I open the front door and walk up to my bedroom. I open my closet expecting a miracle outfit to be ready for me to pull out.

Luckily ten minutes later this is what I pull out:

I look at the time: 5:10.  I better get going.
Alejandro only lives about 2 blocks down from my house so I'll probably be there before 5:30.

Something about going there makes me feel nervous. I wonder if Mattia's gonna talk to me.

I want him to. I want him to explain everything. Because I've been feeling so clueless these past years.

Thank god he didn't read that letter.

-

I knock on the door. I hear some sounds coming from inside and then Alvaro opens the door. "Hey, Dawn" he says.

"Hey"

I walk inside. Mattia's sitting on the couch staring at me blankly. His eyes linger down to what I'm wearing and he looks back up at me.

I hadn't seen that side of him. The side that looked at me like that. It's new to me.

"Hey, come sit" he says. He pats the empty space next to him.

I plop down besides him. I haven't been this close to him in years and my heart's beating so loud he probably hears it.

Alejandro walks into the living room. "Dawnnnn!" He walks up to me and gives me a hug.

Mattia eyes him as he sits down on the opposite side next to me. "So" Alejandro says.

"Wanna watch a movie?"

"Sure" I say. We all begin to get up and head to Alejandro's room but I feel someone grab my arm. It's Mattia .

"Can I talk to you for a sec?" He says. He has this serious look on his face and it makes me worried for some reason.

What would he wanna talk about ?

"Okay.." I say.

"What about the movie?" Ale asks as he's halfway to his room.

"Dude chill. You'll be fine without Dawn for a few minutes" Mattia says to him as he rolls his eyes.

Alvaro starts laughing and pats Ale on the shoulder. "C'mon bro. Let's go watch the movie" they head upstairs and Ale looks back at me. He seems.. upset? I don't know. I can't read these guys well.

I sit down and Mattia sits right next to me. Our legs are touching and I feel like if he gets any closer I'm gonna practically melt onto the floor.

"So what'd you wanna talk to me about ?" I say.

He looks me in the eyes. His are so pretty. I wonder if he's gonna act like we don't know eachother. Maybe he forgot  everything about me, who knows.

"I- I should've told you the truth when you asked me"

I furrow my brows. Oh no. I knew it had to about the letter I wrote. It's the only time we've talked in a while what else would he be referring to.

"About?" I say.

"I ...read your letter" he says quietly.

I kinda wish he would talk to me about something else. Like how I've been or how he's doing lately.

That letter doesn't show how I feel about him. It's all bottled up.

But instead, we're talking about how he read my letter. And now he knows how I feel about him.

"Oh my god" I say. I feel my hands shake.

"I'm sorry . I shouldn't have read it "

"No no I shouldn't have written it" I begin standing.

"Where are you going?" He says.

"I should  leave" I start heading for the door when he begins standing up.

"No no no" he blocks the door "I found your letter really cute" He smiles and looks down at my hands.

"Really?" I say, redirecting his eyes to mine. He goes silent for a sec and then he smiles.

"Yeah"

A smile forms on my face and I feel myself blushing. Oh god is this really happening?

"Before Ale asks you, Theres this party I'm having tomorrow. And I wanted to know if you'd maybe wanna come?"

A party? Parties aren't really my thing but maybe it'll be fun?

"Uh- yeah, sure"

"Cool" he smiles. " do youuu wanna go watch the movie now ?"

I nod and we head upstairs.
