For Me ❦ || Mattia Polibio

y/n's pov

later that night...

there was this diner that i always go to because they had so many drinks and food on the menu. honestly it was like a cafe at the same time which made it even better. a month ago, i decided that i was going to try every drink/food that they served here. (hehe inspired by thirteen reasons why)

once i push the door open, the top hit the bell, signaling that someone walked in. i immediately noticed mattia and some girl sitting at the bar-like table sharing a milkshake.

"y/n, i was expecting you," james, the owner of the dinner said. "so what're we trying tonight." as soon as he said my name, mattia turned his head and looked at me.

i ignore him and scan the menu. "hmm... how's the grilled chicken salad?"

"now why would you ask that? you know everything here is good," he glares at me jokingly. "and for your drink?"

"get me a hot chocolate please?"

"extra marshmallows?"

i smile. "extra marshhmallows." james walks away and starts on my order. he likes making it personally so that he can make sure it's made perfectly.

"so i see they just let trash in here now," said mattia.

i look to the left. "well clearly if you're sitting in here," i snap back. "what is this? like.. girl 76?"

"i'm guessing you're on boy number 0 cause you can't pull any."

"you're acting like your best friend didn't simp for me the entire sophomore year," i roll my eyes.

"how'd you know about that?" mattia asks. "did kairi tell you?"

"i didn't know." i smirk. "you just confirmed it for me."

"fuck," he mumbles.

"go pay attention to your next project," i say, referring to the girl.

"what'd you just call me?" she questions.

"hey ignore her." mattia tries calming her down by rubbing her arm, making her smile cluelessly.

"here's your hot chocolate," james walks up to the counter and slides it to me. "salad should be ready soon."

"take your time," i tell him as i lean on the counter.

"so you come here too?" a male voice said coming from my left.

"kaden," i stand up straight. "yeah i try to come as often as i can. my goal is to try every food and drink on the menu."

when i heard y/n say that i smile a little bit, it was kinda cute that she kept herself busy like that.

"well that's a cute way to keep yourself busy," said kaden, basically reading my thoughts.

"well james' diner is the best of the best," she says.

"that's right," james shouts as he hands her the chicken salad in a to go box. "you sure you don't wanna eat here?"

"yeah i mean you can join me if you want," kaden offers.

"i don't know.." y/n hesitates. "i kinda wanna go home and just lay in bed while drinking my hot chocolate."

"sounds like you have your night planned," kaden chuckles. this man is trying too hard. "maybe next time? have you tried the onion rings?"

"no i don't think i have," she shakes her head.

"well when you come here again, i'll try it with you."

"yeah i'm down," she smiles. kaden nods and walks to the other side of the diner.

"he's just trying to get in your pants," i tell her. "you're making it too easy."

"isn't that your type though? easy girls." y/n drinks her hot chocolate but got a little whip cream on her upper lip.

i try not to smile and keep an annoyed face. "you got a little something there." i point.

she uses her tongue and licks it off, not caring if she looked stupid or not. every girl i go out with always try so hard to look good all the time.

"are you calling me easy?" the girl i was with said. (i'm not naming them cause they don't play a huge role)

"give it a day sweetheart," y/n states. "he'll break your heart and you'll be posting on your private story about how much you thought he liked you."

"you're just mad that'd he never go for someone like you."

"yes because mattia only likes easy girls, as i said," y/n replied. "anyway, i need to get home and enjoy my hot chocolate an chicken salad. have fun getting your heart broken. bye james!"

"bye y/n, drive safe," he shouts from the kitchen.

she doesn't say anything to me and walks happily out the door with her food.

"let's get out here," says the girl.

"sure, your place?"
