taylor sat at a food court table, scrolling through insta, waiting for the cast of stranger things to meet her as promised. she looked at her best friend, quinton's latest post. she began commenting the typical 'white-bitch-best-friend-hyping-you-up' comments one by one until her whole comments section was filled with only her comments as far as the eye could see. she smiled as she saw her best friend begin to add replies back one by one, then she got a notification from a text.

taylor looked up to see the cast of kids walking through the door. her eyes widened and she felt her heart beat begin to quicken and her hands begin to sweat. she looked back down at her phone and began texting her friend again.

bbg tae listen i've gotta go they're here see ya babes

taylor put her phone into her back pocket again just in time for them all to make it to her. she flashed a slightly forced, slightly genuine smile as her nerves got the best of her. the cast smiled at her and began introducing themselves to her. when it got to finn introducing himself she began to unravel. she's had the biggest fan-crush on him since she saw him in stranger things. 'hey,' he put up his hand as a way to say 'hello', 'finn.'

she smiled and began to introduce herself as well. 'i'm taylor.' (don't know how to relieve the social awkwardness i created purely by just typing how i would meet them but lets just skip our way through time).

it'd only been half an hour since they all met each other and the cast and taylor were already talking and joking as if they had been friends for years. after they had entered forever 21 millie, sadie, and noah dragged taylor to a section of the store away from the other three boys. they started pulling clothes off the racks and holding them against her body while having the most peculiar conversation with her.

'you know, i've never seen finn look at someone with such a weird look on his face before.' taylor looked at sadie with an offended look on her face. she held her hands up in surrender. 'i didn't mean like that!' taylor smiled and rolled her eyes. 'you know,' noah said in his awfully deep voice, 'i think she means finn hasn't looked at a girl, or even another human being, like he does with you.' taylor's expression turned into one of confusion. 'finn wolfhard,' she asked, 'THE finn wolfhard is looking at me like, what, a schoolgirl looks at her new gucci bag?' sadie laughed at taylor's metaphore, but ultimately agreed with her in what she said. 'but, i'm sure he isn't going to say anything until he's known you for years and you have a boyfriend and are definately not in love with him.' taylor laughed at what millie said.

it was weird, hearing all of this from people she had just met minutes ago. it was especially weird because they were talking about FINN WOLFHARD having a CRUSH on her! she couldn't wrap her mind around it. how could someone like him like someone like her. 'no,' taylor told them. 'he can't possibly like me.' sadie, with clothes upon clothes stacked on her arms, rose her left eyebrow and smirk. 'you won't be thinking that when you two are sticking your tongues down each others throats.' taylor gagged at the imagine that was now floating in her head from what sadie said. after that ordeal finn, gaten, and caleb walked over to join the rest of the group.

~finn~

i looked over to where noah, millie, and sadie were standing with taylor. i saw noah glance up at me, which told me that they were obviously talking about me. the only reason noah looks at people is because he's talking with them or about them. it was a dumb tell, but it helped in most cases. i had been inspecting the newest member to our group for a while. i didn't know how to feel about her just yet, seen as she just got here, but i was starting to warm to her. she was pretty funny and chill. she had some good vibes, too.

i really want to hang out with her alone, but i know that gang will be weird about it and think that i like her. maybe if i get all of us to go out together and only go somewhere that both me and her will enjoy. i was brought out of my thoughts when caleb yelled at me to hurry and catch up.
