Matthew Espinosa Imagines

"Friends"

*Kennedy's POV*

I juggle a soccer ball on my ankles in my front driveway of my neighborhood. My blonde hair was in a messy high pony tail and I was wearing my high school spirit tee and black under armor shorts.

Plus my tennis shoes. Nothing special. But I was kind of wishing I was wearing a silk gown and heels with a corsage on my wrist.

Because tonight was my school's homecoming. And I wasn't asked by anyone to go...so I wasn't going.

My friends asked me if I wanted to tag along with their dates as a "group" but I would just be a third wheel x6.

I see someone walking down the sidewalk beside me but ignore them, thinking it was just another random neighbor.

I keep juggling on my own until the person walking by stole the soccer ball from my juggle and started kicking it themselves.

Normally, I would be offended, but once my eyes laid upon the "stranger", I noticed it was my best friend Matthew.

He grins at me and I give him a small smile in return. "Hi there" he greets.

I wave and then snatch my ball back mid-air, making Matt stick his tongue out playfully at me.

"You look sad" Matt says, smile gone and now new concern in his eyes.

I shrug. "Well, I'm not happy" I answer honestly.

Matt pouts and then grabs my shoulders forcefully, making my ball roll away onto the grass since I lost grip of it.

"What's wrong Ken?" Matt asks, his expression serious but his eyes soft with worry.

I smile at his honest concern for me and I put my hands on his which were still on my shoulders.

"Oh, you know...stupid homecoming" I mutter, hoping Matt wouldn't hear, but he did.

Matt suddenly looks like he agrees and nods with me. "Yeah, I wasn't asked out either."

My eyes widen with surprise. "Really?"

Matt smirks at my surprise. "Well, that was a lie. I was asked, but I said no to all four."

My eyes widen even more. Four? Holy crap.

I shake out my thoughts and then come up with a new question. "Why'd you say no?"

Matt purses his lips and shrugs, but I feel as if there was a real reason.

Matt's hazel eyes suddenly light up. "What if we went together?"

I frown. "What? Matt that's crazy."

Matt shakes my shoulders, making my head boggle. "No it isn't! We are both available, attractive, and both want to do something fun tonight!"

My head and heart stopped when he mentioned attractive, but I tried to stay focused.

"I don't know..." I mutter.

Matt suddenly picks up my small body by the waist and spins me around. "Please?" Matt pleads, making my heart melt.

I smile. "Okay fine. But I need time to get a dress, get my hair done, get my makeup sorted out..." I say, counting on my fingers the things I needed to do.

Matt groans at all the things and says "You have two hours" he says, and I knew that was final.

I went out and bought a strapless black dress that cuts off above my knees, with a diamond belt around my waist.

I got my long blonde hair straightened as it ended under my chest, and black heels.
