Living With the Mirrors

The Date. Mathews POV

It was finally Friday and I had a date with a girl who was 'out of my league'. She was pretty, inside and out, smart and funny. I was jumping up and down waiting til' Friday.
Robyn asked me which movie we were going to watch. I said it was a Suprise—but just between me and you, we were going to see Finding Dory, (Its fun and I know she likes cartoons). How? If your wondering I didn't stalk her or anything like that because she has no social media profiles. Not that I would even consider doing that.
Its going to be amazing first date ever. Then afterwards I am going to take her to Debonairz. It's a pizza restaurant. I know she loves pizza due to questioning, not stalking.

End of school.

"Hey Matt!" she called to me.
I turned towards her voice, "Yes?"
"I was wondering if I could go home with you, and then we go to the date. Is that ok with you?"
"Yes but just wondering why?"
"I don't like anyone besides Keean, who lives next door, seeing my house. You are just going to have to trust me on this."
'Ok but you don't have anything to wear. Or do you?'
'Oh shoot, I really didn't think this through. Ok fetch me at 7. You know where I live.'
'I have never seen your house.'
'No one has exept Keean. See you later?'
'Bye!' I called after her. Her hair was just longer than her shoulders and it was a red colour almost a dark blonde colour.

The time for the date arrives.

I am driving down the road towards her house and its summer so the sun has not even set. I turn the corner onto her road and I see a mansion. Is that her house? I look at the mailbox. 22. It is? How can she be embarrassed? I park the car and walk up the drive way. I knock on the door.

Knock knock.

Her mom opens the door.
'Hello, you must be Matt.' she says warmly, ' I've heard so much about you.'
'Ok, I'm coming down stairs mom. Don't laugh!' she walks down the stairs and looks me in the eye.
'I said no laughing!'
'I'm not. Its just...You look stunning!'
'This is just a casual dress plus I'm wearing converse with it and ballet shorts underneath so it's technically not that much of a dress!'
I took her arm and my big sister took us to the movies. The movie was great. I love Baby Dory. She has the biggest and cutest eyes ever. I love her and her short term memory loss makes her even cuter. We sat next to each other but of course there was no kissing or hugging because this was a first date not anything else. My sister agreed to fetch us and drop us at home at 10 when we had watched the movie and had dinner. She had a classic pizza and I had a everything pizza.
'And girl with a appetite.'
'Well, I don't care about my weight. And my appearances. Because I exercise all the time plus my weight never seems to change. I'm always been 35kgs and I have never changed since 12.'
'Hey Robyn tomorrow is Saturday and we only have the science project to do so would you like to sleep over. No funny business I promise. Then tomorrow we can work on it.'
'Matt how about you come and stay at my house? Cause you have already done so much tonight. I even have spare bedroom for my brother. Who is at university. He won't mind. He let's my friends sleep in his room all the time.'
'Ok but don't you need to tell your parents first?'
'I told them already they said it's ok. And also my parents will act really weird since you are sleeping over so just don't freak out!'
'Ok, what do you mean weird?'
'Weird how?'
'Like super weird.'
'Wow!?'
I read the message. It. Was. Weird.

Oh my darling this is great. Your very first boyfriend! How sweat!
Talk to you soon.😱😘😘😘😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😇😍😘😸
-Mom

'Ok, I see the weird part and also what's with the emojis?'
'I don't know? Mom trying out her new phone?'
'Right, so first boyfriend huh?' I said slyly, 'Never had a boyfriend in nursery school or primary school?'
'Thats just it Matt. The truth is.... I have never gone to school before because of my condition. I have never had a boyfriend. I have always been homeschooled by my stepdad. He is a principal. Or at least he used to be.'
'What condition? You Mean the one where your eyes glowed green for a second and you froze in science when I took off your glasses?'
'Yeah, how did you know?'
'I saw it. Also what is that condition?'
'This is bad. This is really bad. Also its not important about my condition. Let's just say I have blackouts. We need to go and talk to my parents. They'll know what to do!'
'To do about whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...?' she pulled me out of the shopping center and down the flight of stairs. Ignoring the lift. She ran and I found it hard to keep up and soon my breathe evaded me. Only two more floors to go. Why was she in a rush. She turned to me and locked eyes for a second. I thought I saw a flash of a scene in them. I must have really been I tired. I was now seeing things. In her eyes I saw us. Was that even humanly possible? But not us now. It was us working on our science project tomorrow. She was laughing and holding my hand. Then suddenly I was yanked out of my thoughts and into reality as we jumped into my sisters waiting car.
'Charlotte please take us to my house. Matt's sleeping over!'
She seemed in so much of a hurry. What was her condition about? Why did she have blackouts? Her eyes glowed lumo green during a blackout? None of this made sense. What did it all mean? I understood nothing of it.
