Nia x Mathew

Bozo

It's a bright and sunny morning you're on your way to school. The train stops at its next stop. A stranger sits next you.

"Hey"

You look over. It's Mathew.

Nia: Oh hey.

Mathew: So you wasn't gonna respond to me yesterday?

Nia: You couldn't tell that in person?

You give a sly smile.

Nia: If you want me you could've told me in person.

Mathew: Girl no body even want you.

Nia : Are you sure about that "cdot_mat"?

You start laughing.

Mathew: What's so funny?

Nia: Nothing.

Mathew: So, do you wanna go on a date with me or not?

You're shocked by his boldness. The train doors open and you run out. He chases you. You run all the way to the front of the school until you are tired. He stops right behind you. You feel his presence behind you. He turns you around. Both his hands on your shoulders while you're both painting.

Mathew: Why did you run away!

You try to speak but the words don't come out. You look up at him. your heart beat eases.

Mathew: You good?

You nod.

Nia: I need some space.

He carefully follows behind you.

Mathew: Can you just tell me why you're acting like this?

He grabs you by the arm. Your body freezes in shock. You turn around and you see a new side of him, sincerity.

Mathew: Is it what I said yesterday? Don't think about it too much okay.

He lets go off you and walks away.

*INCOMING CALL FROM "ALIANA" (ALLAN)*

Allan: Meet me at our spot he said quickly before hanging up.

You look back to see if Mathew is still around but he's nowhere in sight. So you head to "the spot".

THE SPOT//

Allan: It's been a while since I've seen you.

He kisses you on the lips.

Nia: Your breath stank.

Allan: Nice to see you've missed me too.

You groan.

Nia: What did you want to meet about?

Allan: I've heard you been hanging out with this guy.

He lights his cigarette.

Allan: Mathew is it? Do you like him now?

Nia: Yes I do.

You say confidently.

Allan: You can't be with the both of us you know that.

Nia: Says who?

Allan: I don't want to share you.

Nia: I'm not yours nor his and you bout to make me late to first period.

He draws your body in closer, intoxicated with your scent and leans in to whisper in your ear.

Allan: Stop hanging out with that boy or else.

You push him off and storm away.
