"Mattia!" I heard Alejandro yell as I got to the bus stop, "Whatsup." I nodded my head at him, "Hey, you good?" he asked, I nodded as I took my headphones out and put them in my pocket. "Have you talked to Kairi?" He asked. "No, and I won't," I replied to him. "So......you know what happened?" I asked, Alejandro, looked up at me and nodded. "How long?" I questioned as I looked back over at him. "Uh...a while, I guess." He mumbled with a shrug, "Why didn't you tell me?" I asked, obviously if Ale has known for a while, the right thing to do was tell me.

"It's not my place. It's Kairi's job to tell you, not mine. And even if Kairi told me that I could tell, I wouldn't." He said. And I nodded. "But...I know that your angry and embarrassed and everything because Kairi kissed you...and everything, but...you should at least let him talk to you. Because he cares about you, and I know damn well that you care about him too......you love him Mattia, maybe not the same way he loves you. But at least let him explain. But if your not ready yet, then just ignore him, but you're ignoring him for a good reason." Ale told me.

I closed my locker then picked up my book bag and swung it over my back, I walked over to Roshaun's locker, leaning on his back, "Is there a reason you're leaning on me?" Ro asked.

"Just bored, and wanna lay here." I replied, "Well, I gotta get to class, find somewhere else to lay Kai." he said, I stood up straight then watch Roshaun walk off to his class. I groaned then leaned on his locker, I wanna go home already and the day just started.

"Hey, Kai," Ale said as he sat down next to me, I said a quick hi. "Mattia's here today." He told me, I almost snapped my neck at how fast I turned my neck to look at him, "He is?" I asked, Ale, nodded, "His bus just got here." He told me.

I watched as Mattia walked in, but he didn't even look at me...

"Do you think he'll walk me to Language Arts today?" I asked, looking over at Ale, "Don't bet on it Kairi." He told me.

Mattia hasn't talked to me at all today, barely even acknowledged that I was there. I went to Spanish, and my excitement to see Mattia was an understatement. I walked into class to see him sitting at our usual seat.

After I sat down. He shifted a bit and grabbed his pencil, writing down the notes on the board.

"Are you ready to talk to me?" I asked, he turned his head. "Please Tia?" I asked, "C'mon..." I whined as I grabbed onto his arm and started shaking it. "Okay...I know...I fucked it up, I mess everything up, I'm a mistake, you can hate me all you want. You can cuss at me, you can hit me, you can hate me for the rest of your entire life.....but please...at least let me explain." I begged.

I could feel the tears prickling at the corner of my eyes when Mattia didn't even make a reaction. I let go of his arm and lowered my head as I scrounged through my bag for my Spanish notebook, I took it out, and wrote the notes that were up on the board.

"Kairi, Kairi!" I heard a yell, I woke up immediately. Looking around and seeing an empty classroom. "Mr. Cosentino. You fell asleep," Señora Allen told me.

I sat up, wiping my damp eyes and apologizing quietly. I can't believe I fell asleep and missed the entire class...

I didn't even realize that I was so tired, but I think the part I'm most upset about is that when the bell rang, Mattia didn't wake me up. No one did.

"You'll have to come in at the end of the day and get the notes, okay?" she asked, and I nodded. Standing up and grabbing my bag from the floor, putting my notebook in the back pocket. "Kairi." Señora Allen said
