When our free period was over we headed back to class in silence. Matt didn't say a word, which was weird of him, and I just had my throat completely closed. We had our classes without any interruptions now, which meant no breaks or anything. Four more hours sitting on a chair doing absolutely nothing. Oh joy.

We reached our classroom and I went to my seat, Matt sat next to me like before. I got everything out and then put my phone on my tableThen the lecture started and I drifted off. I rested my chin on my fist and fixed my sight on a point in the wall and just like that half an hour passed. Just staring into nothing. College was so exciting.

But then something made me look to my right, I caught something moving. I glanced up to see Matt with my phone in his hands, moving his fingers frantically over the keyboard.

"Hey!" I scream-whispered to him, while stretching my arm to try and get my phone back. "What are you doing!"

"Shh!" he whispered back. I went back to my seat and sat down, huffing and glaring at him. Five seconds later he gave my device back and I narrowed my eyes at him and asked suspiciously "What did you do?"

He smirked. "Well, if we're gonna be friends you need my phone number, obviously." he replied nonchalantly.

I raised an eyebrow "For what?" I'm sure my face screamed DUMB very loud. A hot guy just put his number on my phone. I didn't have to question him, wasn't going to complain.

"To text me and... stuff. Duh." he said rolling his eyes. Fine. "By the way, I texted myself with your phone so that I could have yours." then he winked. He winked at me.

This wasn't good. This wasn't good for my heart, not at all. I could picture myself getting too attached in only a few days and that was bad, because I knew myself, at least that part of myself. That part where I got all excited and started hearing wedding bells in my head and started naming our nonexistent children and in the end it was all my imagination. No no no, I refuse. I refuse to like him.

I wasn't going to let him get anywhere near my heart.

Still, he hadn't said anything about that, he was just trying to be my friend, apparently.

See, I was already ahead of myself.

Nope, not good at all.

Thankfully, it was now time to go home and be done for the day. That meant I wouldn't have to deal with Matt and his weird enthusiasm until tomorrow morning again. Oh joy. I walked out of our classroom, already plugging in my headphones, and made my way downstairs. When I walked past the parking lot, I heard steps behind me, someone was running.

"Nora!"

I mentally facepalmed myself. Seriously? He's not going to leave me alone for five minutes!? I didn't even turn around, and ignored him, but he was persistent.

"Nora!"

Don't turn around. Don't turn around.

"NORA!!!"

"WHAT?!?!?!" I screamed, finally turning around. I could feel everyone on the parking lot looking at us. This was so embarrassing.

And then guess what he did. Bingo, you got that right. He smirked. Had I said how tired of that smirk I was? No?

"Finally. Are you deaf? I've been calling you're name for hours."

"Oh please, it was only three times." I rolled my eyes at his stupidity. He was so dramatic, this guy. I didn't know why my shyness disappeard whenever I talked to him and I actually had the guts to talk back to him. I guess it was progress. Yay for me.

"So you heard me."

No shit Sherlock.

"Yes, me and the entire population of Vergennes." I rolled my eyes once again.

"You know, your eyes are gonna fall off one day form rolling them so much."

"What do you want Matt?" I sighed. I was tired of this silly conversation, I wanted to go home.

"Nothing special. It's just that you left so fast I didn't get the chance to say 'see you tomorrow'."

What?

I scoffed. "Are you for real? Goodbye Matt." I turned around and made my way to the bus stop. I was far from him when I heard him say "See you tomorrow!!"

I bet he was even waving.

One hour later, when I got home, I went straight to my room. I hang my bag in the hall and quickly got out of my tiring clothes and put on my pajamas.

Yes, I wore pajamas all the time. They were comfy, so what.

Then I headed to the kitchen to see what I had for lunch. Beans. Great.

This day couldn't go worse.

I ate (almost) everything of my plate and nothing else because I wasn't hungry. I had eaten by myself once again since my dad was sleeping and my brother wasn't home, he was with his friends, I supposed. So I locked myself in my room and went over to my desk, turned my computer on and grabbed my notes from class.

I was going to try to study, since I had an exam next week and I didn't have anything else to do; I could as well employ that time in studying. Key word being try. When my laptop loaded and everything was displayed on the screen, I checked my emails (publicity) and my barely existent social media to see that I didn't have any messages. I'm so popular I can't keep up.

Note the sarcasm.

And so I got to study for one hour or so (that's a lot of time for me) when my phone beeped. Who would it be. I expected it to be Stella or Mia asking me about something from class but nope. It was someone I didn't know, at least I didn't recognize the name.

Mr. Sexy-as-hell, 4:53pm

Hey Nora! It's Matt. Just checking what u were doing :)

Matt. Seriously. Urgh, I really didn't want to talk to him right now. Or ever. He was so weird I almost felt comfortable around him. Almost.

I decided to ignore him.

Mr. Sexy-as-hell, 4:55pm

Mr. Sexy-as-hell, 4:58pm

Mr. Sexy-as-hell, 5:10pm

Then I feel my pone vibrating in my hand.
