Just Matt ( Matthew Espinosa )

Chapter One

Melissa P.O.V

Everything about him is just perfect... this boy who lived a few streets away... Matthew, we have been not really friends but acquaintances for a while now, so that makes us... nothing. Mum's decided that we need a bigger house since she's expecting a baby soon, that's right, a baby! Ahh I am so excited but scared!

"Mel come on we gotta go", Mum yelled from down stairs,

"Where are we going?", I call back down.

"To check out a few new houses, I want to show you two around the area", she called back again, I always knew I'd be leaving this little house sooner or later but its definitely a lot sooner than I expected.

"Come on Mel we're leaving right now" Dad called out. I ran down the hall and jumped into the car.

"Really Mel, thats what you're wearing?" I heard Dad say as his looked at me through the rearview mirror, I looked at myself to see that I was wearing a black jumper, blue denim shorts and ugg boots.

"Fine I'll change, give me two minutes?" I asked as I opened the car door.

"Go" he mumbled.

I run to my draw and pulled out black denim shorts, I found my grey young and reckless crewneck then ran down to the garage, I quickly took out my red vans from a nearby cupboard then hopped in the car. My hair looked fine it was just straight hanging down and my makeup was very light, only mascara and some light lipgloss. I put my earphone in and listened to music until we reached the first house,

"What's this place?" I asked as I focused my gaze on only the house. It wasn't even that big... What was the point in moving here? We walked up to the door and peeked around inside,

"Ah how can I help you?" A guy asked walking towards us,

"We're here to look at the home inspection..." Dad trailed, I walked into a room which looked like the lounge room... The room was completely green... everywhere... The carpet was a baby green, the walls were a shade of forest green and the curtains... I think it's better left unsaid.

"House one", Dad mumbled not looking very happy, we walked into what would be my room, it had a beautiful white ceiling with some ancient smooth curtains and the pink car-

"Pink Carpet" I mumbled looking at Dad,

"We can get that fixed" he assured me then rested a hand on my shoulder... I hate pink! I turned around and completely ignored the kind guy who was currently talking to mum, instead I walked outside and sat by the car, I sat there for a while as music played a little loudly through my earphones,

"Thank you for your time" I watched the guy say to my parents, I was just watching them all engage in conversation while I just sat against the car alone.

"Ready?" Dad asked as he unlocked the car,

"Yes!" I half yelled as I opened the car door.

"Next house" I heard mum say from the front, I just ignored everything and pushed my earphones further into my ears. The next house which was 'supposedly' a few streets away from the house we were currently living at is considered 'modern' but we'll see,

"Alright Mel I want you to come see this please", Mum pushed for a happy tone but I could tell all she wanted was to go home and rest, I groaned then opened the door revealing the cool air, it was supposed to be spring but it felt like autumn, I slid out of the car and walked towards the house,

"Mum can I just stay here?" I asked as I shut the door behind me,

"Don't you want to come see the house?" She asked frowning a little,

"Not right now" I whined a little trying not to make it obvious that I was not enjoying this.

"Fine" She turned her back towards me and left making her way towards the house. I found a spot on the front lawn and dropped, taking in the cool breeze and trying to withstand it as I close my eyes, I'm not cold...I breath, I'm not cold... I start to imagine that I'm sitting on a nice hot beach somewhere in Australia, somewhere like Queensland however, that's soon ruined by a swift cool breeze turning my warm beach into an ice cold igloo... I'm not cold I can do it... I breath again.

"Uhh ahem" I hear someone say, I open my eyes and there he was. Matthew Espinosa looking... At me!
