Do I have to go

That same day ...

Liberty High ...

Closing hour ....

"Isabella," Finn called as he walked up to her locker, she was trying to sort out her books and she didn't even react to her name or behave like she was being called.

"Isabella, you can't tell me you haven't heard me call your name all day!" He said sighing frustratingly as he stood beside her.

"Finn, do you happen to know me from somewhere before you came to this school,"

"If you do , can you please juggle my memory because I don't seem to remember,"

"We haven't met before," he replied, his brows creased in confusion.

"Exactly! That's my point,"

"Why then would you not leave me the hell alone!"

"Only yesterday we began talking, I got in trouble and detention,"

"This is pretty much not what I want for my final year as a high schooler!"

"It would be totally unheard of that I'd loose all the reputation I've gathered in the last four years because of a guy,"

"Thank you for helping with my speech,"

"But Olivia she really wants to be friends with you, you guys would make pretty good friends"

"And I'm absolutely cool,"

"Wait, calm down," Finn finally said immediately she gave him a word in.

"First of all, you didn't get in trouble because of me, Olivia was just being an ass, it wasn't my fault she was like that,"

"Well you kind of triggered it!"

"By wanting to be friends with you?! Olivia shouldn't get to decide who I or anyone else for that matter should be friends with!"

"I enjoy your company Bella, and if there's anyone I want to do final year with then it's you!"

"That's the thing, we only just met yesterday, how can you know this"

"What if I'm despicable just like she has said,"

"Well I know for a fact you're not,"

"Are you really going to give Olivia the satisfaction that she got you good?!"

" Don't spur me to do something bad Finn,"

"I'm not doing anything, but this is your life, final year for that matter, you should live it to the fullest,"

"Being friends with whomever you want to be with!"

"Unless of course you genuinely don't want to be friends" 

"Finn, I ..."

"It's okay Bella, Olivia's got nothing on you!"

"We're stuck with doing the science project together for two weeks how can we not be friends," he imputed.

"Shit! Shit!" She cussed as she slammed her locker shut and looked up at him.

"What's wrong?!"

"I totally forgot to register our name with the science teacher yesterday " she muttered.

"That's alright, I already did that,"

"You did?!"

"Yes and I got the topic too," he said and she smiled with an exhale of relief.

"You're such a life saver,"

"What?! I didn't get that can you come again?!" Finn said as moved closer to her.

"Oh please don't humor me!" She said as she slung her backpack against her shoulders.

"Friends for real?!" He asked stretching out his hands to her.

She looked down at his hands and then slowly back up at his face.

"Friends for real," she replied and took his hands.

They turned away from the locker and began to walk towards the exit,

"You're going home?!"Finn asked and she shook her head.

"I have detention remember," she said and he nodded slowly.

"Ohh,"

"Alright then, let's go" he said.

"What do you mean let's go, you can't go to detention without having detention!" She said with a small shrug.

"Oh really," he whispered as he looked around.

He saw a teacher approaching, her face was tied into a knot and right from first glance you could tell she was frustrated and angry, he dipped his hands into his bag and took out a bottle of smoothie, immediately he got to her he intentionally spilled the whole content on her body.

"What the hell!" She growled immediately turning to him.

"Oh snap!" He murmured exaggeratedly as he raised his hands to cover his mouth.

"I'm so sorry ma'am,"

"Gorge that sorry down your throat! Detention now!"

"Till the end of this week, with public service for the school!" She snapped and stormed off.

He slowly turned back to Isabella, winked and her and raised his thumbs up with a small smile, she bursted out laughing as she placed her hands across her chest staring at him.

Wilson Corp ....

"Thank you for coming in and doing business with us," Arthur said as he stood up and extended a hand of handshake to the man in front of him.

He had just sold off another property that Eleanor had started working on before what happened, happened.

"I hope to do more business with you in future," he added with an obviously forced smile, the man nodded as he walked out of the conference room.

"Arghhhh! This is so tiring " Arthur groaned as he dropped back to the chair tiredly.

"Can this girl just resume quickly and get back to her duty post!"

"Just a little scratch and she's making a fuss already," he muttered.

He picked up his phone and made to dial her number but on a second thought, he decided against it and ticked his phone in his pocket.

"Just two more days Arthur, two more day!" He murmured as he picked up the documents he came in with and headed for his office.

Later that night ....

Wilson Mansion....

"Do I really have to go with you?!" Penelope asked as she turned in her vanity chair to face Marshall who was seated on the bed, typing away in his MacBook.

"What do you mean do you have to go?!" 

"You know you have to be there for this outreach," he asked looking up at her.

She sighed frustratingly as she turned back to face the vanity mirror, she picked up her face cleanser applied it on a cotton wool and began to dab it on her face.

"Why must I be there,"

"What if I'm sick or something," 

"But you're not sick, why are you suddenly making this an issue this night!" He muttered.

"Because I'm not interested, you know how much I can't stand this people,"

"I only pretend and put up with them because of your public image,"

"Can you please stop this behavior, you're beginning to put this ideology in Arthur's head and he sees them as trash,"

"Well they are one!" 

"Can you please stop Penelope?! Stop!" 

"Because you grew up privileged doesn't mean you should treat the unprivileged less,"

"They're called less privileged for a reason,"

"Marshall can you stop pretending you don't know this,"

"They don't belong to our world,"

"I know you're doing this because of Matilda, the earlier you realize she's gone for good the better for you!"

"You're doing it again, you're bringing Matilda into this again,"

"Can you just give me a break!"

"Well you've never given me a reason not to bring her up in our conversations!"

"So me wanting to help is because of someone I dated in the past?!"

"Look, I'm not going to do this with you again,"

"If you don't want to go for the program tommorow, you can just stay at home and do you!"

"I'm never going to force you to do it again, you're right,"

"It's my vision, we don't have to share the same vision!"

"Thank you!"

"That's just what I wanted to hear all these days!"
