Matthia Lee has been your best friend since you have been in diapers. You're finally in high school, when the both of you have slowly figured out the feelings you have for one another. But Matthia already has a girlfriend, and she really doesn't lik...

Little did I know that his girlfriend would soon try to take measures to get rid of this little "nuisance," to try and have Matthia all to herself.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After school ended, I texted Matthia to wait for me in his car, so I could catch a ride home with him. I paid a visit to my locker, stuffing binders and notebooks into the small space. Closing the locker, I zipped up my bag and swung it around to my back. Humming, I walk to the school's parking lot and search for the place that Matthia parked.
I saw him leaning against the passenger seat door, with his sunglasses on, sleeves pushed up his arms and fluffy hair tucked into his hood.
Wow, he looks kinda hot like that... what am I thinking? He's my best friend and he has a girlfriend...
I smack myself internally, walking up to the car, I greet Matthia. Looking around, I notice that Madison isn't there.
"Huh? Where's Madison?" I asked, totally confused. She's always clinging on to him. How come she's not here?
"She said something came up at home and left early."
"Oh?"
Well that's suspicious, she never leaves early or has excuses like that. She's done everything she could in order to keep Matthia and I away from each other.
Just as I think that, I hear Matthia's phone ring. He looks at the name and walks to the side. Seems like Madison is calling him. He always walks away when he's on the phone with her. I still don't get it to this day. He walks back after ending the call.
"Who was it?"
"Madison. She said she won't be able to meet up this weekend."
That raises my suspicions ten times more. What's up with her? Yeah, she goes to parties and everything, but this has never happened before. This works out for me though. Since she's not here, maybe we can hang out and make up for the time we missed together because of her.
"Well..since she's not going to be here, do you want to go to the movies?"
"Sure, why not? What movie do you wanna watch?"
"Anything."
"Let's go then."
We both climb into the car and put on our belts. Matthia rushes out of the parking lot and drives at high speed. Hanging onto the seat for dear life, I yell at him to slow down. He just laughs and continues going.
After five minutes of torture and screaming, we reach the movie theater. Getting out of the car with a feeling of throwing up and ragged breathing, I wait for Matthia to lock the car. Once he's done, we walk inside. By then, I'm calm again and not breathing hard or nauseous anymore.
"So... which movie do you want to watch?" Matthia asks as we get in line.
"Let's watch a horror one."
Horror has always been a genre we watched together. The good memories of childhood. I remember the first time we watched a horror movie. We were both screaming our lungs out but still watching. I guess we built up a resistance to watching them.
"Ok, you go get the snacks. I'll get the tickets." Matthia says.
"The usual?"
"Of course."
I walk up to the snack line, watching how girls are whispering about how hot Matthia is. By now, it's not even surprising. Girls are always swooning over him. Too bad he already has a girlfriend. Matthia doesn't notice any of the girls. He's always completely absorbed in his phone or in the person talking to him to notice what's going on around him.
Looking at the ticket counter, I realize the worker is a teen girl. Well, here it goes again, watching this is always amusing. I watch as they talk. The girl passes him the tickets and he's about to leave, but she starts saying something. Clearly knowing what she's saying, I silently start laughing. Somehow, Matthia knows I'm laughing, he turns around and gives me a small glare. I was right. The girl asked for his number. Like all the other desperate girls.
"Hey are you going to go or not?" I hear from behind me.
Realizing it's my turn in line, I walk up to the counter to order our usual, one extra large buttery popcorn and two sodas. I wait at the side for the order.
I hear Matthia walk up behind me and my body starts feeling really weird.
What's been going on with me these days? This is seriously not normal. Get it together Y/N, he's your best friend, you can't have a crush on him. He has a girlfriend anyways, so you can't do anything.
Turning around, I get startled at how close he is. My face instantly heats up.
Oh for god's sake, why now of all times?
"Are you ok? Your face is all red." Matthia asks worriedly.
"Huh- uh yeah I'm fine.." I respond, all flustered.
"What is going in that brain of yours? You're such a weirdo."
"Wha- what the heck I wasn't thinking anything!"
"Yeah sure, Y/N. I've known you my whole life. You're obviously thinking about something weird."
OHMYGOSH THIS IS SO EMBARRASSING. What do I do now?? I can't just say I'm thinking about him...
The theatre staff calls out our order and I immediately turn around to go get it.
Oh thank god, that was the most awkward thing ever, I don't know what I would've said if our order hadn't been ready.
Grabbing the handful of things, I walk up to Matthia again. He grabs his drink and we go to sit in our seats since the movie was about to start. It's a new horror movie. Everyone says it's pretty scary, guess we'll find out today.
AFTER THE MOVIE
"Man, I was looking forward to this one being scary as hell. Everyone was just exaggerating." Matthia says as we exit the theater.
Damn, my eyes were burning from suddenly walking out into the sunlight. I start rubbing them and Matthia grabs my hands to stop me.
"That's going to make your eyes hurt more. Leave them alone for a bit."
Opening my eyes I see how close he is. My heart starts beating like crazy.
Jeez...again? What do I do? I think I'm falling for him...
