Going Bowling

There are no strangers here; Only friends you haven't yet met. ~William Butler Yeats 

The next day I went to school.  Everything seemed as normal as always. Everyone was talking. And me, well, it was me and my music. Then Klaus, Marley, and Sasha came by.

"hey Marley, Hey Klaus, hey Sasha," I said with the last name being said in a soft way.

"Hey bells, I heard about what happened with Matthew" Sasha smiled

"what? on how we became friends? " I questioned

"No, that you two are dating" Klaus confirmed

"good joke!" I laughed "I have more chance on dating a flying unicorn pooping rainbow before dating him"

"oh Bella, don't be so harsh on yourself." Marley said and then took a sit on a chair. I looked at the door noticing Matt was running to get inside before the door was closed. He took a sit behind me. I chuckled a little.

"What are you laughing at Lopez?"  He whispered in my ear

"I honestly never thought of you as a bad boy"

"I can be a bad boy" he said pulling a little in his sweatshirt and then crossing his arms acting like a bad boy "wait why am I a bad boy?"

"cause you are really late" I said looking at the teacher. He giggled, which I had to admit I liked. Giggles from boys always caught my attention, especially cute giggles like his.

As the class was over, Matt grabbed my arm softly wanting me to wait for him. I slip my arm gently and waited for him.

"So I was wondering if maybe we could do something tomorrow, Friday" he wondered

"Yeah...umm...sure. Where do you want to go?"  

"Umm we could go bowling" he suggested. 

I shook my head.

"oh please no. I suck at bowling. Like totally stink, stink as elephant shit" I explained. He laughed at the last part.

"I bet you don't stink, or at least not that bad" he said putting his hand on my back "and you have me to teach you; so you are not going to be that bad"

"Oh don't brag too much Lucker, that don't impress me much" I laughed as I pulled his hand away from my back. He shook his head and then we started walking to the next class. Once again, stares.

Why does everyone have to take stuff so seriously? I honestly think that is so absurd. I mean, really, if they think I would ever date Matthew, they are just crazy. A boy like him would never go out with a girl like me. I took a sit next to Klaus who was looking at me with a 'someone's got a crush' face. I had to admit, I did have a small crush on Matt but I had to take my mind out of it, he's forbidden property.

"Don't look at me like that" I barked

"I'm not looking at you as you think I do" he said, confusing me a little.

"wait, what? Oh, don't do that. You know exactly what I mean"

"no I don't"

"I'm going to hit you with a hockey stick if you don't stop doing it"

"Where are you going to get a hockey stick from?" I glared and then grabbed my pencil case and hit him with it, on his arm. 

"Ouch, what was that for?"  He frowned while rubbing his arm

"That was my hockey stick" I smirked. He glared and rolled his eyes. I just chuckled. We stayed quiet for a little while and then he looked back at me, "so...are you dating him?"

"Klaus don't get started" I sighed

"but you seem like it"

"It doesn't look like anything" I frowned

"Come on Bellz you really seem as if you guys are something"

"yeah, we are friends"

"And me?"  He asked "you are replacing me?"

"Of course not. You're always going to be my best guy friend" I smiled. He smiled back and scraped my hair swiftly. I just rolled my eyes.

"And are you going to do something for your birthday" he then asked

"I'll have a small tea party, in which I want to see you there"

"tea parties are for girls" he whined 

"you have to come"

"no I don't want to" he cried

"No brownie for you, then" I smirked

"Ok, ok fine just because you are making the stuff" he said. I laughed. I never got why people liked my pastries, they weren't that good.

"And are you going to invite Lucker?" he asked

"Of course, he is my new friend" I replied.

Friday came by. I was getting ready to go bowling. I put on a white and blue striped tank top and a pair of jeans. I put on some eyeliner and a bit of purple lipstick and waited for Matt. He had a small bouquet of red and black roses, which really caught my attention.

"I know your favorite color is Black, that's why I decided to bring black roses with red" he smiled. I smelled them for a second and then looked at him

"they are beautiful, I love them. thanks!" I thanked him and then hugged him.

We got to the bowling place and started playing. Matt started helping me, which caused me to blush a little because I never had a boy holding me that close. I started getting better and we ended up tied in the game.

"I told you I'm the best" he said as we went back to my house

"we were tied. How does it make you better?"

"Because I'm the one who helped you" he smirked. I giggled and rolled my eyes.

"did I tell you? you have the cutest giggle" he complemented

"not that I remember"

"well you do"

I just looked at him and blushed.

We walked to my building and walked all the way to my appartment. We then stopped at the door.

"So what are you going to do tomorrow?" He asked

"well I'm having a tea party and you are cordially invited"

"Really? That's great because I have a gift for you" he smiled

" Oh wow, you shouldn't have but thanks, I'll be waiting for you" I said opening the door. He held the door before I could open

"I got to admit something to you" he said looking down. I frowned worriedly

"what's up Matt?" I asked

"I like someone" he said. I just looked at him
