Miranda and I were lazing around in my room when the phone next to my bed
rang. I picked it up and placed it to my ear and spoke.
"Hello?"
"Oh hello, Lizzie? It's Mrs. Sanchez here, I was wondering if Miranda was there?"
"Oh hi Mrs. Sanchez. Sure she's right here."
I passed the phone over to Miranda and she began speaking Spanish to her Mum. It's amazing how fast she can talk in Spanish and English and not think twice about what language she's talking. She soon hung up and turned to me.
"Sorry Lizzie, I have to go home, Mum wants to talk to me about something.Guess I'll have to come over another time. I-"
"Lizzie?" a voice called from my doorway, I turned around annoyed about being interrupted but frowned when I saw Matt standing there looking the worse for wear. I looked back and Miranda and she held up her hand.
"Hey Matt, I was just leaving. You can have your sister all to your self. "
He gave her a small smile and walked further into the room. As Miranda passed him she smiled at him then turned to look at me.
"Ciao Lizzie. See you tomorrow."
"Yeah, see you 'Randa."
I looked at Matt who was standing in the middle of my room looking a little lost. I motioned for him to sit down with me on my bed. He did so but very slowly.
"What's wrong Matt?"
"I.she.we.Um." He took a deep breath then started again. " You were right Liz."
"Of course I was." I had absolutely no idea what he was talking but decided to lighten the mood a little. He smiled weakly at me.
"I like her. What am I gonna do?"
"Her"? Her who? Just then Matt ran a hand through his hair and I remembered him taking so long in the bathroom this morning. Melina!
"You do? Well what's so horrific about that?" I asked watching him pulverise my butterfly shaped pillow that was innocently sitting on my bed before Matt had picked it up and decided to murder it. I gently prised it from his grip and looked at him questioningly.
"I can't like Melina! We're best friends. It'll ruin everything. Sometimes I think that she likes me but then she does something the next minute that makes me think that she sees me as a brother! How do I mess something like that up? I can't! Well I probably can but I don't want too." He said rationally. The poor guy. Yes! I do actually care about my brother. Even if he does get on my nerves every now and then.
"Well sorry to say it Matt, but I really don't know what to suggest. It's your decision what you do about Melina. Who knows, you could tell her how you feel and she could return your feelings, as much as I hate to admit it Matt, you're a great person, if not to me, to Melina, I'm sure she sees that. And if she knows what's good for her she'll already have fallen for you. And besides, the worse that could happen is that she tells you she doesn't feel the same way but at least you'll still have a wonderful friendship."
My second good deed for the day and they both involved Matt!
"Wonderful friendship?! She'll probably never speak to me again if I tell her any of that!"
After his little dramatic speech he dropped his head into his hands. I patted him gently on the back. Then I was struck with a sudden idea.
"Hey Matt, do you want me to talk to her for you? I can tell her whatever you want me too. I know for a fact that she thinks of me as an older sister. She may not show you a lot of respect, but she does me."
He perked up at that.
"Hey that's a great idea. You're not as dumb as I originally thought!"
Just when I thought I was getting myself a mature brother, the old Matt rears it's ugly head. Oh well, I'll help him in any way that I can; he is flesh and blood after all.
"Insult me and I won't help at all. Just.invite Melina over and I'll do the rest."
"Ok thank you thank you thank you!" he hugged me then ran from my room and I heard him pick up the phone then a few seconds later I heard: "Melina? Hey it's Matt."

Da dum! 'Nother chappie out of the way. Usually I don't dilly dally around with the in-between of my chapters but I decided I would this time. So there's kinda like two stories going at once, with Matt and all.
Thanks again to the people who have review my story!!! I really appreciate it. Makes me want to continue writing stories. By the way, if anyone ever has any ideas for stories that they want to give me, by all means please do!!!! After this story you probably won't see me for ages because I'll be struggling to come up with another plot for a bigger and better story!
Anywho, thanks guys! Review and let me know what you thought of this chapter. Muchly appreciated.
