Chloe P.O.V

   Me and Matt began walking back to my house with sort of an awkward silence. All I could think about was how embaressed I was and how I probably smelt so bad being  covered in milk and all. Matt was such a nice kid. I probably came off like such a bitch in the bathroom when he was just trying to help. "Matt.. I'm sorry if I came off like a bitch before in the bathroom. I didn't mean to..." Matt cut me off in mid sentence

  "Stop no need to apologize at all. You were mad and embaressed I would of been telling everyone off if I were you. You managed to keep your cool." He smiled brightly at me and knudged me jokingly. He's big brown soft eyes met mine and we kind of just looked at each other for a little with out saying a word. Matt was beautiful. The kind of beautiful you can never find. He's like the refreshing fresh air of the out doors after being stuck inside all day. He was different, in an amazing way. There has to me more to this guy then I already know.

  As we continued to walk in silence in started becoming uncomfortable. I knew I had to say something. Chloe.. common say something.. but Matt beat me to it.

     "So what were are your friends names again? There's quite a few I forget some." He chuckled softly. He's doing it again. He's looking at me with those eyes. I can't believe how attracted I already am to this kid. How many hours has it been? Seven? If I were to fall for him I would need Cameron's approval. My older brother had died in a car accident 1 year ago. It was probably the hardest on me cause me and him were so close. My dad left us when I was 5 so I don't have an older man figure to look after me. So that's where Cameron comes in. We've known each other since we were in kindergarten. We became friends cause he didn't know how to spell his own name. So I'd help him. We've been joined at the hip ever since. He has helped me through every tradgic event in my life. My dad leaving, my brother passing, just everything. So he approves of all my dates and takes care of me. Then we met all of our other friends along our journey.

   "Chloe hello??" Matt was laughing waving his hand in front of my face. I guess I got too lost in my thoughts.

   "Oh yeah right the names of everyone! I'm sorry I was just thinking.. Umm there's me, Cameron, Jeanie, Nash, Jack G, Jack J, Mahogany, Jess, Hayes, Courtney, Aaron, and now you" I smiled brightly at him.

   "Hayes and Nash are brothers right?" he asked.

   "Yeah Hayes hangs with us sometimes when Nash says he can. Hayes is a sophomore." I replied politely. Hayes usually hangs with his own friends but chills with us a lot. For a sophomore he's pretty mature being were only juniors.

   "Well you guys seem like you've known one another forever. Are you sure I'll fit in?" Matt questioned seeming pretty doubtful that we'll all be welcoming.

   "Yeah you'll fit right in. The guys are all chill. We all hangout most of the time but sometimes the guys will do their thing and the girls will do our thing. But the guys will invite you to go out with them whenever they do. They have a sarcastic sense of humor though they all joke with one another. You can handle it." We both sort of smiked. Finally what felt like the longest walk ever we reached my house. I had an average house. Two stories and a finished basement nothing special. My moms a doctor so she makes a decent amount of money. But she's always working everyday from 6am-12am and sometimes nights. So I'm always alone but she let's me have friends over whenever.

    I opened the front door with my key and walked in. "Welcome to the Harvey household" I said echoing over the stair case.

   "You have a beautiful home." Matt said smiling and looking around.

    "Thanks" I smiled back. I walked him up stairs to my room. I had purple and gray walls with pictures of me and my friends on my one gray wall. I have a queen bed with a purple and gray comforter.

   "Cool room" Matt said sitting on my bed making himself at home.

    "Thanks I'm getting in the shower make yourself at home. You can go down stairs if your thirsty or wanna snack or chill up here. The romoute to my TV is on my dresser and my speakers are over there if you wanna listen to music." I grabbed a towel and went in the bathroom, turned in the shower and closed the door. I started playing some Miley Cyrus and got in the shower. Shit.. I forgot my clothes in my room. I'll have to walk in there in only a towel. I'll tell Matt to look away. I finished up showering, singing along to adore you by Mikey Cyrus. I shut the shower off put my towel over me and walked out. "Matt.. shut your eyes for a second I'm in a towel and forgot my clothes." I said anxiously.

   "Don't worry Clo I'm not looking." Matt giggled. Clo.. he called me Clo.. I haven't been called that since my brother Jackson died. He always called me Clo. I didn't correct him though. As I walked in I saw Matt looking through my sketch book.

    "Where'd you get that?!" I said sternly.

    "I'm sorry Chloe it was on your bed. You're very talented." Matt said amazed by my sketches. I only let my brother and Cameron look at them. No one else. I didn't wanna make an issue so I just sat next to him and realized which one he was looking at. The one of me and Jackson. It was my favorite picture of us that I decided to sketch it. "Who are these little kids?" Matt asked nicely.

   "That was me and my brother Jackson. I was 5 he was 8. It was taken around the time my dad walked out on us." The picture was of me and Jackson sitting on a bench together looking at the ducks in the pond. I was pointing at the only swan in the water and Jackson was laughing. Me and Jackson went to that bench everyday after my dad left. Just to sit in the quiet. We did this everyday for 2 years. After those 2 years Jackson or me would go there when we were upset. That's where'd I'd sketch and that's where'd he listen to music. Thats where I'd always find him when he was upset and thats where he'd find me. It was my favorite picture of Jackson and I because it symbolized both of us. So I had to sketch it.

   "Am I going to meet your brother? Jackson?" Matt asked me. I tensed up a little being I still got upset about it.

   "No.. Jackson died a year ago in a car crash on his way back from college to visit us. He went to UCLA." I said softly holding back my tears so Matt wouldn't notice.

   "Chloe, I'm.. so sorry... I had no idea.." Matt mumbled off.

   "Its fine You didn't know." I smiled at him reassuring that I was okay.

   "Maybe you should get dressed Clo." Matt giggled at me. SHIT! I was still naked! I grabbed my favorite yoga pants, a thong, my favorite Victoria secret sweatshirt, my bra and some deoderant and rushed in the bathroom. I got ready quickly. I put my hair in a side braid, some light make up, I put on my sanoks, and some perfume. I walked back in my room and Matt was all ready to go.

   "Are you ready Mr. Espinosa." I smiled at him

  "Yup!" he said excitedly. We grabbed two long boards out of my garage and head for big Mikes pizza to meet the everyone else.
