New Love | Matthew Espinosa

Chapter 4,

Tuesday, the next day:

I woke up at about six am, not feeling so good. I sat up and looked at my wall, as I was in my bed, and just thought about Sammy. He's been in my head since last night, and the situation that happened last night.

As I was looking at my wall, my stomach growled at me telling me that it was hungry. I listened to my stomach and hopped out of bed, quickly making it, heading down the stairs afterwards.

I stumbled into the kitchen and noticed everyone, including the girls from last night, were in the room. I huffed and rolled my eyes, hating seeing people that aren't my family first thing in the morning. Good job I wasn't in just my singlet and underwear, that would of been embarrassing.

"Morning," Hayes ran up to me and flashed his dazzling smile up at me. "Morning," I responded while getting some bread out, not wanting to look at anyone.

"Everyone is thinking of ditching today," Hayes whispered to me; it going over my head. "Cool," I put the bread into the toaster.

"Are you going to ditch?" Hayes whispered again; getting slightly on my nerves. "No, I'm not that type of person," I walked over to the fridge and made it clear to everyone, that happened to be listening.

"I think I might," Hayes perked up and puffed out his chest, trying to be 'cool'. "And what's dad going to think about that?" I poured myself a glass of juice.

"He would be mad but he doesn't need to know," Hayes shrugged; fear in his eyes. "Hayes, it's not good to ditch. And Matt would you stop staring at me please!" I put one hand on my hip, getting really annoyed.

"Um, sorry," He swung around on the stool and faced Cameron who was looking at him; Cameron laughing and hitting Matt's hand. Matt whacked Cameron in return to tell him to shut up.

"Matt kept on wanting to go into your room last night," Hayes chuckled, while I had disgust on my face. "Ew, why?" I got my toast and placed it onto a plate; spreading Nutella onto it.

"I don't know, it was weird," Hayes shrugged. "Just please keep him away from me," I turned around and bumped into Shawn.

"I'm so sorry," I held my plate tightly, making sure my toast didn't go anywhere. "No I'm sorry," He smiled; as his eyes shone.

There was a long pause where we just stared into each other's eyes. I don't know what this feeling is, but I'm not sure wether I like it or not. It's not a feeling where you like a person, it's more of a 'what is' this feeling.

"I- uh- I better get dressed," I cleared my throat. "Yeah, I better eat," Shawn slightly moved backwards. 

I ran straight past him, straight up the stairs and down into my room. I closed the door behind me and made my way over to my bed, sitting down and stuffing my face with my toast. 

After a couple of minutes eating my toast and getting quite full, I placed my phone down onto my bed and stood up. I took myself and the plate back down to downstairs, where everyone still was. 

"Aye Maddie, keen to join us on our ditch day?!" Taylor yelled, catching my attention. "Nope, I'm going to school," I opened up the dishwasher and placed it into an open slot. 

"Same. I'm going to go to school," Shawn spoke up, also catching my attention. "Boo you guys suck," Taylor playfully rolling his eyes, pulling the down thumbs up.
