*partly a flashback.. i guess tori is saying what happened in the past*
I have been best friends with Matt since the finger painting, macaroni plate days He was the class clown in school. Matt was always the one to crack jokes, do silly impressions, start food fights, anything you can think of, he did it. Matt was a total sweetheart. In 7th grade, Matt found out that this special needs girl, Gracie, had a crush on him. Unlike the other jerks in middle school who would make fun of her, he would call her his "wife". Every day since then when he saw her, Matt would walk her to class and give her a hug and a kiss on the forehead. That is when i first started to develop feelings for Matt. Junior year of High School, Gracie passed away from a brain tumor. Everyone was "sad" and "heart-broken", but Matt, well he was completely devastated . We are now upcoming Freshmen (a/n: i know i probably spelt that wrong oops) in College. Senior year, he started dating my ex-best friend, Jenna. Jenna and I were attached to the hip. We did everything together. Until one day in 8th grade, she told everyone in school my deepest secret. Which was that I cut, i never told anyone and i tried my best to cover it up .I was hear broken and devastated, and i felt like i was literally stabbed straigh in the heart. So when i found out Matt had a crush on her, i was furious but of course i didn't show it. Matt asked me if i was okay with him asking her out and,I didnt want to hurt Matt and i most definitely didn't want him to know i was jealous so i said that i was okay with it. They started dating shortly after that. When all three of us were together, Jenna was a sweetheart, but when he wasn't there she was the devil straight from hell. i never told Matt because i didn't want to ruin our friendship so i stayed quiet. Matt and I both applied to the same colleges hoping we would get accepted to the same school. And we got accepted to the same one, the University of California, in Los Angeles! When i found out i called Matt right away and started to crying like a baby because it was my dream to live in Cali! Than my dreams were crushed when i found out Jenna got in too.
-present day: a week before college starts: Tori's POV-
i was in my room playing music and packing my suitcase because me, Matt ,and the devil (aka Jenna) were planning on leaving tomorrow so we can have time to settle down and walk around campus.
" Mom!" i screamed. No answer. so i screamed again " Mother the one who birthed me!!"
Still no answer. Frustrated i walked downstairs, went in the kitchen to find a note on the table.
"tori,
I went to the gym and after the gym i'm going to Price Chopper to go buy some groceries because Matt ate all of them :) that boy never stops eating! I should be back around 3 or 4. i left your laundry in the living room. please fold it so you can take it with you. xoxo, Mom <3"
i glanced over at the clock is was 11:30.
"ughhh" i groaned to myself so i went over to the living room and tripped over my little brother's shoes and fell on the hard wooden floor.
"shit! does that stupid troll know how to pick up anything in this god damn house?! all that kid knows how to do is sleep" i muttered to myself. My brother literally takes 10 naps a day and he doesnt have a job or any hard school work so i dont understand why he has the need to sleep for 8 hours and take naps throughout the god damn day everyday of the week.
i heard heavy footsteps and immediately knew it was my little brother ,Trey.
"hey ugly. i thought you were leaving today? i cant wait that way i can get your room and turn it into a man cave" tray said rubbing his hands together in an "evil" way.
"im leaving tomorrow not that it concerns you. you stupid troll. Pick up your fucking shoes i just fell! and a man cave? really? you are only 16 you are nowhere near a man sweetie" i replied.
"yeah whatever. i think im gonna go take another nap im exhausted" he retorted.
"what number nap is that today, 3? you woke up at 7! how many fucking naps can you take? who the hell do you think you are? sleeping beauty?" I shouted. getting furious at him because hes a lazy slob who sits on the couch all day.
" go away i cant wait til you leave. and yes i am sleeping beauty because i am super beautiful" Tray said with arrogance in his mouth. he went to the kitchen took nutella and a spoon and went upstairs.
i went to the table and snatched my laundry and took it upstairs to my room. i decided that i wasn't going to pack a lot of clothes because i knew that i was going to buy clothes there anyways. So i packed a few skater skirts, flowy tank tops, jean shorts, t-shirts, 2 pairs of vans, 1 pair of toms, and 2 pairs of converse. i stuffed it all in my one suitcase and put it buy the door. I looked around my room and it was a mess. i glanced at my phone and it was only 12 o'clock.
So i started to pick up some clothes and vacuum and dust. (the whole 9 yards). when i was done it was 12;45. i plopped down on my bed and started scrolling through instagram. When i came across a picture of Matt and Jenna kissing with the sunset behind them. and the caption was: This girl is more beautiful than the sunset. she is the love of my life happy 1 year baby.
i stared at that picture for 5 minutes and threw my iPhone 5s (gold) across my room. than i realized what i did and ran to see if i cracked it. luckily nothing happened. i was really bored so i threw on black vans, a galaxy shirt that said "FOOD" in bubble letters across it with some jean shorts. i grabbed my custom galaxy penny board and headed outside.i took out my phone and texted tray.
Me :hey trey i went out with my penny mom went to the gym and grocery shopping. should b back by 3 or 4. dont do anything stupid. iku. i made you a sandwich in the fridge. txt me if you need anything.
Lil' Troll: okay.
So i shoved it back into my back pocket and rode my penny board down the side walk to my other best friend's house because .... i really needed to talk to someone....
