All Because of a Tampon // Finn Wolfhard

Chapter Five

Chapter Five: Awkward Moments and Awkward Feelings

It's been a couple days since I've talked to Finn. I've had a hard time getting my mind off of him, and I don't know what to do anymore.

Since I can't focus on anything in school, here I am, sitting at my desk locked away in my room, desperately trying to get something done. Productivity just can't seem to find me; so I scroll through Instagram and stare at the picture Finn tagged me in for the millionth time.

@ finnwolfhardofficial sent you a message.

I stare at the Instagram notification in shock. What does he want? He was rude, then he was nice, then he was rude again and now he's messaging me? Hesitantly, I click on the notification and open up the direct message.

@ finnwolfhardofficial:
hey i'm sorry for being an ass the other day that wasn't cool of me

@ danimacallaster
yeah it wasn't exactly great when you were nice to me then suddenly you told me to shut up

I roll my eyes. Who does this idiot think he is? He's being so bipolar; maybe he's the one on his period.

@ finnwolfhardofficial
yeah, i feel really bad. do you accept my apology?

@ danimacallaster
sure

@ finnwolfhardofficial
good
so i was thinking... we should go get frozen yogurt tomorrow after school. you up for it?

Um, what? Finn Wolfhard? Asking me to get frozen yogurt tomorrow? What the fuck is going on, and what the fuck is this boy doing to me?

@ danimacallaster
yeah ok
where do i meet u?

@ finnwolfhardofficial
front doors after school?

@ danimacallaster
alright sounds good

@ finnwolfhardofficial
see you then b❤️

Why is he calling me that? I shake my head. Does Finn Wolfhard like me?

I laugh out loud at that crazy thought. There's no way. Why would someone so popular like Finn, think that I, Danielle Macallaster, the girl who is not popular at all, is dateable? I smile at myself for my crazy conspiracy. It's not possible.

• The Next Day •

I glance at the clock, getting more nervous by the minute.

"Danielle Macallaster, are you even close to being finished your assignment?" My science teacher, Mrs. Hunter asks me.

I roll my eyes. When will she learn I prefer to be called Dani?

"Yeah," I reply simply.

"Good. Now let's hurry up, it's almost the end of the day."

3:09. Just six more minutes and I'll be meeting up with Finn. My heart beats a little faster.

I put away my booklet filled with impossible science questions and close my binder.

3:10. Five more minutes.

Is this really happening? I pull out my phone to cope with the anxiety I feel.
