FINN's P.O.V.
I walk back to my house and my dad is waiting for me
- Where were you?
- I had something I needed to do
- Something? Where?
- LA
- Oh. You were supposed to see Jack today. Right?
- Yeah...
- Is everything okay?
- We broke up
- What?
- Yeah... we're just too busy to spend time with each other.
- Too busy? Kid, you're 14. Relax
- I can't, dad. I have lots of things to do
- You're anxiety is gonna go crazy, and you are pushing Jack away.
- You're on his side? My own dad?
- No. This is not about sides, kiddo. I thought you two loved each other
- Yeah. I thought that too
- Son... Why...?
I just look at him and leave.
I put my headphones on and start walking
Suddenly, some girl stumbles off her bike and falls in my feet
- Ouch
I take my headphones off and smile at her
- Are you okay?
She's really cute
- Yeah. You're Finn Wolfhard
- I am...
- You made me fall
- I did?
- You did. I'm a huge fan
I smile and take her hand
- Well, it was a pleasure to meet you
- Do you want to go for a drink? I mean... I own it to you for tripping over you
- Sure
- What?
- Sure
- Really?
- Yeah. Why not
We start walking to a Starbucks and I take her bike
- You know...? I don't even know your name
- OMG! That is my favorite Shawn Mendes song
She's weird, but funny.
- I'm serious!- I say, laughing
- My name is Miranda
- Nice name
- Thank you
She can't stop fangirling and it's pretty funny.
- What's your instagram? I'll follow you
- mirandawolfhardlover
- Miranda Wolfhard?
- Yes- she blushes- I told you I'm a big fan
- Just asking...
I start following her and upload a picture to my instagram account, so people- JACK- knows that I'm with her
- Oh my God. You uploaded a story with me! Can I do the same?
- Yeah, sure. But I have to warn you about this
- What?
- You're gonna get a lot of hate if people sees I'm with you
- Why?
- Because they'll think I'm dating you
- People will think I'm dating Finn Wolfhard? I don't give a shit about the hate!
I smile and she looks at me
- Shall we take a picture together?
- Sure.
- No, wait. I'll just post a pic of our drinks
- That's alright
- Done!
We keep talking for a while and then, she starts freaking out all of a sudden
- What happened?
- Jack Dylan Grazer from It saw my instastory!
I smile. My plan worked perfectly

JACK's P.O.V.
Chris looks at me and I throw my phone to the floor
- Hey. Calm down. Everything's okay
- We broke up, YESTERDAY. And now he's with a GIRL?
Suddenly, I receive a call
- Who is it?
- It's Finn's dad
- Finn Wolfhard's?
- Yeah. Who else?
I answer my phone and fake a smile, like somehow, Finn's dad is looking at me while we talk
- Hey
- Jack! How you doin?
- Well... I'm...
- That's awesome! Someone is acting normal at last
- What?
- I think something is wrong with Finn. She's with some random girl he met on the street, and now they're going to a concert in a week.
- Who's concert?
- Some boy this girl likes
- Which one? Please try to remember
- Hmm. Harry something?
- Harry Styles?
- Yeah. Exactly
- Finn? Going to a HS concert? That's not normal
- I know. What happened between you two?
- He's always too busy to see me. He's working with Calpurnia all the time and he misses our dates and it's not really nice. Why is he making this?
- You know...? Jeremy came the other day, and I heard Finn told him something about being jealous
- Jealous? When was this?
- Last week
- We were still together. Who was he jealous from?
- Someone called Christian
- Christopher?
- Yeah. Christopher...
- Richards?
- Exactly! Who is he?
- He's my co-star
- Oh. Okay. He was jealous because he saw some instagram posts
- Ugh. He's such an idiot. Why didn't he say something?
- I don't know, kid. But you two need to get back together
- I know, Mr Wolfhard, but I can't make this relationship happen if he doesn't want it to happen.
- Yeah. I'm gonna talk to him
- You shouldn't. He's really mad for some reason. Let me work this out
- Okay.
- Bye Mr Wolfhard
- Bye Jack
I look right at Jack
- Hey. Do you wanna go to a Harry Styles concert?
- Of course, but the tickets are already sold out
- I'll ask my dad for 2 tickets and we'll go together
- I didn't know you liked Harry Styles
- I don't
- Is this for Finn?
- I would like to say no, but you really hate when I lie to you.
- What did Finn's dad say about me?
- He told me Finn is jealous of you
- So now you're gonna use me to make him jealous?
- Just a little?
- You're the worst. You know that?
- Yeah...
- I want you to know I'm just doing this because you're going to give me Harry Styles tickets
- So you're in?
- Of course
I hug him
- Thanks Chris
- You're welcome.
My dad gets me the concert tickets two days after I asked for them. The concert is tomorrow and Chris and I are planning everything to make Finn jealous.
- So we're gonna go and the paparazzis are gonna take us some pics together?
- Yes, probably. It's a really important concert, so paparazzis will be all over the place
- Cool, okay.
- Any questions?
- Yes. Do you want Finn to think I'm your boyfriend?
- Maybe. Yeah
- Why?
- To make him jealous.
- Why did you even break up with him?
- Because I know we can't be together. And I know I'm making a mistake here, but I miss Finn, and without him, my life is starting to be a mess
- You two broke up 3 days ago
- I know, Chris. But I need to know Finn is there for me whenever I need him.
- But he wasn't. He missed the date
- I know that too, Chris. Thanks for reminding me...
- I'm just trying to help you, Jack. You know you're my best friend already and I don't want you to make a mistake
- Well, you learn from mistakes, so it's a risk I'm willing to take
- Okay little bro
- Don't call me that
- Why?
- It's creepy. You're about to fake I'm your boyfriend, and call me little bro?
- Ugh. That's true. Not cool. Sorry
- It's fine. Can we just go?
- Sure
When we get to the concert, we realize we weren't right. There are no paparazzis. Just fans, freaking out because they're gonna met their idol
- Fuck. This is not okay. No one will see us!
A fan comes to us
- Hey. You're Jack Dylan Grazer! From the It movie coming out in a few weeks. Aren't you?
- Yeah. I am
- Can we take a selfie?
- Sure.
- Should I...?- Chris asks
- No. Stay! You're Chris Richards. You'll be Jack's co-star. Right?
- How do you know that?
- I'm kind of a fan of you, so I follow you in every social media and you uploaded a few pics with Chris
- Oh, yeah. I did
She takes a selfie with us
- So make sure you upload the pic to instagram. I'll try to like it
- Thank you! Can I ask you something?
- Sure. What?
- Are you and Finn going out?
- No. We're not- I fake a smile
- So are you going out with Chris?
He starts laughing
- Why do you think I'm gay?
- I was just asking. Sorry if I bothered you
- No, you didn't. I was just asking why do you think I have a BOYfriend and not a GIRLfriend?
- Do you have a girlfriend?
- I do, actually.
- You do?
- Yeah. Her name's Ellie
- Oh. Okay... You said Fack was real
- It is
- But you're not with Finn
- It's real anyways. You made it real... all of the shippers
- That's so sweet
- Thank you
The girl leaves
- Why didn't you tell her you're going out with me
- Because I never told any fan I was going out with Finn either, so if she says something, Finn will believe we ARE going out
- That's kinda smart, but you're an idiot anyway
- Why?
- For breaking up with Finn.
- That was not a mistake
- But now you want him back
- Yeah. There's the mistake. I want him back, even though I'm sure he'll hurt me again
- You're so cheesy
- Oh, shut up

FINN's P.O.V.
When I wake up, I turn my cellphone on and get an instagram notification
"Jackdgrazer just posted a photo"
I open the app as fast as I can and see the picture.
- What the...?
- Finn?- my dad calls me
- What?
- Are you awake?
- Yes. I am
Jack was at the Harry Styles concert last night. And he wasn't alone. He was with Chris
- Son? Are you okay?
- Have you told Jack I'm jealous of his relationship with Chris?
- No. So that's why you broke up with him? Because you're jealous?
- He broke up with me, but it's the reason why I didn't show up to the date
I can't believe it. He's trying to make me jealous. But two can play this game.
I search on my gallery and find a picture with Miranda from last night. We're hugging and the HS sign is behind us.
I upload it to instagram, with a very provocative description
"Had so much fun last night @mirandawolfhardlover love you ❤️"
- What's with this new girl?- dad asks
I grab clothes from my wardrobe and put them on one of my bags.
I walk to the front door and scream
- I'm going to spend a few days at Noah's
- Finn? I know you think I'm on Jack's side here, but I'm not. I'm not taking sides. I'm just doing what I think it's right.
- And you think Jack is the right choice?
- Yes I do
I hug him and leave
- Wait
- What?- I ask
- Want a ride?
- Sure
I start sending messages to Noah, because I don't even know if he's home.
Lucky me, he's home for the entire week, so I'm gonna stay there until things get better
That night, my manager calls me
- Hey. What's going on?
- What the fuck have you done?
- What are you talking about?
- Who's that Miranda girl?
- She's a friend. Why?
- Your fans think you're dating her and they're going wild
- What?
- Everyone is attacking her, and YOU. They say she doesn't deserve you and all kind of things.
- I don't care.
- Well, you should. Your fans are all that matters
- She's my friend
- So you should tweet something. For god's sake. If you don't Miranda is gonna start getting more hate than she's already getting.
- She doesn't care
- Believe me, she will.
- Is that a thread?
- No, asshole. Just tweet something. Please
- Okay.
"I do not have a girlfriend! I'm only a baby boy!"
- What is this tweet?- Noah asks, laughing
- My manager's fault
- So the plan to make Jack jealous is ruined?
- Not at all... I have a backup plan, and this one will be perfect.
