¡3rd person¡

Kairi didn't know what to do. He preoccupied himself by cleaning the whole house, putting the vases and picture frames back up.

He made transition and dancing videos to post on tik tok, and no matter how hard he tried not to, he watched Alex and Mattia's tik toks about being together.

"He couldn't even wait a day, a day" Kairi muttered to hismelf, shutting his phone off. He decided to switch his room up a bit. Moving his desk, bed, nightstands, even buying glow in the dark stars. Anything to keep him from thinking about the Italian boy.

And it worked, was working. But, at 11 at night, he layed in his bed and cried. Cried until his throat started hurting, cried until his pillow was becoming wet, cried until no more tears came out.

He sat up and turned his phone back on, once it was fully on, he went straight onto Alvaro's and his messages. He sent a quick message, asking if he was busy, getting a reply that he wasn't made Kairi start typing the situation.

The last sentence being, 'basically, he ended the bet. And I'm totally wrecked.'

Not even ten minutes after, he heard stomping on his stairs, and he really wished it was that non-existent serial killer.

But instead it was Alvaro and Alejandro, and those were the second best options for Kairi. "Kairi, oh my gosh are you okay? Do I need to fight him? I may be small, but I can whoop him." Alvaro said, sitting next to the sad boy.

"It's fine, I should've seen it coming. But, if I'm being honest, I wish it never ended. Like, it felt nice. Even if it was a stupid bet ya'know? It felt nice knowing he thought of me, and did these things that created feelings for him." Kairi sighed,

"But he wants Alex. And, I gotta respect that. No matter how much it really is hurting me inside, I have to respect that because I'm a good friend. Because, I wanna see him happy."

Alvaro looked at Alejandro and pouted. "I'm sorry Kairi. If I could stop you from feeling the pain I really would. I'm sorry that you had to be dragged into such a bet that leaves you alone." Alejandro hugged the shorter one.

Alvaro joining, and Kairi let them. He was vulnerable, and he wanted attention. He craved it at the moment. They hung out for about 30 minutes, the two boys getting Kairi's mind off of Mattia.

But, they had to go, since it was a school night, and it was already twelve in the morning.

School, something that Kairi didn't want to think about, let alone go to. He could go, and just deal with it, or not go and enjoy his Friday, alone.

Alone.

Alone was what Kairi was scared of. Scared that he'd be alone in the group because he couldn't find anyone that liked him. Out of everyone who dated him, they left him. Him.
Feared he was unlovable. That no one would ever learn to like him, that he would forever be unlovable and alone.

And maybe that's what it was. That he was destined to be and live alone. That he would have a house full of cats, wondering where his life went wrong.

But, with a heavy heart, Kairi Cosentino decided to get some sleep.

¡Mattia¡

Kairi liked me. He liked me. And I like Alex. And Alex likes me.

When I said life was finally going my way, I think life was going too much of my way. 'I liked you for so long, and then this girl comes along and makes a video saying 'hi' for a minute straight and suddenly you're in love? Mattia you're an absolute idiot!'

I wasn't an idiot. I'm most certainly not gonna let him get to me. He's my best friend, nothing else. Either way, I still felt the guilt clawing at my stomach. It wasn't my fault! He agreed to the bet.

I shook off the thoughts, driving to Alex's house. She was home, which means I can ask her to date me. It's nerve wracking. Even if I know she's gonna say yes, it's just the thing of asking someone.

"Hey Alex!" I chirped, as she opened her door, letting me in. "Hi Mattia! What's up?" She asked, sitting back down on the couch. I stood by the door, before shuffling in front of her. "I gotta ask you something," she nodded letting me know she was waiting for the question.

"Will you, wanna go out with me?" I asked, and she immediately smiled and nodded her head. And Kairi said she might not be ready, pfft-yeah right.

"Of course Mattia! I thought you'd never ask," she said, hugging me, I reciprocated the act. "Well I did, and I think it's safe to say that I'm glad I did."

••●••

It was nice knowing my fans were supporting our relationship. It just sucked that Kairi wasn't really. He's one of the people that mattered to me, and dang. Alejandro, Alvaro, and Roshaun are okay with it.

But, I think it was because they knew I wasn't in the wrong. I mean yes, if it were to talk about the bet, but no, because that was the whole reason for the bet, to be with Alex.

It was to never hurt Kairi, never.

Anyways, I got home, saying goodnight to my parents, before heading up to my room. Today was stressful, but with bad things come good things, and maybe Kairi just needed time. That had to be it. He'll find someone.

¡Kairi¡

'I love you Kairi, I do. Just not the way you want me too.'

'Dude, Alex is perfect.'

'I don't regret kissing him.'

'How about you put one on the cheek and call it even?'

"I like Alex, her.'

'It was platonic. It was a stupid bet!'

Waking up at three in the morning sweating, was probably the worse way to wake up. Having a dream of your day from the beginning, as it was full on shit, made it even worse.

Mattia didn't like me, and I just have to live with that. But why wasn't my mind letting it go? It wanted to torture me, keep replaying the argument, so I wouldn't forget.

'Just move on Kairi!' I yelled in my thoughts. 'Get over him!' If it was that easy, I would have. If all I didn't think of was the Italian boy then yes, done deal.

But, sadly, it wasn't that easy, and all I ever did think of was that Italian boy. If only there was someone who can be my mind off him, then that'd be cool.

Even if they can't take the place of mattia.
