Wrapped Around Your Finger (DISCONTINUED)

Chapter 7: Hope

-.-

"I believe you know why we called you in here today Ms.(l/n)."

"No, I don't actually." I lied. I knew exactly why I'm in here. F*cking snitch.

"Ms.Richardson claims you assaulted her yesterday. The bruises on her face and her broken nose are being seen as proof."

"How do you know it was me? For all you know she could be lying to you Mr.Franklin."

He turned his computer screen around and showed me the video footage of me and Mariah fighting.

Sh*t

I sighed and slouched in the chair.

"You know what this means, Ms.(l/n). Detention for three days. No excuses. This isn't your first fight here, you should know the consequences."

Did I mention I used to be a bit of a trouble maker?

"Yeah yeah yeah." I rolled my eyes.

He dismissed me and I began walking down the hall. The bell had just rang. I walked by Mariah, her face looks like it's been dragged and slammed on the concrete. Serves her right. I scoffed as she stared me down and continued on my way to class.

-.-

"And now I have detention for three days starting tomorrow. Which means," I dragged out the s, "I have detention Saturday. Sorry Finn, maybe after detention?" I explained over FaceTime.

"It's cool, we're having a sleepover anyways. Sorry about the whole detention thing though, rough. What'd I tell you about fighting though?" Finn said.

"Nobody's ever worth it." I said in an annoyed tone.

"How's being without me? You miserable yet?" I joked.

"Totally. No, but actually it kinda sucks." Finn said with a shy smile.

"Same here."

"Hey, I love you."

"I love you too."

FaceTime call ended

-.-

I sat down on (y/friend) bed and sighed. I need their advice. They always know what to say.
( using gender friendly pronouns aye change them if you want )

"Do you think he means it though?" they asked.

"I don't know! I hope so, but is it really just platonic or does it mean something more to him too?" I asked.

"You guys have been real close, closer than we are. Just ask him (y/n)! Your friendship is strong enough to withstand any possible awkwardness."

"I reallyyyy want to tell him but I don't even know myself. I think I should put it off until I know what I want completely."

"Do what you want, but if he scoops some other girl up before you even get the chance it's on you." they said as they put their hands up.

I sighed and got ready to leave.

Maybe they're right.

-.-

I placed my skateboard by my bedroom door and closed it. I'm dreading these next few days so much. Detention sucks a*s. My phone ringed loudly, bringing me out of my thoughts. It's Finn.

"What's up frog face?"

"Rude. I just wanted to see what you were up to. So, what are you up to?"

"Nothing, just dreading these next few days. What about you?"

"Hanging out with one of my possible future cast members. Her name's Millie, want to say hi?" Finn asked.

"Yeah sure."

Why am I jealous? It's not like he likes her...or me. He barely knows her, there's nothing to worry about. Hopefully.

"Hi! I'm Millie, what's your name?" she said enthusiastically.

"Hi, my name's (y/n)! I'm Finn's best friend." I introduced myself.

We talked for a while, she seems pretty cool.

"Well nice to- well sort of meet you!"

"Nice to sort of meet you too Millie!"

After we caught up a bit, it was time for Finn to go. I said my usual goodbye to Finn and a regular goodbye to Millie.

I really hope he doesn't like her.

-.- ( don't hate me for that btw it's Saturday now )

Finn never called me after that. I guess he got busy. I'm sure he's fine, he's not mad at me. I hope. This is the most boring day of my life. Detention sucks, especially on a Saturday. The classroom was nearly empty besides three other students. I can't believe they didn't give Mariah detention, she started it. Shows how a rich family can get you out of anything.

"Can I go to the restroom please?" I asked in the nicest way possible.

"Go ahead, you got five minutes."

I sped out of the class and headed to the girls' restroom. I grabbed my phone out of my pocket and texted Finn.

Y/n: Finn are you okay?

Finn: Yeah I'm fine, why?

Y/n: We haven't spoken since Wednesday, I thought I did something wrong

Finn: I'm so sorry, I got real busy and had tons of things to do! I'm almost home though, I'm at the airport rn actually. Meet me at my place when you get out!

Y/n: Wait Finn how did it go? Did you get it?

"Really?! Wow." I said and checked the time.

Shoot I gotta go before I get in trouble

I sped back and sat back down at my desk. The teacher eyed me suspiciously and continued reading her newspaper. Who still reads newspapers?

The teacher finally let us go after about an hour. I grabbed my skateboard and skated to Finn's. I decided to call him. It rang and rang for what seemed like hours. No answer.

I finally reached his house and knocked excitedly. I heard loud, fast footsteps and a "I got it!" from the other side of the door. As soon as Finn opened the door we attacked each other in a hug.

"I missed you so much!" he said into my hair.

"Me too."

We headed upstairs and sat on his bed. He began talking to me about his trip and rambled on for a while. I couldn't take it anymore.

"Did you get the part?!" I yelled.

"I got it."

I smiled and attacked him in another hug. This hug lasted longer than the last.

I never want this to end.
