1980's / mattia polibio

.15

I woke up but this time no alarm. I didn't wake up at my usual time, rather at 10. The boys and I aren't playing today because it's the Fourth of July! We decide to put off playing for the holidays. I was very excited for today especially because I can put work into how I look for once . I set out an outfit. This time it wasn't the same of baggy clothes and converse. I had a tight red shirt on with dark blue skinny jeans that gripped my waist. I had matching red vans that were brand new and never worn. I curled my long brunette hair and combed through it to make it look more natural. Then I threw on a blue headband and pulled out a few strings from the headband to the front. I fixed up a little makeup and checked myself in the mirror. I'll admit, I look fire😏. I walked out to the living room and it was now 11:45. My parents were running in and out of the house with tons of food dishes. The neighborhood set up tons of tables and chairs decorated with fourth of July decor. Everyone in the neighborhood brought some type of food to lay out on the tables for everyone to eat. I walked out and took in the view. Seeing everyone gather together was a great start to my day. I looked around and finally found the boys. I ran over to them and greeted them all. Once I arrived all the boys started whistling and complimenting me at once. I laughed it off and punched some of them in the shoulder. I looked over to a pair of eyes that were staring at me. It was Mattia. As soon as we made eye contact he looked down at the floor embarrassed. I slightly smiled while the boys were all getting up to eat. We all sat at a random table, talking and laughing with each other. It was honestly perfect. Soon it was getting dark so we all through out trash away and went to our houses to set a few small fireworks off with our family before 8.
Once my parents and I were done with the fireworks, I asked for the time and they said it was 7:52. I nodded and kissed them both of the check telling them I'll be back tonight. I ran off to the sandlot where the boys were waiting. They all had chairs laid out next to each other and blankets on the floor.
The big show started at 8 so we had about 5 minutes to get everyone's seat sorted out. The boys were whispering to each other and they started to quietly laughed. Once I turned to look at them they all bolted and grabbed all the seats. Mattia slowly walked over and sat on a blanket unaware of what the boys were clearly doing. They took up all the chairs and blankets except for the spot next to Mattia. I mean ain't no complaints. I was kinda nervous considering our last encounter but I sat next to him on the blanket anyway. He turned to see who it was and realizing it was me he slightly smiled. That's good right.
"You look really pretty" he commented and smirked.
"Thank you" I replied.
I guess he decided to be nice to me tonight.
The blanket wasn't exactly big so we were close enough to where our legs were touching. I don't mind though, it's normal. The fireworks then started to go off. They were huge and beautiful. I was staring at the sky mesmerized when I felt skin brush up against my hand. I looked down and saw Mattia starting to connect his fingers with mine. I followed and soon enough we were holding hands. I smiled and leaned my head against his shoulder still looking up at the night sky. Once this happened the boys started to cheer. I didn't turn around or move my comfortable head, rather I stuck my available middle finger into the air towards them.
The show was coming to an end and the fireworks started to die out. All the boys packed up the chairs and brought them back to their houses leaving me and Mattia on blanket duty. We packed up the little blankets and started to walk. Once we got into the neighborhood he grabbed the blankets from me and said he'll put them away.
"Okay so um- I'll see you tomorrow?" I stated.
"yeah" he simply replied and walked away like nothing happened tonight.
I decided to look at the positives.
-hand holding
-head on shoulder
That's a start. I just need to figure out the part when he ignores me and roles his eyes. I overall said today was a really good day and headed home. I took a quick shower and throw myself onto my bed. The second I hit my pillow I was out.
