Finding the real me (Matthew Espinosa)

First Day

As soon as I got home I took a shower and changed into sweats and a dark blue tank top. I instantly fell into a deep sleep.

"Tripping over myself, aching. Begging you to come help," are the first words I heard when I woke up. I groaned and rolled over to hit my alarm clock. I got up and realized it was my first day of school. I looked out the window being blinded by the sun. I cupped my hand around my eye and my vision became more intact again. I looked over and saw into the bedroom of my neighbor next door. Then a figure got up and stood in the frame of the window. It was Matt.

I shrugged and walked towards my closet to grab my Aztec crop top and black high waisted shorts. I quickly changed and went into the bathroom to brush my teeth. I put on a little concealer for my bags and a smidge of mascara. I didn't really like wearing THAT much makeup, but hey, it was the first day of school. I wanted to make a good impression.

I put my natural waves up in a high ponytail and headed downstairs.

I threw on my white converse, grabbed my bag and ran out the door. I waited at the bus stop until I was accompanied by someone. Matt. "Hey Katie." He said awkwardly. "Hey. I didn't know you lived next door, since I was at Aria's house yesterday when you picked me up." I said, trying not to make things awkward. (I forgot to mention that Aria lived in Virginia and Katie already knew her before she moved) "Yeah" he said, like he already knew.

Silence.

The bus came rolling down the street, breaking our awkward moment of silence. We trampled onto the bus, me ending up sitting next to Taylor who we were at the beach with yesterday. He looked at me and smiled. "Hey" he said. I said the same back and we both faced front. "So...Katthew huh?" Taylor asked smirking at me. I heard a bunch of hollers from behind us and I looked back and gave them a dirty look. Right when I turned around Taylor was laughing his head off. Soon I was doing the same.

When we pulled up to the school I walked in with Taylor. "You're gonna have to go to he office to pick up your schedule, but I can come with you to show you where it is" Taylor nicely offered. I said thanks and we walked to the office and got my schedule. I asked for Taylor's schedule and he gave me a confused look and handed it to me. We had all classes but two together. I showed him and he smiled so we walked to first period together. I had a feeling that Taylor and I were going to be pretty good friends.
