The Transfers

Chapter 28

Kristine's POV

It was only a few days before the Transfers left. I was texting Jack.

KRIS: hey. how's Finn?

JACK: still upset. you really did break his heart.

KRIS: I know. I feel terrible.

JACK: don't. He knows you're with the right guy now.

KRIS: tell him that's sweet.

JACK: no.

KRIS: why not???

JACK: because u need too. U have his number. Text him or something.

KRIS: I'd rather do it in person.

JACK: even better!

I felt bad. He was leaving, after all. I had offered Jack and Finn to come to the surprise, since I wasn't sure if they wanted to, and they declined. They were going to see their family back in the UK. They were going to miss out, that's for sure. But I respected their decision. I would want to go see my family too if I were them.

My phone buzzed. It was Taylor.

"Yes?" I asked.

"Ready to go decorate! You said you'd bring all the lights."

"Oh, yeah. Sure! The Harries are coming too, right?"

"Yep! And Dan and Phil! And Jenna Marbles!!"

"Jenna? She's going to be there?!"

"Yeah! She was doing a collab with Dan and figured she might as well come!"

This was going to be so cool! We said goodbye and hung up. I quickly threw all the decorations in my car and drove to the cafeteria.

Finn Harrie's POV

I didn't want to be here. Jack knew that. But he practically forced me into the car telling me that Kristine wanted to see me. I missed her so much already. But, I decided that I did want to see her one last time.

Oh well. I can suck it up for a few hours, right?

We pulled up into the school parking lot. I'll admit, I still liked Kristine. She was gorgeous and the fact she didn't know it or cared made her even prettier. My thoughts were interrupted when Jack shouted at me to get out of the car. As I walked towards the school, I saw Kristine enter with Dan at her hip. Gross.

That's when something inside of me clicked.

I was never going to see her again. I was never going to see her beautiful face ever.

I knew what I was going to do. It was dangerous. She could hate me forever after this. But I needed closure, and this was the only way.

I had to kiss her.

Kristine's POV

I gently sat the helium tank on the table. It was me and Dan's job to fill up all the balloons with helium and let them float to the ceiling. It was going to be hard not to suck the helium out, though. So tempting.

Anyways, there I was, digging around in all the boxes looking for the plastic packages of balloons. I heard footsteps behind me and turned around. I suspected that Dan was going to be there. I smiled as I turned and giggled as Dan kissed me. I shut my eyes and kissed backed. When I opened my eyes, I expected to see Dan's face.

Except I didn't see it.

My face fell.

"F-Finn?" I muttered. He stood there, smiling. I started panicking. Had anyone seen that? There was no one around. I spun around, Finn still standing there, smiling.

"Kris?" I heard a voice say.

But it wasn't Finn's

It was Dan's. Who was standing in the doorway, tearing up.

"Look, Dan, I-"

"No. You know what Kris? I knew it. I knew it all along." Dan shouted as he turned around and stormed off.

"Dan, wait!" I ran after him. He started running too.

"No. I see how it is. Just leave me alone!"

"Let me explain Dan! Please!" I stopped running. Dan ran to his car and slammed the door. I sat in the grassy area, far from the parking lot, sobbing. There was no point in reasoning.

I had lost his trust.

Then I realized, it wasn't my fault. It was all Finn's.
