Are We Normal Yet?

~Chapter 18~

We quickly make our way to the parking lot, Finn unlocks his car and I climb in. A few seconds later, Finn gets into the drivers seat.

Me: Wait, what about the others?

Finn: (puts keys in the ignition) Text one of them. Tell them I'm taking you home.

Me: And is that where we're going?

Finn: No. (reverses out of the car park)

I quickly text Noah: 'I'm going home so I won't be with you lot at lunch' I then rest my phone on my lap.

Me: Are you okay Finn? You look and sound annoyed.

Finn: (sighs) I'm annoyed with that and blonde bitch, whatever her name is, for calling you a slag like that.

Me: Oh, Tilly? She looks like a fat version of JoJo Siwa, don't she?

He cracks a smile.

Finn: She looks like she tries too hard. Looks too fake.

Me: Yeah, everything about her is fake. Thanks for sticking up for me like that.

Finn: Well, I wasn't just gonna let them bully you like that. It's not on.

My heart melts at his words. Sheesh, what's up with my emotions lately?

Me: So, where are we going?

Finn: First, we need to go pick up Caleb from mine, well his apartment. Then we're gonna head somewhere for lunch.

Me: Caleb is coming?

Finn: He'll be able to explain things better. Don't worry, you'll like him.

Me: How does Caleb know her too?

Finn: You'll find out.

We eventually pull up outside of a nice looking house with a large driveway. Finn starts to climb out.

Finn: I'll be back in a few mins.

I watch as he walks up to the front door and steps inside. As I'm waiting, I hear a text message come on my phone: 'Why r u going home? R u okay??'

I reply: 'Noah, I'm fine. If any teacher asks where I am, please tell them I've been taken home. It's a long story, I'll call you later'.

Just as I look up, Finn is coming back out the house and behind him must be Caleb. He's dark skinned with short black hair. He's wearing a sleeveless black top, blue jeans and brown Doc Martin boots. He climbs in the back of the car, as Finn gets into his seat.

Finn: Em, this is Caleb, Caleb this is Em.

I turn around in my seat, so I can speak to him properly.

Me: Hi. (smiles shyly)

Caleb: Hey. (smiles) Pleased to finally meet you, I've heard a lot about you.

Me: You have? (glances at Finn)

Caleb: All good things don't worry.

Caleb throws a smirk at Finn, whom is now driving. I sit back in my seat and look out of the front window.

Caleb: You taking us to Maccies then Finn?

Finn: I was thinking Weather Spoons.

Caleb: Well, I aye fussed. This man is starving!
