   y/n was in her last class of the day, on the last day of school, counting the minutes until the bell rings. passing time, her mind wanders off the party. the party that iris apatow, the most popular girl in high school, throws every year for the last day.

   she was contemplating going this year, because the past 2 years she's ditched the party. one reason being she hates high school parties. the second reason, well, she barely even knows anybody who goes to the parties. and like every year, she sits in her room, watching netflix all night to celebrate instead of partying. maybe she would try something new.

    she feels herself being shaken by her shoulder, and snaps out of her thoughts as her best friend, kodie, focused into her vision. "y/n! hey, the bell rang 5 minutes ago, why are you still sitting here?"

   "sorry, i was thinking about the party." y/n shakes her head, blinking a couple times before standing up and grabbing her books, shoving them in her bag.

    "are you going this year?" kodie asks her, his voice filled with hope. y/n makes a face and kodie groans, knowing the answer.

    "please." he begs. "i dont want to be alone again. every year i end up ditching the party to come watch netflix with you because i get bored. and parties arent supposed to make you bored, y/n."

    they make it to her locker, and most of the halls are almost clear by now since students were rushing to get their asses out of the hell hole they went to for 182 days. y/n sighs, opening her locker and grabbing the little things she has left in it, and closes it.

    kodie and y/n stand there for a bit longer as y/n overthinks her decision about millie's party. "i- kodie- maybe." she looks at him. he perks up at 'maybe'.

    "so thats a yes?"

    "no, i never said that."

    "but you never said 'no'."

    "which makes it a 'maybe', kodie." y/n rolls her eyes, walking ahead of him. he speeds up his pace for a couple seconds to catch up with her.

   "okay, y/n, but im telling you-" he cuts himself off after he sees finn, y/n's longtime crush,  walking over to them. more specifically, in y/n's direction. y/n notices finn too and turns to kodie.

   "what do i do?"

   "i dont know."

   "he's walking over here."

   "act natural, its fine. if he tries to do anything, i'll punch him." kodie reassures her just as finn is so many feet away.

    "hey- uh, y/n?" finn speaks. y/n's eyes grow slightly wider than usual, her heartbeat picking up and her stuttering starts.

   "oh- uh- wolfhard, what's up- i mean- finn, hey- um, sorry- yeah." a dark blush appears on her cheeks and finn chuckles, finding her awkwardness cute.

   "are you going to iris's party tonight? i havent seen you at any of her other ones, maybe, youre coming this year?" he asks, the same hope that kodie had was laced in his tone.

   hearing it from kodie, thats one thing. she's learned to say no to him many times before, especailly when he asks her to make him food all the time. but finn asking her, thats a different story. its not like shes gonna say no to her crush asking her to go to a party. i mean, maybe, but finn seems to want her to go, so, she will go.

   "oh- totally- yeah, super totally going." she scoffs, trying to seem not akward anymore, but failing.

   finn smiles, backing away. "awesome! maybe i'll see you there. later, y/n." this time he turns fully around, and y/n lets out a breath of relief she didnt even realize she was holding in.

   "wow, you couldnt have been more awkward." kodie laughs at her as they continue their walk home, as they live two houses down from eachother so they can always walk home toegther.

    "shut up, you wouldve been more of an awkward mess if it was allison." y/n brings up kodie's crush, causing him to glare at her as they reach her house. his house was after hers.

    "well, it was finn, not allison, so hA." he yells, sprinting down the sidewalk and into his house, leaving y/n laughing to herself as she walks into her home.

○ ○ ○

    "okay, why havent we left for the party yet? its late, i thought we were going." y/n asks kodie who sits on her bed. y/n had gotten ready earlier to go to the party,  which they havent even left the house for yet.

   "y/n, the party starts at midnight."

   "midnight?" she asks in disbelief. its 11:43pm.

   kodie rolls his eyes. "and this is how i know you're not a partying type of teenager." y/n scoffs, even though he isnt wrong. if theres something y/n hates the most about high school, its parties and popular kids who think they own you.

    "im only going because finn wants me to." she says. kodie makes a face, making y/n confused.

     "what?"

     "he didnt really say he wanted you to, he just asked if you were going. besides, what if you show up and hes lip locking with iris or something?" he mentions which sends a pang in y/n's chest thinking about it.

   kodie sees the look on her face, and immediately apologizes, feeling bad. "im sorry, i shouldn't have said that."

    "its fine, we should leave anyways. its 10 minutes til the party." she says, grabbing her phone from her dresser and walking downstairs, kodie not far behind her.

   they drive in kodie's car, and once they make it to iris's place, the sound of music blaring through the house is automatically heard from outside. y/n checks the time. "its 12:01 in the morning, how is it already packed here?"

    "you say a time, and everybody shows up 30 minutes early. especially to parties like iris's." kodie answers, getting out of his car. y/n sighs, already regretting coming here instead of watching netflix all night and eating food like her usual.

     as they get closer, the music is more loud, and y/n walks closer to kodie, becomig nervous. kodie puts his arm around her shoulders. "i know its your first party after a long time, but please dont be on my ass the whole night. go find finn or something. have fun."

    he immediately breaks from her after saying so, and walks the opposite direction from y/n. her eyes frantically search the loud and drunk teenagers, looking for anybody. finn, iris, kodie.

   after finding nobody, she sighs, rubbing her eyes. y/n makes her way through the drunk, horny teenagers, seeing some drinking or making out or grinding up on eachother, making her make a face at them.

   she reaches the quietest place so far, iris's backyard, and feels relieved as she walks and sits down in the grass where the music isnt as loud, and nobody is around.

    "hey." a soft voice comes from behind her, making her jump and turn her head to the person. that person who is finn.

   "oh, hi." she turns back around, picking the grass out of the ground. finn takes a seat in the grass next to her, staring at her with a ghost of a smile playing on his lips.

   she notices his stares, and looks up at him through her lashes as she still picks at the grasa beneath her, a tint of pink on her cheeks. "what?" she giggles, making him smile and shake his head.

    "you look really beautiful." he comments randomly. y/n looks up at him again, surprised by his choice of words. she gives him a small smile.

   "thank you. you're- uh- you're pretty cute too." she sits up straighter, tucking a piece of hair behind her ear and away from in her face.

    finn smiles, thanking her, blushing. y/n furrows her eyebrows at the thought of finn being out here alone with just herself.

    "finn?"

    "yeah?"

    "why did you come out here? is there something you need?" she asks, making eye contact with him.

      finn scratches the back of his neck. "uh, no, i just saw you come out here, and i wanted to be with you. i see you around, y/n, but i barely get to talk to you except when we're in history toegther. i was really looking forward to you coming here."

    y/n smiles, feeling giddy inside. "really? you wanted me here?"

    "yeah, i did. i really like you, y/n." his hand finds hers, and she looks up at him. his face seemed so close to hers, and his eyes were flickering from her eyes to her lips. y/n felt uncertain. yeah, she liked him, but she felt uneasy. she could smell the light scent of alcohol in his breath. was he drunk?

    before she could decide what to do, finn's lips were on hers in seconds, surprising her. she melted into the kiss, wrapping her arms around his neck, one hand running up into his curly hair. he kissed her roughly, their lips fitting toegther like two pieces to a puzzle.

     iris's voice broke the two apart. "finn? finn!" she drunkenly stumbles out to the backyard.

    "iris?" finn stands up, going to her aid to help her stand up correctly.

    "finn, baby, there you are! i've been looking for you- you ditched our make out session." iris pouts up at him, and y/n feels that same pang in her chest from earlier. finn was making out with iris? of course he was.

    finn stumbles over his words, looking up at y/n who was on the verge of tears. he shakes his head down at iris, who was pouting up at him. he didnt make out with her. what was she talking about?

    "iris, i didnt kiss you whatsoever. youre wasted, go drink water." he says.

    "no, im pretty sure i have the right guy, finnie." she drunkenly flirts, making him roll his eyes as he helps her inside.

  after giving her water and coming back out to y/n, he sees her still with teary eyes. "did you make out with her? or did you lie so you didnt hurt my feelings?" she asks.

   "no! i didnt lie, i swear. i only kissed you tonight. like i said, i really like you. i wouldnt do that to you, okay?" he asks, taking her hands softly in his.

    "you swear?" she asks.

    "i swear on my life." he says. "and i was gonna ask you, if you would ever consider going out with me."

    y/n smiles again, resting her head on his chest. "yeah, i'd love that." finn sighs, resting his chin on the top of her head. "good, im looking forward to it." he breathes out.

    "are you?" she giggles, looking up at him.

    "yes, totally." he says.

    "well, im a little thirsty, so, come with me so i can get my water." she takes finn's hand, dragging him back inside, but not before kissing his cheek happily.

      you could guess finally going to a party was worth it after all.
