16: You Don't Have To Feel The Same

Nadia, Sophia and Donna are all done packing their bags and are headed out of the dormitory building to meet Drake and Finn at the car.

"I CANNOT wait until we finally get back to cabin". Sophia said with dramatic sigh. "I agree. Packing up took a lot longer than we thought". Nadia said as she cocked her brow. "Well, it was nice catching up with everybody, especially Susan and Mike". Donna stated with a smirk. "How is Susan"? Nadia asked in concern. "Don't worry, Nadia". Donna giggled as she nudged Nadia. "After you saved her, she's more than happy. But Mike decided that it would good for the both of them if they went back home for the weekend". Donna explained. "It's so sweet how Mike looks out for her". Sophia gushes and sighs dreamily. "Yeah, he's really good for her". Nadia agreed.

Suddenly, Charlie comes walking up to the girls. "Oh hey, guys"! He says happily. "Charlie"! Donna screams with excitement as she runs to Charlie, jumping into his arms. Nadia leans in the whisper to Sophia. "Whose Charlie"? She asked in confusion. "Donna's boyfriend". Sophia replies as she goes to greet Charlie.

"How ya been, labrat"? Sophia jokes as she hugs him. "Well, I took the internship at the Andel Falls Science Center a while back and I thankfully came back in one piece". He said with chuckle. He looks at Nadia. "Oh hey you must be the new freshman that Donna's been telling me about". Charlie shakes Nadia's hand. "I'm Charlie aka the love of Donna's life". He says playfully. "I'm Nadia, it's certainly nice to meet someone that Donna's close to". She said with a smile.

"Hey babe, have you seen Drake and Finn"? Donna asked as she grabbed her bags again. "Oh yeah, last time I checked they were headed to Nate's dorm but I left right after that to see if you were here". He said as he put an arm around Donna. "Well, how about you walk us back to Drake's car"? Donna asked. "Of course, sweetheart". Charlie says as he kisses Donna on the cheek. "They are adorable". Nadia whispered to Sophia who excitedly agrees.

They all walk back to the car and see no sign of Drake or Finn. "Well, they're still not here". Sophia sighed. "Do you want me to wait with you guys until they come back"? Charlie suggested. "No, honey, we'll be fine. Are you sure you can't come with us to the cabin"? Donna said with a pout. "Now, you know that I would if I wasn't so busy". Charlie said as he held her hands. "I know". Donna says as she hugs and kisses him goodbye. "I'll see you guys on Monday. It was nice meeting you Nadia"! Charlie says as  he waves to the girls and jogs over the boys' dormitories.

"Well, he's really nice"! Nadia commented. "I love him so much". Donna sighs happily. " That is just too cute! Sophia squeals. "Oh, here we go". Donna rolls her eyes and smirks. "Instead of worrying about me, how about we try and figure out a way to get Finn and Nadia together"? Donna asks with a evil smirk. "Guys, stop". Nadia says as she sits on the hood of the car and smiles. "I mean, he's obviously into you"! Sophia adds. "Shut it". Nadia ordered with a giggle.

As the girls joke around, they see Drake and Finn walk up. Finn looks disheveled and angry he carries his bags, while Drake looks concerned. "Whoa, what happened to you guys"? Donna asked as she leaned on the car. "Nothing, let's just get out of here". Finn mumbles as he throws his bag in the trunk, gets in the passenger seat and angrily closes the car door. Everyone puts their bags into the trunk and get into the car.

Later that night, they all arrive at the cabin and start to unpack when they all get to their rooms. Donna makes dinner for everyone but Finn doesn't come out to eat, in fact, since they got back from the University, he hasn't been out of his room at all. Everyone has tried to get him out but he  wouldn't budge.

Around 2 in the morning, Nadia, whose already dressed for bed, finishes folding her clothes into her suitcase, when she hears someone knocking on he bedroom door. She goes to open it and Finn comes rushing in. Before Nadia can say anything, Finn interrupts her. "Close the door". He says breathlessly. Nadia closes the door and turns to Finn.

"Hey". Nadia said awkwardly. "Hey". Finn said as he avoided her eyes. "Are you okay"? Nadia asked as she slowly walked up to him. "Yeah, it's just that I need to tell you something. It's been stuck in my head for a while". He stated. "Oh, okay". Nadia replied as she stood in front of him with her arms crossed.

Finn awkwardly shifted as he began to speak. "I understand if it's not a good time for you, I just-". "No, no it's fine". She said as she sat on the edge of the bed. "What did you want to say"? She asked.

Finn was visibly becoming more nervous, as he looked at Nadia and was starting to notice. "Finn, is something wrong"? Nadia asked as she stood up from the bed and she walked closer to him. Finn jumped as Nadia unexpectedly grabbed his hand, holding it in order to calm him down but for Finn, Nadia was just making it worse. His heart was beating a mile a minute, as Nadia's face inched closer to his.

Without hesitation, Finn grabs Nadia by the waist, pulling her closer, and kisses her. Nadia's eyes widened in utter shock and realization, as she tries to process what's happening. Finn is kissing her. He's kissing her, the foreign freshman that just showed up less than two weeks ago, a girl that he barely knows.

Her mind began to race. She had a million questions in her head, about Marie, about their friends, and most importantly about her and Finn.

Finn stops and opens his eyes to see Nadia breathless and in shock. Finn is suddenly filled with extreme embarrassment at what he just did. "I'm sorry, I think I should go". Finn mutters in a shaky voice as he hurriedly leaves the room. Nadia tries to stop from leaving. "No, Finn, wait-"! But, unfortunately, she's too late.

The room is completely silent as Nadia thinks about what just happened. "Finn just kissed me". She thought as she began to smile and giggle to herself. That kiss surely left her thinking.
