as me and matt walk into nike i can't help but wonder why he's been so close to me recently, i mean i know we're friends now but i feel like he's getting a little closer to me than a friend should but that's coming from a person who was holding hands with her best friend running down the street to a beach, so who knows

' sophhh?? ' matt waves a hand infront of my face

' huh yea? ' i snap out of my thoughts

' you okay? ' he asks as his eyes soften

' yea ' i smile

' alright, shoes or hoodies first? ' matt asks

' shoes, it takes me so much longer to pick out hoodies ' i laugh

' okay let's go ' he smiles as we make our way over to the shoes

' hmmm what shoes do i not have yet? ' i think out loud

' probably none of them ' matt mumbles

' shut the fuck up ' i roll my eyes with a smile

' just saying ' he raises his hands in defense

' mkay whatever matthew ' i shove his shoulders playfully

' don't start that shoving shit i will win every time ' he smirks down at me

' fuck off ' i roll my eyes with a smile

' you know what matt ' i say

' what? ' he asks

' i don't think i have blue air jordans yet ' i smile as i walk to go find them

' oh just the blue ones though ' matt says sarcastically

' shut up and follow me ' i roll my eyes even though he was already following me

' found them! ' i say excitedly grabbing matts hand and guiding him to the shoes

' ooh im gonna get these too ' he grins

' okay copycat ' i push his arm lightly

' but we can match ' he grins at me

' oh yea of course ' i give a sarcastic smile

' whatever u know u want too ' matt ruffles my hair with an eye roll

' okay i got my size let's go look at hoodies ' i smile as i grab his hand and drag him towards the hoodies section

' why are we in the mens section? ' matt asks

' i like oversized hoodies, why do u think i steal yours and chris's all the time ' i smile

' oh okay, cmere look at this one ' matt says as he walks to a blue hoodie with a check and the word nike on the right upper corner

' mmm i already have that one ' i shrug

' yea and it's mine so get another one and give me back mine ' matt says picking up a hoodie in his size

' or you could get another one and i keep the one u gave me ' i smile

' whatever ' he rolls his eyes with a smile and begins to walk else where

* skip to after we checked out and we were walking somewhere else *

' where too now? ' matt

' hmm i don't know ' i shrug

i gasp dramatically

' what?? ' matt asks with a worried expression plastered in his face

' we should go find nick and julia ' i smile

' thank god ' he sighs in relief

' what? ' i ask

' i thought u were hurt or something ' he laughs

' i will be if we don't find them ' i smile as i pull out my phone to call nick

' they're with chris and madison in the parking lot ' i tell the boy

' damn why? ' he asks as we turn the corner to make our way towards the parking lot

' i dunno i guess they wanna go home although nick told us to hurry because he's hungry ' i laugh

' how we ate at 9 and it's only 11 ' matt laughs

' i dunno ' i shrug

' alright whatever maybe we should get mcdoanlds ' matt says

' sure im down ' i shrug as matts phone goes off

' it's chris ' he says after he pulls his phone out

MATTS POV

' it's chris ' i say checking the message

' okay ' she smiles

chris

im sitting in the back with nick madison and julia

why??

nick and julia told me what's goin on between u and soph

nothings going on? is this all just to sit with madison? 😉

fuck yourself

def telling soph 💔

' chris told me to fuck myself ' i inform sophia as we walk out of the mall doors

' why? ' she asks

' he said he wanted to sit in the back with madison ' i give her a knowing look

' ooooo ' she gives a teasing smirk making the both of us laugh as we approach the car

SOPHIAS POV

' let's go bitches ' i smile at everyone as i hop in the front seat

' what the fuck why are u sitting up front? ' julia asks

' chris wants to sit with lover girl ' i smile

' fuck yourself ' chris flips me off

' heard that one before ' i laugh

' whatever ' he rolls his eyes

' guys we're going to mcdonald's ' i smile at nick

' we just ate ' chris states

' SHUT THE FUCK UP ' nick yells

' mcdonaldsss ' nick smiles

' damn i didn't need all that disrespect ' chris rolls his eyes at his older brother

' whatever ' nick rolls his eyes

' anyways ' julia speaks

' im playing music ' i interrupt her

' fuck you ' she rolls her eyes

' that's why i like madison more ' i smile at the girl who smiles back

' apparently chris does to ' julia mumbles making me laugh louder than i shouldve

' shut the fuck up both of u ' chris groans

' i didn't even say anything??? ' i defend as i play cruel summer by taylor swift

' but ur laugh is annoying and loud as hell so shut it off ' chris shrugs

' go fuck yourself chris ' i roll my eyes trying to ignore his comment, see me and chris always bicker and make fun of eachother but there's just some things that get to me because i was bullied through middle school by the one pretty girl, so everything she said about me i felt insecure about since she was prettier than me, so when me and chris joke and he brings up things that she said i get insecure

' soph? ' i hear matt say snapping me out of my thoughts

' huh? ' i ask

' we're all going inside ' matt says making me look into the backseat to see everyone getting out

' hey soph ' matt grabs my wrist as im about to catch up with the group

' yea? ' i ask turning to face hun

' are u okay? you kinda zoned out after chris made fun of your laugh ' matt said

' yea im fine ' i lie with a smile

' cmon i know u better than this ' matt pushes

' it's fine really, just that one girl who bullied me throughout school said that a lot and I take it personally since she's prettier ' i shrug

' sophh ' matt throws and arm around my shoulder as we start to walk across the road

' no one's prettier than you, don't take what that bitch says to heart she's jealous, you know she had a crush on chris and u were so close to him she made fun of you so u would back off chris or whatever ' matt smiles

' thanks matt but no i didn't know that ' i laugh as we walk into the mcdonald's

' what the fuck took so long? and why is his arm around ur shoulder? ' nick asks

' it was two seconds and for comfort ' i roll my eyes at nick with a smile

' comfort? ' nick asks and i nod

' mkay sure ' he smirks

' fuck off ' i slap his arm

' ow! okay okay ' nick raises his hands in defense

' okay we're gonna go order so write ur orders down on my phone ' matt says giving his phone to nick, then chris, then madison, and then julia

' okay we're gonna go order ' matt says as we walk to the line and he takes his arm off me

' what do u want? ' matt asks

' just a large fry and oreo mcflurry ' i smile

' that's it? ' he asks

' yea we ate 2 hours ago ' i laugh

' fair, but are u ok now? ' he asks

' yea, it doesn't hurt to much because it's chris and he can't even talk and he's my best friend so i know he doesn't mean it ' i smile

' im offended?? what im a too you a ghost? ' matt hits my arm playfully

' okay whatever u know what i meant obviously i like u more than chris ' i smile

' you better ' he jokes

' how may i help you? ' the register lady asks as we approach the register

* we say our order, they give us a table number and we go sit down *

' took u long enough ' madison groans

' sorry gf ' i blow her a kiss

' it's okay ' she pretends to catch it and kiss it making me laugh as i sit between matt and nick

' hi nick ' i smile at the boy

' hi soph, how was your time with matt at the mall? ' nick smirks

' it was alright, would've been more fun with you though ' i roll my eyes

' what the fuck ' matt smacks my arm lightly and rolls his eyes with a smile

' get over it ' i smile and ruffle his hair, making him groan and smack my hand away

' order for matt sturniolo ' a girl calls out, making matt stand up to get our food

' im so excited ' nick squeals

' me too ' i smile and high five him

' okay get ur food ' matt says pushing a tray of food on our table since no one got too much because we ate 2 hours prior

* we all get out food and start eating *

' so what do we wanna do after this? ' julia asks all of us

' i dunno ' chris shrugs

' i- ' i get cut off from my phone ringing

' excuse me ' i smile as matt gets out of the booth for me to get up and then i walk to the bathroom and answer the phone

' grandma why are u calling? we haven't talked in ages i miss u ' i smile to myself

' that's why i was calling dear, your mother told me you have new friends other than those triplet boys and i want you and your friends to come to california to visit again ' my grandma says

' oh my god of course! when?! ' i laugh

' tomorrow i already booked flights ill send you thr information ' she laughs

' oh my go of course thank u so much granny!! ' i exclaim smiling to myself

' of course! bye dear ' she says

' bye! ' i smile and hang up then i sprint out of the bathroom and to our table

' guys!! granny wants us to visit her in california again!! ' i squeal

' really?! ' matt shoots up from his seat

' yea!! ' i exclaim as he engulfs me in a tight hug

' your the best! ' he picks me up and spins me

' i know ' i laugh

' does she really?! ' chris squeals

' yeah!! ' i laugh letting go of matt

' fuck yes! ' nick exclaims and also stands to give me a hug

' someone wanna fill me in? ' madison asks

' soph has this awesome gilf that we visit every few years and i love her ' chris explains

' stop calling my grandma a fucking gilf christopher  ' i make a gross face at him

' whatever ' he rolls his eyes

' we leave tomorrow morning at 4am by the way so hope ur parents don't mind ' i laugh

' marylou won't at all ' matt smiles from his spot beside me

' my parents are gone so im good to go ' madison shrugs

' ill text mine right now ' julia pulls out her phone

' guys we have to pack after this ' chris states

' i know dipshit ' i laugh

' this is so exciting ' nick gives me another side hug since we are sitting now

' i know ' i laugh and lean my head in his shoulder

' my parents said yes ' julia smiles

' okay good, are we ready to leave now? ' i ask

' yea ' everyone replies so we all leave

' someone needs to come home with me and help me pack ' i announce

' it's gonna take me and julia too long as it is, and chris and madison are gonna pack together so matt can ' nick smirks at chris

' mkay' I shrug

' alright well ill drop u at madisons first then you guys at ours or julias? ' matt asks nick

' julias ' nick replied

' okay ' matt smiles at his older brother

* time skip to me and matt arriving at my house *

' okay matt what should I pack? ' i ask

' well how long are we gonna be there? ' matt asks as we walk into my empty house

' I think 2 weeks ' i shrug

' then a lot ' matt smiles

' no shit fuckface ' I roll my eyes playfully as we walk up the stairs to my room

' just here to help ' he throws his hands up in defense

' then actually help me ' i roll my eyes as i walk into my room

' okay i will ' he smiles at me before walking to my closet to pick out clothes for me to bring

' its gonna be hot in the day and cold at night so choose accordingly ' i tell him as i pull a suitcase from under my bed

' you just keep those there? ' he asks referring to my suitcase from under my bed

' yea ' i shrug

' okay well i got this white crop top that i think looks really good on you ' he smiles while proudly holding up the shirt

' mkay throw it to me ' i say putting my hands up as the throws it, i catch it then place it in my suitcase

( after picking out all my clothes which consisted off matt saying ' this because it looks good on you ' too everything he chose )

' okay i need bathing suits and shoes now ' i say opening my 2nd suitcase

' okay ill get those ' he smiles walking over to my dresser with my swimsuits, socks, etc.

' grab some socks, bras, and underwear for me too ' i tell him

' I'll get the socks im not touching the rest of that shit ' matt chuckles to himself throwing like half my socks in the suitcase

' god damn matt that's too many socks ' i laugh

' better more than not enough ' he shrugs

' my grandma has a washer ' i smile taking a lot of the socks out and putting them in my drawer as well as grabbing some bras and underwear

' oooo i like this one! ' matt exclaims with a proud smile holding a white bathing suit with a hoop in the middle of the chest

' okay ' i smile and grab it from him, then sit next to my suitcase and throw everything i grabbed into it

' and this one ' he says throwing a beige bathing suit at me

' okay ' i laugh and put it in the suitcase

' okay im gonna get ur converse, white crocs, and your birkenstocks ' matt informs me walking to my shoe rack

' alright grab my air forces too ' i tell him

' ow! that hit me in the face matt ' i groan and roll my eyes

' oh sorry! are u okay? ' he turns to me with a worried expression

' yea im fine hurry up ' i laugh

' okay im going ' he raises his hands in defense and then turns back to my shoe rack

' alright got them ' matt speaks up after half a minute of comfortable silence and walks to my suitcase to put them in

' okay, im stealing your hoodies fyi so pack extra ' i tell him

' okay ' he shrugs

' are we  ready to go to your house now? ' i ask

' yup ' he smiles and grabs my hands to help me off of the floor

' thank you ' i smile

' of course ' he returns the smile

* after we get to matts house *

' ur bringing this, for me ' i smile as i hold up a white nike crew neck with a black check in the top middle of the shirt

' okay throw it ' he says holding his hands out to catch it, then i throw it and he puts it in one of his two suitcases

' hmm what about this? ' i ask holding one of his ransom t-shirts to my body

' sure give me it ' he holds his hands up again as i throw it and then he puts in in the suitcase

' alright let me lookkk ' i say as I go through shirts hung in his closet

' what about these?? ' i hold up 6 nike t shirts, all the same just different colors

' hmm sure but just the black, white, blue, and grey ones ' matt says

' okay ' I say and put the others back then throw the ones he chose at him

' bring these for me ' i say throwing 2 pairs of nike sweatpants at him, black and grey.

' okay but im wearing them too ' matt says

' no shit sherlock ' i roll my eyes with a smile

' just making it clear ' he defends with a laugh

' bring these sweatshirts to mate the sweatpants ' i say throwing black and grey nikesweatshirts at him

' okay got em ' i say after a minute and walk over to put them in his suitcase

' now go get 3 swim trunks ' he smiles at me

' alright ' i smile and go get 3 random pairs then throw them in the suit case

' ugh packing is so tiring ' i groan as i fall back onto his bed

' i know ' he groans and falls next to me

' wanna watch a movie? ' i turn my head to face him and smile

' sure ' he turns his head to face me and smiles back at me

' okay but i get to pick ' i sit up

' okay ' he sits up and laughs

* after getting comfortable which is him laying down and me laying on his chest with his arm around my waist, i decide on the movie to all the boys ive loved before *

' this is such a good movie ' i look up at matt and give him a smile

' im sure it is ' he laughs

        ⚠️ TATBILB SPOILERS!! ⚠️
