Boys don't cry - the cure

I jump out of the shower, brush my teeth and then blow dry my hair, I am so excited, today is the day we start filming and I will meet the IT cast. I put on a white crop top, blue jeans and white converse, I don't want to wear anything too fancy because I know I'll be getting in costume when I get there.

The car ride to set feels like an eternity, my heart is beating ridiculously fast and I can't sit still.
"Y/N, calm down, you're going to be fine, I bet he'll be lovely and you'll get along great" my mum says putting her hand on my arm. She not only knows about my dreams of becoming an actress but she also knows how much I have a crush on Finn, she knows that this is a huge deal. I give her a small smile and then turn to look out the window, practicing what I'm going to say to him in my head.

~15 MINUTES LATER~

We pull up to a large building, but it doesn't look anything like the set of the film.
"Mum I thought we were filming today?"
"No, all the cast members need to meet each other first before you start filming, I think there's going to be some kind of table read."

Oh great, so I totally could have worn a better outfit to meet him 🙄.
I hop out the car and take in my surroundings, I can't believe this is actually happening.
My mum and I walk in the building, sign in at the front desk and get directed to a room down the hall, we're told that only one other cast member was here at the moment as we're a bit early. I hope it was him in there, me and Finn alone in a room together...

I slowly turn the handle and walk in. I feel my heart drop to the pit of my stomach and it feels like my insides are doing somersaults. There he is. He turns around and looks at me with his deep brown eyes. As he moves his dark curls cutely flop over his face, it looks so soft, I have to restrain myself from going over and ruffling his hair. I don't know if he knows who I am, whether he knows I will be playing his love interest in the show. I walk over and stick my hand out to greet him,
"Hi, I'm Y/N, it's really nice to finally meet you" oh god, does that make me sound too eager, like I'm obsessed with him, I feel the blood rush to my cheeks, turning me into a human tomato.
It feels like an eternity before he says anything, he takes my hand and shakes it, making me realise how sweaty my hand is,
" I'm Finn"
"Yeah, well obviously,"  I say laughing. He is not. I bet he hates me already. "Anyway, are you excited to star-" he cut me off before I can finish,
"Look we don't have to be friends, I've read the script and we have some passionate scenes together, I think it would be better if we weren't that close, so then the fans can't start rumours, ok?"
" oh, ok," I feel my whole body deflate. This is  ridiculous, one of the main reasons I auditioned for this show was to get to know the cast, especially Finn, and now I find out that he wants nothing to do with me.

We stand in silence for what feels like centuries until the tension is broke by two curly haired boys, one with brown hair who was shorter than the other and one with light brown hair. I recognise them instantly, its Jack and Wyatt. I restrain screaming, I'm such a fan girl. Finn goes over and hugs the both of them while I stand awkwardly in the back. It's  day one and I already feel so out of place.

~FINNS POV~
I go over and greet my friends, acting like nothings wrong. I feel so guilty. She probably thinks I'm a complete asshole. But this is for the best, she's new to being famous, and she doesn't understand what would happen if fans see us getting close. I'm scared that she'll be threatened or bullied online, sometimes my fans are crazy. Another reason is I don't want us to get too close and then the same thing happen like it did to me and Millie. Being shipped constantly ruined our friendship and now things are so awkward.
I turn around and look at Y/N, the look on her face kills me, she looks so miserable.

~YOUR POV~
After a while everyone has arrived and I make small talk with the rest of the cast, well except for Finn, there's the cast from the original film but then also some new people like myself. I look across the room and notice a boy looking at me, as I turn and face him he quickly looks away. I look closer at him and realise it's Jaeden, I haven't spoke to him yet, so maybe that's why he's looking at me. I jump off my chair and walk over to him.
" Hi, I'm Y/N, and you're Jaeden, right?" I ask, smiling at him. Why am I only just realising now that he's really cute? I look forward to getting to know him 😉
"Yeah, that's me," he replies, " how's your first day?"
" It's good, yeah, I've made friends with mostly everyone."
"Mostly?" He asks, turning his head quizzically.
"Well yeah, nearly everyone's nice, except Finn, he kind of rejected me and said we can't be friends"
" Wow that's not like Finn at all, do you want me to talk to him"
" No, it's ok, maybe he just doesn't like me." I shrugged.
"That's ridiculous, how could someone not like you?" He says, with his cheeks turning slightly pink. Oh my god, he's so cute. I laugh and we both look at each other, maybe this could be the start of something. Still, I can't help glancing at Finn every now and then, I can't help liking him. What am I going to do?
