~ school fools ~

winona gave him a hall pass to head back to class after he calmed down. but millie knew that finn didn't feel like being around people, especially not after he had cried. millie knew he didn't feel like being in the school.

so she followed as he went outside and headed towards his car. she knew all he wanted was to lay in bed at that moment and just forget.

suddenly, someone said, "hey,"

finn and millie both turned around unexpectedly. they saw wyatt walking towards finn. wyatt olef.

finn shifted uncomfortably, "hey,"

"i just got out of mr.heaton's boring ass lecture. wanna get out of here?" wyatt asked.

finn drew his eyebrows together, "like, with me?"

"yes, with you," wyatt replied quickly, laughing, his warm breath making fog in the bitter cold air.

he was being suspiciously nice. and genuine. that wasn't really the kind of person his was, at least, not according to finn.

millie knew him as a kind kid. he was always nice and considerate to millie. people always say how much of an ass he is, but millie never saw that side of him.

finn shoved his hands in his pockets and he bit his lip, "i mean i guess. denny's ok?"

~~~~~~~~~~

if there was anything millie remembered about denny's, it was that their service was so freaking slow. it was perfect for people who wanted to drag out their date or time to hang out in general. the food was okay, but most teens went to denny's because they have a concealed alleyway to smoke.

that's where they were now. in an alleyway behind dennys. wyatt pulled out two cigarettes and lighter. he offered one to finn.

finn scrunched up his nose but took it anyways.

millie bit her lip as she leaned against the brick wall. when she was alive, finn barely smoked. he told her that he hated the smell of the smoke because it would stick with him for days after one cigarette.

millie would know right away if he had smoked because she would smell it on his shirt or jacket when she pressed her head to his chest.

wyatt passed his lighter to finn after he lit his. as finn fiddled with it, trying to get a spark out of it, wyatt spoke up.

"you were with ms.ryder for a while," wyatt said, after blowing a puff of smoke.

finn looked up, "what? how do you know?"

"i'm in your physics class. you missed all of first period," wyatt said.

"well, why do you care?" finn asked defensively, tossing the lighter back to wyatt.

"i don't," wyatt said, "but there are some rumors,"

"about what?"

wyatt raises his eyebrows, " about you and ms.ryder,"

finn coughed, seeming to choke on his smoke, "that's disgusting. i'm going to her for counseling. plus, mr.harbour and her have a thing,"

"yeah," he said, "but no one knows what's going on with you. it's like your not here,"

finn looked off, blowing a puff of smoke, "i am but......."

"you miss millie?" wyatt completed.

finn nodded.

wyatt brought the cigarette from his lips, "um yeah. about her. i have something to tell you,"
