Matthew is bold. Chloe is normal. The others are italics.

"She what?"

"She asked me out."

"When?"

"Like a few minutes ago. After I checked up on you guys she texted me and asked me out."

"What did you say?" 

"I said yes." Oh my god. Fuck. I fake a smile.

"That's great Matthew." I try to fake a smile but It probably doesn't look convincing.

"Are you okay?"

"Yes, I'm fine. Totally fine."

"Good. So what did you need to tell me?"

"It's nothing. I'm happy for you." I fake another smile.

"Thank you." I look at Melissa and Emma. They are both shocked. I sigh.

"Should we go out and hang out today?"

"Of course."

"Just give me a few minutes to change I don't feel like wearing sweatpants." He nods. I walk away from them and I walk into my room. I close the door.

I take a quick shower and I put my bra and underwear on and then I do my daily bathroom routine. I hear a knock on my door. I hope it's not Matthew or it would be awkward since I'm only in my bra and underwear. "Come in." I hear the door open then close. I walk out of my bathroom and it's Emma. She sits down at the end of my bed. 

"Are you okay Chloe?" I shrug as I walk to my closet. I look for a closet.

"I mean I did just lose Matthew to Vivian." I grab a random shirt and a random pair of jeaned shorts and my converse.

"I'm sorry Chloe." I sigh as I put my outfit on.

I sit on my bed and I start tying my shoes. "I'm just mad I was too late. I'm mad at myself for thinking I can have Matthew to myself. I'm mad I waited until the last minute to actually consider telling Matthew how I feel. I just feel so stupid." Emma puts her hand on my arm.

"It's okay Chloe. They probably won't last."

"It's not okay. I have had feelings for Matthew for more than a few months. Since he was dating Abigail I thought that if I got my mind off of him by dating Isiah my feelings would go away. But I feel like that made things worse." Emma bites her lips. "I wonder if after Matthew and Abigail broke up and I never met Isiah if we would end up dating then none of this would have happened."
