Chapter 9: "You suck"

As the bell for dismissal rings, I begin to pack my stuff.

"So... I was thinking... let's go to the mall this after school tomorrow" Bri says, coming over to me.

"Actually, I have plans already" I tell her, apologetically, walking with her down the hall.

"Ouuu, with whoo?"

"With...me" we her Mattia say, catching up to us.

Bri looks between us two and raises an eyebrow.

"Are you two like..."

"NO!" Mattia and I both say at the same time.

"We actually are working on a school project together." He informs Bri.

"Ooo..kay, well another time then." She says, facing towards me. "Are you ready to go?"

"Sure."

We say goodbye to Mattia and drive off.
———————————————————————————

"Okay, seriously. Is there something I don't know about?" Bri asks me, collapsing on top of my bed.

"No," I say giggling. "We're just friends"

"Yea, 'okay'. On a real note, he's like... kinda hot.."

"Yea, I guess" I say, pulling out my laptop.

Ring! Ring!

                              Phone Call: Mattia🤪
y/n: Hello?

Mattia🤪: Hey, y/n. Are you busy?

Y/n: Not really, why, what's up?

Mattia🤪: Great! Well, I was wondering if you wanted to come over to start working on the project?

Y/n: Oh.. yea, uhh what time?

Mattia🤪: I can pick you up in like 5 minutes...?

Y/n: Actually, I think I'll drive. I'll be right there.

Mattia🤪: Okay, see you then.
———————————————————————————

I park and head up to the front door, before knocking.

"Hey! Come on in!" Mattia says, standing to the side.

I walk in, then wait for him to lead the way.

"We can work in my room. Did you want anything to drink?"

"I'm okay, thanks." I say, before following him upstairs.
———————————————————————————
A couple hours later..

We decided to take a break and play some games about an hour ago..

"Oh, that's no fair! You cheated!" I shout, before pushing Mattia a little.

"It's not cheating, it's called being skilled. Which you apparently aren't, being that I beat you three times in a row."

"Oh, whatever. You suck." I say, standing up. "Well, it's kinda getting late, I thinking I should get going.."

"Right, I forgot there was school tomorrow.." he says standing up and leading me downstairs. "So... tomorrow?"

"Sure," I say. "Same time?"

"Actually, I was thinking, maybe I could drive us after school..."

"Okay, that works, too." I say, pushing a strand of hair behind me ear. "Well, I guess I'll see you tomorrow."

He walks me out, I drive home, and fall asleep.
