YOUR POV

My chest sunk as I let out a shaky breath and my head hit my pillow which moulded around the weight. All the tension from today washed away with a single wave of relief.

 A soft knock sounded at my door and I sat up sighing "come in" the door was pushed open smoothly and my mother's head poked around the corner "house keeping?" she called with a gentle laugh.

 I smiled and patted the bed sheets next to where I sat "I just bought you a hot chocolate to let you know how proud I am of you for going out to do that exam today" she grinned handing over the warm mug "how many marshmallows?" I asked pretending to look stern "3 ma'am, just as requested" she changed back into character and stood up to do a brief curtsy 

"I giggled and hugged her warmly "thanks mum" "we're watching Stephen King's new movie down stairs if you wanna join us?" she pulled back from the embrace and held me at arms length "I know how you love horror and I promise you can hide with me when there's jump scares" 

"no thanks I'm pretty tired, I think I'll just call it a night" I chuckled causing her grin to widen as she retreated to the door "sleep well honey" I nodded before she pulled the door closed and I returned to my bed.

 I was about to take a sip of the hot chocolate when my phone screen lit up with a notification followed but a soft vibration, 

Unknown Number: Hey it's Finn

you changed Unknown Number to 'Finn 🐠'

You: Hey Finn, what's up

Finn 🐠: I couldn't find you on social media, what's your usernames?

You: Oh I don't use social apps other than text

Finn 🐠: that's weird, you should get instagram!

You: maybe

The truth was I didn't have social media because my therapist thought it might of been triggering my anxiety attacks because of all the 'pressure of being a teen these days' or some shit, turns out she was wrong because I still have them today but I got rid of instagram and twitter 2 years back and never bothered to download them again.

Finn 🐠: Hey I saw you at the exam today but you went all cinderella on me and ran away before I got to speak to you haha

Finn 🐠 changed your name to Cinderella 👠

Cinderella 👠: Oh yeah I finished early and it was so boring to sit there and do nothing, btw you and your girlfriend look cute together

Finn 🐠: what! she wasn't my girlfriend I only just met her, I like someone else

Cinderella 👠: oh so you flirt with every girl you meet, good to know

Finn 🐠: No! Y/N it's not like that you, you were different

Cinderella 👠: I bet you say the same line to every acquaintance, good night Wolfhard

Finn 🐠: Y/N! meet me tomorrow I'll explain
