UNBREAKABLE
Chapter 17
Nikki's P.O.V.
I groaned loudly as I realized that I had gym next hour, it was Friday and all I wanted to do was get home and relax, but no we had to play dodge ball again. I dragged my feet slowly and spent as much time as possible changing trying to prevent going to gym but eventually I finished and I sluggishly made my way out of the locker room.
I couldn’t focus throughout the whole gym class. Yesterday while Matt was driving me home I realized that we were slowly but surely becoming best friends again and even though I thought that being friends again would fix everything, I wasn’t exactly sure it was what I wanted… No. I quickly shook my head and tried to focus on the game but thoughts of Matt kept side tracking me. My thoughts drifted to the night of the kiss and how I felt about it. I couldn’t of liked it, I mean we were only friends, kissing Matt would be like kissing my brother. But I mean I obviously didn’t hate it either, I did kiss back… But kissing back would mean that I liked him and I most definitely did not like Matt. He was my best friend and that was it, I refused to even try to accept any feelings for Matt and I decided that even if there were any to begin with the longer I ignored them the faster them would go away.
Finally satisfied with my thoughts I turned my attention back to the game of dodge ball, I tried to pay attention to what was going on but my eyes kept flitting over towards Matt. I swore I could feel him throwing glances in my direction too but I never caught him.
At the end of the hour the only people left playing were Matt, Rory and I on one side and Brooke, a friend of mine named Connor, and two other boys I wasn’t very familiar with, I’m pretty sure their names are Collin and Evan. I was trying to figure out how I could get Brooke out when I felt a light tap on my shoulder. I jumped and spun around quickly coming face to face with Matt.
My heart literally stopped as I stared into his blue-green eyes and I realized that this was the closest we had been since ‘the kiss.’ Something was different though, I scanned every inch of his face and I was surprised to see dark circles under his eyes indicating that he probably hadn’t got much sleep but that wasn’t it, something was off. I continued to search his gorgeous, no I didn’t not just say that he’s not gorgeous he’s just my friend, but I continued to search his face determined to find out what was different when I was suddenly overcome with the urge to kiss him. I quickly shoved the thought away and stepped back a little bit trying to distance myself and get rid of the strange longing. That’s when I realized he was trying to talk to me. I felt my face flush a deep red and I tried to understand what he said but considering I had missed most of it I was completely lost.
“Um… w-what?” I manage to stammer out my heart beating like crazy. What had just happened? Did I literally just do that, just stare at Matt for no reason, and I called him gorgeous… no, no I didn’t I thought he was gorgeous, but he’s just my friend I can’t be thinking like this!
“I said that you should try and distract Brooke or someone when I get them out…” He chuckled lightly before grinning evilly. I giggled at his plan even though I was still trying to figure out what was different about Matt before I eventually gave up and turned on my heel to try and distract Brooke. As I made my way towards Brooke I couldn’t decide if I should be happy or sad, sure something was up with Matt but it did seem as if the awkwardness was finally past us and we were friends again. But at the same time I was upset because even though I knew it was what I wanted I knew that that’s all we would ever be, friends.
