and give me a uniform violation. I open my locker, pulling out my books for next lesson along with sneaking a cherry cola into my bag, to make the lesson more bearable. Tanner rushes down the hall, his hair disheveled and forehead slick with sweat. I raise an eyebrow.

"Alarm didn't go off by any chance?"

He just rolls his eyes and joins the circle.

Finn's POV

Jack and I walk into the halls exhausted. I was not used to waking up so early. I groan and rest my head against the lockers.

I had told Jack about Y/N over the weekend.

"Guess who" Jack nods towards the lockers opposite. I was too tired to even notice Y/N was with her bandmates, packing her bag for class. Immediately I brightened up, standing straight and tall.

"Go talk to her" He urges me. I shake my head and observe her from a distance, her demeanour appears to be shyer and more reserved than it was at the party.

Her face is bare, free of the glitter that once adorned her cheeks. She appears fresh faced, her cheeks soft and plump, as are her lips. Her beauty is striking, how I had not noticed her beauty before is beyond me. Jack continues nudging me as I gaze at her. I finally muster up the courage to talk to her and approach, manoeuvring between the river of students sauntering down the corridor.

I smile with false confidence, in an attempt to be suave.

Y/N's POV

"Hey"

That was all. I turn and see Finn beside me. Wait. Finn? Oh God Finn. I run my hand through my hair in an attempt to revive its flatness.

"Finn..Hi" I respond meekly.

His ample lips spread to form a wide toothy smile as he stuffs his hands in his pockets awkwardly.

"I didn't get the chance to say how great you played the other night.. I mean.. you on guitar" He specifies.

I smile greatly in response, fiddling with my hoop earring to satiate my nerves.

"We have another gig soon." I stated "In a proper venue this time". I blush thinking of the crude unsophistication of our party performance.

"I'll be there." He states straightforwardly.

I grin wider at his response and nod almost with eagerness.

"I can message you the details..? I'll give you my number after school. My phones dead at the moment" The perfect set-up to get his number. Excitement rushes through me.

He nods in response. Perfect.

"We'll meet here after school" He says firmly and with confidence.

Before I can speak, Drew interjects.

"Y/N we have band practice after school, so don't forget it!" He playfully winks and walks off to class.

Was he listening to us? I brush it off and look to Finn once again, who's face displays a sudden expression of .. jealousy?

"Yeah, meet here." I agree quickly. "See you in science later!" I attempt in being enthusiastic

He gives a slight half smile and a nod.

"Yeah.. see you."

After he turns and leaves for class I do the same. I mentally run over our conversation out of nervousness, afraid I had said something wrong as his tone changed. Sighing to myself I enter the history class room, sit at my desk, pull out my books and pop open the can of cherry cola. 

((A/N Wow 40 reads I'm shook already. I hope you guys are enjoying it so far! The song is meant to be how Finn views Y/N and I also wanted it as a prop in the scene I guess. Thank you to msmonet0920 who voted my last 3 chapters! <3 ))
