Double Trouble (A Jack and Finn Harries FanFiction)

Chapter 20

After putting on my clothes, a T-Shirt from a Bastille concert and a pair of jeans, I tied my hair quickly into a bun and grabbed my bag. Finn was sitting on Jack's bed, his feet moving back and forth like a toddler. He looked up at me and smiled innocently.

        "Ready to go, love?"

        "Yeah, whatever," I muttered as we walked out. I still have a grudge on him for what he did. Honestly, ditching me when he's about to ask me out (at least I think he was gonna ask me out), and then sneaking into my shower when I only had my towel on. Who does he think he is?

My mind replayed the scene again, reminding me of Finn's gorgeous features. I felt myself soften up thinking about all the positive things about Finn, but I shook it off, asking myself some questions.

Suppose Finn and I were dating. Would he ever ditch me for another girl, and then sneak back?

I sulked gloomily thinking of that. But I thought again. Finn really doesn't seem like that kind of person. Then again, I've only known him for what, like, a month? How could I tell?

As we walked through the halls to the elevator, I turned around once to see if Finn was still behind me. Not that I cared or anything...

"You look beautiful today, you should wear a bun more often, love." He flashed a smile.

"Where's Jack?" I asked, completely disregarding his compliment.

He frowned, but responded, "Downstairs getting a coffee. Would you like one, love? Maybe if we have time after the lecture, we could grab..."

"I don't want one, thank you." I turned around, briskly walking ahead to press the down button.

"Alright then, suit yourself."

The elevator doors opened and we both stepped in. The ride down was quiet, and I could feel his gaze resting on me. I found sudden interest in the elevator floor, and decided to look at that for a while.

We stepped out and I began to walk faster to the canteen to find Jack. We were already so late, I didn't see the difference in walking faster to get to class after this.

Once we entered, we saw Jack sitting, one hand holding the coffee and the other drumming against the table. His leg was restlessly tapping the floor, and he turned around to see us, and gave a bright grin.

"Finally, I thought you guys would never show up!" He smiled at me, and I returned one as I gave him a big hug.

"Thanks for letting me use your shower, Jack."

"Anytime, anytime." He winked and I laughed. "Do you want a coffee?"

"Oh, no thanks, Jack, I don't have much of an appetite."

"Want a sip?" He held out his cup for me and I took it and drank a small sip. It felt good to have coffee after such a long time.

After Finn grabbed a coffee, we began walking to our Graphic Design lecture today. Most of us had finished a lot of the project, so we were each presenting our midway work. When we arrived, the room became pin-drop silent and everyone was watching us. I blushed and looked down; I hate when this happens.

The professor looked at me, eyes asking for an explanation. "And why have you arrived so late?"

"Um...."

"Had a rough morning, kinda woke up late and couldn't get a proper breakfast. Sorry about it professor, we'll make it up next time." I looked at Jack, mouthing 'thank you'.

He mouthed back, 'no problem', and smiled. We went to go sit in our usual seating next to each other, except this time I chose to sit next to Jack while Finn sat on the opposite side of Jack.
