Infatuation (fack.) D I S C O N T I N U E D

i was extremely grateful, yet, so confused.  he was completely fine. wyatt and chosen didn't bother him at all, if it were me i would have been terrified. i was terrified. finn asked me if i wanted him to walk me home, i wanted to but i was afraid that my dad might see him. i decided to cross that bridge when i get there and let him walk me home. i stayed quiet and looked at my feet as i listened to him talk about how his day was and what not. i also thought about what happened. i loved listening to him talk, but i wanted to know why he wasn't upset at all.

"f-finnie..?" I said. He looked at me, his eyes shone and a grin spread across his face. his grin made me blush heavily, he looked so happy.

"that's my nickname? i love it. what's up?" i blushed even more if that was possible and nodded.

"h-how were you not upset back there? with wyatt and chosen" contrary to his nonchalant attitude, I was terrified for him more than me.

"oh no. jack. i was pissed. im pretty good at acting aren't, huh? but, either way they were just bullies. They don't matter to me. they shouldn't matter to you either."

"why were you m-mad?" finn kind of scoffed at my comment and i frowned. he ruffled my hair a bit.

"because youre my new friend and they were obviously messing with you. i also just hate bullying in general." i slowly nodded and for some reason only just realized that he obviously couldn't hear the marbles rolling around in my head, so i made a sound of agreement. 

"i'm excited to be your friend, jack. i just moved here and don't really know anyone, ya know?" i giggled a little and nodded.

"where did you live before coming to c-california?" i asked him and looked over at him.

"canada. it was nice up there but i love the sun and being able to walk to school, even though i didn't this morning. my mom drove me." it pained me to hear about a mom. he didn't know anything about me, or about what goes on in my mind, but that hurt more than anything.

i stayed quiet.

"and also i love how around here even though it's incredibly autumn like here, it's still sunny" he was right, i wanted to agree so bad, but i couldn't get myself to talk.

i stayed quiet again, and sadly it stayed like that until we got to the park that was close to my street.

"oh, this is the park i have to take my sister to later." he more or less said to himself.

"i live just on that street ohh and your street is right in front of mine!." i looked to where he was pointing and saw that his street was on the other side of the park right in front of my street. i smiled a but at this.

i sighed quietly as we turned onto my street, staring down at my feet, crunching every crunchy leaf I could. we were silent. it was oddly enough comfortable. as we started to walk up the driveway, i looked up to see my dad glaring me down through the window upstairs. When i got to the door i braced myself. i then remembered that finn was by my side.

"o-okay finnie, thank you so much for walking me but you have to go. i can't hang out sadly.. no one is home." he frowned a little but quickly replaced it with a smile. he handed me a slip of paper and ruffled my hair.

"see you tomorrow, jackie." i watched him walk away for a couple of minutes, taking in how he walked and the way he sashayed his hips. the way his long curly hair moved slightly with every single move he made. i blushed and shook my head of all the thoughts i was thinking. i stuffed the piece of paper in my pocket and braced myself for the full on collision that was about to happen.
