Ch.7 More Strangers

(Your POV)

The next day was pretty bland. All I did was the same thing as yesterday. Is this what I do during summer vacation?
But today was Thursday and Finn was about to come up and brighten the dullness! I was already dressed and eating breakfast by 8 when I heard a weird knock on the door. They let themselves in and I whipped around to see someone other than Finn.
"Uhh..." I started. They stood there with a smile and approached me. Stunning Red hair and beautiful sleek cheekbones. She held out her hand and said, "Hi, I'm Sadie. Finn's told us all about you." I was struck speechless. Sadie Sink in all of her glory was standing in front of me shaking my hand. She glanced back and Two more faces appeared from the back door. Noah and Millie.
"Hey! You're Y/n! I'm so glad I can finally meet you!" She said with her english accent. She came into the kitchen in her purple coat and dazzling black boots. She wore jeans and when she unzipped her jacket it revealed a Calpurnia t shirt. A bit eager, huh?
I smiled and she hugged me. "How are you all?" I asked quietly and Noah joined us, stripping off his coat and nike high top sneakers. He awkwardly smiled and stood behind the girls. I could tell he felt out of place. Did they even know Grace?

"So.. what are you all doing here?" I asked as I washed my dishes and put them away. "Oh well our directors let us have a week off for autumn break and Finn said that his friend Grace is letting us stay here for a couple days until our family arrives and we can spend the rest of the weekend with them," Millie explained with her happy grin. I nodded and Finn finally came in with a few footsteps. "Hey, Y/n!" He greeted and I ran to squeeze him in a hug.

He showed them around the house and they dropped their stuff in the basement. It was pretty awkward. I guess Grace invited them over too, I was just hoping we could spend some Grace-Y/n-Finn time...

    "Oh, Y/n! What's your favorite thing about Atlanta?" Millie softly tapped my arm and I quietly looked up. "Oh.. um.. the company, of course," I answered. I looked from her to Finn. They've kissed so many times before. How could they just not be in a relationship? How did they make it not mean anything? Well I know he didn't but Millie... we will never know.
    "I'd have to agree with that," Sadie added with her infectious laughter. Noah silently nodded and Finn smiled his goofy smirk. "Well maybe the company isn't as good as Luke, but I'd say we're pretty great!" Finn joked and looked at me which made my cheeks blush.
    "Luke? Ooo who's that?" Millie asked suspiciously. "My boyfriend. He's back in Y/t," I explained.

   It kept getting awkward and even more by the minute. Soon I lied and said that I needed to go to the bathroom. I stood and looked in the mirror, confused. What was so wrong with me? Why was I acting so weird? Why was everything so awkward? Why was Finn acting so different? Was it because of them or me?
   I flushed the toilet and turned on the sink, letting the sounds drown out my thoughts. Hopefully my thoughts would die and I could move on.

   I left the bathroom and slowly walked down the hallway, stopping before I got to the wall that separated me and the living room. "Yeah she's super pretty, she just seems shy.." I heard Sadie admit. "Is she usually this shy?" Millie asked. No reply from anyone. I stood silent and waited to enter the room.
     "I get that you like her, but how does she act around you?" Millie asked. Like me? I heard Finn stumble on his words. "She's really funny. She has a beautiful personality and she's, yeah, she-" I quietly took it in. Finn couldn't, you know, like me. They were quiet for a minute, still whispering. I decided walk in like nothing happened.
    "Sorry I forgot my phone in my room," I lied again and they brushed it off. I joined Finn and Noah on the couch while Sadie and Millie sat on the carpet. "So how long have you been visiting?" Millie asked. She sure asks quite a lot of questions..

    "About three and a half weeks. I was only supposed to stay for a couple weeks but I guess my mom wants to stay here for a little while longer," I faked a smile. "Do you miss school?" Noah asked with his face drained. I shook my head and laughed. "No, definitely not."
    "Do you miss your friends?" Sadie added. "Oh, no I-I didn't really have many friends back home..." I trailed off. "So why did your mom want to visit Atlanta in the first place? And why for so long?"
    "Well, I-" I started, but Finn cut me off, "Enough questions why don't we go play the wii or something?" He looked uneasy. I felt the same.

    They obviously haven't played the wii very much as children because Finn and I beat all of them in wii sports. I finally felt more comfortable.
    After they decided they were done with the wii, we put on a show and jumped onto the couch. I sat on the end by Finn with Millie on his other side. Though it was more bearable, the awkwardness hindered and kept in the air like over-sprayed perfume.

   Through the show we were watching Finn glanced to me a few times and finally said, "Y/n and I will go make snacks real quick. Make yourselves comfortable. Grace will be home soon and she'll join us." He pulled me up from the couch and held my arm as we climbed the stairs. Once we got up the landing he held a straight face. "I'm sorry about all the questions they've been asking. I'm sorry.. I've made you uncomfortable. They're leaving early tomorrow and we can hangout. I'm sorry I-I don't know why I invited them all over. I thought they'd be less awkward.." He rambled on. I gave a shy smile. "It's fine, Finnlard. I'm the awkward one anyway." I began to walk over to the kitchen but Finn caught me by my hand and softly pulled me back.

  "Y/n.. did you hear what we were saying while you were getting your phone?" He watched my eyes and my cheeks flushed. I nodded and confessed, "I mean.. I guess." He held me close to him, still grasping my forearm with his hand. My eyes trailed the outline of his face as we stood in silence. "It's hard to me to tell you, I-I wanted to see you before and tell you th-this before but I.." He rambled. What was he trying to say?

(Finn's POV)

  I rambled on and I couldn't take it anymore. She stood there before me in her pure innocent form. I didn't know what to do. I held her arm and looked in her eyes. Trying to speak to her as if she could hear my thoughts. I felt stuck. I felt like she wouldn't care. She has a boyfriend. Why should I bother?

    "Y/n.." I started but stopped myself. She looked up at me with angelic light in her eyes. I slowly let go of her arm and apologized. "Sorry. I didn't mean to grab your arm like that.." I scratched my neck and walked past her to the kitchen, leaving her confused in the hallway.

  "Wait! What were you gonna say?" She asked, following after me into the kitchen. I ignored her pleas and continued to pour bowls of cheez it's for the guys. "Finn?" I turned around and set down the bowls. "I don't know how to say it." I admitted. She looked at me confused and waited for me to continue. She's catching on! I dug myself too big of a hole! Not cash money, not cash money!

   "Finneeuuusss..." Y/n dragged out. I rolled my eyes and took a step closer to her, startling her backwards.
  "I have feelings for you, Y/n and I know it's wrong and I don't know what to do about it!" I stood peering down on her and she looked up at me with wholesome, full eyes.
"There is that good?" I asked, frustrated. She kept quiet. I took the bowls and walked out. That wasn't as cash money as I wanted it to be...

 
   "Where's Y/n?" Noah asked as I passed out the snacks. I glanced upstairs. "Umm... she's making a quesadilla. Yeah she's making a quesadilla.." I lied and bolted back upstairs. She stood in her same spot in the kitchen. I felt all sorts of guilt wash over me. What have I done?
     "I'm sorry, Y/n. I didn't mean to scare you. I didn't mean to be so loud and frustrated. I'm so sorry-" I approached her. She turned to me with a calm smile. He stepped forward and poked my nose. "Silly little boy... I have a boyfriend," She teased and turned back around to get more snacks. I sat there in confusion. Did she really not understand what I meant? This was gonna be harder than I thought...
