After that meal with Diana and Janice, I walked back to class. Matthew ran past me and  jumped, yelled a 'boo!' in my ear and sped off.

I was stunned and could only yell, "Matthew Sabers!" and ran after him.

I caught up to him at the door.

He grinned at me and I smiled back. My heart was doing crazy flips and the butterflies in my stomach were doing somersaults and flittering around. Oh gosh.

It took all of my strength to keep myself from telling him I liked him so much.

"Hey, when the teacher goes through answers later, come in front. We can talk," he offered.

"Peace." I said and he smiled.

We went in and, true enough, Miss Cellaneous made us copy notes. I ran straight to the front and sat by Matthew. "Hey," he greeted. I beamed. "Yo," I greeted back.

Claris glared at me and started yammering away at Matthew.

I got a little quiet after a while as Matthew was preoccupied with Claris. So I turned to Matt who was next to me. "Do you ship Matthis?" I asked. He frowned.

He was the only one who knew I liked Matthew. He frowned.

"I prefer Zannthew." He commented wryly and I smiled and slugged him on a shoulder.

Matthew looked down at me and smiled. "How's life?" he asked.

And we started talking.
