Bad habits

'Sorry to sound like Cinderella.'

'Please can we meet him!' Cassie is now jumping up and down like a flappy bird.

'Why?' Esme is struggling to understand why cassie wants to meet Finn so much. To be very honest, I'm confused my this too.

I have spoke on the phone to him once and we occasionally have a little chat. He said happy birthday to me. However I am not fussed if I meet him. Would be nice but oh well.

I am now playing with glow sticks and watching the fireworks with Amber whilst Esme and Cassie debate about me and cas meeting Mr. Actually what's his last name. I think it's something starting with a h?

' because es I think I like him and I want to put a face to the name and voice' Cassie half whispers to Esme. I bite back my laugh. I see now.

To be honest Cassie likes someone new every week. Esme decided to just butter her up.

' he will be here soon. If we see him, we see him. If we don't, we don't.'

Cas nods in agreement. We all continue to watch the fire works. The girls parents are off standing else where. Once the fireworks finished and my glow stick had popped. We went on a hunt for es's mum and dad because we wanted donuts and hot dogs.

We was almost near the exit about to go home, I was shovelling a hotdog down my throat when Esme said

'Stop, Finn said he's behind us. You guys can meet him now'

Great. Bread hanging out my mouth. I quickly sort out my face and adjust myself. Why am I suddenly so nervous? Cas likes him. She should go get him. I don't care what he thinks of how I look, or do I?

'Oh god Annie, here he comes' Cassie was no annoying me.

'Hey guys, so nice to finally meet you girls' Finn says, his voice sounds different when not through a phone. I like it. Also I want to touch his hair. He is so tall. I like it all.

Stop analysing him Annie!

I manage to get a hey out very proudly after Cassie had stopped going on. She said something along the lines of,

'Hello Finn, it's nice to meet you. You look good oh dear I shouldn't of said that' then continued to talk about something. I was just staring at him. His eyes were beautiful.

After I said hey we was interrupted by his mum coming over and telling him off for hanging back and told him to hurry up. I pulled my lip into my mouth so I didn't burst out laughing at mummy's boy. Not going to deny it, it was funny and really cute. She gave us all a wave. She's nice.

When we realised we actually had to stop standing in everyone's way and leave we all walked to the exit.

Finn hugged Esme goodbye, which was expected they were friends. Cassie jumped at the chance of hugging him. I was going to walk away when I heard.

'Annie don't you want a hug'

YES I WANT A HUG.

I shrugged and laughed saying

'Alright then Finn' our hug was odd because he was quite a bit taller than me. He smelt really good. Also, my predictions were correct. His hair was very soft. Our hug felt long but not long enough. After I pulled away we parted and we all jumped back into the car to take me and Cassie home. As soon as we was in the car the music was back on and I was back to bantering with Esme's dad. Still not knowing if his joke to through me out the car because I mocked him for saying 'pals' was a joke or not. He looked like a serious man. Cassie on the other hand, and side of the car was texting Finn and cooing over the fact he said she looked nice. This bored me. Yes, he's a nice guy but he would never like someone like me anyway I don't think I'm ready for anything right now. I only just for some new friends. I pushed the event of meeting this boy to the back of my head. Even if it did feel like the fireworks from the display were still going on. Sorry to sound like Cinderella.

Once I got home, my house was Empty so I has a shower, leaving my phone on charge and then jumped into bed.

Feeling all fresh and snuggled under my covers I feel my phone vibrate

*hope you had a good day* Esme is so sweet.

*yes I did thank you, I'm very lucky to have a friend like you* I reply.

Cassie was obviously texting lover boy.

*you're very good looking, talk to me more annie*

I kinda feel my heart flip. I know he is probably texting having some emotional chat with Cassie of her confessing feelings and he's texting me to be kind. However, I can't stop the smile coming onto my face.

*i will, however I don't want to get in the way of cassies chances* proud of my reply even if I did sound a little jealous.

* Annie it's not like that. Seriously, text me more * hmm okay.

* if I get time * pretending I have such a busy life.

*oh because your life must just always be so busy* so he follows my sarcasm. I am starting to like this kid even more.

* yes and right now my plans say it's time to sleep * seriously I needed to sleep.

* fine, night night sleepy head* I lock my phone after reading this and go off into a nice sleep.
