If I Had A Girlfriend

Amor

The gang then started to walk to their cars as both Sofiya and Rei asked Mat to go into the car that they were going to go in. "I'll get in the car with Rei and I'll talk to you once we get to the restaurant, okay?" Mat said to Sofiya as she nodded and got in a car with Ruri looking at both Mat and Rei.

"So, why did you want me to go with you again?" Mat asked, "I think I might be in love with your cousin." Rei said, pushing his hair back and blushing. "Who Steven, I'm sorry but he's all mine." Sel said "What, no, I meant Sofiya." Rei said "Oh, that makes sense." Mat said "What do you mean?" Rei asked, "You guys are always near each other and you seem to move past girls pretty quickly." Sel said "Well this time it's gonna be different. I really like Sofiya and everyone I know is practically telling me to make moves." Rei explained "So what are you going to do?" Mat asked.

"First, I'm going to need your help." Rei said,"Okay, what do you need?" Mat asked
"I need you to be my spy, I need you to ask her some questions and then pass it on to me, you know if you want to, but since you are her cousin and we have been friends for quite some time I hope you'd do this for me." Rei said "I'd be willing to help but why are you asking someone who literally fucked up his relationship and has been single most of his life?" Mat asked "Because I trust you, plus think of this as a test, if you can help me sort out things with your cousin then maybe you can sort things out with Kait." Rei said "I guess, fine, I accept!" Mat said "But we can't just do this mission on our own, we're gonna need some additional back up." Rei explained.

"Initiating the bois council!" Sel said (Think of this part as a Power Rangers or Sailor Moon transformation) "Rei, Mat, Sel, Kevin, Sage, in the form of THE BOIS COUNCIL!!!" Rei yelled as they then arrived at the restaurant and they stated their jobs. Kevin's job is to be the life of the group and to keep everyone distracted as they initiate the plan, Sel's job is to keep a look out and not bring too much attention to any of the other members of the council, Sage's job is pretty similar to Kevin's with an addition part of giving pep talks to Rei, Mat's job is to gather information from Sofiya, and then we have Rei's job which is actually asking Sofiya if they can expand their relationship.

Once they got in the restaurant Mat got pulled aside by Ruri, Kait, and Sofiya with Sofiya telling him what she was going to say on the drive there. "Do you think Rei likes me?" Sofiya asked "Yeah he enjoys your company, do you enjoy his?" Mat asked "Yeah I guess?" Sofiya said "May I ask why?" Mat asked "Because I like fighting with him." Sofiya said "Have you ever thought of you know not fighting with him?" Mat asked "Yeah, it's more like pretend fighting than anything else though." Sofiya explained. "Okay, do you think he's nice?" Mat asked "Yeah, if I didn't think he was nice then why would I even bother talking to him?" Sofiya said. "You know, if you want to know if he likes you you can always just go up to him and ask right?" Mat asked.

"That's not how it works, Rei is complicated to say the least and it takes time for another person to open up to someone else." Ruri said. "It's about the feelings of everyone involved in the relationship, not just one, the feelings need to be mutual if they want to be expanded." Kait explained. "Right, what do I know, I'm sure that if Rei really liked you he would tell you." Mat said, walking away. "How does Kait still remember that thing about love that Rei told her? Did she choose that wording on purpose? Do the girls know that Rei said most of that stuff? How do girls find out so much about each other in such little time?" Mat thought.

"Ding'' Mat got a message on his phone from Kevin that said that a waitress was at their table and that they were going to order and so he sat down next to Rei and they ordered. Kevin wasn't doing so well at his job so someone was forced to make conversation, someone unexpected, Ruri. "I'm gonna run to the bathroom." Mat said as he then started to walk away slowly and then dashed to the bathroom door to only sit in front of it and send all the information he got from Sofiya to Rei but out of nowhere Ruri stood behind him and asked what he was doing.

"Holly shit bro, what is wrong with you!" Mat said, catching his breath from a Ruri jump scare. "I know what you're doing." Ruri said "What am I doing?" Mat asked in a smug voice. "Hmm so telling from the fact that you are currently sending a message to Rei of all the things Sofiya has told you and the fact that you are sitting against the door of a public bathroom to do so I'd say that you know some stuff about them and you boys are trying to do some messed up cupid shit that will eventually blow up in your faces." Ruri said. "You would...be right." Mat said, ending in a sigh. "Wow, I can't believe I figured all of that out." Ruri said. "So are you gonna tell the girls or try to shut this thing down?" Mat asked "Nah, actually I might just think about helping you guys, if I give you all the stuff I know about Sofiya to you and then you pass it on to Rei it would make the mission look way less sus." Ruri explained. "Deal!" Mat said, they then shook hands and the bathroom door opened causing Mat to jolt up from the floor.

The plan was now sailing settley. The rest of the friend group was distracted by each other thanks to Kevin, Sel saw that no one was outside to observe Rei and Sofiya's talk, my boy Sage was prepping Rei up for the big moment and making sure the drip was on point, and Ruri was sending the info to Mat for him to then send to Rei. "It kind of looks like I'm her type, although I'm not as tall as she prefers." Rei said "You'll be fine, if all of these people are trying to help you it has to be a sign. Plus what's the worst that could happen, getting rejected and maybe some tears after that but at least you'll still be less depressed than Mat." Sage said "I guess you're right about that." Rei said with a slight chuckle.

We then cut back to their table, most of the people there are on their phones playing video games, while the others are just in silence, one of them being Sofiya. "Aight imma go run to the bathroom right quick." Mat said, texting a message to Ruri saying that he's so nervous he just might puke. "I'm gonna go run over there too." Sofiya said as she walked forward but then turned around to see Sage cleaning Rei's face with his thumb causing Mat to collide with her and for them to grab each other's phones. "Sorry, you good." Mat asked "Yeah I'm fine." Sofiya answered as they rushed to the bathroom, it was only when Sofiya got back to the table when she found out that she had the wrong phone.

"Hm, looks like I have Mat's phone. It's a good thing I know the password." Sofiya thought out loud. "That's good, wait what?" Ruri said looking up from her phone to see that Sofiya had Mat's and was looking at his messages with Rei. We then cut to the inside of a men's bathroom where Mat after drying his hands reaches in his pocket and pulls Sofiya's phone. "SHIT!" Mat yelled in the bathroom as someone was literally taking one behind him.

He ran to Rei and Sage and said. "I think she knows." "What, how?" Rei said "We swapped phone's earlier and now she has mine and is most likely going through our messages right now." Mat said, Ruri then runs over to them and confirms. "So what do we do?" Mat said "We compromise the mission, there is always some other time to ask or some other fish in the sea." Rei said. "Are you fucking medicated, look, she likes you, you know that, she knows that, we all know that, and now she is going to find out that you feel the same. So saying shit like that isn't going to help. To be honest this plan was bound to fail to begin with. I don't want you and her to end up like we did so you better go up to her and fucking tell her how you feel because she deserves it!" Ruri said as they then hear footsteps behind them, it's Sofiya holding Mat's phone to her side, looking at Rei. We then get a shot of everyone there, Mat, Rei, Sofiya, Sage, and Ruri as the chapter comes to a close.
