M i l l i e*.•*

(A week later)

"Do I look nice, and not like a walking trash bag?" I ask Sadie who was helping me get ready for Finn and I's first real date

"You look like a walking rose darling" she said looking away from her work at me for a split second

I let out a breath "thank you" I looked in the mirror and straightened out my red dress, it was a tight dress and ended right above my knees, grace had lent it to me for the night

"Ok I'm gonna go wait outside, love you" I say as I walk out the door

"Love you tooooo" she said back

I walked outside and waited in the small garden that separates the girls and the boys dorms

Minutes passed so I sat down on a bench and scrolled through my phone, sooner or later I felt a tap on my shoulder

"Hey princess" Finn said as I stood up

He was wearing a button down grey shirt with his everyday black jeans

"Hi" I kissed him, it was short but sweet

"You look very, very nice" he said tucking a strand of hair behind my ear

"Thanks, I had to borrow this from grace since I don't have any dresses" I giggled as we walked towards the student parking lot

When we got to his car he opened the door for me, the went over to his side

He wasn't talking much so I knew he was nervous

"You okay?" I smiled

"Yeah yeah, oh uh-" he turned around to get something from the backseat

He handed me a bouquet of roses with little papers hanging from each one

"I wrote little things that would make you happy if you're ever sad, and attached one to each rose" he smiled

My face lit up, I loved when he made thoughtful things like this for me and my friends, "Thanks Finn, I love when you do cute stuff like this" I smelled the roses

-

We pulled up next to the restaurant and we both looked at it, it looked really nice. Like too nice, for two high schoolers.

"you sure we want to go here, I mean I would be fine just going to the diner" I offered, wishing that he wanted to go to the diner too.

"I was hoping you would say that, he laughed out, I giggled too, slightly relieved we didn't have to go there

-

"We will have one plate of nachos with everything on it and two chocolate milkshakes" Finn ordered

"Okay kids, it'll be right out" she winked and went to go take somebody else's order

"Gosh haven't been here in so long" I said looking around the old diner at all the small details, like the red frames engraved with little patterns, outlining each photograph on the wall, the red matched the booth seats perfectly, and my dress.

"Yeah we used to come here everyday of the summer with Sadie and Noah, then walk back to school. That was like what? freshmen year?" he said studying the old diner like I was

"Yeah, that was perfect" I said sighing, I wished that I still could be that happy.. but I hadn't been for a while. Finn took my hand that was laying on the table, "you are perfect, I love yo-"
