A few months later

These past few months haven't been easy. I still only have Matt, because everyone else is either scared of me or just doesn't want to talk.

There have been some fights with me, but I never started them so I haven't gotten suspended, well not yet anyways.

As I walk to my car, I feel like someone is following me.

I keep turning around, but nobody is there.

I finally reach my car and unlock it, as I am about to open the door, a strong set of arms wrap around me and hug me from behind.

I gasp and turn around.

Relief takes over as I realize it's just Matt.

"God!! You scared me!" I sigh in relief.

"Sorry", he says making a puppy dog face.

"It's okay", I say looking down at our feet.

"So you wanna go to my house to study?"

"How do I know you aren't some kind of mass-murderer?"

"You don't! That's what makes it fun and we've known each other awhile now, Jenn, I know we haven't hung out much but football season's over and I'm free now", he replies giving me a little wink.

How am I supposed to say no to that?

"Ugghh fine! But let me go home first."

"Okay."

I hop in my car and Matt sits in the passenger seat.

"What are you doing?!?"

"Going...with you?..." He replies giving me a confused look.

"What about your car?"

"It's at home. I walk to school."

"Oh, ok."

On the way to my house I catch Matt staring at me from the corner of my eye, but when I look at him he looks out the window.

That happens a couple more times, then I'm finally home.

"Wait here. I'll be back in like 10 minutes. Okay?"

"I can't go in?"

"Fine. I need to shower anyways."

"Yay!" He squeals. Gosh, isn't he adorable?

I unlock the door and walk into my home that always seems untouched.

It's more like a house, not really a home. It seems like nobody's ever here.

I'm greeted by my dog Macy, like always.

She sniffs Matt's feet a couple times, then he reaches down to pet her and she licks his hand.

He chuckles and I just watch, smiling.

"Okay I'm gonna head upstairs and take a quick shower. Just wait down here. Okay?" I say snapping out of it.

"Yeah, sure. Hurry please!" He whines.

"Whatever, Espinosa."

I run up the stairs and straight to my room. I grab my blue jean shorts, and a big plain t, along with my essentials. I pack a bag with my purple bikini, just incase, and two sets of clothes.

I then run to my bathroom to take a shower.

Once, I get out I keep singing to the song playing which is "Little Things" by One Direction.
