Knowing Him // Matthew Espinosa Fanfic

Chapter One

Bella's POV

"Emma I'm not sure about this party, Matt is going to be there," I say as I watch Emma look through my closet.

"Who cares if he's going to be there? You said he doesn't even remember you," she replies.

"Maybe he does, but he's just not showing it because I'm not a bad boy like he is."

"Just stop stressing out about it, and let's go have fun." I groan.

Matthew Lee Espinosa was my best friend since we were born. He was pratically a brother to me. We did everything together until high school, that's when Matt thought he was too cool for everyone. He stopped talking to me in freshman year. Our parents stopped talking, and so have we. He acts like he doesn't know me, which makes me mad, but I shrug it off because he's just another bad boy.

Once I was done getting ready and Em has finished touching up, we headed off to the party, which I was frankly nervous for.

Once we got there, there were already kids drunk. The first person I spot once I get inside was Matt. He was obviously one of the drunkest ones there. I shoved my way passed people to go outside because even though we just got here, I already lost Emma in the crowd.

I walked outside where I hoped the music wouldn't be as loud, but I was wrong. I couldn't stand a big crowd with tons of loud music, at least not this loud. I love parties, but these types of parties with drunk kids everywhere sicken me.

"Have a drink," a familiar voice said behind me.

I turned to see Matt and his crew crowded around behind me. "No thanks, I'm good."

"C'mon Bell, just one," Matt said.

Damn, Matt must be really drunk this time because he just called me Bell, a nickname he gave me when we were five.

"Leave me alone, Espinosa," I sass.

"What's wrong? Is little Bell afraid of drinking?"

"Get the hell away from me Matt," I push him as I go back inside to look for Emma.

Out of every night, he talks to me tonight. This was the first time he's talked to me since freshman year. He would never talk to me unless we were forced to talk for a reason, but other than that, it was always silence between us.

I started searching around the house for Emma, but there was at least 200 drunk kids here, there was no way I was going to be able to find her so quick, so I decided to just walk home. There were a lot of kids in our school, and more than half of them drink and get drunk.

I push through the crowd of kids and walk out the house and straight home. It was going to take me a while, but I wasn't going to stay here all night to babysit Emma and worry if she'll even be able to drive me back home or not.

As I was walking home, I heard foot steps behind me, then a voice, a voice I did not want to hear. "Hey Bell, why're you going home so soon? The party is just getting started."

I stop and turn, "Shut up Matt. Why do you even care if I stay or not? I clearly have been invisible in your life for the past three years, so let's keep it like that."

"Okay, so you're complaining that you've been invisible in my life for the past three years, and now I finally talk to you again, and you're complaining? Damn Bella, stop being so complicated in life," he sasses.

"Me be complicated? Matt you're just drunk. You're going to forget about this by Monday, and I'm just going to be invisible in your life again. Just leave me alone and go back to the party. I'm sure they wouldn't want to party without Mr. Bad Boy in the house," I say as I start to walk away.

Tears begin to slowly pool up in my eyes. I hate talking to Matt because every time I do, even if it's forced, I get angry and upset because I always think of the shit he did to me. C'mon Bella, don't cry over him, he's just another asshole in the school.

After a long 30 minute walk of complete thinking, I finally get home with a pounding headache. Even though I didn't even touch a drink, the whole Matt thing gave me a huge headache.

I grabbed an advil and slipped into my pajamas then texted Em.

Me: Hey sorry I left early, I wasn't feeling well. Have fun, night.

Em: no problem!!

I plugged in my phone and fell asleep, thinking, and thinking.
