I woke up laying on the couch. I examined my surrounding and had a craving for a cigarette. I grabbed the box and a lighter and headed outside. I sat in my chair and just inhaled the deadly addictive toxin that I find enjoyable.

I look around and I hear a shuffling come from the bush barely 10 feet away.

"Who's there?" I asked.

There was another rumbling, only this time appeared a wild Matthew lurking in a bush.

"Can I help you stranger?" I chuckled, but the cigarette between my lips again.

"Yeah you can by putting that "metaphor" out of your mouth." He smirked, proud of his The Fault in Our Stars moment.

"No I don't think I will. It relaxes me." I said puffing smoke out.

"Well we need to change that as well." He said.

Matthew grabbed my cigarette and threw it in my pool.

"What the fuck you fucker?!" I said angrily.

"What?" He asked.

"You threw my peace in the pool!" I did getting up to retrieve it from the water.

As I was about to grab it, Matthew thought it was a good idea to push me in.

"Matthew. Leave. Now." I said getting out.

"Why?" He laughed.

"Because you're being a fucking douche bag." I said grabbing my things.

"Fine. I was just playing around." He said sadly.

As Matthew walked away, I started to feel really bad.

"Matt wait." I yelled to him.

He stopped, turned around, and walked towards me.

"Yes?" He asked.

"You wanna come in? We could maybe Netflix and chill. Except we will actually be watching Netflix and chilling, and not fucking. Because we're neighbors and you are a manwhore." I joked.

Matt laughed at my comment and agreed to coming inside. We walked in and he plopped himself onto the couch, in search of the tv remote.

"It's on the coffee table." I pointed.

He looked at the coffee table and grabbed the remote.

"Thanks." He smiled.

"You're welcome. Alright now I'm going to get out of these wet clothes and I'll be right back."

Matt nodded in agreement and I ran upstairs to my room and locked the door behind me. I grabbed a pair of sweats and a sweater and went back downstairs to see Matt watching Family Guy. I sat next to him, but not to close.

He must've noticed because he pulled me closer. I tried to scoot back over but eventually failed.

"Why are you trying to get away from me?" Matt asked.

"Because 1)I don't know you and b)I will feel awkward because I like yo-yogurt. Yeah because I like yogurt." I said awkwardly.

Yes I had a slight crush on Matt but he'd never like a girl like me. A junkie that's always out and racing and partying and all that stuff.

"What was that?" He smirked.

"I said I liked yogurt." I lied.

"No you didn't." He said sitting up.

"Fine. I said I like you. There happy?" I said getting up.

I was pulled back down on the couch. Matt turned my face and did something I thought he'd never do..

He kissed me.
