Chapter Three
They found their hotel room and collasped on the beds.
"I can't believe that we are actually here! Because of Finn Harries! This is a dream come true, Ruby. It's amazing!"
"Yeah," Ruby muttered, still processing what Finn said to her.
"5:30, in the garden," she thought.
Ruby sighed and sat up, "I can't believe it, either,"
Liz smiled, "See, I told you,"
"No, not that," Ruby said, looking at Liz.
"Then what?" Liz asked, while hugging a pillow.
"Finn, he asked me to meet him in the garden,"
"WHAT???" Liz said throwing the pillow at the bed, "No.......way......"
"Yes, way Liz, " Ruby shook her head, "Maybe I was just hallucinating,"
"Ruby, I'm pretty sure that you didn't hallucinate," Liz said, sitting down next to her.
"Well, I'm pretty sure that Finn didn't ask me to go to the garden at 5:30,"
Liz gave her a look, "Ruby, he even gave a specific time to be there. He told you for real, not in your imagination,"
"Whatever, I want some pizza. What about you?" Ruby asked.
"Pizza sounds good, but you better prepare for tonight. Someone's going to wait for you in the garden at 5:30," Liz giggled.
Ruby threw a pillow at Liz and laughed. Liz then called room service for pizza and some ice cream.
"Ice cream and pizza is perfect right now, even though its like 9 in the morning" Liz said while hanging up the phone.
Ruby nodded and looked out the window. There was a huge, long line that wrapped around the hotel.
"There's so many people, how are they going to manage to fit everyone in here?" Ruby asked.
"Well, they probably have a large auditorium that they put everyone in,"
"Don't they have a fan meet up or something? How is he going to go to the garden on time?"
"Between breaks, maybe," Liz said then smiled, "Wait a minute, so you do like him. I knew it!"
"No! I was just wondering. Its not like I'm going to go,"
"But you have to go, this is like a once in a lifetime chance to go meet him. Alone.
"He probably wants to just talk, nothing else,"
"Sure, he whispers it to you so I can't hear. Totally just wants to talk,"
"Yeah right, no one at school talks to me so why would he?" Ruby asked, still looking out at the window.
"Oh puh-lease," Liz said while rolling her eyes, "All of the boys try talking to you, but you shoo them away or you just ignore them,"
"Because half of them are all annoying!"
"Only half of them?" Liz asked, raising her eyebrows, "You mean all of them?"
"You know what I mean," Ruby smiled and then heard a knock on the door.
Ruby went to open the door and saw Finn standing there.
Liz peered over Ruby's shoulder, "Oh hi Finn! We were just talki-"
Ruby elbowed Liz and gave her a look.
"Ow," Liz whispered and rubbed her arm, "So, what brings you here Finn?"
"Didn't you gals order some pizza and ice cream?" he asked, smiling.
"Yeah, but isn't room service supposed to do that?" Ruby asked, looking at the pizza that he brought.
He pouted, "Why? You don't want to me to be here?"
Ruby's face burned, "Oh, that wasn't what I mean't,"
Finn laughed, "It's okay, I told them to send me a notification whenever you get something. In case you guys go overboard," he leaned in, "And I know that wasn't what you meant,"
Ruby blushed even harder and Liz was trying to hold in her laughter. Liz reached for the pizza on the cart.
"Liz! Not yet! You didn't even wash your hands!" Ruby exclaimed smacking her hand away.
"Okay!" she said, while rubbing her hand, "Geez, you really need to stop hitting me,"
Ruby stuck her tongue out at her and Liz did the same.
"She's a clean freak," Liz whispered to Finn. He chuckled.
"Hey!" Ruby said, "I heard that! Plus the pizza is probably hot too,"
"So? Pizza's pizza, it'll still be good," Liz remarked and then looked back at the cart, "Hey, where's the ice cream?"
"I didn't bring it yet since it'll probably melt," Finn said, while pushing the cart into the girls room, "I'll be back soon,"
The girls nodded and then shut the door. They turned on the T.V. and ate their pizza.
"So aww you ghana go meet in?" Liz asked with her mouth full of pizza.
"What? I can't understand a word you're saying Liz. Swallow your food,"
Liz gulped, "I said, are you gonna meet Finn?"
Ruby sighed, "I don't know,"
"You should! You never know, he might ask you out or something. Just please go for me, please please please!" Liz pleaded, making a puppy face.
Ruby pondered about it, "Fine! I'll go. You're just lucky I'm a good friend,"
Liz smiled and went back to her pizza. They heard a knock on the door.
"It's probably the ice cream!" Liz exclaimed and ran to the door.
"Whoa there!" Finn said, and laughed, "A bit excited, aren't you? Here's your ice cream,"
"Thanks Finn!" Liz said as she took her ice cream and started eating it.
Finn whispered something to Liz, but Ruby couldn't hear from the bed.
"Okay, I'll tell her," Liz said, "Bye," she shut the door and brought Ruby's ice cream over to her.
"What'd he say?" Ruby asked taking the ice cream.
"Oh, so you're curious about what he said, looks like you like him," Liz giggled.
Ruby rolled her eyes, "Haha good one, what'd he say?"
"He said to tell you to not forget,"
Ruby sighed, "Ugh, why me?"
"Cause you're awesome! But not as awesome as me, obviously," Liz flipped her hair.
Ruby laughed and shook her head, "Whatever," and they went back to eating their ice cream.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The digital clock showed the time; 5:20.
Liz jumped on the bed Ruby was sitting on, "Ruby! You have ten minutes to meet him! Get ready!"
Ruby looked up from her phone, "Liz, I don't have anything to get ready,"
Liz stopped jumping, "Oh, right," she plopped down on the bed beside Ruby, "But you still need to fix your hair,"
"You do it," Ruby said, looking back down to her phone.
"Ugh, fine. You lazy butt," Liz said, and started fixing Ruby's hair, "OH MY GOSH!"
"Calm down Liz, what?"
"Look at the time!" Liz pulled Ruby up and towards the door, "Come on! You're going to be late!"
"Geez calm down Liz,"
Liz led the way towards the lobby and stopped at the entrance of the garden.
"Ruby," she said and put her hands on Ruby's shoulders,"Just be you and don't do anything stupid,"
Ruby laughed, "I normally do stupid stuff,"
"Come on Ruby, this is serious," Liz said, "Whatever, just go,"
Ruby walked through the door and gasped. The garden was beautiful with all types of flowers everywhere. There was a beautiful water fountain and Ruby walked towards it. She heard footsteps coming behind her and she turned around.
"The fountain's my favorite," Finn said, smiling with his hands in his pockets.
Ruby smiled back and nodded. Finn sat down on the edge of the fountain and Ruby followed.
"So, are you having fun so far?" Finn asked.
"The fact that I got to eat pizza and ice cream, it's pretty good,"
Finn smiled and laughed. He leaned slightly towards Ruby.
"Is he going to kiss me?" Ruby thought.
Then all of a sudden, they heard a scream.
