I walked forward a few feet to get a better look at the house.
A woman walked out and into a car in the driveway. She drove off down the street and when she was gone I realised that I probably looked really weird from behind a bush and I walked home with my jaw refusing to close.
I live beside Matt...What?!
This was all way to much to cram into my head in just one day, so I fell asleep on the couch as soon as I got in the door. I wasn't even bothered to go upstairs.
I pulled the couch throw over myself and set my alarm for school in the morning. Ew
*Next morning*
I woke up to the annoying sound that I dreaded. My alarm. I stretched and jumped off the couch, disregarding the throw to somewhere on the floor. I walked up the stairs and changed my clothes. I didn't want to creep Matt out if he saw me so I didn't out on my Matt hoodie. I slipped on acid wash jeans and a black flowy tee. I put my hair down from the pony tail I had slept in and straightened my fringe.
When I went downstairs I was surprised my parents weren't getting up, considering it was my first day! But they're probably tired so I'll forgive them.

On my way to school I glanced over to what I was 90% sure was Matt's house. I smiled at the thought of him living so close. We might actually be friends. Oh my god, that only hit me now.
That wasn't the only thing that hit me though 😑
"Ow!" I half scream as I hit my head off a pole. I rub my temple, continuing down the sidewalk.

The school is small. Much smaller than the photo on the website. I find the front door and push it. It doesn't budge. I suddenly feel a hand glide against mine as a girl about my age and height pulls the door open.
Of coarse😑 I pushed a door that said pull.
I felt the blood rush to my cheeks as she gestured for me to walk in, with a genuine smile on her face.
"So you're the new girl?" She says, walking beside me.
"Yeah, I'm Holly."
"Hi I'm Ella. I'll bring you to the office and you can get your schedule and locker number."
"K, thanks."
We walk past the many students rummaging through their lockers. But one catches my eye. Matt
"Oh my god is tha-"
"Yeah, yeah that's Matthew Espinosa" she says with a light chuckle at the end.
"Oh my god I'm such a big fan of him" I say, squealing uncontrollably.
"Oh, well don't be weird around him. Everyone here is cool around him. They like him, don't get me wrong, but they're not 'fans'" she say using air quotations with her fingers.
We continue walking and I'm completely zoning out what Ella is saying. My thoughts are racing.
What do I say first?
How do I approach him?
Do I tell him I'm a fan?
I wasn't even looking where I was going AGAIN and I walk into a trash can.
"Ugh! I need to stop doing that!" I say to practically nobody
"And that's the English ro- What?" Ella asks stopping her 'tour' of the school.
"Oh nothing, so where's the office?"
"Just through here." She says leading us into a waiting room.
Ella picks up a bunch of papers from the desk and hand them to me.
"Your locker is number..." She says trailing off at the end, looking for my locker number on the sheet.
She gasps and looks up with a smirk forming on her face.
"What...?" I ask hesitantly, afraid my locker is beside some weird person.
"Locker number 238" she says giddily as she skips out of the office grasping my wrist.
"Here we are! I'll meet you here at the end of the school day and you can fill me in, okay?"
"Ok-" I'm broken from speaking as someone's locker door hits into my schoolbag.
"Oh I'm so sorry!" A guilty voice says from behind me.
"Oh it's fi-" I am forced to stop speaking as my jaw hangs open and a nervous lump forms in my throat.
Matt.
"Fi-fine" I stutter "I'm fine thanks"
I smile and blush uncontrollably as I push a stand of hair behind my ear.
"Are you new here?" Matt asks as he closes his locker and leans against it, facing me.
"Yeah I just moved here from Texas 2 days ago."
"Oh cool. What class do you have first?"
I look at my schedule and feel blood rush to my cheeks as I realise I'm holding the papers upside down.
Now? Really Holly?
I let out an awkward laugh and tell him "Science"
"Me too!" He says happily.
I turn to put my books in my locker and Ella is gone. She probably went to class.
"So what's this school like?" I ask Matt, trying to start some kind of conversation.
"It's okay. It's school I guess so it's not exactly the best place in the world." He says and chuckles at his own remark.
God he's so adorable
I laugh at his comment and walk into the classroom with him. He pulls out a chair next to him and I gladly accept.
