Shared love

Jealous

I was walking in the hallway, with the snack in my hand. I wonder if Olivia knows that I'm gone at the moment. I reached our room and I stepped in. "Nellie, Nellie!" I suddenly heard behind the corner. "What?" I responded. "I just saw the cutest boy before he past me in the hallway when I was looking for you!!" My heart dropped. No. No she's not taking another chance from me. "Oh. What does he look like?" I responded and I could tell that Olivia noticed that I started getting kind of mad. "Wellll he had brown fluffy hair, like very cute hazel eyes.."
It was him. It was Mateo. My chance of getting a good summer just disappeared. Trust me this had happened before and at the end Olivia is always getting the boy. Why am I even acting this way? Who am I trying to be?
As Olivia kept ramble over Mateo. I turned around left. I needed to switch this ugly outfit. I needed to get out of here. As I walked away from Olivia she probably thought I was still listening because she kept talking. Trust me.
I didn't. I didn't want to. I switched my clothes into some old Nike training shorts and a white tank top. I kept my hair in a ponytail. "I'm going out bye" I blurted out.
"What where?" She questioned me. "Somewhere I don't know" I just said while I shrugged.
She did that face, that face she's doing when she knows that something isn't right.
I put on my old air forces and I left. While I was walking in the hallway I kind of hoped meeting Mateo again. But he never showed up. When I got out of the building I recognized how quiet it was. I started walking along the sidewalk with music in my ears. After minutes of walking I reached a beach. I had no clue it was a beach here. Since I didn't have anything special to do I started walking towards the sand. I took off my shoes and socks so I stood barefooted in the sand. The sand was warm and nice.
A little way from me was a large log. I thought it would be perfect to rest and think on. So I started walking towards it and I sat down.
I could feel the salt trough my nose while I breathed. I closed my eyes.
I tried to not overthink but my powerful mind couldn't stop me.
Olivia is probably getting the boy of my dreams. She's getting the summer of my dreams. Well, who would want me? I am just a big loser in peoples eyes. Am I jealous? I've never been jealous. This is weird.
I felt something tap my shoulder witch made me flinch hard.
"Haha, didn't mean to scare you" I heard a recognizable voice say.
I turned around. And there stood Mateo.
What is happening?
"it's okay" I laughed embarrassed.
"Can I sit?" He said.
I moved to the side while nodding.
He smiled at me, but it was not a "normal" smile it was a "thankfull" smile.
We kind of just sat awkwardly and stared at the ocean.
"So Nellie you've also found this place huh" he blurted out.
I looked at him confused. I didn't know that this was his "safe" place here whatever you call it. "I was just going for a walk and I needed think, you know."
He nodded and smiled but this smile wasn't neither "normal" or "thankfull" it was something else. But I enjoyed it.
"This was the first place I saw" I ended my sentence with.
"It's beautiful" Mateo said.
"It is" I responded.
I turned my head to look at him, but he was already looking at me. His eyes was pure beauty. I could feel butterflies inside me.
The blue sky has now turned to a beautiful sunset.
I broke our eye contact with a question.
"Do you live here?"
"No, I'm usually just staying over the summers, I came yesterday." He responded
I could have respond anything but I just weirdly...smiled.
He sighted.
"Do you have a sister or something?" He said shortly after that.
"Yeah, what about it?" I said.
"Oh so it's not your clone?" He responded.
I knew he tried to joke but he also sounded bit confused.
"I have a twin sister." I laughed.
"Thought about that..." he whispered.
I still got a smiled on my face weirdly, but I kept having this weird feeling.
"You look good." He blurted out of nowhere.
I blushed. VERY much. I wasn't ready for that. No one. Like ever have said such nice thing to me. I blushed, I tried everything I could do to hide it with my hands but he already knew. I pasted him with my eyes fast and I saw the he was still looking at me with a bright warm smile, I loved it. Maybe it could be like this all summer after all I thought. "Do you like this place much as I do know?" He said still with the smile. I was about to say the
most cringing thing ever but luckily I stopped myself in time. I nodded instead and copied him with the same warm smile, Atleast I tried to. Suddenly my Phone started vibrate, I flinched, who am I scared off everything I thought? My phone was turned upside down.
I tried to reach my phone witch was a bit away from me but at the same time I felt another's hand on minee. It was Mateo's. No shit. I blushed even more and I dragged away my hand in full speed, and hid it under my thigh, he cackled a bit, he turned my phone up.

"I gotta go" I blurted out kind of quiet while as a waved my phone as a sign that I was in a hurry.
He nodded and responded "alright, I'm gonna stay for some more minutes, I'll see you tomorrow" he ended his entree with the same warm smile. I stood up still barefoot and said bye and started hike home, and yea u put on the shoes after I walked out off the sand.
