¡Kairi¡
°Sunday°

If I knew it was gonna play out this way, I wouldn't have said yes. I would have shoved him and told him to ask Alvaro. My bad, Alvaro was just closer to him, if I was never in the picture. But I, Kairi Cosentino, royally made the mistake, and I couldn't blame anyone else. Only Mattia, and Mattia only...of course.

  But even I couldn't do that.

If my stupid heart didn't take and have control of the way I felt, maybe it wouldn't have turned out the way it did.

I would have said "Okay Mattia, have fun with your girlfriend." Not tell him he can't leave me. It was a bet, a stupid bet that had me feeling like I was in love.

But how was I supposed to know any better? I didn't think I'd catch feelings, and that's on Alvaro's haircut.

I wouldn't have gone to school if I knew a bet was gonna make the next month terribly wrong yet right. All at the same time.

Instead Sunday night, us five sat in Alejandro's room, playing video games, not knowing the next few days were gonna be filled with nothing but feelings, feelings I had to deal with. Feelings that I had to face on my own.

"Kill the zombie, dumbass!" Mattia yelled at Roshaun, as he yelled back, shooting the zombie. "If we lose this streak I'm killing you, no cap." Mattia screeched.

You can hear them and the controller buttons clicking from miles away I bet. "Yo chill! Y'all just playing a game!" Alvaro laughed, looking up from his phone. "Boi, your barber played you with that cut!" Mattia yelled back.

"It's not that bad..." I heard Alvaro grumble, putting his hand on top of his head. Alejandro laughed, getting hit from his boyfriend.

I sat there. It was so much easier not communicating than having to. Plus, the thread on the bed seemed far more interesting than them hollering, even if it was funny.

Why'd I have to be friends with such...attractive boys? They were cute, I'd admit that. Heck, two of them were dating. Roshaun had a girlfriend in Cali, and Mattia, had a crush on every girl that said hi to him.

Me? I liked the boy that liked every girl that acknowledged him. It wasn't hard keeping that a secret, but Alejandro found out. Called it his gaydar, or whatever.

But, it felt nice. I had Alejandro to talk to about the tall Italian boy, than keeping it to myself. So I knew if anything, Alejandro would be there. Sometimes Alvaro too. Roshaun maybe, he'd hear some conversations, but he was real nice and understood if you didn't wanna talk about it.

"-airi? You okay?" I haven't noticed but, all of them were looking at me. "Yeah I'm fine why?"

"You blanked out man," Mattia said, making me shrug, "oh." They continued doing what they were doing, the only difference is that Alejandro was by my side.

"Kai?" He started, "What's up man?" I looked at him, and smiled. "The sky." He looked at me, and I swear it looked like he was ready to drop kick me. "Gonna ignore that cringey reply, okay. Seriously."

I sighed, giving him a knowing look. "Oh, Mattia." I nodded, and shoved a pillow in my face. This is why you can't have Italian friends. They're just attractive either way, whether God's on there side or not.

"Don't take this the wrong way, but why'd you gotta like the guy that likes every girl that notices him? Don't get me wrong, he's our best friend, but wow."

I let out a dry laugh, "I know, I know. It's because God really doesn't want me to go through high school without any problems." He agreed, I looked down and checked the time.
8:45 p.m.

"Crap, I gotta head out, I'll see y'all tomorrow." I dismissed myself, putting my shoes on. "Okay bye! Hey Kairi do me a favor?" Mattia asked, me humming in response. "Don't let a clown get you. We don't need to reenact 'IT' do we now?"

'That'd probably be better than the overwhelming filling in my chest every time you smile at me.' I stuck my tongue out.

"Ha ha. That was the best joke of the century." I lazily clapped, waving bye, before making my way to my moms car. "Hi sweetheart- how was Alejandro's?"

"Oh you know, the usual. Playing video games, making tik toks, joking around." She nodded, then proceeded to ramble on about how good of a kid Alejandro is, and how well his parents raised him.

"Anyways, make sure you have your stuff ready for school okay honey." I nodded, "For sure." As I made my way upstairs to the safety of my room. Tomorrow is gonna be a new day, I'll be fine.
