The Next Step - Wondering (A Pinn Story)

Chapter 1

Chapter 1: The Kiss...

Piper's POV:

I walk into the locker room, ready to grab my stuff and go home for the day, then I see Finn sitting there.

"Pipes, we need to talk," he says.

Talking to him is the last thing I want to do right now. I've done so well avoiding him today and talking to him will ruin that. I need to get out of here.

"Uh, I have to go grab something in the studio," I say, as I turn around to leave. Wow, real smooth Piper.

"When Amy said you like me, was that true?"

Oh my God, no. This can't be happening right now. I just need to play it off as best as I possibly can.

I turn back around and say, "Come on Finn, really, you can't be serious?" I add a little laugh at the end to make it look believable.

"I am, I'm serious," he says, dead seriously.

I try to read him to see if there is any hint of the funny guy Finn is, but there is none. He is being 100% serious right now, in fact I have never seen him this serious ever. OK, it's game over, but that does not mean I can come clean.

"It's not important," I say trying to avoid the question and his gaze.

"Answer the question," he says firmly.

I look back up at him and sharply exhale. How am I supposed to get out of this? I have no choice but to come clean to him.

"Ye- yes," I say very hesitantly.

His response is something I didn't expect.

"Is it because I'm with someone else now? " he asks me, very bluntly.

"That's what I thought at first too, but-" I say, but he cuts me off.

"And how do you know it's not?" he asks.

I can tell he is hurt. He liked me for an entire year and now that he has finally moved on, I come and destroy that by finally liking him back. But, I have to tell him the truth, even if it hurts both of us, he deserves to know the truth.

"Because I do want to go to the movies with you. Because when we got into Dancemania, you were the first person I wanted to celebrate with and because you were the only person I wanted to talk to all day, but I couldn't, because I was avoiding you and I thought avoiding you would make my feelings go away, but it only made me miss you more and you're my best friend and it snuck up on me and I don't-"

Suddenly I feel like I am on Cloud 9, all my surroundings disappear, all the thoughts in my head are gone. Every fiber of my being, is screaming and reveling in this new experience. Finn's lips are everything I ever dreamed they would be. As I kiss back, I realize that I couldn't ask for a better first kiss. That is, until I realize Finn is still dating Amy. By the time I realize this, it's too late and Finn is already pulling away.

I am so in shock that I am unable to move. It's like my muscles have spasmed, forcing me to stay exactly as I was. Finn's hands are still on my face and my arms are wrapped around his back, both of us unable to move, due to the dawning reality that Finn is dating Amy.

What have we done?!?! This changes EVERYTHING!

I release my grip on his back and remove his hands from my face. I look up at him with disgust.

"How could you kiss me?" I yell at him, "You are with Amy, who is my best friend."

"Piper, I'm so sorry. It just happened," he said looking away so that I can't see the pained look in his eyes.

"What are we going to do?" he asked me.

I couldn't do this right now I had to get out of there. I looked up at him and shook my head. I walked to my locker and grabbed my stuff, looking back at him one last time before running out the room.

How am I going to tell Amy....
