you and your boyfriend, finney, were near complete opposites. it didn't stop you two from hanging out after school, or going to the nearby ice cream parlor for a date. but, it always seemed odd to others when you, a popular friend to many, point out your boyfriend, finney, the boy who seemed to hate social interaction.
it didn't upset you in the slightest. in fact, you liked the way the people openly gawked and glanced back and forth at you while finney awkwardly waved from across the hall.
today was no different. one of the new students had come up - a cocky boy who thought very highly of himself. he had grinned as he asked you out, completely obvious to your real boyfriend just a few lockers down. you had laughed, leaned over and pulled a now reddened finney to your side. and explained you were already taken. the boy had stalked away after a wave from finn.
you laughed as he rubbed his face, rolling his eyes a bit. "stupid people -" he sputtered, "i'm your boyfriend!" he grumbled, face reddened.
