Matt K. Point of view

Monday will be my very first day in my new school and you can tell I'm so not ready for it. I'm actually really nervous but still kind of excited. I just moved here with my dad some days ago.
It's 5 pm and I decided to go out just to check out the area here. Though i barely go outside and leave my room but I'm kind of curious.
I took my bike and went for a little ride. There was a small park and a playground where I decided to stop and sit down on one of the blue benches. The paint was scratched up and a little dirty. It's late summer and almost autumn. I prefer the colder weather before summer. Let's say, I need the cold to enjoy the warmth.
I had my headphones in and one of my favourite songs was playing. I looked around me and saw on my right side a kid that just fell and literally cried his eyes out. I'm good with children but I wouldn't say that they're not annoying. On my left side was a couple that's been making out.
Kind of gross doing that in public. But that's none of my business.
So I got up and walked with my bike down the street. I saw a lorry in the middle of the street and guys carrying boxes and furniture into a house that looked like it stood empty for a while.
As I walked by, I saw a guy my age, probably. He was tall and had a muscular body as I was assuming. He had dark wavy hair, shoulder length.
I must have stared for too long because he looked back and I felt my face heated up.
"What? Do I look so attractive eh?",he commented and that made me blush a little harder. If that was possible.
"Hey I'm just kidding. I'm Oliver, and as you can see I'm new here.",he explained.
I nodded not knowing what to respond so I just said "me too".
"Do you have a name?", He asked me curiously.  "It's Matt.",I simply answered. I felt so awkward. I don't think my anxiety problem is much helpful though. "Hm you don't look like a 'Matt'.", He said for my surprise. What did he mean by that?
"You go to school here too?", He asked and I answered with a yes.
"That's nice so I'll see you tomorrow, right?", He asked. I just nodded.
"Oh I see you don't want to talk to me.", He said kind of disappointed. But I just can't help because I'm bad at making Friends, not that I ever had some. I shook my head and he smiled a little but I knew it was fake. He wanted to talk to me but I just can't get into the conversation because I'm scared I'll screw it up anyway. What is wrong with me? That's when I noticed, he was literally covered in tattoos. He even got one next to his eye and another one above his eyebrow. I looked down, on his neck sat a rose tattoo. His arms had sleeves as I could see because he was only wearing a t-shirt though for me it was pretty cold. "You have pretty eyes.", He stated and that made me blush and looked automatically down, I could literally feel him smiling at my reaction. was about to say something but we got interrupted.
"Hey Oli! You've already got a friend huh?", A man said, coming over to us. I suppose it's this dad. "Why don't you invite him to dinner? It's ready anyway!", He said and Oliver looked at me with a face expression that asked me if I wanted to.
"Eh I would like to but I promised my dad to be home for this eve.. I'm sorry, but we'll see us tomorrow yea?", I said.
"Aw well that's a pity!",the man said and went back inside carrying another box inside.
"Yes we'll see us tomorrow.", He said.
I headed back home with my bike and my thoughts with Oliver. When I came home I saw dad already fell asleep on the couch in the living room. I took a blanket and covered him so he wouldn't be cold at night. I made my way upstairs to my room, got undressed and pulled on some pajamas and let myself fall on my bed. It smelled like fresh laundry and flowers. I got under the sheets quickly and buried my face in my soft pillows. My cat hopped onto my bed and laid down where my feet were. I closed my eyes and cuddled until I fell asleep with Oliver still in the back of my mind.
