𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐢𝐭 ; Matt Sturniolo
this is my first time writing a wattpad story, please dont hate 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐧𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐬 𝐦𝐞 ; the fine line between love and hate. Y/N never thought she would end up working with Matt Sturniolo. Since they were kids, they never got along. Their moms are best friends, and that means Y/N always ends up stuck with Matt and his brothers, Nick and Chris, every time there's a family gathering. Matt is always annoying, always sarcastic, and always trying to get under Y/N's skin. She's the quiet one, focused on her studies, while Matt is the carefree, popular guy who barely cares about school. They've never understood each other, and Y/N doesn't think they ever will. But when they are forced to work together on a history project in school, things start to change. Matt doesn't care much about the project at first, leaving all the work to Y/N, but soon enough, she starts seeing a different side of him. And maybe, just maybe, Matt is starting to see her differently too. As they work together, small moments start to build between them. The sarcastic remarks turn into awkward silences, and the annoying teasing becomes something a little more... complicated. They clash, they argue, but somehow, they also start to understand each other. With a group project deadline looming, Y/N and Matt will have to decide whether they can put aside their differences. Can they actually work together, or is the tension between them just too much? And maybe the bigger question-could they possibly end up liking each other, despite everything they thought they knew? This is a slow-burn enemies-to-lovers story about growing up, understanding each other, and finding out that the person you thought you hated could turn out to be the one you need the most.Complete

For Him, I Stayed
Title: For Him, I Stayed Written by Sean - Photo not mine! Credits to the rightful owner! (This was originally named as "Love Her, Not Me") "He searched the world for love, never seeing it with him all along." Ray and Matthew met as freshmen in high school, instantly bonding over shared interests and a quiet understanding. Ray, the younger of two siblings, lived under the shadow of his older brother, Skyler, a well-liked, confident student who later pursued a medical career and married his high school sweetheart, Avilian. Matthew, in contrast, was an only child but had a sprawling network of cousins who filled his life with constant chaos and fun. During high school, Ray struggled with self-esteem. He was bullied for his appearance and withdrawn, relying on Matthew as a pillar of support. Despite Ray's insecurities, his gentle humor and genuine nature made him shine in Matthew's eyes, even if he didn't initially recognize the depth of Ray's affection. As they navigated high school, Ray secretly fell in love with Matthew, confessing his feelings not once, but three times, each time hoping for a different answer. Each rejection stung more deeply, eventually leading Ray to withdraw, hurt yet unable to forget. Now in their third year of college, Ray has grown from the insecure, pimpled high schooler into a confident young man with a striking new appearance. Meanwhile, Matthew, who once viewed Ray as just his best friend, finds himself missing the old closeness and wondering if he might have taken his friend's presence for granted. Caught between old heartbreak and new realizations, the pair stands on the edge of a shifting friendship that may yet bloom into something unexpected.

The Right Time (Matt Sturniolo)
Matt had been blowing you off for the past two weeks or so. Your best friend who you used to see every day had been ditching you and being secretive and you weren't sure why. You knew as much as his brothers did, that Matt had been hanging out with a few new friends. Well, it turns out a 'few new friends' was really one friend. And she didn't look like she was so much a friend. It all started when Matt posted on his Instagram story. **** This story is fictional and just for fun. It does not accurately reflect the way the triplets (or anyone else mentioned) behave, because I do not know them in real life. I talk about anxiety and panic attacks quite a bit. If that's not something you're comfortable reading about, skip over this story :) Some chapters are social media posts, the pictures mostly come from Pinterest or the triplets (CTO). honorary mentions: trevor zegras jack hughes & luke hughes potentially more, we'll see lol **** Matt Sturniolo x ReaderComplete
