Bad habits

"Okay Finn that is very weird. Stop it."

Finns PoV:

'Finn are you coming to the fireworks?' My mum shouts up the stairs.

I guess. It's better then sitting in alone on the last Saturday of half term. I'm ready anyway.

I go downstairs and finish getting ready then leave with my family to go watch the fireworks display. I wonder if anyone I know is going. I take out my phone whilst sitting in the car and decide to upload a status asking who is going. Within seconds I get a message from Esme telling me her and her friends are going. I look at her status and see she is with Annie and Cassie.

Cassie and I have been talking a lot lately, she is always messaging me. Annie on the other hand has only spoken to me less times than I can count on one hand. Well if I see them it will be nice to meet the girls.

The fireworks display is alright, we get up close to the big fire and I get to watch it burn. It's quite funny they put a human sized dummy at the top and burn that. Makes me laugh. I like feeling the heat from the fire too, considering it's freezing.

I see a lot of people walking around with glow sticks and the child in me really really wants one.

Once the fireworks have finished and the fire has all burnt I head towards to hotdog line. It's long but I'll wait. I'm always hungry.

Just as I'm walking towards to gate finishing up my hotdog I downed in seconds are waiting for what seemed like hours I see Esme and her friends. I shout after her. she don't hear me but I can see she is on her phone so I text her saying wait up. She turns around and notices me.

Her sister Amber has walked off towards her parents. Cassie is stood beside her looking like she is about to burst from excitement, well some people do love fireworks, and Annie is standing behind looking kind of lost.

'Hey guys so nice to finally meet you girls' I finally reach them.

I get a little hi and a smile from Esme before Cassie jumps in being very loud and boisterous.

'Hello Finn, oh my god it's so nice to finally meet you, I am so happy right now, you look good, did you like the fire works' at this point I just continue nodding and drift off to why the girl in wooly leggings has not said hi yet. She still looks lost. Is she okay?

She finally speaks when I think Cassie has given up. All she says is 'hey' and smiles. Not a little smile but a full teeth, big cheek smile I almost hear a little giggle.

She's staring straight at me.

I'm starting straight at her.

It's dark but I can see her eyes are beautiful, but they show so much sadness.

Her hair is cool. I want to touch it.

That's weird right?

I bet she smells nice.

Okay Finn that is very weird. Stop it.

I can't. We are literally staring into each overs eyes.

'Finn can you hurry up we are waiting to leave'

Thanks mum for coming in and ruining the moment. Actually yeah thank you. It was getting a little odd.

'Yes mum I am coming I'll meet you at the car' I say looking my mum in the eye.

And with that she waves to the girls and walks away.

I could see Annie biting her lip to stop herself from laughing at me. Wow great way to look like a mummy's boy Finn. I couldn't help but laugh at the way she stopped and looked quite scared when she noticed I had realised she was laughing at me.

All four of us start to walk to the exit. Once we reach there we realise we have to go separate ways. We say goodbye with hugs which is nice. Hugs are always nice. Esme hugs me goodbye, then Cassie. Then they walk away.

Hey! Wow wait.

'Annie! Did you not want a hug' I can't help the grin on my face from growing. Smooth. Kind of.

I think she says alright. She walks towards me looking very flushed by my gesture and gives me a hug anyway. Before we hug she looks very uneasy and still quite lost. She has to go on her tip toes to put her arms around my neck. She is so tiny. I like that.

I was right, she smells really nice. The hug was long but not long enough.

As we walk away I realise I have to get to know this girl but I'll wait for her to text me.

Meeting her for the first time was nice, I don't want to sound all soppy but I think the fireworks were still going on when we locked eyes. Oh dear I think I just developed a vagina for a second there.

Before I even get home Cassie texts me then I spend at least 2 hours having mind numbing chats with her about how I thought she was good looking and she's hinting feelings for me. It's awkward.

I'm not saying she is ugly. She's a good looking girl just not my type.

When thinking of my type and feelings I find myself caving and texting Annie.

Our conversations are cool and full of laughing faces and raised eyebrows. She's a feisty girl.

However the banter she carries comes across more as a shield than anything. I fall asleep with her messages open.

I end up dreaming of this feisty, dark hairs, big eyed, sad, lost looking girl. Who would probably never like a boy like me.
