summertime - mattia polibio

chapter 1

ava's pov

7:25am i read on my alarm clock.
"fuck" i think to myself.
another boring day of school.
it's 2 weeks until summer which i'm really excited about.
i eventually get out of my bed, looking for an outfit.

notification - text from: audrey brookes

aubrey💖

hey, will you be ready for 8:30?
i'm picking you up.
yeah, see you then
cya
read 7:28am

i wear jeans and a fluffy cropped jacket.

it's basic, i know.
but it'll do.

i curled my hair then put my usual everyday makeup on.

8:28am i read on my phone.
i walk outside waiting on my best friend aubrey to come pick me up.

she pulls up.
wearing black jeans and a grey jumper.

i enter her car with a smile on my face.
"hey bitch" i say.
"heyyyy" she replies, reaching over to hug me.

we drive to school while listening to don toliver.

sooner or later we pull up to school, getting out of the car.
walking through the large school doors, complete chatter from the students in the hallway.
we walk to our lockers which are right beside each other.
i put all my things in accept from my books for the next class, first period was english.

"ava" aubrey nudges me indicating me to turn around.
i turn my head to see the one and only,
mattia polibio.
fuck off.
i'll admit, he's hot.
like really hot, his black fluffy hair and his cheeky smirk will sweep you right off your feet.
but he's an asshole.

no, he's not really a 'fuck boy'
well i wouldn't know, i've never talked to him like that.
so i guess i'll never know.
he's just an ass.
he'll walk around this school thinking he leads it then acts clueless when you pull him up about something.
and his friends are there to back him up.

his friends are okay tho, especially kairi and alejandro.
they haven't ever done anything to me, they don't say anything nasty to me.
they know better.

mattia walks by playing with his black fully hair,
him walking so smoothly.
and his friends just following behind him.
he just laughs along with whatever his friends are saying.
he looks over to me, still smiling from the past joke roshaun clearly made.

he clenches his jaw, still looking at me.
then eventually turning his head.

holy shit.

"take a picture it'll last longer." aubrey whispered in my ear, snapping me out of my thoughts.
"shut the fuck up." i laugh while punching her in the arm, not too hard.

the bell rings, signalling us all to go to class.

i wave 'bye' to my best friend as she walks away to go to her class.

class ends

english isn't my favourite subject, but it's not that bad.
i walk to go find aubrey.
found her.
we walk to gym class together.

we get changed into our shorts and top because we're doing track today.

we both wear an almost matching shorts and crop top.

we both put our hair into a ponytail.

we laugh at each other as we walk out the gym hall doors, out to the running track.

all the boys are gathered round the middle grass pitch, doing soccer.

coach blows the whistle, meaning for us to start running.

aubrey and i run beside each other, as always.
someone catches my eye as they whistle.

alejandro.

he's waving at aubrey, i smile and wave at him aswell and he waves back.

coach then shouts at him to go back to the field, audrey and i both giggle and his face goes bright red.

we run around the track a few times, my hearts beating out of my chest.
i grab my water bottle drinking my water, audrey does the same.
i look over to the field to see mattia staring.
his hands on his hips, his hair stuck to his forehead with sweat.
i look away as i notice myself staring back.

aubrey winks at me.

class ends and we go get changed.

skip to end of the day, ava is back home.

i go upstairs and sit on my bed.
turning my led lights on hot pink.
i get changed into something comfier.

i go on snapchat to see i have a snap from mattia.
i open it.

"streaks"

i find that weird since he's never sent me streaks before.
but he looked really hot.
i'm bored so i snapback just a picture of my face.
he replies almost straight away.
we snap for a while.
"wyd?" he says.
"nothing, wbu?" i ask.
"nothing, bored as shittt" he replies.
"samee" i say.
"yo we should hang out sometime" he exclaims.
"sure" i say back.
holy shit
"sounds good, well i'll ttyl ava." he replies.
"yeah, ttyl mattia"

end of conversation.
