Strings In My Veins ( Puppeteer x Reader )

Chapter three

That was the last I seen of Jonathan that year and addition to that, Finn graduated high school and left me alone with no friends and zero common sense of how to survive this hell hole. I became somewhat happier, not because my only friend was gone but some sudden rush of happiness spread through my life. Possibly it's my close bonding with my sister that happened when she left for college. Or maybe it's the fact that my dad met someone and she's currently living with us, and the best part is that it's not awkward calling her "mom".It's the most motherly love that I've ever been given from my real mom. Everything's going great and I know I should be happy about that but I know that this isn't going to last. Somethings coming.
It's now fall of 2018 and an upcoming new year of my sophomore year. This time I'm starting with no friends but I hope I meet someone like Auggie Finn Jackson. I still think about the warning I got from Jonathan about him...why wouldn't I trust him? He's my best friend.
Anyway, speaking of Finn, he invited me to a party at his college dorm room since I'm 16 and it's part of the "teenage angst experience" or whatever the hell that means. I'm going, though, and my dad wouldn't care less. He would actually be glad to get me out of the house for once and not moping around in the same routine daily.

9.14.18// coming home from school on Friday

I walked along the cracked sidewalk to my front door and slid my dirty converse off my feet quickly. I dropped my book bag on the floor, filled with pages of homework for the weekend, dramatically, and practically ran straight up to my room upstairs. Finn is picking me up today but he didn't say what time which now that I actually have time to think about that's a pretty shitty thing to do, but I can't be mad at him. I threw on a Nirvana band tee with some regular dark washed jeans with some converse that actually aren't falling apart hence my school shoes. I looked into the mirror and shrugged my awkward shoulders, close enough to looking decent.

I then heard a repetitive tapping sound on my window. I turned my head to face the window and walked to open my black curtains only to see Finn throwing pebbles to the window. Oh, wow, such a romantic.
I opened my window and leaned forward to see Finn with a small smirk appearing on my face.

"Would thy come to thee formal gathering?" Finn joked as he bowed clumsily, making his dark blue hair cover his eyes. I finally accepted that I have a crush on this dork when he graduated. We went to prom together as friends but I pretended it was an actual date, but as if someone like Finn would date a sophomore—especially if it's me.

"Thy thought thee formal gathering was later," I shot back at him playfully. He laughed and shrugged his limp shoulders.

"It is but do you want to help setting things up?" He asked. I smiled and nodded.

"Yeah, I'll help," I said a little too quickly with a sheepish expression planted on my face.
