I Officially Hate You | Chris Sturniolo

Chapter 4

I look through my closet to see what I can wear for Matt and I's date. 

"Shit.. i have nothing to wear." 

I grab my phone and text Nick.

Shelby: I need fashion help. Your gay. You know fashion.

Nick: Jesus- do you need me to go shopping with you? 

Shelby: Yes. i gotta get an outfit for Matt and I's date.

Nick: Okay, but uhm.. Chris has to come with us..

He's kidding right- there is no way in hell Chris was coming with us

Shelby: Fine.

I walk next door to get them.

"Where's Matt?" 

"He went to get stuff for your guy's date."

"MATT AND SHELBY ARE DATING!?"

"You knew this!" 

"AIN'T NO WAY! SHE'S GONNA BE OVER HERE ALL THE FUCKING TIME!"

"What's your problem with me anyway? I did absolutely nothing to you." 

"You're a walking red flag. I'll explain to Matt why he shouldn't date you."

"Chris! Stop! You're not saying anything like that to Matt. Shelby isn't a red flag."

"So your just say a beautiful blonde just HAPPENS to move right next door and Matt decides to date her!"

Did he just call me beautiful? What the fuck is happening? I just wanted to go shopping.

"Whatever, let's go." 

"You and Shelby can just go.." 

"Chris, you can come if you want. I don't hate you or anything like that." 

"Fine." 

He pushes through Nick and I and walks over to my car. 

"Damn.." 

-- later --

Matt: Hey Shelby, I knocked on your door but you weren't there lol

Shelby: Sorry lol I'm with Nick and Chris at the mall.

Matt: Oh can i meet you guys there? 

Shelby: Ofc <3

"Okay I need one of you to take this outfit to the car for me. Matt is coming here and I don't want him to see my outfit." 

Nick nods and I hand him my keys leaving Chris and I alone together. 

"Well.. I guess I have to be somewhat nice to you since you're dating Matt." 

"Okay.. but why do you hate me so much. I just don't get it." 

"You came out of absolute nowhere and now I can't get you out of my head."

"What?"
