lol i have no idea where this is going

___

iris fell backwards into her bed only to meet eyes with talia.

"look, tal, i don't even know what to think. he's a great guy. he's sweet, he's cute, man he really knows what he's doing. but he's finn wolfhard and i'm, well, i'm just iris apatow. and there's no was someone like me could be enough for someone like him."

talia was damn near ready to slap her. "great, you know your name. congrats!! and you, iris apatow, are good enough for him. you're better than good enough for him!"

"we haven't even talked! i fell drunkenly into his arms like some messed up fairytale, but it's nothing more than that and it never will be."

"then!" talia smiled. "we will have to take matters into our own hands!"

she swiped iris's phone off of her desk, and before iris could do anything, a message had already been sent to finn.

iris grabbed the phone out of talia's hands. "talia i swear to god i will murder you-"

she was surprised by the simple dm sent to the curly haired boy.

hey.

talia shrugged. "gotta start small."

___

it was a few days later that finn had answered this message. iris figure he had many, many other messages from all his fans or whatever, and by day 2 she had basically given up.

her face lit up upon seeing the notification.

before looking at the message, iris immediately texted talia.

me: HE ANSWERED
talia: finally! took him long enough. go get him, tiger!
me: yeah don't say that that's weird
talia: anything for u ;)

iris opened her dm's with finn.

finnwolfhardofficial: heyy! you're iris, right? from maddie's party?

her hands were sweating as she tried to come up with a response.

me: haha yep, that's me.
finnwolfhardofficial: well, it's nice to finally speak to you sober, miss apatow.

shitshitshitshitshit

me: ah shit i'm sorry about that. i swear i usually don't get like that.

iris cursed herself for the awkward response.

finnwolfhardofficial: I'm sure of that, iris.

iris's heart exploded, and it continued to with each new message from him. it continued for hours, then hours turned to days and iris had been talking with him for a week. it was hard to find a time when she wasn't talking with him. and at each notification, still, her heart skipped a beat. she'd only seen him once, but she was almost positive she was falling for him.

it was later that week that she received a call from reylynn, one of her good friends, that lightened up her day almost as much as a message from finn would.
