Half an hour later, we were lying on top of our jackets –probably in the middle of the woods-, eating the delicious food Matt had bought himself. There were several kinds of sandwhiches, some berries, juice and cookies. Yummy.

"This is really good, you know?" I told him sincerely. After the waterfall incident we hadn't talked much and the silence was making me nervous.

"I knew you'd like it" he smirked at me. "Actually, I was 100% sure you'd love it."

I cocked my left eyebrow. "Oh really? And how could you be so sure that I would actually enjoy this? What if I was allergic to peanut butter? Or to berries, or anything like that?"

"I have my sources."

"Oh you stalk me now?"

"Come on, I just asked around a lil' bit."

"Who on Earth would tell you something like that?"

"Well Aubrey, of course."

"WHAT?!" I shrieked. Now this, I couldn't believe. It had been a couple of days since I had last talked to Aubrey. I really thought our friendship was coming to a hiatus, simply because we were both in our own worlds. I wanted to believe that she wasn't those kinds of friends that when they had a boyfriend they disappeared from your life. It was certainly not the first time that Aubrey had a boyfriend, but this time it seemed to be serious. They have been together for five months now I think.

Yeah, pretty serious in Aubrey's book.

"Yep. I just asked her if you were allergic to any kind of food or if you absolutely detested something in particular and she said no."

"You asked her? Just like that?" What are you, best friends now? I thought to myself

"Yes, is that so hard to believe?" he rolled his eyes at me. "She was actually very excited about you and I going on... this."

"This." I gestured to the both of us; he nodded. "This? And what is this?"

"Umm, well, I-I guess it's a... some kind of... date." he stated. Although he made it sound more like a question. If he expected me to answer that, he was going to be waiting for a while.

"Oh" was my oh so brilliant answer a few seconds later. We both fell silent as we didn't know what to say and the situation was pretty awkward per se.

"A friend date, of course." Matt quickly specified. "Like, two friends hanging out."

"Oh, right." again, brilliant.

After that precios conversation, we just talked about pretty miscellaneous things really, like homework (lame, I know), projects, etc. Even though the topics we were treating sounded kinda boring, Matt made them interesting. Even though I wouldn't admit it, I could hear this boy talk for hours.

His voice is deep and manly, but not to the point where it gets scary. It's just very sexy.

Sexy.

Oh my God, I just thought Matt's voice was sexy. What is wrong with me? And whatever the hell had happened at the waterfall? That was odd too. I don't know, for a moment there I thought he was going to kiss me. Maybe I wanted him to. Did I want him to?

Gosh this was confusing, and nothing hade ven happened. Well, for a girl with zero experience I guess everything is confusing. At times like this Ithought I was sorta pathetic. I mean, an 18-year-old girl (almost 19, mind you) who had never even been kissed? How lame was that.

Basically that's why I felt so insecure all the time. Add that to zero self-esteem, unstable family, tiny friendship circle and you have my horrendous life. Well, not completely horrendous, only a little messed up.

Moments like this made up for the rest though.

"... then I though, why the hell not? And that was the first time –Nora." I realised Matt had been telling me somthing for a while while I was just fantasizing about kissing him and how awkwards I was. Suddenly, a hand appeared in front of my face and a pair of fingers snapped. I, startled, blinked a few times. "Nora! Were you not listening to me?"

"Yes! Yes I was!"

He gave me an are you serious look.

"Oh really? What did I just say then?"

"Uhh... You said... That you were having a lot of fun here?" I tried my innocent face. I probably looked retarded right now. But that was me, master in embarrassing myself.

He barked a laugh and dropped his head. "Mmmhh not really. Although I certainly am." he smirked at me. I could see his brown eyes sparkling at me.

Bastard.

So he retook the topic, whatever he was talking about while I zoned off, and I laughed at his silly faces and I admired him from afar and while he told me with such a passion about everything that he loved, every sport, every song, every book, every movie, every kind of pizza that he loved, I realized something.

My heart was beating faster every time that he spoke and every time his beautiful eyes were looking right into mine, I would feel my cheeks burning up and the tips of my fingers shaking and I was a mess inside.

I liked this boy.

I really did.

Like a fucking lot.

Shit.
