I was Mattia's best friend for over a year, the only difference was that I lived in South London; home to drugs, gangs and stabbings. I decided to run away from London to New Jersey with my best friend who was coincidentally best friends with Alejan...
I wake up to Mattia shaking me violently, I must of been in a deep sleep for him to be shaking me like I was fucking dead or something.
Mattia: You tryna be late for school?
You: Oh shit I forgot it was a school day
Mattia already looked like he had a shower so he went upstairs, I walked into the en-suite, turned the shower on and waited for it to heat up, I got in and let the hot water run down my body. I decided I would message my parents later just to double check they remembered me... The glass doors of the shower fogged up and I started to hear footsteps coming downstairs, I turn the shower off and put my towel on, luckily it was only Mattia so I carried on getting ready, I brush my teeth and get changed into my clean clothes.
Mattia: They doing breakfast at school today, you wanna have it there?
You: Yeah it saves time anyway
I touch up my edges and fix up my outfit, this is what I picked out:

I pack the lingerie in my backpack and we head upstairs and out the door, I didn't get to say bye to his parents before I left but I'm sure they wouldn't mind. We get into Mattia's car and I pull down the headboard and look at my face to make sure it's still 'clear'.
You: Can I tell you something?
Mattia: Yeah sure
You: You know Justin?
Mattia: What does he look like?
You: Blonde, he just looks like a typical white dude
Mattia: Oh yeah I think I know him
You: Guess what he did
Mattia: What
You: I got told to go to the councillors office but I didn't know where it was so the teacher told Justin to show me, he starts to lead me into the laundry room and then blackmails me saying that if I wouldn't kiss him he wouldn't take me to the councillors office
Mattia: Well what did you say?
You: I was like "bitch- I'll find the councillors office myself"
Mattia: Looks like we paying him a visit
You: We? I don't want you getting in trouble, period.
Mattia: You need to realise two things. One, if someone messes with you, they gonna pay. Two, Tiktok Mattia and real life Mattia are two different people.
You: Yeah I can tell... don't think you'd be flexing the 'gang life' for a Tiktok
We pull up to the school and Mattia looks for Justin, by the look in his eyes, something was gonna go down. I see Elexa and Alejandro and run up to them, they see Mattia walking up to Justin and run up the circle created by all the people watching, they all had their phones out ready to record, this was definitely gonna end up on Tiktokroom.
Justin: Can I help you?
Those four words triggered some kind of hidden fury in Mattia, he looks at his already bruised knuckles and pounds it into Justin's face, the whole crowd simultaneously gasped, signalling the fight to start, Justin gets up from the floor and punches Mattia in the stomach, winding him. Mattia bends down from the impact of the punch but gets up shortly after, I had never seen him so angry in his life, this is exactly why I didn't want to tell him. Mattia straightens himself and punches Justin right in the middle of his face, the crowd fell silent as we could all hear the cracks and crunches of Justin's nose breaking, Mattia punches him one more time near his eye and walks off leaving Justin on the cold, hard marble floor of the cafeteria with his nose pouring out blood. I spot Mattia brushing his bloody knuckles on his top, I run up to him and grab his hands.
You: Are you alright? You need to wash your hands
Mattia: I know.
I could tell he was still frustrated, I brush his hair from his face and lead him into the boys changing rooms, luckily the bell hadn't rung yet so there was no one there, I walk up to the mini fridge and pull out a bag of ice, I find a old cloth and wrap the bag of ice in it and apply it to Mattia's hands.
Mattia: I don't need this.
You: Do you want swollen hands? I don't think so.
He looks at me with a innocent smile which melted my heart, I kiss him on the cheek and wait for the bell to ring.
Mattia: You need to leave soon, the boys will be coming
You: Yeah I don't wanna be late for my lesson either
Mattia: I love youuuu
You: Ew
He looks at me confused, lowkey felt bad.
You: I. Love. You. Too
I say rolling my eyes. He looked so proud, I blow him a kiss and walk to my lesson, I had Maths with Mr. T which was a big pro, the only con was I had to sit next to egghead Alvaro, apparently he got banned from Snapchat for being too horny, what a surprise. I walk through the halls and upstairs into my Math class.
Mr.T: Hey T!
You: Ayeee Mr.T!
Mr. T had a massive black eye on his left side of his fa- oh shit. No way. Mr. T couldn't be the gang leader, could he? I mean he did suit the description, fat, white, massive black eye. I decided to act totally oblivious to my discovery to draw attention away from me.
You: Omg what happened to your eye?
Mr. T: ...I fell over...
I knew he was lying but if I called him out he'd know that I was one of the people robbing him, maybe Mattia giving the ski make to me was the right idea I just hope he didn't recognise Mattia's face. I sit down next to Aloe Vera and wait for him to start talking his shit.
Alvaro: Cynthia was talking about you...
You: What she say?
Alvaro: Something about you being a bad girlfriend and how your a pussy for not fighting her
You: Is she dumb? She was the one who walked off and snitched, pussy where?
Alvaro: I just thought I'd tell you
You: She was the same bitch who said the n word, right?
Alvaro: ... Yeah I was gonna tell you that, guess you already found out
