Knowing Him // Matthew Espinosa Fanfic

Chapter Two

Monday came by fast, so another week of school. I grabbed my things for first period and started heading to Geometry. I usually walk with Em to first period, but she got a new boyfriend, Adam, on Saturday, so she's been spending time with him a lot more since.

As I was walking, I see Matt and his little clique, and of course, he just ignores me like I don't even exist. I continue walking until I trip and drop all my things. Shit. I quickly try picking them until someone races and picks them up for me. I look up to see who, and surprisingly, it was Matt.

"Thanks," I say with a tone.

"Yeah, no problem," he says dropping my books on the ground, and kicking them to the other side of the hall leaving him and his little clique cracking up.

"Fucking bitch," I breathe out.

I walk and pick up my books and continue walking to first period. This is going to be a really long day.

After the first three periods, I head onto fourth, the class I have with Matt, sadly. He was always late to class, so I wasn't expecting to see him within the first 5 minutes.

After about 15 minutes, Matt still hasn't showed up, so the teacher spoke, "Has anyone seen Mr. Espinosa today?" I slowly raised my hand, but didn't say a word. The teacher nodded then went back to her desk.

After a few minutes, I got up and asked to use the restroom. I went out in the hall and found a guy standing outside against the wall, alone. It looked like Matt, and I knew I shouldn't do this, but I walked out the door and heard the guy sobbing.

"Matt?" I questioned.

He turned, looking disappointed to see me, "What the hell are you doing here? Don't you have class?"

"Well, I should be asking you the same thing, but why are you crying?"

"Like you care? Stop acting like you care, and go get a life, preferable one without me in it," he snaps.

"Well damn Matt. I try fucking helping you and you push me away? Why do I care? Maybe because I'm a caring person that doesn't act like a bitch towards their best friend."

"Best friend? You'd be lying to yourself if you still think you're my best friend."

"What happened to you Matt? High school really got into your head, didn't it? One day you would say you'll never leave me, and the next, you act like I'm invisible besides when you get a chance to do shit to me. What happened to the old Matt? The Matt that cared about school, the one that didn't care if he had 5 billion friends, or just one. I miss that Matt," I confess.

I could see him tense up, "How about you leave me alone? Okay? You don't know shit about me."

"Oh I think I do. You're the guy that thinks he's cool because he skips classes, and gets drunk at every party. Have a good life Matt," I say walking back inside.

"Fine, want to know why I'm skipping class right now?"

"Why tell me? I thought you said I could care less. Sorry, but I was told to have a life without you in it, so that's what I'm going to do."

I walk back to class and continue to finish this long, long day.

I usually walk home after school with Emma, but she's with Adam now, so I usually have no time with her now which sucks, but she seems really happy with him, and I don't want to ruin that for her.

My dad is on a business trip for the next month or so, and my mom usually gets home really late from work, so I'm always alone for a while everyday.

I got to my front porch and saw Matt sitting in front of the door, waiting. I walk  a bit faster until I reach closer to the door, "Matt? What are you doing here?"

He gets up and speaks really quickly, "Look, I know I said some really rude things to you and did some really mean things to you, but when you asked what was wrong today, I know I shouldn't have been rude, so I'm sorry, but I really need someone to talk to.."

"The Matt Espinosa is coming to me for help? Wow, shocking," I say opening the door.

"Please Bell."

"What about your friends? Your girlfriend?"

"I broke up with Mackenzie today, and my friends will never understand how..how I'm feeling I guess. I guess they're not easy to talk to, I don't know."

I sigh, "Fine, come in."
