The player ❁ Matthew Espinosa

Lauren;

I woke up to my phone vibrating, indicating it was either my alarm or that someone was texting me.

I groaned and rolled over to my small dresser grabbing my phone. It was a new house and I've only been here for the weekend and being nervous was an understatement.

I checked and saw it was one of the girls I'd met on Saturday. Her name was Bella and she had long straight brown hair, wore nerdy glasses, wore the "popular" clothes and was very athletic.

I looked at the text and it read:

Bella: I'll be waiting outside of school when you get there so I'll show you around :) look cute ;)

Me: stop (;

I got out of bed and grabbed an outfit which consisted of a white crop top, high waisted light washed shorts, a pink cardigan and my white converse.

I went to my bathroom and changed then straightened my wavy hair, satisfied with how it turned out.

I went to my room and grabbed my rose gold watch and iPhone, then grabbing my white lace backpack and checked to make sure everything was in place.

I ran downstairs grabbing an apple on the way while saying bye to my mom. I walked I school since it was only a block away.

I got there and there were dozens of people all messing around or in a circle probably gossiping.

I looked around for Bella and once I saw her she was with a boy almost my height.

She saw me and waved me over. I walked over and the boy just stared at me, I decided on introducing myself first.

"Hi, I'm lauren" I smiled putting my hand out for him to shake "Brandon" he smiled shaking my hand.

Lunch

I found out that I have all my classes with Bella and Brandon except for pre algebra with Brandon and English with Bella.

I walked in with Brandon and was instantly glued to his side not wanting to get lost with the huge amount of people in the cafeteria.

We walked over to a round table with a boy and a girl.

"Hey guys this is lauren" he smiled looking over at me. "Hi, I'm Andrea and this is Noah" she smiled

She was really pretty, and Noah was also quite cute, like Brandon,

Soon Bella came to the table and we were all chatting, mostly me answering questions about where I came from and why I moved.

I looked back and saw this tall blonde boy looking at me while smirking, I awkwardly turned away and Andrea and Bella were already looking at me.

I gave them a confused look and then grabbed my hand leading me out of the cafeteria to a restroom.

"What are you guys doing" I asked "you saw the blonde boy right" Andrea "yea, why" I asked "that's Matt, he's the player, sooner or later he'll try and get with you so watch out" she says putting her hand on my shoulder

"I'm new" I laughed "I'm not looking for anybody" I said "you don't have to be looking for anyone, he gets you unexpectedly" she sighs "it's happened to both Bella and I" she says looking down.

"I'm sorry" I frowned. She then looked up and smiled "dot worry, he's not that cute anyways" she laughed and Bella, Andrea and I headed back into the cafeteria.

Matt;

I was with my friends at lunch when I saw an unfamiliar face at Noah's table. I squinted my eyes for a better look and saw it was a girl with long brown hair with blonde tips.

She turned around and her face was absolutely stunning. She has to be new. She gave me a small smile and turned around,

"Matt" Kylie snapped at me "what" I asked annoyed "were you even listening" she asked rolling her eyes. "No" I mumble. She gasps and turns away from me.

I hang out with the populars so I have to be around the preppy girls meaning I get migraines a lot.

I'm also known as the "player" which is quite sad considering I used to be a nerd.

People always came to me for things and girls would always be stuck to me. I've been this person for almost a year.

No one really knows my actual personality, they know my dick personality, you know the fake me. The one I have to pretend to be because I'm ashamed of who I really am.

I looked at my friend Cameron and he raised his eyebrows to me. Cameron was the only person who knew about the real me. He became popular with me,

He's the only one who's there for me. He came and sat next to me an It was quiet for a minute.

"so Justin's having a party Friday night, you going" he asked "you already know he answer" I chuckle

He laughed and the bell rings meaning I have calculus next, my worst subject.
