she smiled brightly and i swore i could see the glimmer in her eyes. "finn, i really forgive you, but i'm still gonna be cautious about my feelings." she said, glaring down at her feet.

"millie," i said, lifting her chin up. "you don't have to be cautious. i swear i'll al-" i heard a knock come from my door. i heard the loud breathing of my mom.

"finn! millieeee!" my mom began, continuing to knock. i hope she knew i heard her. "i bet you two are making out, but come down for breakfast!"

"oh my god, mom, stop!" i yelled, as millie was laughing. "well, maybe." i glared back at millie, and her laughing smile turned red, and her face turned straight.

"i'm joking, millie. let's go," i said, grabbing her hand. i quickly tugged her down the stairs.

millie gasped, as my gasp was louder. we reached the bottom of the stairs and scanned over what my mom had set out. she never usually put much out for breakfast, usually just toast or a fruit.

this time was different. it was kind of like a breakfast buffet at golden corral. there was a little of everything. fruit, toast, different jelly flavors, eggs of all kinds, pancakes, waffles, omelets cut into pieces. there was just everything.

"oh my gosh, mrs. wolfhard. you're too kind!" millie said, kissing up to my mom. i stood back and sighed. they were conversing, until i cleared my throat loudly.

"yes finn," she began. "we can eat, but let millie get her food first!" i began to roll my eyes, but i quickly stopped myself. this is for millie. it's all for her, finn.

when millie was done, she motioned for me to go next. i got out of the line of foods quickly, and sat next to millie. "aren't you gonna get anything else?" i said, pointing at her half empty plate. she shrugged.

"probably when i'm done what's already on it, finn." she laughed, rolling her eyes.

"and you're probably right, millie." i said, clearing half of my plate quickly. my mom sat down in between the two of us and i smiled awkwardly at her. "oh, hey mom..."

"hey, mrs. wolfhard..." millie said, clenching her teeth. my mom could tell she was uncomfortable, and scooted away from millie and closer to me.

"mom, could millie and i sit.. alone?" i asked, looking at my mom awkwardly. she nodded, getting up. she tried to walk away quick, but couldn't help but snap a picture.

"oh my gosh! you guys are so cute!" my mom said, showing us the photo.

"mills, you look hot in that." i said, pointing to the dark screen of my mom's iphone 4.

"what?" she asked, her face flashing a dark red.

"what?"
