The cafeteria was buzzing with activity. The sound of high school students sharing stories about their weekend, or talking about the latest gossip was nothing new to me. I stood at the doors scanning the crowd of people.

I spotted my friends and made my way over to the table. The conversations we had were always the same; the topic was always either school, work, or boys.

    "I think we should all go on a big group date together will all of our boyfriends!" Dani suggested; she was sort of like the leader of the group.

    "Okay, I think that's like a really good idea but some of don't have boyfriends." Ciara, my best friend, eyed me.

We both didn't have boyfriends, I did up until a few weeks ago. Mattia and I were pretty open about our relationship but there was a few bits we kept to ourselves, like our breakup.

The conversation continued as I zoned out, " Oh speaking of boyfriends, there's yours y/n." Dani gave me a smirk. She didn't know that Mattia and I weren't together anymore, in fact none of the girls knew except Ciara.

I looked down at the table already knowing he was there, The smell of his cologne confirmed my thoughts. I had tried so hard to avoid this boy at all costs but here we were sitting back to back in the cafeteria. My thoughts were immediately interrupted when I heard my name in their conversation.

    "So if you could spend one hour with y/n, no strings attached, would you?" One of his friends asked

I waited for his answer not knowing which one I'd prefer, soon enough he spoke up.

    "What exactly do you mean by 'no strings attached'?" His voice gave me a temporary high, I haven't heard it in so long It almost hurt.

    "No commitment or talking about feelings or any of that shit, you guys get to hook up then you go your separate ways."

There was a long pause until he finally answered.

    "Yeah, I guess." He mumbled. I wasn't sure if it was because he was embarrassed or if it was because he was lying but he seemed unsure about his answer.

A bubble of anger grew inside of me, we had agreed to keep our breakup private but he had already told all his friends. I stood up fast and the girls' conversation came to a halt and all eyes were on me.

    " I have to go." Flexing my jaw, I left the cafeteria and swiftly made my way to my locker.

An idea came to my mind. I wrote a small note for Mattia, I would see him on the bus and that would be the perfect time to give it to him.

Last period class felt as if it drew on for hours. Slightly tapping my fingers on the desk, I sat on the end of the chair, chewing the cap of my pen. I listened to the conversations around me.

    "I can't believe she actually gave him a blow job." The girl behind me whispered

    "I know, she's such a slut." Another girl joined in.

My heart raced when I thought about my plan but i tried not to, so i wouldn't change my mind. Soon enough the class came to an end and i got a jolt of adrenaline, trying to control it i walked quickly to my locker, grabbed the note and the rest of my belongings, shut the locker, and made my way to the bus stop. He was already there so I kept my distance not trying to draw attention to myself. There were a few times his gaze shifted over to me but no more than usual. The bus pulled up and I followed him as he got on. He sat down and i sat beside him earning a confused look from him. I didn't wait for him to say anything and handed him the note. He opened it and read it then gave me an even more confused look.

    " Yes or no?" I asked him.

    "What do you me.." he started to ask.

    "Yes or No?" I asked again cutting him off.

    "Okay, yeah... I guess," he hesitated

      "Okay. Give my the note," I demanded

        "Why?"

        "I don't trust you not to show your asshole friends, give me the paper," I demanded once more. He handed me the paper and just like that I left to my own seat and the bus took off.

I sat anxiously in my seat waiting for my stop to approach, it was one of the last stops and I usually never minded but in this moment all I wanted to do was get off the bus. I read the note over and over wondering if this was a bad idea trying to catch any small errors in my words, hoping I didn't sound like an idiot 'come to my house after school, no strings attached' I read to myself one last time then crumpled the paper and stuffed it in my pocket.

Mattia's stop was the one before mine and I kept my eyes on him as the bus stopped opening the doors to let the other students off. He glanced back at me and I looked down at my hands as the Bus started rolling again.

As the bus slowed to a stop again, Mattia stood up and exited, he stood on the sidewalk waiting for me. When I got off I turned my head away from him and tried to walk swiftly attempting to make it seem like I didn't care if he followed me or not. But surely enough his footsteps echoed mine as I made my way to my house. He walked a few feet behind me and it made me wonder what he was thinking. Was he trying to make it seem like he wasn't following me, was he just as nervous as I was, did he not want anyone around us to know he was with me.

As I approached my door I unlocked it with shaky hands and called out to my mom, making sure she was still at work. When there was no answer I stepped inside letting Mattia in and made my way to my room.

Once we reached my room I dropped my bag next to my desk and he closed my door gently and looked at me with gentle eyes.

"Are you sure about this?" He asked as I walked towards him.

"Shut up," I told him before looping my arms around his neck and connecting our lips.

I mindlessly drew shapes onto Mattia's bare stomach as my head rested on his chest. I listened to his heart beat taking in the moment before pushing myself off of him. I slid my underwear back on and sat on the edge of the bed with my back to him.

"You can go now," I told him quietly. When he didn't move from his spot I looked back slightly seeing him watching me, "What?" I raised my eyebrows and he gave me a little smile.

I felt his warm hand rest onto my hip and I almost melted into his touch when he started to caress my hip with his thumb, "We should talk," He said.

"No," I placed my hand on top of his to stop him, "No strings attached just like you wanted," I said earning a confused look from him.

"In the cafeteria, you said you wanted to hook up with no strings attached," I said and he finally pulled his hand away from my hip and propped himself up.

"How do you know about that?"He asked.

"I was sitting right behind you," I told him, his mouth opened then closed again.

"I... I didn't even noticed," He said scratching his head.

"That's why were better off broken up Mattia, you don't really seem to notice me anymore," I told him and he looked at me with regret.

"Y/n," He said with sincere eyes.

I didn't answer him, instead I stood up grabbing a clean shirt from my dresser then walking into my bathroom, "I'll see you around," I said before closing the door to pee. (make sure you pee after sex or you'll get a dui)
