20 Minutes Later

I unlocked and opened the door revealing a cheeky faced boy. "I'm here" he says cheerily from the doorway. I smile and give him a unnecessary small wave before moving out of the way for him to enter. I was alone today; mom and dad wanted to go to some event and toke Jade with them, leaving me alone. Well I had no choice; when I woke up they were already gone but I heard them talking about the event last night at dinner. Mom was explaining how she wanted to wear her new expensive, flowery, and of course sequin head piece with her long, flowery red dress. I haven't seen Matt for a couple days but he looked just the same as the last time. Matt and I have been communicating over text for the last couple days talking about every and anything.

He must have just finished working a shift by the looks of him. He was wearing a red shirt with the Hallmark logo and tan longish shorts. He was the sort of guy who could easily be a jock if he worked out but he was also a nerd that couldn't be changed. But none of that matter because he was quickly becoming my friend but also somewhat like a brother to me. That is why I feel conformable wearing Micky Mouse pj pants in front of him, I don't think he's even noticed them either.

He walks in and puts his beat up navy satual covered in music and random pins on the ground before scanning the main room with his eyes. I haven't invited him over here before; heck I haven't even seen him since the day we met. I couldn't tell if he loved or hated it by his blank face with absolutely no expression shown. It could be a lot though, the walls were quite a boring shade of tan and the only colour were from the annoying paintings that resembled a rainbow unicorn vomited on paper and then was framed. The styling taste of the hotel was awful but I had grown to ignore it.

"Now Hannah; I'm going to call you the nickname I made up" he says walking over and siting down on the plain couch near the tv. I looked at him confused as I sit beside where he was sitting. He seems very comfortable now by laying on the couch covering most of it leaving me to sit straight up in the corner.

"Hanny Bear" he smirked. I stared at him with mixed emotions. I've known this guy for what? A couple of days and now he already had a nickname for me. I guess that shows how strong our new friendship is. They warned us about online guys like this, that they're not true but perfect guy friends do exist.

"Nice" I say laughing awkwardly a little. No one has ever made a nickname for me, ever. The fact that he called me a bear was a tad confusing and offensive but I pushed the facts behind.

"Come on I love it and by the way Ross guy looked at you, he would like it too" he says raising an eyebrow and gently elbowing me when he said Ross's name. We haven't spoken about Ross since the day I met him. I didn't want to even think about him, it was all too confusing for my brain to process.

"How do you know his name?" I asked confused as the thought pops in my head. Maybe they were right perfect guy friends don't exist; he must be a stalker. I slowly slide further away from him on the couch which was basically impossible since how squashed I was already. I keep my eye contact on him too to see what he's planning. Does he know I know his real identity?

"He mucks around there a lot with his friends and siblings. I hear them yell at him a lot like 'Ross No, Stop' ect." he says laughing while trying to mock them. I sigh, that does seem believable but just in case I kept my distance. He looked at me before moving his arm towards me. He pulled me closer to him until I was touching him against his body.

"Don't you believe me?" he asked laughing again. He has a cute laugh and smile I couldn't help but smile that he's my friend.

"No, yes, maybe and Ross did not look at me in that way at all. FYI we hate each other" I groan a little switching the TV on to change the subject. That was the simplest way to say it anyway. Maybe he wasn't a stalker but he's really annoying. The tv turned to some Disney show but I tried to watch it anyway.

"Sure sure; you two are just too scared to admit it" he laughed again cheekily taking the remote out of my hand and turning the tv off. I look at him confused; why wouldn't he just stop talking about Ross? I stare at the blank screen hoping that he'd just change the subject already.

"You seriously need to meet him again" he said rolling his body over to completely face me. I shake my head not bothering moving to look at him.

"I don't see a reason to. Now, shut up, I'm trying to focus" I grumble, lightly pushing his shoulder taking the remote from his hand and turning it back on. The same show was on with some squeaky girl singing; what show is this? He makes a loud noise of faked pain which was mixed with his never stopping laughter. I push him again but he just laughs even harder. I turn to him in the plan of giving him a stern face but instead I just laughed myself. We laid there laughing for a while the show playing came to an end and another one started to play.

"You're cute when you laugh" he says between gasps of air. I stop and stare at him; this time succeeding. He raises an eyebrow and stops laughing too.

"Matt, you can't-" I struggle to say as my eyes started to burn with emotion. He didn't say anything he just turned the tv louder.
