Ive already started the day off strong by being late to class. Ive only been at college for 3 months and I've already been late a handful more than i should have. I zip all my stuff in my bag and hurry across campus.
My lecturer isn't to surprised and just shakes her head and carries on talking. I take out my notepad and the huge textbook were studying.
After class i decide to head to the nearest off campus for coffee and breakfast. I get a latte and a bagel. I smother cream cheese on the bagel and stuff my face on my way back to my dorm. Its a Tuesday and i only have 1 class.
I usually pack up my stuff and head to a cafe and study but looking at my bank account lately i just decide to head to the campus library. My roommate should be in class but when i get to the library i see her smiling and nodding her head along to her music. I sit on the table across from her and she smiles when she sees me.
" oh my god y/n! Just the girl i wanted to see. Theres a party tonight and you are coming." She insists. I shake my head but as soon as she sees me resisting she shakes her head too. " nope! Not taking no for an answer." She says. " okay fine, but im going before midnight." I say. She holds her hands up in surrender and i laugh.
The party is in a frat house off campus. Its about a 10 minute walk and we see drunk kids spilling out the door. " so fun, dont know why i declined before." I joke and she shrugs. " come
On you need a beer." She smiles and pulls me up the lawn. The smell of sweat is adamant and beer is everywhere.
Nadia drags me through to the kitchen and there is a couple sitting next to the keg making out. She squeezes past them and pours us beers. I sip it and it tastes gross. She heads off to find her boyfriend and i pour out the beer and dump in some orange soda.
" ooh, sneaky." Someone says, i dont realise there talking to me until i turn to see a tall brunette boy staring directly at me. " no offence but it taste kinda like shit." I say. He laughs and nods his head. " i dont blame you." He says and points his cup to me, full of dark soda.
" whats your name?" He asks me. " its Bella." I smile and he does. " im matt, so whats Bella short for?." He asks. " nothing, my mom hated Isabella but loved Bella." I say and he nods. He genuinely smiles and i feel my insides turn to goo.
Matts pov:
Bella. The most beautiful girl I've ever met. I saw her walk in with Nadia. She had an awry smile on her face but still walked through the house. She had a natural blush and her green eyes wide.
Her wavy blonde hair was down her back and her baby pink dress waved in the crowd. Her dirty converse got trampled on by hundreds of drunk kids and she just seemed to brush it all off. I knew i needed her. I wanted her so bad.
" so what do you major in." I ask, shes laid in the hammock and im sat on the garden sofa. Our house is kinda nice for a frat house but im not gonna complain. " biology." She says.'" ooh, let me guess. You want to be a nurse, greys anatomy got to your head." I joke and she flips me off. " no i want to be a vet, and greys anatomy is the best. Have you ever even watched it?" She asks. I shake my head and her mouth hangs open. " come with me." She says and grabs my arm and pulls me into the living room when she sees its too buys we head upstairs. She finds and empty bedroom Which happens to be mine.
" lets watch it." She demands. " no, right now?" I ask. She nods and i reluctantly turn it on on my tv. The first episode turns on and she smiles. " sit back and wait for awesomeness." She gapes and i laugh. After about 3 episodes i decide its decent.
Y/n's pov:
" shit its midnight, i gotta go." I say. I jump up and put my shoes back on. I call Nadia and she wakes up groggily " what?" She snaps. " where are you?" I ask. " you were cuddled up with matt so im staying in Brett's room." She says. "
Oh okay, see you tomorrow. Sorry." I say and hang up.
" okay, see you." I say. " wait, your walking home alone?" He asks. When i nod he gets up and grabs his keys. " i havent drunk, ill take you, there are some real dicks here." He says. I thank him and he drives me to campus and turns off the engine.
" i know its late and you wanna get in bed but i wanted to say i want to see you again. Can i get your number. Or i could get it from Nadia?"
He asks. " no, yeah ill give you it now." I say, i hold my hand our for his phone and he passes it to me. I put my number in and pass it back.
" thanks for driving me. I appreciate it." I say. He smiles and i open the car door. I walk
Up to my room and i cant help grinning the whole night.
The next morning i wake up and see a bouquet of daisies on my bedside table. Nadia has her hands on her hips and is staring at me. " i really liked meeting you yesterday, by coincidence ill be at your door at 7. Hope your hungry, see you later. - matt ;)" Nadia reads out and i rub the sleep out my eyes.
" MATT SENT THAT!" I shout. She nods and squeals. I smile at the thought of him at a florist picking out flowers for me. " girl, this is so cute, were both dating lacrosse boys. Its like were in a romance book." She says. I smile and put the flowers in a jar i found.
When i open the door matts stood there in light jeans and a pink shirt. " pink is your colour, come in, im just getting finished." I say. He sits on the edge of my bed and looks over to see my flowers in the vase. I put my phone and lip balm in my bag and grab my purse. " im ready." I say. He stands and smiles. " you look amazing." He gapes and i smile and spin.
We go to an old-school diner and i get a burger and fries. Matt gets a pizza and a shake. I get a cheery soda and he tells me about his brothers. His brother chris is doing a media course and nick is a photographer.
I tell him about my baby sister and my parents. My mom works at a bakery and my dad is a doctor who became a stay at home father so my mom could peruse her passion. Once my sister is old enough he can go back to work but he loves staying home with her. She has the most golden hair and the brownest eyes.
I offer to pay or at-least pay my half but matt declines. " just means ill pay next time." I laugh. " oh a next time you say." He smiles and i smile.
We walk back to my dorm with my hand in his. We walk across the lawn and my shoes start to turn muddy. " oh my shoes, its dirty." I whine, he laughs and he sweeps his arms under my legs and tips me over his shoulder. " ahh, oh my god." I squeal. He puts me down on the steps of the dorm building and i stand there looking up at him. He puts his hands behind my neck and kisses me.
His lips smash into mine and i kiss back and my eyes flutter closed. I wrap my arms around his torso and when he pulls back i smile. " i know its early but i like you." I smile, my cheeks turn hot and my face feels like its red.
" me too, your the best person I've ever met." He says and pulls me back in for a kiss. He walks me to my room and kisses me goodnight. God im living in a romance book! <3
