My Dream Life (Matt Sturniolo)

Chapter 4: The Show

"Hey, I'm Matt" Matt says as he drops my hand. I'm still in awe but somehow manage to get my name out "I'm Sophia, it's so nice to meet you" I say as I stand next to him. "It's so nice to meet you as well and I like your name" he says as I put my hands on my face to hide my blush. I then felt hands on mine. I lifted my hands off to see Matt. "Ok so first we are doing trivia, so I need you to be smart" Nick says as we all laugh at his joke. I then sit where Matt tells me too. "So are you from here" Matt asks as he hands me a white board. "No, I'm actually from LA but I live here" "Ohh you're from LA so why did you move down here" Matt asks as the team tries to set everything up "Well, I started nursing school down here, so I just moved instead" I giggled as I told Matt. He just looked over at me and smiled. "Ok guys so trivia is starting" Chris says into his mic as he sits next to his teammate. Matt turns around turning my chair with him. I then turn my head to Gracie as she mouths " that was so hot" to me as I just laugh at her. I then turn around to see the question as I look at the question, I realized it was easy. I then felt Matt put his arm on the back of my chair. I could've died right then and there. The question was " ' who was the first explorer to settle all around the world' I then grabbed the marker and wrote down the answer as I look up at Matt who just had a confused look on his face. "Its Magallon" I say as I giggle giving him the marker which he takes as he looks at me astonished. " The answer is... Magallon" as Nick and Chris look to see if their answer was right, Matt immediately pulled me into a hug as I got the question right. "yes" he said as I giggle at him. We ended up winning the trivia as we got 8 out 10 rights. Then it was basketball. I used to play basketball all through my middle school to early high school years. I even went to state a few times, but I gave it all up due to injury. "Ok so do you want to go first" Matt asked me as he offered the ball "I don't mind, its whatever you want" I say as I look up at him with a smile as he looked down at me with one. I then felt the ball fall into my hands. I noticed that we were going first.  I walked up to the goal as I saw Chris smile at me. I smiled and shot. I ended up making the shot making the crowed go crazy and making Matt, Nick, and Chris all come up to me and give me a hug. With in the next rounds, we all missed at least one shot. Everything was going ok until it was Nick's teammate's turn. Nicks teammate goes to shoot and instead of going in; it hits the rem flying back heading towards me. I prepared to get hit but felt nothing. I then hear the crowd go nuts especially Gracie as I look to see Matt standing in front of me holding the purple ball. I then looked up at him. He then threw the ball back to Nick as Nick jokingly says "we have a small malfunction everyone continue Gia" he says as she goes back to shoot actually making it this time. Matt grabs my arm, and we stand as far away as possible from the goal. "You ok" he asks as he puts his arm around my shoulder "I'm good, just scared me a little" I say with a laugh as he pulls me closer. I then start to think; is he always like this? I then saw Chris and Matt exchange looks; as if they were talking to each other through their minds, which honestly wouldn't surprise me at this point. I continued to watch as the Chris's team did their last round. The show went on pretty well. Matt was really sweet and touchy, but I kind of liked it. If you told me this would happen 3 years ago, I would've called you a lair. Matt and I ended up winning. I was so happy for him. We all took a picture before we had to get off the stage. As we took the picture, I slowly felt Matt put his arm around my waist pulling me closer to him. I looked up at him with a smile as I looked back at the camera. Once the pictures were done, I went to get off the stage before Matt grabbed my arm. "Would you like to come backstage?"
