Distractions

As the sun shines through the window I try and recollect why I'm so tired. Oh yeah I met a really cute boy who plays piano and he played to me till 3am and then I had tones to do so didn't get to bed till 5 and I'm getting up at 7 that's what happened. As I get ready for the day my mind keeps drifting back to the mysterious boy I met last night. Whatever I do I can't get him out of my head. I'm in the shower, oh that smelt like that guy last night. Im getting dressed, oh this top is a little like that guy wore last night. He's everywhere yet I can't remember his name. I look out of my window that looks out onto a forest that I used to spend all my childhood in searching for fairies etc, etc. I reply all the conversation and then it hits me like a wave against a rock. "MAT!" I shout out. Probably a little too loud as Patrick comes in asking who I'm talking about.
"It's nothing go back to bed pat it's early." I say to him in a small voice.
Mat still doesn't leave my head when I walk to rehearsals he's always in my mind. His eyes, his figure, his scent, his smile...his everything. I told myself quite a while ago not to fall in love when you have so many other things to keep up with. But I have to admit I did have a crush on him. He was what made me smile when no one else could.  I walk into the same hall I was in less than 10 hours ago and sit in the exact same place. I don't know how but it reminds me of Mat. Around 10 minutes later everyone else starts to join the once deserted hall. I see familiar and unfamiliar faces. But one stands out to me. It looks familiar but I just can't place it. He had sapphire eyes and light brown hair. Then all the memories came flooding back. Mat, the gorgeous boy walking through the door was Mat. I quickly drop my eyes from him and look around at all the other students. A few moment later I feel a warm but firm hand on my shoulder. I look up and see Mat standing 10 centimetres away from my face. He smiles at me I take in a breath and breath out slowly. My insides are swirling and mixing around I feel so giddy being this close to such a angel like Mat.
"Hey," he whispers just loud enough for me to hear. He moves his hand from my shoulder down to my hands. He plays with my fingers. He then returns his gaze to my eyes.
"I was wondering if I could show you something tonight?" God I'm already falling head over heels for this guy. "Yeah sure. When? Where?" I reply feeling even more nervous than I already was. He just giggles at my response. "Tonight, here 11:58pm." He says softly. I breath again and inch lightly closer to him. I look up at him right in the eyes and smile. He smiles back.
"I better go Alice but I'll see you tonight?"
"Yeah..." I say I'm just love struck that's all I can say. He drops his hands from mine and stands up and gives me one more smile and walks away to the far corner and sits down at the piano. Throughout the rehearsal I keep glancing over at him and quickly moving my eyes away before he notices. Most of the time I'm fast enough but sometimes I'm not and we lock eyes for a few seconds. This continues throughout the 5 hour rehearsal. Even though I do glaze over at him occasionally I can sense he's doing the same. When the rehearsal finally finishes I pack up my stuff and head towards the door when an arm grabs me and I turn around to see Mat standing there with hope in his eyes.
"So your coming tonight?" I look at him and smile. He sighs and pulls me into a hug.
"I'll see you later then." He waves good bye to me and so do I and with that I walk out the door and home to my hell.
