I cant belive i actually came. I shouldnt have come…

Lucy, my best friend, invited me to a movie. Last minute she told me her boyfriend, josh, and my crush, Finn, were coming. I was so angry that she had put me in that position- she already had told them i was coming- so i couldnt ditch.

But now, here in the movie theater, sitting beside me was Finn. 𝘖𝘯𝘭𝘺 finn. Not Lucy or Josh. Lucy had called me the second i had got here. She Told me her and Josh werent able to come. And i had said, “How come the 𝘣𝘰𝘵𝘩 of you cant? You set me up didnt you? You were never coming, were you?“.

“i totally was.... 𝘕𝘰𝘵. Im sorry but you and Finn needed a nudge!“ lucy had explained.

“Nudge?! You lied to me, tricked me into going on a date with my crush, and made us have to watch a 2 HOUR long romance movie that could probably win the worlds cheesiest movie award!!“ i had yelled.

“Oh just shut up and save the talking for Finn okay? Hope you have fun! Bye bestieeee!“ and then she hung up.

And now, i was having to watch the worlds worst romance movie, with 𝘍𝘪𝘯𝘯.

I stare at the screen, hoping there is less than ten minutes of it left. I check my phone- oh my gosh. Ive only been here for 5 minutes... I accidentally let out the worlds loudest groan. Above me, dozens of people shush me, and when i look over, Finn is frowning.

Oh great. Now i feel like a jerk! I sink into my chair, thinking of how it resembles me sinking into dispair.

“Look, if you wanna leave that bad just go already.“ Finn says, giving me a look of both anger and hurt.

GREAT! Now i hurt his 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴. I put my head in my hands, trying to shake away the negative thoughts and mini panic attack coming on.

“Im sorry. I just- i just thought Lucy and Josh were coming.“ i mutter as i lift my face from my hands.

His frown deepens- he looks like i just slapped him.

“I knew you didnt like me but dang i didnt know you hated me so bad you cant sit 10 minutes with me without losing your mind,“. He replies harshly.

I flinch, totally taken back by his words. Hate him? 𝘏𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘩𝘪𝘮? “Hate you? Yes, id much rather be watching the movie with Lucy and Josh right now, but thats because i dont wanna be 𝘢𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘦 with you.” I begin.

“I dont hate you at all. Quite the opposite really. Its just my luck that i have to sit and watch a Two hour movie 𝘢𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘦 with the guy im in love with. And the movie just happens to be the worlds cheesiest romance! I mean come on! It doesnt take a whole movie to realize your in love!“ i blurt out, at first at him, but then to the screen, as if the characters can hear me. Im so angry at myself that i completley lose it.

I stand from my chair, shouting at the screen as if it is the cause of my love problems. “JUST KISS THE GIRL ALREADY YOU FLIPPING IDIOT!“ I shout at the top of my lungs. I see two Movie Theater employees storming towards me, and i dont give them the satisfaction of kicking me out.

“No thanks! I dont need to be escorted! Im leaving this HORROR movie before it kills me!” I yell dramtically, sprinting out of the move theater.

It pouring down rain outside, and 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘮𝘺 𝘭𝘶𝘤𝘬, i have no umbrella. I sit at the bench on the side of the theater, letting the rain consume me. I sigh- i have just made the most stupid, impulsive choices of my life.

I 1) Told my crush i loved him, 2) Yelled at nonexistant people in a movie, and 3) had to leave a movie theater before i got kicked out.

I laugh hysterically, trying not to cry. My only comfort is that this cant get worse.

The door opens behind me, its Finn. He is probably coming to either reject me or scold me for ruining the movie.

“Great. It gets worse.” I mumble. “What?” He asks. I shake my head, “nothing,”.

He sits on the bench beside me, clearly not caring that his blond hair is being drenched, and his clothes are being poured on.

“Im sorry for getting you kicked out,”. I mutter shamefully.

“You didnt get me kicked out. They felt so bad for me they let me stay. I just left because i wanted to,”. He replies.

I stare it him, unable to look away.

“You- you left?” I ask. He nodds. “It wasnt a good movie anyway. Your right- it doesnt take a whole movie to know your in love.” He says, staring at the night sky covered in clouds.

I cant help but wonder, “Why did you think i hated you?” I ask. He chuckles nervously. “For one thing, you avoid me all the time. I came to say hi to you one day, and the second you saw me you stood up and ran to the bathroom. Then in class, we both didnt have partners. I glanced in your direction and your practically begged Olivia To be your partner. You offered to 𝘱𝘢𝘺 her just to not be mine.” He explains.

Oh. Oh. 𝘖𝘩. “Oh my gosh. You make me sound like a monster. No, wait a minute, i 𝘢𝘮 a monster,” i say, laughing with a mixture of nervousness and shame.

“No your not. You just have a funny way of showing people you love them,”. He replies. The word “love” sets off a thousand butterflies in my stomach.

He continues, smiling that smile that i love, “People say there’s a fine line between love and hate. Guess i had a pretty close guess,”.

He says it so lightly, like we are talking about the answers for homework and not my feelings for him.

But then- i have questions of my own. “I thought you didnt know i existed. I thought you only wanted to be my partner that day because there was barely anyone left. And everyone knows Olivia isnt…well… that bright….” I say. He laughs lightly. Lighter then a cloud. “No, i wouldve choosen you out of the whole room. And yes- I knew you existed. I did a lot more than 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸. Why else would i have wanted to say hi to you? You dont know how long i worked of the couraged to say that one word. And you basically rejected me before i even spoke,”. He explains.

He gives me an uneasy look before he says, “You have caused me a lot of pain. Yet, in this moment, my love for you blinds me of it,”. He says.

My heart skips a beat, a hurricane of butterflies just errupted in me. I divert his gaze, im scared that if he looks into my eyes he will see right into my soul.

“Is-is that shakespear?” I stutter. He smiles brighter, “No. Those words were only said by the one and only Finn, aka the boy your in love with, that just happens to be in love with with 𝘺𝘰𝘶,“ he replies.

My mouth falls open, the heat burning up my neck and face. He has rendered me speechless. I just stare at him for a moment, trying to think of an answer- but dont find one.

“Say something…”. He mutters. I shake my head, “I would say I love you too, but you already know,”. I say, feeling lightheaded.

I think of words Lucy had told me once. “What do you do when you have nothing to say?” I had asked her. “What do you mean?”

“I mean, when someone says something that makes you speechless. Or something that has no good reply. And you just dont know what to say…” i ask.

“Well, i do the one thing you 𝘤𝘢𝘯 do. I do not speak, i 𝘢𝘤𝘵. Sometimes actions speak louder than words,”. She had told me.

So, staring at Finn in the pouring rain- i do the one thing i can do.

I kiss him. And for once in my life, i dont regret it. I dont regret anything at all.
