Omegle

Chapter Three

after snapping this boy back and forth for however long, i learned a lot about him. we managed to get really close in just one night. i really liked him, and i could only hope that he liked me. the next morning, i really wanted to skip school. i just needed a day to flush this boy from my head. he wouldn't leave my mind, and i couldn't go to school if i was thinking about him all day. the only thing was that it was my birthday. this meant that i was gonna go out to dinner with my friends and i couldn't skip school then go out for dinner. i took a moment to think and then decided to go to school. the entire day was just like any, boring, regular day. i just wanted to go home so i could go out for dinner with my friends. after the day ended, i went straight home so i could go talk to mattia.

we facetimed while i got ready for dinner, then he had to go get ready for work. i was excited for dinner, since i haven't seen a lot of my friends since i moved schools. on my way to the restaurant, i couldn't stop thinking about mattia. what was he doing? probably talking to other girls. he said he had to work but do i believe him? not really. once i got to the restaurant, i met with my friends. after talking for a while, we went in to go sit at our reservation. it was refreshing to talk to my friends after such a long time. i missed them a lot, and talking to them made me feel a lot better.

maybe i didn't need to be constantly thinking about mattia, because there's so much more to be grateful for. maybe i can just talk to mattia for fun. i eventually told my friends about mattia. they were all supportive, unlike my friends at my new school. at my new school, all my friends were fake and judgemental, which is why being with the friends from my old school was so refreshing for me. they were all weirded out by the fact that i met him on omegle, but who cares, right? our waiter finally came to take our order, but when i looked up, i was not prepared for who i'd see. it was mattia. i just went with it like normal, and told him what i wanted. he didn't say anything, so hopefully he didn't know it was me. continuously for the rest of the night, he kept looking at me. i didn't wanna tell my friends because they'd make a big deal out of it. it wasn't a big deal, or so i thought. i get up to go to the bathroom and as i'm walking in, he stops me. "tara." he says. his deep voice penetrates my ears. "hi?" i say confused as i continue to walk into the bathroom.

i wanted to act like i didn't know him, just because i literally hate confrontation. i just couldn't believe this was happening. how is this even possible? he walks into the bathroom while i'm looking at myself in the mirror. "don't act like you don't know who i am." he says, angrily. "i have no idea what you're talking about. this is the girls' bathroom by the way." i respond. "i work here, i can go where i want." he responds. "listen, i don't know who you are or what you want, but i have a dinner to attend to." i say, walking out. i couldn't fall into his trap, but i'm afraid i already have.
