Episode 3- Middle school.

I first met Matthew in my first year of middle school.

We were classmates but at first we didn't talk much. Most of the time we met with other friends from school.

I sat at a table behind him and sometimes I would look at his back. He was taller than me, handsome, very popular even among girls and very sociable.

The complete opposite of me.

For the whole first year we didn't talk.

At the beginning of the second year Matthew, unexpectedly, came to me.

"Hey ... you're Noah, right?"

"Ah-" I was surprised. Is he talking to me? "Yes, that's my name ..."

"Nice, you sat behind me the first year right? I haven't had a chance to talk to you yet."

like I said. Very sociable.

....

After that day, Matthew came to me often.

After half a year we became very good friends.

I used to look at his back, now I'm used to looking at his face, too.

He had very beautiful gray eyes and his straight black hair flew beautifully in the cold wind of winter.

Not long after that, I realized I love him more than friends.

Like I already said, Matthew was very popular. I wasn't the only one with feelings for him.

A lot of girls tried to date him but Matthew got tired of it.

...

"Ahhhh! Oh really, they don't even mean it."

"How do you know? They can really be in love with you, you know."

After school I went to Matthew's house and somehow we got into this conversation.

Matthew stood wandering around the room, going crazy. I sat on the floor by his bed, watching TV and eating ice cream while listening to Matthew's madness.

"No no no. You don't understand. I think they are trying to harass me! I have become their game. Has going out with me become a trend?"

"Ha ha ha ..." I had a small smile on my face. He's really stupid. "I think they just really like you."

"no way."

He did not realize he was popular.

" What are you watching?"

Matthew finally calmed down and sat down next to me.

"A new movie. I've been waiting for it to come out for a long time." Our shoulders suddenly touched.

Ah ... he's close.

My heart was pounding fast, I thought it was going to come out of my chest. I lowered my head into the orchard and bit my lip. calm down. calm down.

Matthew gently put his hand on my forehead.

"Ah-!" I was surprised. What is he doing? Touching me ...

"Do you have a fever? You're a little hot ... "

"W-W-What are you doing?" My body was hot. My face flushed and my neck was sweating.

"You didn't listen to what I said and your face was red. I was just worried about you, don't be angry."

"Ahhh...!"

He moved his hand from my forehead and put it on my cheek. I was so surprised that I made a strange noise.

Matthew smiled a small, beautiful smile. Seeing him smile like that, I couldn't resist his hand. His thumb moves under my eye.

I can't stop hoping for something.

Matthew brought his face closer to mine.

Ahhh ... if it's a dream, please do not end. I hope I never wake up.

Our lips were so close I could feel his breathing. Why did he stop? Is he waiting for me?

I was stressed. What am I supposed to do? I put my hand on his shoulder, hugged his back. My leg was over his leg.

I looked at him, blushing.

"I want to kiss you, Matthew!"

Matthew brought his face close and then finally, we kissed. His lips were soft.

I can 't believe it.

It felt so unrealistic.

Matthew moved his face and smiled

"Noah, I love you"

Eh?
