End Of Me -Matt Sturniolo-

Chapter 42

Matt's POV

"HELP" I shout as I run into Nicks room.

"WHAT?"

"I need to ask scarlett to homecoming but i don't know how to, i'm not about to do one of those shitty ass signs that say some wack ass shit on them" I groan as i flop my body on his bed.

"Why didn't you ask Chris about this? I've never asked a girl to homecoming before" Nick shrugs as he sets his phone down.

"Me either Nick" I place my hands over my eyes practically begging for help.

"We'll i think you should do a sign because it's cute but I agree don't put some wack ass quote on there, you gotta put something that's special to Scarlett and signifies her interests" Nick explains.

I gasp, causing Nick to furrow his eyebrows.

"I need to put a Taylor Swift lyric on there" My eyes go wide at the realization.

"yes you must" Nick gasps.

"Wanna help me find a quote and make the poster?" I smile

"i would be honerd, your shitty handwriting would fuck it up anyway" Nick laughs as we leave his room.

After a trip to the craft store and a flower shop Nick and I return home we lay out the poster board on the kitchen island and begin our master craft.

I found a genius quote to write that I know scarlett will die over.

i know speak now is her favorite album so I knew I had to do a lyric from that. I grab a purple and gold marker and open the cap to begin writing before Nick stops me.

"what did i say about your horrible hand writing, give that to me" He says as he starches the markers from my hands. I step back and let him do his thing as I think of my strategy plan.

"Should I just show up to her house?"

"yea i guess" Nick shrugs

"okay" I shrug too deciding that's the best way to go about this.

"can I go for moral support?" Nick turns to face me with a smirk

"Moral support my ass you just wanna see her reaction" I laugh at him

"So?"

"you can come if you want but you have to wait in the car" I make a deal. He nods in agreement before putting the finishing touches on the sign.

I smile to myself as Nick and I step back to admire the sign. It is so scarlett coded it is insane.

"Ready to go?" Nick asks me as he grabs the sign off the counter

I take a deep breath before nodding my head as we begin heading for the front door.

"Chris is gonna be so mad he's missing this" Nick laughs as we get in the car.

"Okay but I actually don't give a fuck" I shrug at his pointless comment.

"Look Matt I know you're shitting your pants but there is no need to take that out on me" Nick agressivly points at me.

"I'm sorry" I mumble

"Look you know she's gonna say yes so I don't really know why are you so nervous about this all, all you are doing is asking her to go to homecoming with you" He tries his best to make me feel better.

"But what if she doesn't say yes Nick, Scarlett has extremely high standards and what if I didn't do enough to impress her?" I feel myself overthinking.
