saturday

i was told by the girls to be ready at 4:30 because we were going to a fancy restaurant. i was excited, good food and good company, they really treating me good.

i started getting ready at 2:30 leaving me with enough time before getting picked up by arya. i showered, beat my face and put my extensions in before picking a sliver sparkly dress to wear with the back cut out. very fancy i thought to myself. i made sure to be ready early so that arya doesn't start nagging me.

imessage
arya

you ready? i'm nearly omw

uhh ya, are you sure a
dress is suitable for a meal
with us girls?

yes!! this place is hella posh,
you must look extra pretty

okay if you say so. lol
i'm still so confused but i
guess new jersians are weird
like that.

whatever 😤 i'm getting in my
car, i'll be at yours in 10 mins

okay

she pulls up outside just as i'm putting my heels on. a fashion statement but not a suitable choice my feet hurt.

in the car i was telling arya how excited i was, eating at a posh restaurant was something i rarely did and doing it with my girls was exciting for me. her road rage got worse by the minute until she was shouting at drivers for doing nothing wrong. this girl was psycho.

we arrived at a place called 'baroque' .... what. barcode? barricade? i'm so confused, how do you even pronounce that. i was definitely not fancy enough for a place like this. arya entered first whilst i was still trying to pronounce the name.

"reservation for polibio." huh? is this girl okay why did she put our reservation under mattia's name these new jersians weird. the waited showed us to our table which was in another section of the restaurant around a corner.

"SURPRISE!" my whole group of friends shouted. i was in a state of pure shock, a surprise party for me?

i looked around the table and saw 100K balloons, my friends were amazing for setting this up. as everyone emerged into conversation mattia waited for me to walk over.

"i hope you like it, it took me a while," he says smiling.

"there's no way you did this.." i reply still in shock.

"well i did get some help from-" i cut him off by mattia bringing me into a tight hug. the fact that he went out of his way to plan this for me was amazing. i appreciated this boy more day by day.

we all sat down and they gave me a massive signed congratulations card and i can't lie i nearly shed a tear i was that happy. the conversation i engaged in throughout the night was mainly with mattia showing him how grateful i was that he spent his free time planning this meal for me, for us.

i didn't seem like everyone i wanted here attended. i scanned the table and no samy in sight. huh? that's weird. why wouldn't he show up? i sent him a text: hey, why aren't you at the meal mattia planned? i put my phone back down on the table feeling a little upset at his absence.

my phone lit up, a reply from samy: this is his girlfriend can you stop texting my man.

a girlfriend? since when... why was she being rude? i only asked one question... this bitch was not going to bring my mood down today. i put my phone down deciding not to reply to the pettiness of the 'girlfriend'. but my phone lit up again. i picked it up annoyed why can't they just drop the subject.

@xlilhuddy: i'm sorry about what happened at the party.

WHAT? there's no way this man just apologised. noooooo way. i sat there in disbelief but tried not letting my emotions show because i did not want people to see this.

i replied with a simple it's okay. it was better to let the matter drop instead of dragging it on because some internet beef was not what i needed. my phone flashed up again but i didn't care anymore i just wanted to enjoy my meal. i hope mattia didn't see the message from chase because i knew he would be mad, maybe i shouldn't have replied. i won't think about it for now.

just as i thought the night has ended mattia announced he's having a party at his house. the night was just getting better. i was about to have the time of my life. mattia and i left fast so we could get to his house before everyone else arrived to set up. i was so excited.
