~MARCH'S POV~

When Matt asked me to come over to his house again, my heart skipped a beat. But then I wondered if he wanted Callie to come to and he said 'if she wants'. Of course she wants to. She likes him too, but I can't blame her. I like Callie as a friend and all, but I kind of wish that she didn't like Matt too.

When school got over all three of us walked home together again. Matt brings up that I'm going to his house and asks her if she wants to come too. of course she said yes. I decide to excuse her behavior from yesterday at his house. Hopefully she won't act like that today.

When it's finally almost 5, I walk over to Matt's house. I knock on the door and Matt answers. He greets me and let's me walk in. Callie was already there again. Her clothes honestly weren't much better than the ones she wore from yesterday. I don't say anything about it though. I just want to have a good time.

It was so fun. All we pretty much do is talk, but the conversations we have are hilarious. Matt's friend, Ryan comes over too which made it even more funny. I was surprised about how fast the time went by. Seriously it seemed like I got there and the next thing I knew it was almost 9:00.

I go home and get ready for bed. I wake up the next morning all happy. I get ready for the day, and by the end, I have on a plain white shirt with a red scarf and black leggings with red vans. I have on the usual mascara and eye liner. Today I decided to leave my hair, which is wavy. I get breakfast and meet Callie at the end of my driveway and we start the walk to school, when we hear someone yell our names. We're about 2 houses away but we see Matt jogging towards us. When he catches up we start walking again and talk the whole way to school.

We go to our separate classes and by the end of school, Matt invites us back to his house again. We're making our way back to our houses when he asked us and of course we accepted. He says a few more of his friends are coming this time so it should be even better. I love hanging out with Matt. I mean, who wouldn't?

For the rest of the week we go to matts house after school. It's really fun, and the more time I spend with him, the more I like him. He's such a likable person. He's so funny and chill. I've never met anyone like him before.

Friday at his house he asks Callie and I if we want to go to a party at his friend's house. We both accept and hang out with him for a little while longer. Before I leave, matt says 'see you tomorrow bae' and then what happens next surprises me, but in a good way. He leans in and kisses my cheek. I leave his house speechless. I know it was just on the cheek, but it still means something right? I don't know, maybe I'm overreacting.

~MATT'S POV~

Before March left my house on Friday, I leaned in and kissed her on the cheek. I couldn't stop myself. I don't know what got into me, but I really like her. I'm really glad she can come to the party tomorrow night. I just love being around her. She's such a laid back person and she's almost never serious, and I love that about her.

~MARCH'S POV~

I'm not going to lie I'm really excited about this party. It's my first week of school here and I've already been invited to a party.

I get ready for bed and lay down. I check all my social media and then put my phone on the charger. I fall asleep pretty fast and am happy to wake up to sunshine coming through my window instead of my alarm. My day is pretty boring. All I've done since we got here is unpack or hang out with matt and today I just laid around and was on social media all day.

Matt said the party starts at 9 and he offered to take me since I have no idea where it's at. Matt texted me saying he'll pick me up at 8:50 so I start getting ready around 7:30. I shower and shave and pick out a dress from my closet. I pick a strapless black one that goes down a few inches below my hips. It's plain and tight and i slip it on. Then I pick out some black heals to go with it. I straighten my hair and put on mascara and eye liner. I grab a purse and my phone and go downstairs. It's 8:30 now so I still have some time left until Matt comes to pick me up. I decide to play on my phone until matt gets here.

I look out the window when I hear a car and see matt inside it, pulling up my driveway. I get up and walk out the door. Matt just got out of his car and I walk over to the passenger's side and he opens the door for me. Then he walks around the front of the car and gets in. He never offered Callie a ride. I'm kind of surprised about it too because she hangs out with us a lot. But it kind of makes me happy at the same time because it gives us time alone. For ten minutes anyway...

I say thanks for the ride. I can't think of anything else to say and I'm freaking out. He finally says,"thats a nice dress. You look really good."

I blush and say, "thanks. You look good too." He's wearing khakis and a nice shirt and jacket.

"Sooo... are you planning on drinking tonight? because knowing Alex, there's going to be a lot of alcohol there."

"Yeah I'll probably have a few drinks. What about you?"

"Yeah same. I guess we'll have to stay the night unless we can find someone to give us a ride." he says.

"Okay" i say. Yeah we're under aged, but we're not the only ones who do it.

Matt pulls up to a house that's packed with cars in the yard and along the driveway. He parks the car and we both get out and walk up to the house. Matt knocks on the door and some guy answers saying, "yooo Matt! come in!" and with that, we walk in the house full of people.
