Your Secret's Safe With Me

BC 1: Johanna

**Time Skip* It's the next day, and Finnick just finished his chemistry class, and plans to go ask out Johanna.*
Finnick: *Oh my gosh what am I doing?! She's never gonna say yes! I should have never decided to do this in the first place. And- wait, no. I promised Nini I would and I told her I'd try to live a little. You know what, you got this Finnick, just walk on over and ask. You can do it, you can do it. Do it for Nini, do it for Nini* *I walk over to Johanna* Hi Johanna
Johanna: Oh hey Finnick! How are you?
Finnick: I-I'm good. *oh my goodness, man up!* How are you?
Johanna: I'm good. I'm honestly ready for the semester to be over though
Finnick: *laughs* Same, it's getting a little bit stressful
Johanna: a little bit... more like a lot a bit! You must be crazy smart Finnick *laughs*
Finnick: Oh *laughs* I guess you're right, a lot a bit stressful
Johanna: so what's up? Do you need something?
Finnick: Oh, um I just wanted to ask you if you would be interested in uh, going on a date with me. Like this Saturday or something
Johanna: oh let me check my schedule... Mmm looks like I'll be busy going on a date with this boy named Finnick *smiles*
Finnick: Oh that's okay- wait, that's me *laughs* Sorry, I was just really nervous
Johanna: no need to be nervous *laughs* count me in! Where are we going?
Finnick: Um I was thinking like Olive Garden. Unless you're like gluten free or something, because it would suck to not be able to have any bread sticks *laughs a little*
Johanna: oh I'm so in! The bread sticks are the BEST part.... I mean you really can't go wrong at all. 7 okay?
Finnick: Yeah, Perfect. Um can I get your number?
Johanna: Yeah of course *I type it in your phone*
Yeah of course
Finnick: Thanks, so I'll pick you up Saturday at 7?
Johanna: perfect! I'll text you my address
Finnick: Sounds great, I'll see you later Johanna
Johanna: bye Finnick!
Finnick: *Oh my god I did it! I actually asked her out! Oh, I have to tell Nina! *I get back to my dorm and call Nina*
Nini: Hey Finny what's up?
Finnick: I asked her out Nini
Nini: JOHANNA?! Oh my gosh what did she say!?
Finnick: She said yes...
Nini: FINNY! I'm so happy for you!! You deserve someone to make you happy instead of just dealing with my stupid emotions all the time *laughs*
Finnick: Hey, your emotions aren't stupid, you just have a lot of them *laughs*
Nini: that's true *laughs* so what's the plan? Where are you taking her?
Finnick: This Saturday, I'm taking her to Olive Garden
Nini: ooooo Olive Garden! You know I'm a sucker for Olive Garden. I'll have to get Ricky to take me one day
Finnick: I bet he will *laughs*
Nini: yeah? *laughs* well, you'll have to tell me all about your date
Finnick: Of course *laughs* So, how are you?
Nini: I'm good, great actually. Ricky just left. We just worked on homework then we played uno. I didn't get to see Chloe today though, so that's kind of sad
Finnick: Oh Chloe, she cracks me up *laughs* Did you win uno?
Nini: I won the 1st round, then he won the rest. I kind of think he was just goin easy on me *laughs*
Finnick: *laughs* At least you won once
Nini: this is true *laughs*
Finnick: *laughs* Um I have a question
Nini: what's up?
Finnick: How do you um, flirt with a girl. I haven't really been on a date since like sophomore year *laughs*
Nini: your asking the wrong person *laughs* you know I've never had a boyfriend till Ricky!
Finnick: *laughs* Well what do girls like in a guy? What do you want to hear I guess?
Nini: oh my gosh Finny *laughs* Um, I like when Ricky talks about Chloe, it shows he's a loving brother and cares so much for the other people in his life.
Finnick: So should I talk about you?
Nini: do whatever you want. Whatever feels right in the moment. Just ask her questions, get to know her a little better... maybe throw in a joke or two.
Finnick: Oh, you know I'm the master of comedy *laughs*
Nini: *laughs* Sometimes.
Finnick: *laughs* Okay, well I have some work to do so I'm gonna have to let you go Nina
Nini: okay! I love you Finny! Bye!
Finnick: Bye Nina! Love you too *hangs up*
Finnick: *I could ask... no that's so weird, but- Do I do it? I mean, it's not like we'll start fighting again. We're good now.*
*Texts Ricky* Hey Ricky. So, today I asked out the girl I was talking about yesterday and I wanted to see if you could help me a little. You see, I haven't been on a date since like Sophomore year and I was wondering, how do you like, flirt with a girl? It sounds kinda odd for me to ask this but I genuinely don't know what I should do. So any tips would be appreciated lol
Ricky: *texts* Oh um, hey Finnick. 1st if all I'm happy for you man. You deserve someone that makes you happy. I um, I'm sorry, are you asking me how to flirt?
Finnick: Yeah I am. I know it sounds stupid but I honestly don't know how to. And I'm assuming that you do
Ricky: *texts* well, are you asking what I did with Nini? Because we just kind of hated each other till we didn't lol. I introduced her to Chloe and she pretty much did the "flirting" for me
Finnick: *texts* That's exactly what she said lol. I just assumed you knew things from before her
Ricky: *texts* I never really a girlfriend before Nini.... they were all.... girls that I- that's not important. Um, just be yourself man. I know that sounds weird coming from me, but seeing how you were right up and ready to protect Nini and how you call her each day just to check on her... those are the kind of things that make you special. Just be yourself
Finnick: *texts* Okay thanks. I'm low-key really nervous for Saturday though. I don't know why I am but I just feel like I'm gonna mess up or something
Ricky: where are you taking her?
Finnick: Olive Garden
Ricky: oh! I love Olive Garden! I'll have to take Nini one day. Don't be nervous, there's no need. I legit got on top of the lunch table and shared everything I planned on keeping hidden for going on like 5 years. You will be fine lol. If you see she's not into something your doing, then just switch it up. Don't worry about it
Finnick: Thanks man, I appreciate it. Also, Nina LOVES olive garden. It's probably her favorite place in the world. If she's ever sad or mad for whatever reason, Olive Garden is the way to cheer her up.
Ricky: oh really? Awesome! I'll have to take her! Thanks Finnick
Finnick: You're welcome. Thanks for the advice, I'll have to tell you guys how it goes on Saturday
Ricky: yes please do!
Finnick: Tell Chloe I say hello!
Ricky: haha I will! She basicaly worships the Salzar-Robert's hah
Finnick: She's absolutely adorable lol. Thanks again man. Bye Ricky
Ricky: bye
