Recap- Nathalie was texting Mattia on her way to tell him something under the bleacher when she was pulled into the janitors closet

Nathalie: what th-

Nathalie: oh it's just you what do you want

Alejandro: dang mamas I just wanna talk why so rude

Nathalie: wow you wanna talk but you still have the audacity to ask ME why I'm so rude-you know what this isn't even worth it I need to meet with Mattia
She says as she tries to walk about but Alejandro grabs her wrist preventing her from walking out. She scoffs at the his actions but decides to let him talk.

Nathalie: honestly this better be good I'm giving you three minutes and I'll tell Mattia I stopped at the bathroom real quick

Alejandro: thanks nat I promise you it won't be a waist of time

Nathalie: it better not be
She says as she puts a two minute timer on her phone

Alejandro: listen nat I don't nesscarily know how to say this and not do I think it's the time or the place so let's just say I've always felt a certain type of way when I'm around you, I guess you could say I'm happier when I'm around you but it's fine because I know we've always been best friends and nothing more since u obviously don't feel the same

Nathalie: wow 😳 - I never knew you felt that way and I can't really say anything right now because I need to do something first but let's just say it'll pay off in the long run

And with that being said Nathalie left the closet leaving the boy speechless. Now she was on her way to meet Mattia under the bleacher now that she was done "using the bathroom". Part of her felt bad and wanted to go back and pour out every emotion she had ever felt, but the other half was telling her not to. That she would be in a situation that would result in her loosing Alejandro forever. While she was nearing the bleachers she saw Mattia and her heart began racing as if this was her first time meeting him. why was the question though. Di- did she like him. No she couldn't it would completely ruin the plan if she did. But before she could continue her train of thoughts she had approached Mattia   When he realized that she was there he turned off his phone before facing her and giving her a small smile, which Nathalie of course returned.

Mattia: so what's up shorty

Nathalie: Mattia lately- it just lately you've been a lot more flirty and I just wanted to know why she lied to the boy
Mattia let out a heavy sigh as he knew he also had to tell the girl the truth.

Mattia: listen nat if  I tell you the reason you have to promise to not get mad or say anything to the person

Nathalie: promise

Mattia: ok- so I guess the reason I've been so flirty lately is because I like someone

Nathalie: and that someone isssss

Mattia: it's nessa but you have to promise to not saying anything

Nathalie: ok ok I won't say anything but if you like nessa then why are you flirting with me you're only making her think you like me

Mattia: that's kinda the point see I wanna make her jealous sooooo

Nathalie: ohhhh ok so you won't have a problem with my plan

Mattia: what plan

Nathalie: ok so if you like nessa and I like someone else how about we "date" to make them jealous

Mattia: shorty I think that is the smartes thing you have ever come up with

Nathalie: Matilda don't test me I will throw hands and tell nessa

Mattia: ok ok I'm sorry but if I'm going along with this plan I needa know who this mystery guy is

Nathalie: seee about that I don't really want anyone knowing, nessa doesn't even know yet

Mattia: well then I guess we gotta say goodbye to your plan
He says as he starts to walk off slowly. Only to be pulled back

Nathalie: no Matilda please

Mattia: not until you tell me

Nathalie: fine it's alejdbdbb

Mattia: I'm sorry I couldn't hear that I'd be better off just going to class now

Nathalie: fine god you're so annoying it's Alejandro

Mattia: yeah I knew I just kinda wanted to hear you say it

Nathalie: Matilda I swear to god if you say anything to him

Mattia: Nathalie calm down I won't say anything but before we starting acting like we're dating we need a plan

Nathalie: agreed but it's pretty simple we just act all lovey dovey like we were this morning and then-(sorry can't be giving away my chapters like that)

As they converse about what they are going to do to make Nessa and Alejandro jealous the bell finally rings signifying the day has ended.

Mattia: you ready fake not bae
He says as he extends him hand for Nathalie to grab

Nathalie: I was born ready- she said as she takes his hand

As they went inside many heads were turned but people were mainly focused on leaving the school. They soon met up with all their friends at the front of the school. As they approached all of their friends heads turned and made faces 😳😏😘 except for two people. Nessa and Alejandro. This had been the first time Nathalie had noticed her best friends actions towards Mattia. But as much as Nathalie loved her besti she had to go along with the plan and if nessa did like Mattia then lucky for her because Matilda was head over heels for that girl. Both nessa and Alejandro were slightly awkward with their arms crossed and faces like 😕. As they didn't want to make a scene but couldn't help how they both felt. Alejandro soon noticed that Nathalie kept shooting small glances his way until he realized.

Authors note: sooooo how was today's chapter. I hope it was good and u enjoyed, anyways just wanted to clarify that I decided Mattia and Nathalie aren't actually going to be dating but just "talking" I guess because I feel like if she dated him I would consider that homie hopping.
