Chapter 2
They barely even knew each other. Rachel and Finn had been hanging out in and out school for a week and it already felt so familiar. She was finally finding a friend who accepted for who she was and listened to what she had to express, and he was happy to have someone in his new school that cared about him so much and helped him, because, let's just say he wasn't the best in grades, but having math, history and science with her helped, like, a lot.
But some things were about to change a little bit.
Finn liked sports. He really did. So he thought, why not try joining the football team? It wasn't the best team, but he could work that out. And he would find friends, besides Rachel, of course. So one afternoon, instead of hanging out with her, he went to the audition for the new quarterback. The coach told him he was excellent, maybe he would have to work out more, but he was excellent.
So here he was, laying on his bed, just got back from football practice. He didn't expect his mates to be exactly sweet-hearts, though, but he didn't expect them to be so bad either. When he was changing into the lockers room, they attacked him and told him he couldn't be on the team If he was friends with Rachel… but no way I'm leaving my best friend for this – he thought – they will have to get over it… He didn't really want to quit, but he didn't want to forget about her. He really liked her as more as he got to know her... it was different. It felt good just being by her side. Wait, he couldn't be into her… or could he?
He decided to talk to her the next morning, anyway
xxxxxxxxxx
He arrived to her locker, waiting for her as soon as he got to the school.
-Hey Finn – she smiled.
-Hi Rach, there's something I wanna talk to you about.
-Are you gonna tell me you don't wanna be my friend anymore?
-No! I would never do that! Even If they paid me to. Never. I just wanted to tell you I joined the football team, but that doesn't change anything between you and me, ok?
-Well, I don't exactly love the members of the football team, but If you're there I'll go cheer you up every game!
-Thank you so much. You're the best friend I've ever had.
They both looked in each other's eyes, smiling, until he talked again.
-So, um, we've been going to each other's houses and to the coffee shop for a while… do you maybe want to go somewhere with me on Saturday? Just something simple, like the movies or whatever you want, I don't know the city that well, but I figured you could help me and maybe we could have fun because I really like you and…
She touched his shoulder, giggling.
-Finn, It's okay. Text me the details and I'll see you tomorrow then.
They smlled at each other another time before he pressed his lips to her cheek and walked away.
What was it with this butterfly feelings in his stomach?
