You & I Were Fireworks

♔ L u c y ♔

Exiting the bathroom, I notice a small Calvin Klein bag sitting on my bed. Inside is the black shirt with the logo on it.

I instantly text Matt: Did you get me the shirt?

His reply come within seconds: Maybe 😉

I bite my lips, meakly smiling at the gesture.

I text him saying: You really didn't have to, but thanks, Matt.

He says: Anything for you, Princess 😘

I grin at his text and think of his gesture. Matt has been really nice to me ever since we've started talking. Cocky, yes, but very nice.

Thinking of that, I instantly feel like an a-hole about all the things I thought and said about him.

I sigh to myself once I realize that I forgot to give him the phone case I bought for him. I recalled him saying that Doge was his favorite meme.

I decide to give it to him the next time we meet. Which, I doubt won't be soon. So far, Matt and I have hung out quite a lot. And all of those times have been more than pleasant.

As I snuggle up in bed, I unlock my phone and text Matt.

Me: knock knock

Matt: who's there?

Me: your mom

Me: 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Matt: why are you like this?

Me: oops 👀

Matt: mom's hosting a 4th of July party. You should come.

Me: when?

Matt: 3ish? It's kind of like a barbecue.

Me: should I bring food?

Matt: you could. Other people from school are coming too.

Me: ew

Matt: what happened to nice Princess?

Me: ha

We text each other back and forth for a while. When he has to leave for dinner, I go downstairs to see when food will be ready.

"Hello yes where's the food?" I ask Linda, who rolls her eyes at me.

"I ordered take out."

"Okay thank you let me know when to get out of my room." I point finger guns at her and walk backwards out of the living room before running back to my room.

When Independence Day arrives, I ask Megan to find me something patriotic to wear. In the mean time, I dip pretzel sticks in white candy melts, then a little in blue before drizzling red candy melts on top.
