"i say otherwise."

real life !

matt's in the kitchen making him a bowl of cereal when he hears a knock at the door. checking his phone to see that it was nine at night, he was wondering who it could be. walking to the door, he opens it to reveal ameira standing outside with her eyes glued to her feet and her hands crossed in front of her.

"ameira?"

she looks up at him saying her name. "i-i'm sorry if this is late at night. i didn't even send you a text or anything to let you know...." she started to ramble, and matt could see the tears beginning to form.

so he pulled her inside, gently and closing the door. "come on, you wanna go in my room and talk?" she nods and he goes into the kitchen to grab his bowel of cereal before guiding her upstairs to his room.

being her first time over, she looks around, seeing his shoe rack, his gaming corner and everything else. it was different from hers, but she found it to be nice either way.

glancing over at his bed, she sees everything everything sitting there. "nice to see you still have it."

he turns his head, seeing what she was talking about as he tried to tidy up his room. "oh yeah. gotta give it back to the library in two days. but you can sit down."

she goes to sit down on the bed, her palms resting on her knees as she wiggled her fingers around.

matt sits beside her, scooping up the trix cereal with his spoon and placing it into his mouth. when he chews and swallows the food, he turns to her. "so what's wrong?"

ameira sighs, her mind taking her back to the event that happened hours that caused her to be here. "well. i kind of fussed out my parents." she says, but her voice is too low so he wasn't able to fully hear her.
