CELIA FELL IN LOVE WITH THE CITY. the sounds, the smell, the people. she knew that she made the right decision on coming to vancouver for college, because even though it was no phoenix, it still felt like home to her.

she was excited to see finn too, of course. finn had asked celia if she wanted him to pick her up at the airport, but celia told him that she wanted to explore a little bit before he picked her up. maybe it was just for her to explore vancouver, or maybe it was for her to stall, but the real reason will stay unknown for now.

after a couple hours and a couple tim hortons coffees slurped down, celia knew it was time to see finn. she was excited, but she was still extremely nervous. the last time she had seen finn was at the airport in los angeles, and even though it was a day that she would always remember, she still hated thinking about it.

as celia sat on a park bench with 'the bell jar' in one hand, she used her phone and texted finn her location in the other. she wouldn't be back until fall, but celia knew she was going to enjoy herself here.

it was going to be a fresh start for her. she could leave all of the drama with her family, her past, and pretty much everything she didn't like about herself behind in arizona. sure, people may know her from her viral youtube video, which currently had thirteen million views, and being jack dylan grazer's ex, but at least she knew that she wouldn't let it define her.

nova was going to cornell university, while charlie and acadia were still going strong in vermont. even though the group hadn't been fully together in months, they had one big trip planned in mid august. celia still had her best friends, and she could never be more thankful for them.

she still talked to the it cast almost daily. her, jaeden, wyatt, sophia, and chosen had become their own little group, and they were extremely close. out of all of them, celia was closest to jaeden now. him and celia talk on the daily, and jaeden was even planning on flying out to phoenix when celia got back home for her and sateen to meet.

she still talked to finn, but after everything happened, things had become extremely awkward. they had lost their playful bond for the most part, and celia felt her heart hurt every time she thought about him. she knew deep down that the things she did with finn had brought out feelings that she never had expected to feel for him, but she didn't want to think about that right now

it had taken celia a while to get over jack, but she surprisingly got over him quicker than she expected to. well, i guess when you get cheated on and then sleep with their best friend, it's easier for you to get over them.

celia was jolted out of her own thoughts by the sound of a car horn beeping excessively. finn. celia sat up quickly and packed her stuff into her bags before running off to the parking lot. there, she saw a car with finn inside and she started running faster. finn got out of the car and wrapped his arms around celia when she reached him, and the two held onto each other awkwardly.

both of them had been expecting the hug to be awkward, but it was manageable. they pulled away quicker than you could blink, and finn immediately brought his hand up to scratch the back of his neck. celia brought her arms to her middle and embraced herself before she officially brought her gaze up to finn's.
