'Weird...' I thought to myself.

Billy's pov

I did a mental victory dance. 'First conversation down. Now to become friends.' I grinned and took out my phone.

I chuckled.

Finney's face flashed in my mind, and I instantly felt worried. 'He did look pretty bad today.' I sighed. 'I'll ask Donna.'

-

DM between Billy and Donna

Billy: Hey Donna, do you know why Finney looks so worn out today?

Donna: Idk, but it's probably because he didn't get much sleep. Nor did he eat today.

Billy: Why not?

Donna: He doesn't tend to tell me why he doesn't get sleep, and he just says he isn't hungry.

Billy: Alright.

Donna: Ik u guys don't know each other, but try to keep an eye on him. I'm worried, but he won't ask anyone for help. He's too independent.

Billy: Okay, I'll try

Donna: Thanks, Billy

-

I sighed. 'God damit Finney...' I ran my hands through my hair. 'Why don't you depend on people.' I huffed and exited the classroom.

I walked to a lunch table and opened the group chat again.

Sluts‼️

Paperwhore: We have a problem

Ceilingfan: What now

Pinbawlz: Idc

Basebawlz: Can it wait

Tweetybird: Later?

Paperwhore: It's about Finney

Ceilingfan: WHAT HAPPENED TO MY HONEY BUNCHES OF OATS????

Paperwhore: He hasn't met u b4?

Tweetybird: Wtf happened to him? What'd u do?

Paperwhore: Why do u always assume I do smt ☹️

Basebawlz: Cos ur fucking stupid

Ceilingfan: STFU WHAT HAPPENED TO FINNEY???

Paperwhore: He isn't taking care of himself. He looks like absolute shit.

Ceilingfan: MY BABY🙏😭

Paperwhore: Again, he hasn't met u b4?

Basebawlz: I don't think it's our place to talk about him. He has his own problems. I mean, c'mon. We haven't even met him properly. We shouldn't pry.

Pinbawlz: Bruce is right.

Paperwhore: Ik, but im rly worried.

Basebawlz: We all are. But until we become friends, it's not our business.

Paperwhore: Okay, but if u see him, try to keep an eye on him. Cough Griffin cough

Ceilingfan: Obviously, I will. I'm not stupid

Pinbawlz: That's debatable.

Ceilingfan: Kys

Pinbawlz: Lyt

I smiled sweetly and turned off my phone.

'I hope Finney's alright...'

-

Finney's pov

I ran my hands over my face and walked into the cafe.

"Hey Donna." I spoke as I hung up my coat.

"Hey Finn!" She smiled sweetly at me, then she perked up.

"I want you to meet our new employee!!" She gestured for me to follow her, so I did.

-

We walked to the cash register, and Donna turned to Willow.

"Hey Willow, can you take over for Griffin? I need to introduce him to Finn." Willow nodded and walked over to the register as Donna dragged a person over to me.

"Finney. This is Griffin!" She smiled and pointed towards the boy. He's short, has curly brown hair, hazel eyes, and a soft look.

My face flushed ever so slightly, and I held my hand out. "Hi! I'm Finney, but you can call me Finn." I smiled softly, and he held a soft smile.

"Hi..." He shook my hand. "I've heard about you from Billy."

His eyes widened. "What'd he say?" Griffin tilted his head.

"Nothing much. Just that you started working here and that you guys are dating." I shrugged, and he chuckled. "Yeah. He usually does that."

-

Griffin's pov

I had already introduced myself to Finney, and as I thought, he's drop dead gorgeous.

I pulled out my phone and texted Billy.
