Out of bounds
"Look Paul, I'm happy for him and I said go for it. Isn't that enough!"
"No Elizabeth".
He called me Elizabeth he's never called me Elizabeth before in my whole entire life.
"Why? Paul it breaks my heart to go near him anyway without having to go and egg him on about getting this girl"
"Lizzy listen to me it's for your own benefit really."
"How will it be for my benefit?? Telling him to go for that blonde bimbo"
"What blonde bimbo?"
"The one who was here a couple of weeks ago"
"Is that why you've been so upset?? Mattie and I were beginning to get really worried; we thought it was something really bad"
Mattie was worried??? About me, oh yes of course he would be if he saw me as a sister. Don't get your hopes up Lizzy. Hey!! It is something really bad; obviously my idiot of a brother has never felt unrequited love.
"It is something really bad! Having to see the boy you're in love with basically make out with a girl, and a slutty girl at that"
"Make out with her?? No he wasn't"
"Yes he was, the girl was practically throwing herself at him, so she obviously returns his feelings"
"Did you see him reciprocate?"
"I didn't have to. I got out before they did anything else"
"Exactly, so perhaps if you had stayed and watched" I interrupted him before he could continue
"Are you joking???!!!"
"No, if you would have stayed and watched, he would have seen him turn her down"
"He did what??"
"Yeah he turned a totally gorgeous girl down, well his lost is my gain" he said with a smug smile
"Why did he turn her down?"
"He's still heart sore over this girl. I mean I don't know why, in my opinion she's just to annoying"
"You know the girl he loves!"
"Yes quite well, well very well in fact. Goes to our school"
"But that could be anyone??? Is she in your group?? Does she spend a lot of time with him?"
"I'm afraid you're going to have to ask him all this not me"
"But..."
"I'm going to spend some time getting to know Claire". He did that look that meant getting to know as in getting to know her mouth.
"Claire?"
"Yeah the blonde bimbo, now go and speak to Mattie". With that he was gone.
She went to our school?? Now that could mean anyone, and I mean anybody. There was lots of girls who were interested in Mattie (I mean Matt), but there never seemed anybody who particularly interested him. Ah but it seems like I was wrong. I racked my brain for signs of him liking a girl at our school. But none came to mind, he was courteous, and gentlemanlike to everyone. Even to the least popular people (myself included). This is probably why I loved him so much, that he was kind to everyone.
Yes as you've probably guessed my brother, and my boyfriend haha I wish, I mean brothers best friend are popular, whereas me on the other hand am certainly most not. I get acknowledged of course as being Paul Galloway's little sister Elizabeth, but nothing more than that. I get girls coming up to me as well asking me to introduce them to my brother, and Mattie. This didn't use to bother me until one of the girls used me to get to my brother and Matt (him especially). I've never told Matt and Paul what happened, I never will. She said some things to me that hurt a lot, she was the one who made me realise that me and Mattie could never be.
"You're out of his league" she said.
"I…"
"No let me finish. He's mine okay? And it's not like he's ever going to look at you. I mean come on get real!! He wants a more mature woman like myself, and not someone who's just started their period. You're a baby okay? So why don't you wait till you've grown up a bit, but then again by that time. He'll by mine"
With that she walked out humming the song, "one way or another" by Blondie.
Oh no, it couldn't be her could it that he liked??? Please no not her! There was only one way I could find out.
"I had to speak to Mattie"
"Yes?"
I jumped and turned around as fast as lightening.
"Where on earth did you come from Matt?"
I noticed he winced at being called Matt.
"From my house"
"Yes obviously, but how long have you been there for?"
"Not long" I looked at his face and he was most definitely lying. I mean come I've loved this guy for ages, and I've spent half of my time staring at him from the stairs (so he can't see me of course). I know all of his facial expressions.
"You're lying"
"I'm not"
"Oh my goodness! You so are"
"Oh my goodness??!!! I am so not" he said laughing
"You are!!"
"Am not"
"You are"
"Am not!!" he pulled his tongue out at me.
"Yes you are, and you are so childish"
"Haha, am not"
"Stop lying Matthew. Now tell me how long you were standing there for"
"Okay you got me. I've been there for a while"
Ha he knew to stop lying then, because when I said Matthew I meant business.
"Why didn't you say you were there??"
"Because I like looking at you"
"Yes…..wha??
What did he just say??? I looked at him, and he refused to look me in the eye. He was messing with me, so I ignored the ache in my heart, and responded.
"Mattie I needed to ask you something about the girl you like"
"Yes?"
"Can you tell me more about her?"
This was probably going to break my heart but I had to do it, I needed to find out more about this girl
His face lit up, "As long as you tell me why you've been so upset. I've been worried about you", my heart cracked
