A new 'friend'

Dreams Tonite - Alvvays

I get changed out of costume, put on a cute outfit and tie my hair up before meeting up with my friends.

We all head to the ice cream place that's near set. When we get in we go to the biggest booth they have. I sit next to Jaeden when surprisingly Finn slides to sit on my other side. I look up at him and smile and for the first time he smiles back. I was about to say something when jack and the others bring the ice creams over, jack had got me my favourite,
"Aw thanks Jack" I say, grinning at him.
"Hey, no probs, but you owe me now" he laughs.
Everyone else starts on their own conversations, so I turn to face Jaeden. I haven't got to know him that well yet.

"So, how's life?" I say. God, why am I so awkward?
"Em yeah, it's good, how's yours?"
I laugh "going pretty well, I think"
He quickly says "actually, this may seem weird but I've been meaning to talk to you for a while now, so I'm just going to say it" he looks nervous.
"Go for it." I think I know what he's going to say and I get excited.
"Well ever since I spoke to you that first day I-" he looks around to see if anyone's listening before he carries on. He leans closer and says quietly in my ear "Well, I like you, and I was wondering if you wanted to maybe go on a date with me" he nervously looks at me, "I mean you don't have to, if you don't want to"
I grab his hand that was on the seat "I'd love to." He smiles at me, wow I can't believe he asked me out.
"Er, guys, I need to go" I turn around and see that Finn is making his way out of the booth grabbing his phone and bag.
"Wait Finn, what's u-" Jack asks but he's already gone. "That was weird" he says and everyone nods their heads in agreement.

~FINNS POV~

I have to get out of here. What the hell is wrong with me?
I didn't even hear what Jaeden whispered to her but seeing them holding hands makes me want to scream.
Is something going on between them?
And I shouldn't care but I do, I wish I hadn't pushed her away, I shouldn't care what other people say. And now I've blown it.

~YOUR POV~

You know what? I don't care that Finn left. I can just carry on talking to Jaeden and the others.

Ugh, who am I kidding? I want to run after him and ask him what's wrong and kiss him again, but I can't. I'm pretty sure he still hates me and I should focus on Jaeden now, he does like me after all.

But I just can't focus on him. It's like I have a huge Finn shaped cloud over everything else in my brain. He consumes all my thoughts, everything links back to him. I have no idea how to stop feeling like this.

Then it hits me. I have a total lightbulb moment. In movies the girl always tries to get over the guy by using someone else. Maybe Jaeden can help me forget about Finn.
I grab his hand "hey, can we go outside?" I whisper in his ear.
He smiles "anything you want" he says standing up. "Guys, we'll be back in a bit" he tells the rest of the group. Still holding hands, I drag him outside and round the corner, where no one can see us.
" So, why did you want to come out he-" I cut him off by smashing my lips against his, he seems shocked at first but then kisses me back.
"Are you ok with this?" I ask, breaking apart.
"More than ok." He laughs, kissing me again.

We carry on for a while, getting more and more intense, until we hear the others walking out the door.
"We should go" he says breathing heavily.
We walk and catch up with the others, he starts talking to the others like nothing happened. However I walk slightly behind, thinking about what I'd just done. I think I just started something that I didn't want. I thought that would've worked.

But I still want Finn 😫
