The Replay ✓
Something was terribly wrong, Finn could sense it. There was no point in trying to deny that it was a prank. Hair was back to how it used to be, people rose from the dead, and memories that made were suddenly forgotten.
Everything about the whole situation was terribly wrong, now that he thought about it.
"Ready to get to class?" Asked Audrey, a big smile on her face.
Finn Davis just nodded but stayed silent. They all started walking and out of nowhere, something pulled him in the corner he knew way too well. His eyes closed in surprise as he felt lips hit his.
"What the...?" started Finn but didn't get to finish his sentence.
"Babe, what is it? I just thought that I'd surprise you on the way to class." When Finn realized that the boy who kissed him was Brett, his stomach twisted and he wanted to throw up.
"What the hell are you doing, Brett?" he spat, but then something hit him.
If his theory was correct, Finn somehow traveled back to the first day of his senior year. And Brett hadn't cheated on him at that point. But he still felt like he was betraying himself by kissing him. Finn didn't want to kiss the boy that would end up cheating on him in less than three months.
"I'm sorry, I'm just not in the mood," he cleared up, trying to make it sound as genuine as possible.
If I really am reliving all of this, there was probably some way of keeping Brett from cheating, which would clear everything up.
"That's fine. I know how much this year means to you, so I get that you're nervous..."
The two boys walked back to Charlie and Audrey. Audrey nudged him from the side and moved to Finn's ear. "How was that, Finn sweetheart?" She asked jokingly.
And then it hit him. In this time and day, Finn still wasn't out publicly and nobody but Finn's closest friends knew about it. That was why Brett kissed him in private, and why Audrey was being secretive.
"I'm not in the mood for making out with him today, Audrey. There's just too much happening, and my mind is going places. I seriously don't know how I can still live..." Finn admitted truthfully. Audrey was the person he could trust and if things wouldn't go back to normal, he'd have to tell her what happened. And that didn't seem like a good choice, so he would wait until doing that.
"I didn't know that you'd ever turn away a smooch smooch session with Brett. Your past girlfriends maybe, but definitely not Brett Clarke. I mean, all you usually do is talk about how good his lips feel against yours, and all that."
"I don't want to talk about that," whispered Finn, trying to keep back the tears from coming out. How manly would that seem on his first day of school?
Then they stopped in front of Monday's first period. Finn had already memorized his schedule the year before.
I guess this means it really is senior year all over again...
