Never Be Like You - Flume

First-person perspective

- Matt Clemént -

I'm so happy and excited, not only are Victoria and Mr Maddens better again but Flynn and I have been messaging back and forth like no other, he's in my pinned numbers and has slowly become less of a dry texter. I think he noticed he was being one and that's why or he's just genuinely more interested in messaging me.

It's 4:00 p.m. After a day at school, I play some Melanie Martinez (K-12 and Crybaby, of course) while lying on my stomach, as usual, I message Flynn when suddenly he asks if he can ask me something...

Flynn😫

F: Matt, can I ask u smt?

M: Yea ofc

I wait patiently, minute after minute, and he finally replies.

F: I like you a lot and I thought instead of just hanging out we could go on a date tonight. Only if you want to though.

I look at the screen gobsmacked, he keeps typing but then not typing and I quickly call Victoria up, not even thinking about the fact that it's going to look like I'm leaving him on delivered. After a few rings, Victoria answers, "Yep?".

"Bitch, oh mon dieu," I could barely speak.

(Translation: oh my god)

"Bitch..." She says in the same dragged tone I used, "What? What happened?" She asks again.

I take a breath, "Bitch, he asked me out on a date." I dunno what's going on with the bitch stuff but Victoria mocked my 'Bitch' so now I'm just going to say it at the start of each sentence.

She gasps, "Bitch..! When? What did you say? You better have said yes".

"Tonight, and I haven't replied yet I called you instead" I reply.

"So you left him on open?" She asks and I hum a yes, "You dumb fuck, say yes and I'm coming over now to help you get ready." She states and hangs up the phone,

Flynn😫

M: Yeah for sure, I'm free tonight

F: perfect, how about you meet me at the shop around 7 and I'll drive you to a place I know?

M: sounds good to me

I get up and walk down the stairs to inform my mother what is happening, "Ma!" I call out.

She stands in the kitchen with my father, "yeah, love?" She asks, sipping on a glass of wine.

I smile widely, "I've just been asked to dinner with that guy I like" I can barely contain my excitement, "Vicki will be here soon to help me get ready".

"Oh my goodness, Matt! I'm so excited for you this is your first date in forever" She smiles, which sounded so backhanded, I'm sure she didn't mean it like that though. Plus she's slightly drunk off wine so...

I laugh, "I know, how long it's taken is bad."

My father was stirring a bowl, I assume a dessert of some sort which he then handed my mother the wooden spoons and she licks it.

"Oh, Matthew you never told me what happened with Victoria and that guy" She says to me with an intrigued look and slightly pulled-together brows.

My father shakes his head, muttering in French, "Je n'aime pas cet homme...".
