Friends with benefits???

I think I like you

I woke up today feeling like a new person, so I decided to wear something a tad bit different. I put on my dark gray polo shirt with my black plaid skirt, my black sweater, and my dark gray knee high converse. For my hair, I did a straight part going down my head, dividing my bangs in two as well. I braided the rest of my hair in two and put on my black beanie. I put on my makeup (eyeliner and mascara), ate my breakfast, then did my nails (black). My mom hates when I dress all gothic so I ran downstairs, grabbed my bag and left.

When I was half way to the bus stop, guess who I saw walking in my direction. My new best friend, Matteo. He said "Oh hey. I was just about to come and pick you up." That's what we do now. We walk to each other's house to walk to the bus stop together. "I had to run out the house. My mom hates when I dress like this." While we were walking to the bus stop he was telling me about his morning like he usually does. I noticed at the corner of my eye this popular 8th grader eyeing Matteo like she wanted him. "Hey Matteo, shut up for a second and look across the street. I think that girl is fiending for you." "I know what would make her stop." All I felt was a hand touch my cheek and a second later lips touching my lips.

Once we stopped kissing (it felt like forever) he looked across the street. "Yea it worked. She not looking at me anymore." I just stood there, staring at him. I mean, we both know there were some other ways to call her off, but he decided to kiss me. Why? Did he like it? Did he like me? I was so confused. I was now having mixed emotions about him. Did I like him? I didn't know. I didn't want to know. Did I? We got on the bus, sat in our seat, and kept quiet.

It was like that all day with Matteo and I, quiet. Lunch was the worst. Gabby wasn't here so Christine invited over her new boyfriend, Ben, so I had to sit on the other side of the table (I have OCD. Things have to be symmetrical) next to Matteo. After Christine was done basically making out with Ben she had asked me "So how was your day?" I exploded. I turned to Matteo and started yelling at him. "DID YOU TELL HER WHAT HAPPENED? HOW COULD YOU TELL HER WHAT HAPPENED? YOU DIDNT EVEN TELL ME WHAT WAS GONNA HAPPEN. HOW COILD YOU YOU PLAY WITH MY EMOTIONS. YOU CANT JUST KISS SOMEBODY AND ACTED LIKE IT NEVER HAPPENED." The whole, entire cafeteria was looking at me. When I realized everyone was staring at me, and that wasn't what Christine was talking about, I sat down. Everybody exchanged faces with there friends and got back to there conversations.

Christine looked me, then at Matteo, then back at me. "You guys kissed? Are you guys dating or something?" Matteo and I responded at the same time. I said "No. Nothing like that." But Matteo said "Not really." We all looked at him with confused faces. "You guys need to get your relationship together," Christine said before making out with Ben again. I said "We don't have a relationship." I mumbled under my breath "I wish." He must've heard me cuz he nudged me and said "Why don't we?"

It's the end of the day now and I hadn't answered Matteo at lunch. Member, when he technically asked me out? The last bell of the day rang. I went to pick my bag and saw that my asthma inhaler was missing. I ran to the cafeteria all the way across the school to see if it was there. It was locked. I ran back across the school to the main office to find the assistant principal. We had to walk (she's a little fat so she doesn't run) back across the school to unlock it. I opened the door and ran to the lost and found bucket. It wasn't there.

I way passed missed my bus by then, so I decided to walk home. It started raining, even worse. I walked out the school and headed toward the corner. I paused, shocked, not believing my eyes. Matteo was standing there. I walked up to him. "Here," he said handing me my inhaler. "I saw that you dropped it at lunch. I figured you weren't gonna notice til 6th hour and miss the bus cause of it so I just waited here." I slapped him. "Your sick." There was 2 second silence. "But I think I like you for it." I grabbed him by his shirt and pulled him toward me. I mushed my lips against his. Then he took out his umbrella. I wrapped my arms around him while he held the umbrella. I think I do like him.
