breaking the ice

"Erm...hi." I broke the ice suddenly. Idiot. Matt looked at me and observed me again. "Look, I hate this stupid party so just sit there for a while, ok?" I blushed and sat on a chair. "So, you like bands?" He looked at me. I was staring into space until I realised he was talking to me. "Oh, yeah I do."
"What bands?"
"Falling in Reverse, My Chemical Romance, Pierce the Veil...all those bands."
"Wow..so do I." He went back to tuning his bass. "Are you in a band?"
"Well..um..not yet."
"Can you even play an instrument?"
"Of course I can. Guitar, bass, keyboards.."
"Wow, that's quite a list...hey, did you say bass?" He looked at me. I nodded awkwardly "why?"
"I sound like a weirdo, but could you tune this string? I've been at it for half an hour now." He handed me his bass. I observed it. It was a beautiful crimson red, it was a Gibson bass too. "Well, can you do it then? I have to get back to practising for my band." I nodded quickly and turned the one tuning head that was annoying him. It worked like magic. Well, he seemed impressed. "Thanks"
"What is your band called?"
"Bring Me The Horizon."
I froze. This guy..was the bassist in BMTH? I loved that band so much. I don't know whether or not to tell him.
"Hey, are you ok?"
"I love your band! I didn't know you were the bassist!"
He laughed a bit "well, I don't mean to brag but our new record is doing pretty well so far."
I got out of my chair "this is incredible!"
At that moment, Miss Kean shouted up the stairs "DINNER!" Matt sighed and put on a hoodie. "What's with the hoodie?"
"My aunt is here and she always makes a huge deal about me."
I could relate so much. "Same here."
"My aunt is always bringing girls over for me to try and 'marry' them. It's so weird."
Now that was weird. All my aunt does is feeds me her weird cakes and treats.

We walked downstairs and his aunt was standing in the kitchen. Matt pulled his hood up and tried to sneak past her. "AWE MATTY COME GIVE YOUR AUNT A BIG HUG." Now I know why he doesn't like her.
"Hey there, aunt Caroline."
" I have a very special treat for my favourite nephew!"
"What is it this time?"
His aunt grabbed some girls arm who just randomly appeared. "This is the one, Matt. She's got everything and all the qualities needed for a boy like you..." She rambled on and on and my mum was having fun socialising with new people. Maybe this party wasn't so bad after all.
