The REAL Magcon Academy

Chapter 4

**Your POV**

Is this actually happening? I've never kissed anyone before. What do I do? How does this work? I don't have to worry about those questions for long. Our lips are almost touching when a huge group of girls hound Matt. Of course, I don't know how I didn't see this coming. I mean, he's Matthew Espinosa. THE Matthew Lee Espinosa. It was bound to happen now or later. But why couldn't it be later? Matt lets go of me, and looks into my eyes for a second. He looks sad, miserable even. Like he didn't want to have to let go. But why? I'm no one special.

"I-I'm so sorry. It's my fault, I knew this was going to happen," he says as he turns away. "I'll be right back. I promise."

Matt turns away, and I can feel my eyes start to burn. We were so close, it feels like he's still there. The girls are surrounding him, holding out their phones, trying to touch him. I know he won't let them do anything wrong, but I'm still extremely jealous. All of those girls, they're gorgeous. He could easily hook up with one of them.

"Who's that girl over there, Matt?"

"Yeah, what are you doing with her?"

I hear a couple I fans asking Matt. They all have different opinions.

"Aww, she's sooo pretty!"

"Ew, I'm so much better."

"I ship it."

"Why her?"

Some of the girls are saying the sweetest things. But the bad things overrule. Their comments spin through my head. Am I really that ugly? Should Matt like her instead? I can feel my heart sink. The butterflies are no longer in my stomach, just a pit of emptiness.

"Guys, GUYS!"

It's Matt.

"Stop talking about her. She's a friend of mine-and," he's saying to the girls.

"And what, Matt?" one of the girls rudely asks.

"And I think I love her." Whispers go through the crowd, but I can't focus on them. Did he just say that? Does he know I heard it?

"Yep. I'm way better," the snotty girl says. "She's extremely u-"

"Don't, even, go there." Matt says. "Y/n, come here!"

What do I do? Those girls will KILL me. But I can't ignore him. I'm completely stuck.

"Come on!"

I find myself walking towards him. I'm not ready for this, but I can't stop myself. I reach Matt, and the girls won't stop staring at me. Their eyes sting, I can see them filled with hatred.

"This, is y/n," Matt says.

The whispers start again. It's a mixture between "ew"s and "aw"s. I don't know which ones are right. I swallow hard. I've never been more nervous in my life, but I can't show them that.

"H-hi," I hear myself say.

The whispering stops. All eyes are in me, once again. Was that a mistake? No. It obviously wasn't. Because next thing I know, Matt's lips are on mine. I close my eyes, and I'm in a whole new world. A better world, where those girls don't matter. Matt stops kissing me, and he turns towards the fans. I hear dozens of "awww"s and "oh, my, gosh!"s. The girls seemed happy, and instantly I knew those were his true fans. But there was still a couple "ew, her?"s out there. Those were the fake fans. The fans that like Matthew for his looks, not for him. I know his true fans should like him no matter who he's with.

He just happens to be with me.

With that, Matt turns around, grabs my hand, and we start heading back to the campus.
