lost my head

Twelve.

I accept the deal with Cady. I trust her ninja moves. All I do is to follow her rules to have a successful plan for our group.

When we were in cabin, she told me if Finn says anything not good to us, I shouldn't listen. Because Finn as usual is worried and afraid. All we have to do is to be there for him and got his back as always.

By the time Cady and I came to the convention. Elle saw us late.

"Why in the world you two are late? Did you know that we need your help?" Elle attacking us.

"Uhh..." said Cady

"What'd you brought?" she furrows. "God!" she puts her arms on her waist "don't tell me--"

"Uhm..something stupid" I suddenly speak

Elle paused and looks at me deeply, "If that thing will be the reason of our bad luck, I swear to the both of you--"

"Promise we won't do anything so--so stupid." Cady gave her a sweet smile.

We cover each other to Elle. Obviously, this plan is exclusively just the two of us. This will be a dilemma if Elle would know about this especially she's one of Finn's assistant.

I will be surprise if Finn would pick me to be one of his assistant because of all members he picked me. However, I'm even more surprise now that he didn't pick me because he always do. Whether I know the rules and regulations or not.

"Go to our side and help Finn. He's exhausted since yesterday, I swear!" Elle heave and close her eyes then walk out.

Cady and I look at each other then laughs, "He really is" I say.

I saw Finn talking to Keith's girlfriend that I saw on first day of selling. I knew it. They were friends. Except that Finn looks upset talking to her.

When suddenly the girl walks out, I come near to the problematic boy.

"Hey Finn!" I poke his shoulder, he looks at me.

"Alan!" he furrows. Unusual reaction of him. "Isn't that you're supposed to be here at 3?"

I look at my watch "Yeah, it's 10 am."

"So why you here? Early bird." he continue organize his products.

"Just want to help. And..experiencing what you're doing."

"I get it but you don't have to help us, we're full here."

"You seem upset" I said serious tone. "You're acting so so strange Finn" I say, he furrows once again. "Don't take it too bad, I'm just worried. As your friend..well not. As your member, I understand your endlessly work and you're tiredness a-and..you're drained! But..will you please stay what you were because I'm starting to freak out." I exclaimed.

He turned around and take more paintings under the table, "I can't answer that."

"I didn't ask anything to you sir."

"Certainly! You didn't ask anything that's why I can't answer what you said..." he growl and stop doing whatever he was doing. He's completely strange! Abort mission. This is so scared. What if he blow up about our plan? He will be deadly deeply mad.

"Oh now you're really really--"

"Alan. Not now please, really. I'm sorry but not..right now!" he leave me the booth alone. I didn't had a chance to ask if who is this blonde girl he talked.

Finn Davies. This is crazy. Telling he don't need my help but he walks out and let me handle this booth. I miss the old Finn who grins at me whenever he sees me. So yeah, it takes some of the freaking sense of avoidance of hating him.
