6.

I turned back to get some snacks but I was dragged into the nearest closet and pushed to the wall by someone.

"Ow. What the hell?" I yell.

"Why the hell have you been avoiding me all day?" Matt said.

Holy shit holy shit holy shit. Too close too close too close.

"Listen MATT! Sorry. I uh Well. I was planning something..." I said. That was a bad excuse. He's going to catch on.

"Oh. Really? SHIT! I'm sorry. Are you okay? I know you get claustrophobic sometimes but not all the time, I'm sorry this was totally rude I-" Matt was beginning to ramble.

"MATT! Chill... it's fine." I whispered.

"Oh. Okay...." He said.

"It isn't because of the whole first almost kiss thing? Right? Because, I was totally joking." He said, while I think rubbing the back of his head or neck I couldn't tell it was dark in here. Oh right. Shit. It was dark in here. And we were... close. This is awkward.

"No seriously, it's uh it's fine. Well uhm anyways. Chris and Alissa had a thing so I gotta go talk to her about it. She's got a lot on her plate. Bye!" I quickly said before going to open the door but he quickly covered the door knob.

"Wait, hold up. What thing did Alissa and Chris have?" He said and I could only assume he was giving me a look.

I sighed. I totally said too much.

"They kissed. And by that I mean your idiot of a brother and one of my best friends kissed one of my other friends and she's confused as shit right now, so yeah. Wait oh my gosh. Set them up with me. Please. TALK TO CHRIS AND SEE WHAT YOU FIND OUT! Oh my gosh we so have to set them up." I said, completely forgetting about how close we were to each other. It's not that weird we've been best friends for a really long time.

"Woah Woah. Slow down." He giggled. "You want to set them up rather than let it happen on their own?" He said.

"Well... yeah... I know it's meddling but, they'd be so cute! Plus, I've got a solid feeling that she's freaking out in a good way and she doesn't realize it yet. And... I've already got a plan!" I say.

"What would that be?" Matt says.

"Okay, so... im thinking we go on a shopping spree tomorrow, but separately! As in, you with Chris, me with Alissa. Then, we can bring them to like a store or something and 'ditch them.' They'll run into each other, realize they have to actually talk about what happened, notice they both are totally in love or at least falling for each other, and then they'll hang around the mall and this time they won't come home all awkward! Plus, we can hang out and spy on them! It's perfect!" I said beginning to jump up and down but Matt put his hands on my shoulders to keep me from hitting my head on anything.

"Yeah. Stop the jumping. Fine. I'm in, but on one condition." He said.

"Okay...? What?" I said, now scared and suspicious of what he's about to say.

"You have to pay for any food we stop for. I am done paying every time." He said.

"Aww man. Fine. Only because you buy it all the time anyways." I said with a frown that I doubt he could see.

"Good." He smiled.

"Uhm. Can I leave the closet now? I'm getting claustrophobic..." I whispered.

"Hm?" He said.

"I asked if I could yknow, leave the tight, dark, closet." I repeated.

"O-oh. Sorry." He said, opening the closet door and letting me out.

"Well... uh. I should go back to Alissa." I said awkwardly. Damn, Hailey. Why'd you make it so awkward?

"Mhm. Cya tomorrow." He said with a wink and headed towards his room, while I walked back towards the one I was staying in.

"Dude. You took ages. I'm literally dying in here. Alone. With my thoughts. And you should know that it never ends well. NEVER!" Alissa complained as she rolled in the blankets on the bed.

"Fine. Fine. So Chris kissed you in public? Right?" I said.

"SHH! DON'T SAY IT OUT LOUD! Yes. In public. Shit. In public. FUCK! HAILEY!" Alissa complained and buried her face in the pillow when a notification appeared on my phone.

I opened the notification that brought me to an Instagram post of Chris and Alissa at the mall and you guessed it, it was a zoomed in photo of them kissing with the description: 'Ooh! Is this Chris Sturniolo with a mysterious girl? What do you guys think?'

"Uhm... Alissa?" I said.

"WHAT!!" She yelled.

I didn't even say more I just handed her my phone and winced before hiding under some blankets because I had a feeling she was going to...

"AGH! FUCK!" She screamed and I heard a loud crash which I assumed was my phone hitting the wall.

"Damn it." I said with a frown on my face. "Okay listen up. Let me get this straight. He kissed you. You're upset about it?" I said.

"No. I'm not upset, it's just. I don't know. I just. UGH! I think I like him but I'm scared to admit it because I don't want to like commit myself if it was just one of those 'in the moment things.' Sorry. I'm starting to ramble on about stupid shit." She rambled on, and I just listened.

"Honestly, I fucking love you for dealing with me right now." She said while laughing a little.

"Okay. You know what! Give me a second." I said before rushing out of the room again. I texted Matt because my assumption was that he talked to Chris right after our awkward conversation...

Matt:

Okay, yeah they should talk. Chris said he feels like shit for it and thinks he ruined their friendship.

So maybe if they talk it'll fix it! Yknow! I'm talking like we shove em somewhere. Like uh. That closet.

Gotchya!

"Hey. Uh how about we head to the kitchen." I said and quickly dragged her to the kitchen and I saw Matt wink from behind the wall in the corner of my eye and I quickly shoved her into the closet with Chris.

"HELL YEAH!" Matt and I said and jumped while high-fiving.

"WHAT THE HELL GUYS!" The both of them yelled and Matt and I just giggled before running off like children, leaving them locked in the closet. Are we mean? Yes. Do we plan on letting them out. Eh. Maybe later.

"GUYS! GUESS WHAT MY NEW BOY..... MY GUY FRIEND MY NEW FRIEND, INVITED ME TO HANGOUT TOMORROW! DON'T DESTROY THE HOUSE WHILE IM GONE! Also, where's Chris?" Nick said.

"Oh well... uhm. So basically..." I started.
