Matt Brown: A Year of Short Stories

One: Watching Matt

You watch Matt from a far. You make sure that he doesn't see you at all. Or at least you thought he didn't see you. You didn't know that he had been watching you too. When you would watch him you would daydream and wish you could be close to him. But your past and trust with other people keep you from getting close with anyone. The men in your pasted would use you and try to get money off of you. You don't think that Matt would never fall in love with someone like you. You have never thought of yourself  as a pretty girl. At night, you find yourself looking in the mirror, to see a lonely girl with fair skin, thick dark brown hair that comes down to your shoulders, with dark blue eyes that are like the ocean. As you get done with washing your face, you put back on your black plastic rimmed glasses. One day, you are at the local grocery store to pick up some things that you will need. You are in your own little world, when you hear someone  speaking to you. You look up to see who it is. It is Matt! He smiles as you look at him. He tells you that he has been seeing you a lot around town and he really wanted to get to know you. You tell him that he is mistaken. He starts telling you about how he sees you watching him. You turn bright red and tells him that you are sorry about watching him. He tells you that he doesn't mind it at all. He comes closer to you and kisses you on the cheek.
