Internet Friends // Matthew Espinosa

Chapter 6

When I woke up, I turn around and Matt's there. Sleeping.

With his arms around waist.

Why is he here? Did we get turn up to high? I laugh to myself . No, we went to Six Flags.

I get up and text Riley.

'where are you?'

she texts back.

'at Leanne's house be back tonight.'

'k'

"AAH!" I yell as Matt pulls down to the bed, by my shoulders.

"Did you post thissssssss?" Matt puts his head in my hair and puts his phone in my hand.

It's a picture of me and Matt, sleeping. And there's a variety of comments like,

'OMG SO CUTE.'

"Um, no." I widen my eyes.

"CAMERON!" Matt gets up.

"I need to get ready." I get up.

"For what?"

"I'm going to the mall with Autumn." I go into the bathroom.

"Can I comeeeeeee?" He asks.

"No. I'll probably meet you later." I put mascara on.

"Fine." He says. "Bye, Nicooooole."

"Bye, Maaaaaaaatt."

He hugs me from the back. I kind of try not to be shocked.

"Bye, dude." he says.

"Matt, next time," I laugh. "Don't be so flirty."

He opens the door and leaves.

I finish my makeup and put on a white crop top that has the Starbucks logo on it, denim high waisted shorts, a bracelet that says, 'be mine.', a peach cardigan and black converse.

I text Autumn.

'where u at?'

'In front of your hotel :)'

'k'

I walk out and bump into Hayes.

"H-hey, Nicole."

"Hey," I look up. "What's up?"

"Nothing." He looks down at his phone. "Gotta run, I'll see you later?"

"Sure." I walk out to meet Autumn.

I see her, already in a cab waving her arms. I get in.

"Hey!" Autumn hugs me. "Driver, Kings Plaza."

"So, what happened with Shawn?" I ask.

"What? Nothing happened. Nothing at all." She replied quickly.

"Are you sure?" I ask.

"What happened with you and Matt? Don't lie, I saw the post."

"We watched the Purge and I fell asleep." I roll my eyes.

"Did you bang?" Autumn whispers.

"WHY DOES EVERYONE THINK WE-" the driver looked at me. "Never mind and no!"

The taxi stops and we go into the mall and we buy a pretzel from Wetzel for breakfast.

We're walking through Forever XII when an idea comes to mind. I stop.

"What?" Autumn keeps looking at clothes.

"Do you like Shawn?"

"Why do you ask?"

"We should set you up on a date! We're in New York!" I get super excited. "And I'll ask the boys to help me!"

"Um, why?"

"BECAUSE!" I roll my eyes. (I do that a lot) "YOU LIKE HIM. HE LIKES YOU."

"Sure. Why not?" She doesn't seem enthusiastic.

"We need to buy you a dress!" I run up to the dresses.

"I don't wear dresses." She says.

"Now you do."

"But, what if he doesn't say yes?"

"Trust me, he will."

"Can the dress be bright?"

"Duh." I pick up a lime lace dress and a pair of black high heels. "Yay or Nay?"

"Sure." she says.

I text Matt.

'hey i need you to help me with something.'

It was as if he was waiting for me to text him.

'um sure.'

'i wanna set shawn and autumn up on a date.'

'really?'

'yeah can you like tell shawn that you wanna hang out or something'

'k'

I don't text back and I give the dress to Autumn.

I go on instagram and take pictures of the Forever XXI logo.

She walks out.

"ZAYYYYUUUUUUUM." I say.

"I look stupid!" she says.

"I'll buy it." I say and take a picture.

We buy them and walk out.
