Y/N POV
"Y/N pleeeeeaaassseeee" the muffled voice of Finn Wolfhard begged through the phone, "everyone's dying to meet you!"
I sighed and plopped down on the couch, spinning so I was upside down with my legs over the top and my hair brushing the ground.
I loved talking to Finn and hearing his voice, but right now I was ready to end the call.
"I don't know Finn... They're probably just saying that for your sake." I mumbled, staring at the world from an upside down point-of-view.
Finn groaned through the phone and I rolled my eyes at his over-dramatising. It was cute, but extremely annoying.
"Pretty please, Y/N?! I really want you there, I feel like I haven't seen you in ages! It'll just be like when we were younger and had family Christmas parties." He offered, trying to get me to come.
He wanted me to agree to go to a Birthday/Christmas party he was having with all his cast mates and stuff. And as someone from his past, not really his present; I wasn't very keen to go.
Our families used to live next door, so Finn and I grew up together. We were best friends and we did everything together. Every year we had a massive neighbourhood Christmas party. But since the Wolfhards moved away, and with Finns acting, it got harder and harder trying to catch up. We kind of drifted apart, despite both of our efforts.
I sighed, closing my eyes.
The more we talked, the harder it was to say goodbye. The more I saw him, the harder it was to deny my feelings.
"I don't know Finn. You'll be fine without me, you've got all your new friends there. I really wouldn't fit in. I'd be the only non-Cast mate. It would just be me sitting in a corner while everyone else has fun. I appreciate the offer, dude, but it's a no." I said softly, chewing my lip anxiously just thinking about the situation.
The more time I spent with him, the more likely it was for him to find out.
On the other side of the phone there was quiet. Maybe he had finally given up?
"Y/N/N, I wouldn't want to be there without you. You're my oldest and bestest friend, and I want to introduce you to my other friends so that all of my friends can be friends! I know for a fact you'd fit in. Josh will be there as well, so you won't be the only non-cast member! And if you end up sitting in a corner, I'll come sit with you. But, I guess, if you really don't want to go and it'd just going to make you uncomfortable, you don't have to come...." Finn said reassuringly.
I pondered for a long moment, thinking through my options.
Surely I could manage an hour or so... Just for Finn.. And he was right, we hasn't seen each other in ages, and I missed him so much. It was only one night, right? It wouldn't be that hard to act like the me that he knows, the one that was completely and utterly his platonic best friend... Right?
"Fine. But only for you, asshole." I sighed.
I heard a loud cheer from the phone, and laughed.
Shit. What have I gotten myself into.
"You weren't gonna give me the option to not go were you?" I asked, knowing the answer.
"Nope. I was gonna keep bugging you." Finn said in a very happy voice.
I simply laughed and wrote down the details of the party, not really listening.
23rd. Finns house. Sleepover. Ugly Christmas sweater.
"Okay, see you later, Finn" I said, wanting to get off the phone before ten minutes turned into two hours.
"See ya, Y/N/N!" He responded.
We hung up and I sighed, slowly sliding off the couch like a snake. My heart was pounding even from just hearing his voice.
I was screwed royally.
Finns POV
I put my phone down, letting out a sigh. I lean my head back against the couch and smile.
It wasn't a great execution, but I got the intended end result, so that's all that matters. I sat up and opened my eyes to see the boys grinning at me expectantly.
I rolled my eyes and nodded, sending them up into cheers. Nic and Wyatt both slapped my back in congratulation and Jaeden wiped away a fake tear.
"Guys, it's not that big of a deal." I groaned, running my hands through my messy hair.
I mean, it was a big deal, but I wasn't going to tell them that. I had to act normal. Might as well get some practice in at it before Y/N came over for the party.
Chosen scoffed and looked at me with raised eyebrows.
"Dude, you've been spending all morning freaking out and writing a script for what to say to her, just to invite her to your party, despite knowing each other since forever." He teased.
"And when you finally actually called her you couldn't stop blushing, and stammering and biting your lip." Dustin piped up.
"Oh, and when she agreed to come you cheered as if you won a gold medal at the Olympics." Caleb said nudging me.
I could feel my face heat up but I just rolled my eyes.
"Whatever" I muttered sheepishly, glad that they had finished attacking me.
Sophia walked in then, having gone shopping with my mom for some 'much needed girl time'.
She looked at all the boys surrounding me, the blush on my face and the phone beside me, and quickly realised what was happening.
"Oh, and don't forget about how he never shut up about her on set." She teased, one hand on her hip, the other holding a Starbucks coffee.
I groaned and buried my face in my hands as they all went around the circle, saying something I had said or done that gave it away.
Everyone except Millie and Sadie added something in, and that was only because they hadn't arrived yet.
Soon, Josh was telling them stories about times I had made an idiot of myself in front of her, since the three of us used to spend a lot of time together.
Eventually, when my face was as red as a fire truck, I spoke up.
"Okay. Fine. You got me. I have massive fucking crush on my best friend, Y/N, but there's no point. She only likes me as a friend, barely even that I think. Besides, I don't want to ruin the friendship, so please don't mention it to her?" I sighed, giving up.
Jaeden rolled his eyes, but nodded. "Took you long enough to admit it, dumbass." He said grinning.
"And we won't tell her. Yet. We have to actually meet her first and see if she's right for you, then we'll think about telling her." Jeremy grinned, winking.
Sophia plopped down onto a spare chair, sighing.
"I just can't wait to be the only girl. I mean there's gonna be three other girls here. That's like three more than I'm used to" Sophia grinned, changing the subject, thank god.
"Speaking of, when does Millie and Sadies plane arrive? I wonder how their holiday was..." Noah asked, checking his watch.
"9pm tonight," I replied nodding, looking at my own watch.
It was only mom and I that went to pick up the girls, since we wouldn't all fit in a car, and needed space for their luggage.
It gave me a good opportunity to think.
How was I gonna greet Y/N? Should I play it cool? Or act like I used to when my feelings were purely platonic? Or should I go out on a limb and flirt with her?
I decided on acting. I was good at acting, I could do that easy. Just act like I didn't get butterflies whenever I see or hear her, act as if the way she would grin at me expectantly after telling a shifty joke, didn't effect me at all. Act like I didn't care whether or not she noticed me. Act as if she didn't make me feel weak in the knees or make my heart flutter whenever she looked at me with her gorgeous eyes.... Act like I didn't want to kiss her on those cute lips of hers that seemed to draw my eyes in like a magnet. Easy.
I sighed deeply, wiping my face with my hand as if this would wipe away my thoughts.
My mom looked at me concerned, before turning her attention back to the road.
"Are you okay, honey? That was a big sigh. Do you still want to have the party? It's not too late to cancel." She said, her voice thick with concern and love.
I shook my head simply.
"Yeah, I'm fine. I still want to have the party, it's just..." I trailed off weakly.
"It's just, what? You can tell me, Finn, it's okay." She prompted.
"It's just that I have this... This crush.. On this girl whose coming to the party, and I don't know how to act around her. I really, really like her, mom, but I don't want to ruin our friendship." I sighed, letting it all out.
It felt good to vent.
Mom smiled, quickly glancing at me.
"And this girl, are we going to pick her up right now?" She asked, curiosity getting the better of her.
"No, mom." I glared at her.
She nodded, slowly.
“That Sophia is a very nice girl, Finn, and I think-"
"It's not Sophia either." I mumbled, cutting her off.
She gasped, her eyes widening.
"You like Y/N! Oh, Finny! Aw, wait until I tell Y/M/N! We've been waiting for this since you were just kids!" She squealed uncharacteristically like a schoolgirl.
My eyes widened in alarm.
"Mom! No! Both Y/N and her mom are not finding out about this! And that's really weird."
She simply shrugged, and reached over to ruffle my hair.
"Okay, Finny. I just think you two would be adorable together."
I rolled my eyes and slumped into the seat of the car, wanting to melt into it.
"Honey, just know that if your friendship is important enough to the both of you, even if she doesn't share the same feelings about you, as you do for her, your friendship will stay the same. It might be awkward at first, but she's not worth it if she can't keep the lifelong friendship you guys have, just because of a crush." Mom said calmly and reassuringly, smiling at me gently, "but something tells me that you guys will figure it all out."
I nodded, smiling softly, hoping what she said was true.
Millie and Sadie both fell asleep in the car on the way home.
The reunion between me and them must've taken up what little energy they had left after a long flight from London, where they had flown to from Mexico.
Millie and Sadie had run to meet us, and engulfed me and then my mom in a big hug each.
When Millie gave me a hug, she whispered in my ear, "I can't wait to meet her."
I had groaned, responding, "they told you already?"
She had laughed and nodded, "texted me just as the plane landed."
When Sadie had given me a hug that seemed to have way too much strength from someone her size, she whispered, "Sounds like you're head over heels from what I've heard, Finn."
Unable to stop the blush, I just laughed nervously.
She grinned at me before going over to give my mom a hug.
“Thank you so much for letting us stay with you, Mrs. Wolfhard." I only just heard the girls say.
I was too busy caught up in my own thoughts.
Slowly, I walked to the car behind the others.
Everyone, apart from Y/N -hopefully-, knew that I was crushing on her, hard. Would someone let it slip that I liked her? Or, more likely, would they hint at it very heavily until she caught on? Would she, then, laugh at me with everyone about how stupid I was? Would she-
"Finn!" Mom said loudly and I snapped out of my thoughts.
"Hmm?"
"We're at the the car, sweetie."
She gestured to the car, the girls in the backseat, giggling.
I smiled sheepishly.
"Oh, yeah, right, sorry." I said and jumped in the passenger seat.
"Daydreaming about someone were we, Finny?" Millie teased as Sadie made kissy faces beside her, teasing me.
I rolled my eyes and pulled the finger at them before focusing ahead.
When we reached home, everyone else was asleep. I guess all of the reunions were going to be tomorrow morning.
I showed the girls their bedroom where Sophia was already sound asleep and said goodnight, before retreating to my own room.
I almost stepped on a snoring Jeremy, and Chosen muttered in his sleep, worrying me that I had woken him up.
I fell asleep almost as soon as my head hit the pillow.
There's part one! How was it? Good enough to make you want to read part two, hopefully! Let me know how I can improve etc!
