Chapter 1: The protector
I look up as Finnick walks into the room. I quickly go back to my book I hope he doesn't notice me.
"Hi Annie!" Finnick says as he sits down right next to me. "How are you today?" He keeps staring at me, but I don't know way to say. I can't keep my thoughts straight.
"I'm hi, how are you looking great today?" I let the words tumble out of my mouth. "I mean Hi, I'm fine how are you?" I hope he doesn't think I'm a total freak.
"Well I keep myself looking so awesome through lot's of hard work and knowing such beautiful girls as you. And I'm doing great" He answers both questions as if nothing was weird about what I said.
I hear a noise and look around Finnick to see Ainslee standing behind him. I know I'm in trouble now Ainslee hates me, because Finnick always talks to me even though according to her I'm weird and a freak.
"Hi Finn. Um, what are you doing talking to the freak? Aren't you afraid her weirdness will rub off on you?" Ainslee asks in her usual preppy tone. I watch as Finnick stands up. Now I know I have no chance with him. Of course he is going to choose Ainslee over me. He's just another member of her group.
"Ainslee, you are always being mean to Annie. Have you ever talked to her? And if you ask me the freak here is you. So grow up we aren't grade school anymore. I think your jealous Annie is prettier than you." Finnick says mimicking Ainslee's voice. I look up to see her suck a breath through her teeth. You can see the anger on her face. "Well aren't going to go sit with all your little friends?" Finnick asks, and she turns tale and runs. I can hear her crying as she sits down at the table she shares with all the so-called cool kids.
"Finnick, did you mean all that stuff you just said?" I ask not believing my own ears. Could Finnick Odair the most attractive guy in our school like me? The freak? I can't believe it I bet he is just working with Ainslee to play some sort of trick on me.
"Of course I do Annie. If you would just listen to me you would know that." Finnick says looking down at me. "Annie I've always liked you. But I would understand If you didn't like me. I can be a total jerk sometimes." He says as he sits back down next to me. Before he can fully sit down I'm running. I don't know where. It's not until I'm out the doors and running down Ocean St that realize where I'm going. I slow down and walk onto the beach. I sit where the water can just barely each my toes, and start thinking. could Finnick Odair the boy I've liked since the first grade, really like me back. I hear someone coming and look back to see Finnick coming towards me…
