A/N: I know Finn is Canadian but this story takes place in Santa Cruz, California. Because of the song reference lol. ENJOY!

(Y/N) POV

"Hey jerk." I said as I bumped into him.

"Hey dork." he said back, bumping into me even harder than I did.

Meet my best friend since pre-k, Finn Wolfhard. A caring, funny, sarcastic, talented boy. We met on the first day of school; we immediately clicked, just as you do when you're a kid. Fast forward a couple of years and here we are, on the first day back from summer vacation in this hell hole called school.

"Ready for the first day of many crappy days to come?"

"Oh, yeah! Can't wait." Finn said sarcastically.

We headed to the gym where our schedules were being handed out. While in line, Finn's girlfriend, Mariah, scooted in between us. She doesn't like Finn and I's friendship. She thinks we spend too much time together, it's platonic anyways I don't get what her deal is. We don't see each other that way, we're like brother and sister. Inseparable.

"Hey Finn! I texted you this morning why didn't you text back?" Mariah asked in her high pitched voice.

"I was barely alive this morning, I didn't get any sleep sorry Riah." Finn said to her.

"It's fine. I forgive you." she said with a smile and pecked his cheek.

She glared at me when he wasn't looking. I didn't say anything though. As long as he was happy I'm happy. Why ruin anything? We moved up in the line and got our schedules. Finn and I had half of our classes together. We had second, fourth, sixth, and eight period together. Sadly, we didn't have first period together. Instead I had it with Mariah.

"Why don't you and Riah go to class together? I'll see you two later." Finn said as he was getting ready to leave to his first period class.

I nodded and faked a smile for him. Mariah waved at him and glared at me when he left.

"Well come on then. Wouldn't want to be late now would we?"

I rolled my eyes and stayed behind a bit. No way would I want to associate with her.

-.-

After fourth period, Finn and I walked to lunch together. All of a sudden, Mariah came up to us.

"Hey Finn! Oh, hey (y/n). Anyways, I'm sorry but I'm going to sit with my friends today if that's okay. Okay, bye!" she said and ran off to her friends towards the front of the cafeteria.

He sighed and shook his head.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"I see the way she acts towards you, and I hate it. I wish Nick didn't practically beg me to stay with her because he's with her older sister." he explained.
(Nick is Finn's older brother I believe)

"How about I cheer you up? Sleepover sound good?" I said hopefully.

"Yeah, thanks (y/n) you always know what to do to cheer me up. I'll see you after eighth in the front? My mom will give us a ride to my house." he said.

"No prob bob."

-.-

After eighth period, I walked to the front of the school like we had planned. We've had sleepovers plenty of times, we even have our own cabinet at each other's houses. Our parents trust us enough to let us sleep in the same room. I saw Finn standing outside of his mom's car waiting for me. I walked up and got in the backseat.

"Hi Mrs.Wolfhard! How are you today?" I said with a smile.

"Hello (y/n)! I'm good thank you for asking."

We headed to his house and walked upstairs to his room. We did what we always do when we're together, play video games and eat junk food. We decided to play Mario Kart.

"You're so dead (y/l/n)." Finn said confidently.

"You sure about that Wolfhard? I am the queen of Mario Kart." I said as I nudged him with my elbow to mess him up.

It was a close one, I got second place. Finn threw his controller down and started mocking me playfully. I rolled my eyes and reached my hand over to the bag of chips. He then snatched it up and held it over me while standing on his bed.

"Finn come on I'm hungry." I said with a smile.

"Say I'm better than you at Mario Kart. Then maybe I'll consider giving the bag back." he said.

"No way, nerd." I said and jumped on the bed and reached for the bag.

We ended up chasing each other around the room for a solid two minutes. He still had the bag of chips. I was chasing him when all of a sudden, I tripped. I fell on top of him, our faces red and our eyes wide. I cleared my throat and brushed myself off. He held out the bag of chips.

"Here you go, bud."

"Thanks, bud." I said as I grabbed the bag from his hand.

I checked the time, 8:57pm.

"We should probably start getting ready for bed, you know the curfew." Finn said.

"Yeah, I'll get the sleeping bag and go to the guest room." I said as I walked off to his closet.

Before I could reach it, Finn grabbed hold of my wrist. I turned around to face him.

"Can you sleep in here please? I don't want to be alone you know? The first day of school always makes me gloomy." Finn asked.

"What are best friends for." I said with a small smile.

-.-

We both got into bed and faced opposite ways. We hadn't had a sleepover in a while because of Mariah. She kept making him ditch on me. I missed being able to hang out with him. Just as I was falling asleep, I heard Finn say something.

"What?" I said, more awake now.

"Thank you (y/n). You're the best." Finn said quietly.

I hummed happily in response and began to go back to sleep, awaiting the next day.

-.-
