The unpacking took 2 whole hours of hard work, sweat and misery. Finn was completely exhausted by the end of the dreaded task and craving a hot, steamy bath to calm his pounding muscles.
"You done?" Paloma stood against the door frame looking at the boy with a raised eyebrow.
"Yeah" He chuckles grabbing a shirt with some pants and a sweater to keep him warm after his bath. He walked towards the mischievous girl not noticing her foot that was carefully sticking out enough for the unsuspecting boy to fall.
Finn was a smart boy without a doubt, however, he wasn't observant. So you could probably imagine the hard slam his body had once it hit the ground as expected by the by-standing brunette. She chuckles looking at the boy that shrieked in pain.
"Rule number one, check your surroundings" she walked towards his figure lending him a hand. Finn-thinking it was a kind gesture- took her hand, of course being wrong, she dropped him again. "Two in a row, not even Jack fell for that one. Rule number two newbie, trust no one".
"Leave the boy alone Paloma, he's had enough" Noah helped the boy up with ease scolding his younger sister "it's his first day, go easy on him or you'll scare him away like Jacob" the girl rolls her eyes.
"First Millie, now you? He wasn't even that good a performer. We already have Sadie and her annoying voice for the singing" a pair of footsteps were heard from the room behind Paloma. The door opened revealing an annoyed Sadie.
"I heard that" Paloma snickered.
"Good" She smirked as the red head groaned and closed her door again "I'm leaving you two, I have some things to do" she tried walking away before getting yanked back by Noah.
"You aren't going to the pub again. I'm tired of having to pick you up drunk and having to deal with your hang overs on show days" the girl groaned snapping her arm out of his grip "you don't even have the legal age to drink" she laughs at his statement.
"That didn't stop you when you were my age, did it?" Paloma walked away leaving a furious Noah and a confused Finn behind.
"Look, Finn, I'm sorry but I have to go" the black haired boy nodded at the older one as he walked away to his room.Finn knew better than to deal with an angry person, mostly if they were twice as strong as him.
He turned around and started walking aimlessly towards the bathroom. He walked for a few minutes before realizing he didn't exactly know where everything was located meaning he was lost. He walked some more halls before finding a door, hoping someone slept in there. He knocked and waited a few seconds before a short haired red head appeared from the door.
"Uhh, the stage is downstairs" she inspected the boy. She found him cute.
"No, actually, I'm new, my name's Finn. I was wondering where the bathroom is?" The girl laughed.
"Oh sorry, I forgot you where coming today. I'm Sophia, I'll guide you" he nods stepping back as she exits the room closing the door behind her "you must be pretty lost to end all the way over here from the main wing" he furrowed his eyebrows in confusion at the words spoken.
"Main wing?" She nodded.
"We're separated in wings. That" she points her index finger towards a hallway "is the storage wing. There we keep props and costumes" he nods inspecting the area she previously mentioned "Your wing is all the way past the storage wing. The bathroom is a few doors down Millie's. Her's is the bright pink decorated door" bathroom. Millie's Bright pink door. Finn mentally broke down the key words to Sophia's explanation. The pair walked a few more halls before stopping at the bright pink door Sophia said belonged to Millie.
"Thanks, I'll see you around" Finn smiles at the girl as she walks away. She was cute.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't little Finny boy flirting with Hoephia" Finn sighed as he looked at the all-too-familiar girl.
"Don't you have anything better to do?" She puts her hand on her chin 'thinking', after a few seconds she looks back at the boy.
"No, not that I remember" Finn rolls his eyes entering the bathroom.
He turns on the water preparing for his long awaited shower. He could already feel the waves of relaxation until a noise interrupted his thoughts.
"Are you seriously here? I'm going to take a bath. Privacy, please" Finn glares at the girl.
"Guess what idiot, this is a public bathroom" Paloma rolls her eyes turning on the water a few showers down from Finn. Luckily, they had curtains surrounding them so neither of them could look at their bodies. Finn entered the shower still glaring at the smirking girl. He knew he was giving her what she wanted, but how could he not get annoyed with her simple presence?
A few minutes or 48 to be exact had passed since the boy entered the shower. Paloma had ended 10 minutes before exiting the bathroom without a word exchanged between the pair since their recent conversation.
Finn thought about Paloma. She was way too annoying and sassy for his liking, but something about her caught his attention. He couldn't put his finger in it because he simply didn't know what it was. He liked Sophia matter-of-factly and he came to terms with it pretty soon after their encounter. She was fun, friendly and helpful and to him those were amazing qualities, and her looks were just a big ol' bonus. Paloma had the looks and beyond but he wasn't convinced about her personality. Maybe he just had to get on her good side? Maybe her personality was like that? Who knew.
He gets out of the shower wrapping a towel around his waist. His dark, messy curls stuck to his wet forehead causing a slight itch to annoy him. He walks out of the bathroom speed walking towards his room trying to get dressed as soon as possible due to the cold air and that he wasn't comfortable flashing everyone his little friend. Finally, he arrives at the room getting dressed in the outfit he previously chose slouching on his bed.
His eyelids felt tired and heavy, he was way too sleepy to function so he decided to have a little nap.
Author's note:
Okay so this ending was shit but I was dragging the chapter way too long and I want to keep them 1000-1100 words long. Also I tried for the first time 3rd person writing and I really liked it so I'm going to experiment with it a bit more. I hope you guys liked it!
