IF YOU DONT READ THE SUMMARY THIS WILL NOT MAKE SENSE! 🌞

*Authors POV*
*knock knock knock* "Honey can you please come out and have dinner with us? It's been awhile and I miss you." Her mom asked 
No response.
"Honey please!"
No response.
"Okay..  I really miss having conversations with you. Even your pesky brother misses you. I guess I Will just slide a piece of pizza under your door.. Again."
Emma has a younger brother who is 14 and annoys the crap out of her. But sometimes they get along. Sometimes.

*Emma's POV*
I lie in my bed staring at the ceiling. I hear my mother talking to me. I really miss her too but I know if I try to talk to her all she will talk about is Matt. She really liked him.... So did I. I hear the piece of pizza slide under my door and look at it. I look at it like its the saddest thing I have ever seen. I remember when me and Matt went to Peter piper pizza. That was so fun. That was the night Matt first held my hand. I stop thinking so I don't cry and I look back up at my empty ceiling again. I don't cry because once I start to cry... I know I won't ever stop.
   I haven't had a conversation with my mom in 2 months. The last convo I had with her was telling her that my leg was broken and Matthew wasn't breathing the last time I saw him. I say a few words to her like "okay" "yes" and "no".
Kylie tries to text me every now and then. I don't see her at school anymore since it's the second semester and our classes switched. Plus I asked to move lunches so I don't have to see her or any of my friends. That might sound selfish. But I don't care. I don't care about anything at the moment.
  My latest text from Kylie says "what are you on mute or something?"
No response.

It was Monday. I woke up and did my morning routine. First I get dressed then put my hair in a pony tail. I haven't really cared much about my appearance lately. I used to wear makeup and curl my hair everyday. Then I go out into the kitchen and eat a bagel. Usually in the morning my moms already at school at my brother is already at school.
  I drive an old Chevy truck. I love it. I get to school and avoid Kylie and all of matts friends. I go straight to class. We get to work and suddenly a new student walks in...
"Okay class today we have a new student," Mrs. Martin said cheerfully "would you like to introduce yourself?"
"Uh hi my names carter, carter Anderson. I play soccer and football. Im not the type of guy who likes to read or study or anything like that hahah.. And yeah." He said.
I was staring. He was gorgeous.
"Well carter, perfect time to get here.. We are assigning partners for a history project" The teacher babbled.
"Oh perfect" he said with sarcasm.
"Well please sit behind Emily, Emily raise your hand so he knows who your are. Thanks. So partners... Lemme think. Emily and Jacob, Carly and Alex, Liz and jones...." She went on until she said my name and guess who I got assigned too. Carter Anderson. That's just great. "So get in your partners and talk about who you want to write your project on, I will give you 15 minutes." 
"Hi my name is carter" carter said with a slight smile
No response.
"Um well I was thinking we could to our project on Elvis. Because he's the greatest person alive and his first song has such a inspiring meaning....." He went on and on and on to the point where I wasn't listening. "Well here's my phone why don't you enter your number." So I took his phone and I did. "Give me your phone I'll enter mine into yours too," I gave him my phone. "You don't talk much huh?"
No response.
"Ok.. Well the bell just rang so I will text you I guess" he stated.
He got up quickly and walked out. I got out of my seat and asked the teacher if I had to have a partner and if I did if I could change it. She said yes and no.
"So first you ignore me then you ask to change partners? Wow you really must hate me." Carter said kinda upset.
I turned around realizing that he was right behind me and instantly regretted it.
