What if it wasn't a love story

Chapter two -Matthew POV

I'm so excited for the weekend . This week seemed endless .I enter the last class I have today & hear girls calling me or being like

"Hello Matty " .

I usually smile or just wave at them but today I don't even have the energy to wave. I don't answer and just take my seat .

Kierra , a secretive girl is sitting on the desk next to mine . She's really pretty but she's really reserved too .

I have always tried to engage a conversation with her but she would always answer briefly. I don't think that she's like the other girls . There is something about that girl that I just can't explain .

I am sure she thinks I am a player because everyone says that I am one. Everyone thinks that a good looking guy with a charming glance & who's not very gentle with all the girls MUST BE a player . What a clever thought .

" Do you think I am a player?" I say .

What The Hell.. Why did I even asked that question .

" Do you think i'm into gossips? I have better things to do."she answers.

Wow ..She's even prettier when she talks ...And for once she's looking at me .

" I thought that all the girls were into those stuffs you know"

I think I said that because I wanted to talk to her and to see her talking more than I already did.

"I think you've heard plenty of times that all the girls aren't the same . You can't generalize ."

The teacher comes in and the class starts. I try to continue the conversation but she just looks at me and says:

"shushh "

That isn't the best word i've ever heard but never mind.

I didn't hear a word of today's english class . I've been staring at Kierra the whole time . But she didn't even have a quick peek at me.
------------------------------------------------Friday's finally over. Before leaving  , I ask her :

" Do you want to hang out sometime? maybe today at 8?"

She looks at me with hesitation  then she finally answers :

" hm why not .. Where at? "

" A classy restaurant maybe? "

" Oh no .. I hate those kind of places. What about the pizzeria next to the BODYFIT gym?"

A pizzeria?

" Do you really want to go there?"

" yes"

" okay , I'll meet you there at 7"

" see you."

Mom's already home when I get there . She asks " how was your day? "

That's maybe the most common question a mother asks .

" It was good "

" Good? Are you saying your day was good ? Something must have happened then , tell me more about it "

How does she know?

" Why do you think that something happened?"

" Matt you never replied to that question saying your school day was good . You always say that it was okay . So tell me more about it  , I want to know now! "

I don't know if all the mothers are so smart but mine is definitely a genius.

" Well , There's that girl in my class .. She's cute & we're going out tonight "

"Oh , that's great sweetie,I don't remember you ever going out with a girl so it must be good news"

" We're just friends "

I never told my mum when I went out with girls because they were almost always stupid hot girls plus I usually just see them at parties . They aren't even worth a restaurant .

" Okay sweetie, where are you two going ?"

" To a pizzeria , she likes pizza"

" Everyone does! Enjoy"

I kiss my mum on her cheek , and she hugs me . I love her and look up at her because she's a single parent and she has been doing her job as a mom and as a dad so well .

And so far,  I can say that she's an amazing woman . I still don't get why my dad left her or left us when she was pregnant with me . I was maybe  a mistake but she never made me feel like I was one.

----------------------------------------

I arrive to the pizzeria at 6:30 pm . I'm so excited to see her . I don't know why but i'm so curious about who she is , what she likes , what's her life like .

Her sitting next to me and talking  ; made me want to know her better in a weird way .

As soon as she enters the room my eyes glow:Her hazel eyes , and her amazingly sculpted lips, and her little nose... She's wearing a black dress which suits her perfectly.

" Hey , you look good" I say.

" Hi , thank you."

I ask for the menu then ask her:
" What do you want to order?"

" a pizza?"

" Oh seriously I didn't know that people order pizza at a pizzeria "

She laughs . I like her laugh.

" I'll have a pepperoni one "

" okay , i'll have that too " I say.

We order and then we stare at each other for a few minutes .
We don't talk, we just look at each other silently. I can barely read her eyes . Maybe she's happy . Maybe she's sad . I really can't tell . But what's for sure is that she has beautiful eyes .
