Why like this? (Matthew Espinosa)

Again

Once Cameron left I got in the shower. Gracie texted me as soon as I got out.

"Hey girl. So I hope you can still go tonight I have news!!" she texted me.

"Yeah same here. I just got out of the shower I'll text you when I'm done and about to leave." I sent back to her.

I just couldn't the thought of jack out of my mind. I tried to think of the positives such as he's almost done with school since he has finals and Matt asking me if I wanted his jersey, almost getting kissed, and finding out Cameron isn't as much of an asshole as everyone says he is.

I didn't dress up or anything I just put on a t-shirt from Halloween horror night and shorts and sneakers and left.

Once I got to Dunkin Gracie was already there. She had ordered my drink. She knows me to well.

"Thank you very much for this heaven on earth." I said sliding into my chair with a smile on my face.

"Well anything for my little baby." she said laughing

"Anyway so what's the news that you had to tell me??" I asked her.

"Oh yeah. So today I asked Carter if I could wear his jersey and he said yes!! Also some number texted me today and I have no idea who it was they said 'hey' I replied 'who is this' and they never responded I was like psh oh well. They just want all of this." She said laughing.

"Well congratulations on Carter. But I got a text just like that today. I asked who it was and never got a response. But today after 7th when you were doing your thing with Carter I was with Matthew and we went around the corner next to the lockers next you ours and he like pushed me up against the lockers and asked if I would wear his jersey. I didn't ask him either. I played it off cool. Because I'm cool like that. But he leaned into kiss when we were interrupted by Tina texting him and asking if he wanted to hang out he said no but then Nash came around the corner so I kinda just pulled away like it never happened. But Cameron thinks Matt likes me. But now my sad news. I gonna try not to cry." I said then the door opened and we both looked over to see who it was.

Cameron, Carter, Nash, and Matthew all walked into Dunkin.

"I guess you just couldn't get enough could you." Cameron said walking over to me and sitting down

"Hah. Your funny. I was gonna push you in the water today but I'm to nice of a person to do that." I said smirking at him.

"Yeah sure you were. I mean I could have done it to you but you know." Cameron said standing up pretending to flip his hair.

I laughed and went back to what I was saying to Gracie.

"Wanna go out side and walk around the pond and talk?" she asked me while I was still laughing trying to stop.

"Yeah sure." we both got up and left.

"Ok so back to what you were saying about your sad news." Gracie said frowning.

"Ok if I cry don't feel bad. I couldn't do it earlier because Cam was over when I found out. Ok well jack called my mom today saying he wasn't coming home this Saturday." I stopped there as a tear rolled down my face. "But it's because he has finals and now he not coming home for another 4 weeks and he's gonna miss my birthday and I haven't seen him in about 2-3 months." By the time I got done saying all of this I was balling my eyes out. Gracie was hugging me trying to calm me down.

"Hey look it's gonna be ok. Your gonna see him. And knowing your brother he's gonna make it up to you I know he will. Trust me." She said still hugging me.

"He wants me to call him when I get home. I don't know if I can stay on the phone with out crying." I said picking my head up. "Sorry I kinda got your shirt wet." I said to her laughing.
