later that night somehow me and chris found ourselves in his room getting snacks to watch netflix, and nick on facetime with a friend of his, when we were setting up chris told me to pose for a photo so i did as told and then he put his phone away and we watched outerbanks because chris said he never has watched it before so i rewatched it for him until i fell asleep in the middle of it.

the next morning i woke u too my alarm at 7 and saw i was still at chris' so i got up and got my keys then i went home and left a note in chris' forehead for him saying that i left to get ready for school and that i would see him soon.

i went to the gym in a bra and spandex since i didn't have a shirt and i always kept spandex in my car, so i went and guess who was there again? matt. this time he wasn't where i needed to go so i walked the other way away from him, put my airpods in, and started to work out.

' hey pretty lady ' i heard someone call out about 10 minutes into my workout

' hey ' i took out my airpods

' what's a girl like you doing alone in a gym dressed like that? ' he asks as he steps closer to me

' working out ' i plaster a fake smile as i begin to back away from the guy

' how would u like to come home with me? buy you a few drinks ' he smirks

' i don't drink, and no ' i say sternly still backing up as he gets closer

' hey babe, this guy bothering you? ' i feel a pair of arms wrap around my waist and a chin on my shoulder, by the voice i immediately knew who it was.

' hey, babe. ' i cringed

' oh so your not alone? ' the guy asks

' no, so move it ' matt says from behind me

as the guy starts to walk away a slap matt off of my waist

' what was that?! ' i ask turning to face the boy

' don't u mean thank u? ' matt questions

' yes thank u, but keep ur hands off me ur just as bad as him ' i roll my eyes

' ur welcome sweetheart, but how else would he go away idiot?v' matt asks

' idk maybe if u just said u were my boyfriend? ' i state the obvious

' okay sorry for helping you out ' he raises his hands in defense as he backs away

i let out a laugh, which wasn't uncommon but it was so weird that it was a genuine laugh but i decides to just brush it off and finish my workout session and then decide to go home and make a strawberry smoothie since it was already 8 and i had to leave in 30, i got in the shower and took as little time as possible and changed then i had to go, i drank my soothe and did my makeup in the car

' chris hi! ' i jumped into the boys arms as soon as I saw him

' hi soph ' he smiles

' hi nick i missed you yesterday! ' i break thr hug with chris and throw myself into his arms aswell

' hi soph! i saw you last night though ' nick laughs and hugs me back

' still ' i break the hug

' i missed you ' i laugh

' hey sophie your welcome for this morning ' matt spoke up from beside chris

' yea, thanks ' i gave him a fake smile which earned me an eye roll

' by the way we have to work on that project today after school ' matt said

' sure thing, cmon chris we gotta go ' i pull chris towards english

' so what happened this morning? ' chris asked with a smirk

' ew shut up ' i laugh and push him a bit

' no seriously though what did happen? ' he asks dropping the smirk into a smile

' at the gym a boy kept getting closer to me asking me weird stuff calling me pretty and matt just got him to go away ' i explained not wanting to explain the part of matt pretneding to be my bf or putting his hands on me

' awww ' chris rubbed my shoulders

' ew get off ' i push his hands off and laugh

' cmon u and matt have to at least try to be friends, for me? ' chris asks with a fake pout

' whatever christopher ' i playfully rolled my eyes as we walked through the 1st period doors

' seriously though i cant take you two fighting anymore ' chris begs

' yea i know, i try not to fight with him but he's just such a bitch ' i laugh

' yea whatever ' chris rolls his eyes and then the bell rings to start class

* after first period *

' nick! ' i ran up to him and gave him a hug

' hi soph ' he laughs and hugs back

' how are u such a happy person? ' matt asks from beside nick as i break the hug

' idk maybe because I love my friends ' i roll my eyes in a sort of playful manner

' u sure that's all that's made u happy today? ' matt asks

' what are u getting at? ' i ask

' nothin ' he smiles innocently

' oh my god no! ' i exclaim getting what he's hinting at

' just askin ' he raises his hands in defense

' whatever dude ' i shove him lightly as me and nick walk to second period

' was that about this morning? i begged matt to tell me and he did ' nick explains

' yea, weird asf ' i shrug

' yea, anyways what did we do in chem yesterday? ' nick asks

' idk me and madison talked all hour and almost got sent out ' i shrug

' oh i love u thank u for paying attention just fir me ' nick jokes

' love u too ' i smile at him innocently

' it's fine we probably didnt even do anything anyway ' nick shrugs

' probably not honestly ' i add as we walk through the doors and too our seats right as the bell rings

' ur lucky u made it just in time sophia your on my watchlist after yesterday ' the teacher says

' ok noted watch out for the creepy chem teacher everywhere i go ' i reply making everyone laugh

' ive had it up to here with u ' the teacher points up with his fingers

' okay ' i shrug as i sit down

' okay class settle down, so today we have an exam prep sheet, we are going to take an exam in 2 days so this is a practice sheet / study guide to help you ' the chem teacher explains

' oh great 'I roll my eyes

' what was that? ' the teacher asks

' i said oh great ' i speak louder

' ill choose to ignore that one, next outburst and you get sent out ' the teacher says

' k cool ' i shrug

* skip to after that hour bc me and nick just talked and took notes the whole hour *

' hi chris! ' i say to the boy

' hey soph and nick ' he smiles  

' im so not excited to take notes the whole hour next hour, we just did that in chem ' i roll my eyes dramatically

' aw love u too soph ' matt rolls his eyes

' oh sorry, aw hi matty boy ' i say in a jokingly tone

' hi sophia' he says in the same tone

' anyways ' i roll my eyes

' chris u have to be my lifesaver next hour because im gonna DIE ' i exclaim the die part

' i lived through it just fine ' matt shrugs

' me too ' nick adds

' shut up both of u please and let me be dramatic ' i fake fall into chris' arms

' what if i dropped u ' chris asks

' dont' i yell and get up quickly

' relax i wasn't going to ' he laughs

' yea whatever ' i roll my eyes

' alright we have to go to math now, see you guys later ' chris says while he grabs my hand and pulls me to the hallway math is

' bye nick! ' i shout

' bye soph! ' he shouts

' what the hell chris i didn't get to say bye to nick! ' i complain

' u just did ' he rolls his eyes playfully

' shut up you know what i mean ' i laugh

' yea but we're gonna be late ' he says

' oh shit really? ' i ask

' yea ' he laughs

' oh okay then let's go stupid ' i start to run down the hallway hand in hand with chris

' slow down! ' he laughs

' not yet ' i laugh along

we run down the hallways like toddlers giggling until we turn to the math hallway then i stop running and drop his hand and we walk into the doors and sit down and right as we sit down the bell rings

' perfect timing ' i laugh

' no shit, thanks to me ' chris smiles

' no. thanks to me, you wouldn't have ran and we would have been late ' i roll my eyes playful

' yea yea whatever ' he rolls his eyes w a smile

' okay class get your notebooks and turn to page 84 so we can get started ' the math teacher says as he gets up

' today is going to be a bit different, i put the notes online because ive noticed a lot of people are failing this class so im going to hand out an assignment and you have to use the notes to help u figure out the answer, it's not very easy but u can work with partners ' the teacher explains

' aw good chris ur failing ' i joke

' shut up im not ' he rolls his eyes playfully

' uh huh ' i smile

' yes u can ' the teacher confirms

' okay ' she smiles

' aw good u can help me not fail since your just sooo smart ' chris jokes

' yea yea whatever shut up ' i laugh

' okay get to work guys ' the teacher says noticing a lot of people just talking

' can we just do this later? ' i ask chris

' ew i forgot about that ' i roll my eyes

' you'll be okay ' he laughs

' okay whatever let's just work on this for a little bit ' i say pulling out my computer

we work on it for about half of the class and we only have 15 more slides out of the 45 that we were assigned

' hell yea good work today ' i smile

' shut up ' he lightly slaps my arm and laughs

' what should we talk about now? ' i ask

' what happened this morning ' chris says

' what do u mean? ' i ask

' why didn't you tell me the full story? ' chris asks

' because why do u need to know matt had his arms around my waist and pretended to be my bf? your just gonna make a big deal ' i say

' because ur my bestfriend! ur supposed to tell me these things! ' he says

' i know im sorry it's just embarrassing because i literally hate him. ' i roll my eyes

' yea yea i know but just saying i don't think matt hates u very much ' he winks at me

' ew shut up chris ' i roll my eyes with a smile

' you like him too dont u? ' he asks

' no. i don't to be honest im still mad about what he did, kinda. i mean i got over it but he's been so mean and he has no right, so that's why i still hate him. ' i explain

' oh yea i get it thanks for telling me though ' chris smiles

' of course ' i smile as chris goes on his phone

MATT POV:

' okay nick read these texts he told mewhy sophia still hates me ' i explain

nick takes my phone and reads them

' so that's it? great just be nicer to her and then all the tension is gone ' nick shrugs

' yea i know but it's not that easy ' i explain

' what do u mean? ' nick asks me

' okay look u cannot tell ANYONE this okay? ' i empathize the anyone

' okay i wont, what is it? ' nick asks looking almost hopeful

' i don't know what's going on with me but it's just like she gets prettier everyday and it's honestly hard to be around her and be so mean, it's because I don't hate her, I never really did I was just mad because I thought she still hated me from what happened in middle school ' i confess

' so u do like her? ' nick asks with a smile

' no, i dont think so. plus we don't talk at all. i just think this is me realizing i don't hate her anymore so i don't think just badly about her i think some good is popping up now that i don't hate her, idk i need time to just figure it all out because i don't even know what I think about her myself  ' I explain

' that's fine, ill give u time but im glad that you two are gonna hopefully get better ' nick smiles

' thank u nick ' i smile

' of course matt ' he smiles back

sophia pov:

' who are you texting? ' i ask

' no one just nick ' chris smiles

' oh okay ' i smile back

' oh shit class is almost over ' chris says looking at the clock

' oh yea it is let's pack up now ' i say

' so are u excited to go work on that project with matt? ' chris asks jokingly

' not at fucking all ' i groan

' of course just for u ' i smile

        * skip to when the bell rings *

' hey nick ' i smile at him

' hi soph' he smiles back

' hey matt ' i say to the boy

' hey ' he responds with a smile.

' okay im gonna go meet up with julia ' i inform the three boys infront of me

' okay have fun ' chris winks

' have a blast sweetie ' matt shouts

' guys shut up! ' i shout to them and blush out of embarrassment bc people are all around us

' we love u so much pook! ' chris shouts jokingly

' ew shut up! ' i shout and began to walk faster

i see julia laughing at me so i flip her off and laugh as I walk up to her

' julia there so mean to me ' i hug her tightly

' aw i know it's ok sweetie ' she jokes as she strokes my hair

' shut up omg ' i let go and laugh

' hey lucas ' i dab him up

' sup ' he says

' since u two are gonna flirt more than ever lucas sit in the left or right side idc, julia sits in the middle and i sit on the other end ' i say

' okay but we talked ab it and we aren't going to do it infront of u, we didn't realize we were bc we weren't dating but we won't anymore ' julia informs me with a smile

' okay ' i smile as we all begin walking to class

we all get to class and sit down, the hour is pretty boring and btw they lied they flirted the whole damn hour which is why im not saying much ab this hour it was so boring to sit through and all we did was take a test in spanish about spanish stuff yk?

* skip to after this hour *

' nick im gonna die ' i fall into his arms

' was it that bad? ' chris asks

' yes!! ' i exclaim as nick lifts me up and out of his arms

' flirting or the test? ' matt asks

' both oh my god! ' i groan

' just asking ' he raises his hands in defense

' no like ' oh my god ' in both of them were so fucking miserable ' i complain

' gotcha ' he shrugs

' atleast the days almost over ' chris says throwing his arm around my shoulder

' no. it's not actually because i have to do that stupid ass project and then we have to finish that shit we were to lazy to do ' i groan

' oh yeaa have fun ' chris laughs sarcastically

' no u have fun because im making u do that whole thing ' i roll my eyes

' i am not ' chris argues

' oh u so are ' i laugh

' i am not ' chris argues back

' we'll see ab that one cmon matt ur class is right next to mine right? walk w me? ' i ask, idk why i asked but i rlly took what chris said into consideration so i figured might as well get along with the boy

' uh yea sure ' he says

' okay bye guys ' i brush chris' arm off me and start to walk away and matt catches up

' why did u wanna walk with me? ' he asks

' well, i talked with chris a bit and he said that we should get along just for his sake and plus i don't actually hate u, i just hate that your still mean to me ' i shrug

' oh, if im gonna be honest i don't really hate you either i just hates that you were still mad over what i did in middle school, atleast i thought u were ' he explains

' how do u know im not? ' i ask in confusing bc i never really told him that i wasn't

he goes silent

' chris told u didn't he? ' i ask

' uhh yea but he told me not to tell you that he did ' matt confesses

' oh okay ' i respond

' yea but he'll get over it ' matt shrugs

' well bye i gotta go now ' I smile

' bye ' he smiles back and then i walk into the classroom and see julia already there

' what took u so long? and was that matt i saw you walking with? ' she smirks

' ew fuck you, and yes it was chris is making us get along for his sake ' i roll my eyes

' do u like him now? like as a friend? ' julia asks as i sit down next to her

' it was just communication issues, youll get over it ' she shrugs

' yea im gonna have to we have to work on that stupid project after school ' i groan

' oh yeaaa have funnn ' she smiles

' aw i will thank u sweetie ' i say sarcastically and then the bell rings
