Matchmaker (18+)

Chapter 4

Alixa's POV
For the first time in years....

I sat at an empty table during lunch. Nobody was even on the other side of the table. I was the only person...sitting at that table.

"I'm assuming that...this seat sadly isn't taken?"

I picked my head up. I saw Skylar and River.

"Hey guys."

"Sky uh...told me everything."

I didn't say anything. I just nodded.

"Can we sit with you?"

I nodded. They put their things down then sat down across from me.

"Still wanna go to the arcade?"

I shrugged. They just looked at each other.

"I-I'm sorry for putting you both in that situation earlier."

"Don't worry about it. You were only trying to help."

"If it makes you feel any better...Bolt's the one interested in you."

"Huh?"

"Wasn't planning on telling you at the wrong time. I didn't wanna fuck your friendship up."

"Well...you don't have to worry about that now...this doesn't change our friendship right?"

"Hell no. It doesn't."

"We're still friends with you."

"Skylar wants to be more than friends though."

"You're so lucky...I'm not beating your ass."

"So...are you still interested in her?"

"Are you kidding? After what she did to you? Hell no. I'm not interested anymore. I'm immediately losing interest. How the fuck do you use a friend like that? And then she fucking admitted it? What the hell is wrong with her?"

I shrugged.

"What the hell is wrong with people nowadays?"

"I'll go to the arcade with you two. I like spending time with you guys anyway."

"What time should we pick you up?"

"Any time is good honestly. Just not early in the morning. I like sleeping in on weekends."

"Don't we all though?"

"True. That's true."

"So when we're done with the arcade...do you wanna go get lunch with just me?"

"Yeah. That should work."

I managed to genuinely smile.

"Ah. There's the smile that I love."

I heard Sophie's laugh and looked. I saw her having fun with Carmella and her fucking goons.

"How are they even attractive?"

"Who?"

"Carmella and her little bitches."

River and Skylar turned around.

"Have you noticed the amount of surgeries, they've had? Weren't Misha's tits smaller last month? Amanda clearly got some lip fillers."

"Oh shit. You're right."

I woke up in my room at 3:30 in the morning. I looked at my phone to see what day it was. It was Monday. I was relieved to see that everything with Sophie, was just a dream. A very bad dream.

I blame my insecurities for that shit.

I got up out of bed and got dressed.

I hate dreams that feel real...

They really fuck with me and my head.
