you hopped into finn's car and he drove to his house.
"are you sleeping over?" he asked you.
you looked at the time on your phone. 10:57.
"seems like it." you told him. you packed an extra pair of clothes earlier, having the feeling that you would be sleeping over.
"what do you want to do tomorrow?" he asked.
"i don't know, do you have anything planned?"
"no. lexi was telling me that she wanted to see me, but that's later on in the day."
"okay. so, i don't know, what do you want to do?"
"i don't know either. do you wanna just go to the movies or something?"
"okay. yeah, sure. sounds good."
as finn was driving, you paid attention to the road, when you thought he took a wrong turn.
"wait, finn, weren't you supposed to keep going straight? why'd you turn left?" you asked him.
"oh, no. i know what i'm doing." he told you.
you raised an eyebrow at him.
"okay then, finnlard." you said, still confused.
he arrived at the local park that you had so many childhood memories from.
"oh." you laughed.
"yep." he told you, grinning. you both got out of the car and stepped into the park.
"oh, my god. we haven't been here in years." you said, looking around, nostalgia hitting you.
"i know." he responded.
"that's why i..." he told you.
"what? what is it?" you looked up at him.
"no, i can't."
"tell me, finn."
"well, it's... it's why i..."
"I'M TAKING YOU BACK!" he started chasing you around the park.
"are you serious? i hate you!" you screamed, running away from him.
"love you too!" he said, out of breath, finally coming to a stop after a few minutes.
"y/n? where'd you go?" he asked.
you quietly hid behind a tree.
"y/n?"
you heard footsteps approach.
you saw him come to the tree, just as you jumped on top of him.
you bursted out into laughter. he started rolling down a hill, leading to a pond, with you still on his back.
you both screamed.
"finn! stop!" you held onto him tighter.
it was too late. you both fell into the pond, laughing. you immediately got out and tried drying yourselves off.
"what the hell just happened?" he laughed.
"i honestly don't know. what are we going to do?"
"let's just go home. nick's home, but my parents aren't."
"okay. i need to dry off."
"yeah. i can see that."
you went back into his car, being careful of your wet clothes and hair.
"i don't know why i thought this was a good idea." he told you.
you chuckled. "i don't know why anything you think of is a good idea."
he scoffed.
he pulled into the driveway and you got out of the car. you entered his house and ran up to the bathroom. you grabbed everything you needed from your bag and took a quick shower. you put on your pajamas, brushed your teeth, and exited the bathroom. you put down your things in finn's guest room.
you walked over to finn's room to say good night.
"night, finn. i had so much fun today."
"yeah, same." he said, running a hand through his wet hair.
"night, y/n."
you nodded and left his room.
you walked back over to the guest room and sighed. you sat down on the bed and thought about your feelings towards him. you knew he only thought of you as a friend, but you had always liked him, just a little. you thought of lexi, and the 5th grade dance. i'll never be as good as them. you thought to yourself. you climbed into bed and fell asleep, thinking about one thing. finn.
