Summer Rain

Friday

Once the bell rang for class, I  gathered my things and walked out the door. I see Matt.

"Hey, ready for class?" He asked.

I shook my head. "No, not at all." I replied.

Matt is in the middle of Storm and I. Matt and I make small talk until we reach History. I didn't mind History. I sat down at my usual seat. We don't have a seating chart in any of my classes so students can sit wherever we want. I sat in the far back right hand corner by the window. It was like this for every class. Matt sat in front of me and Storm was to my left. 

The teacher introduced them, "Everyone this is Matt and Storm Liekos." She didn't make them get up and make a life speech or anything. I sort of wished she had though so that I could have heard Storm's voice. 

Snapsnap

I blinked.

Matt was chuckling and snapping his fingers in my face.

"45!" I shouted like a mad Irish man.

He started laughing. "Hahaha, oh man! That was great! I was trying to talk to you for 5 minutes!"

He so did not. I narrowed my eyes.

"Okay maybe thirty seconds. I'm not patient."

I chuckled. "Yes, I see that." I replied, my face burning from embarrassment. 

The rest of the day with Matt was fun. Storm didn't say an entire word all day. I was practically dying inside. Why was he so quiet? I wanted him to talk. I wanted him to talk to me! I wanted to ask Matt but those two are together 24/7. And I can't really get a word in without Storm hearing. I felt his stare sometimes too; I made eye contact with him so many times today. When I caught him looking he wouldn't look away. He didn't care he was caught. He watched Matt and I.

Just observing us.

When the bell rang I walked out and went to my locker. When I opened it, not even a minute later Matt and Storm came up to me. Storm stood on my right and Matt on my left. I'm shocked when they opened the lockers next to mine.

I aparently had new neighbors. I was used to being alone and now I'm in the middle of both of them.

Matt smiled at me. "Ha so I see we're neighbors until we graduate. Why hello! I'm Mathew." He said with a wink.

I just chuckled. "I'll never get rid of you, will I?" I said while smiling.

He chuckled and returned it. "Nope, afraid not! We're all going to be together forever!"

I laughed but there seemed to be sort of a double meaning behind his words... He sounded sort of serious almost..?

Once we were done, I walked to the parking lot -- with Storm and Matthew close behind. "So did you guys drive here?" I asked.

"Nah, we walked." Matt replied.

 "Are you being sarcastic?" I asked stupidly. Growing up, I never understood sarcasm.

They stared at me for a moment. Matt started dying of laughter. I looked over at Storm who was grinning.

He's so handsome. Looks like there's a person in there after all...
