Are We Normal Yet?

~Chapter 10~

*Finn's pov*

It's absolutely great to be back. And to be back with my old group of friends is even better. Emma is laughing at a joke I've told her. Gosh, I love her laugh. James and Grace are walking ahead of us.

Me: Christ, that was hilarious Finn.

I grin.

Finn: I'm glad you like it. 

We stop just outside her classroom.

Me: Well, here's my lesson. I really can't be bothered. 

She sighs.

Finn: You'll be fine, at least you ain't got Geography. 

Me: I've got it tomorrow though. 

Finn: Oh dear, it is a hard life for you.

She pouts.

Me: Oh shush.

She's so cute when she pouts. Nothing changes.

Me: Will I see you at lunch?

Finn: If you guys want me around, then yeah.

Me: Of course we want you around! You're part of the group even if you have been absent for two years.

I grin. 

Finn: Then I'll see you at lunch.

Me: Meet us just outside the maths building. We have extra maths there, so just wait for us there. 

Finn: Will do. See you later. 

Me: See ya!

I badly want to hug her but I don't think this time it'll be acceptable. I smile at her instead, wave at Grace and James then start walking towards the humanity huts.

*Back to my pov*

I grin as I watch Finn walk away. So this must have been what Hayden was going on about last night! What a great surprise! 

It's then that I realise that Grace and James are not next to me. I turn around and spot them standing in the line, looking at me. I bounce over to them.

Me: Why you over here for?

James: We were just giving you two some space.

Me: It's nothing like that James. 

Grace gives me a look that I know all too well. I look away.

James: Yeah we know that. Of course we don't think you fancy Finn.

I'm waiting for him to start smirking, however there's no hint of humour. I mentally give a sigh of relief. 

As we're walking into the classroom, Grace is still giving me that look with a smirk. I wish she would stop. It's a good job that James doesn't sit near us. As soon as he's out of earshot, I round on her.

Me: Why are you giving me that look?

Grace: Oh nothing.

Me: I actually thought you had told him y'know!

Grace: Oh Em, you know I wouldn't. You swore me to secrecy. I stand by that. I won't say anything unless you give me permission. 

Me: I don't want James to know ever. Or the others. 

Grace: Do you still... you know?

Me: Grace, that was back in year 9. I haven't seen him for two years. Those feelings left ages ago. It was only a little crush, remember?
