I stretched out before opening my eyes and finding myself snuggled into Matt's chest. My eyes widened and I tried to slide away from his body until I realised he was actually holding me there. His arm was around my waist, securing me against him.

I shifted as I tried to pull his hand away but his grip only tightened. Sighing, I shook him.

He let out a tired groan and turned his face away. "Matt, get up" I whispered.

"No" he replied.

"Seriously, get up, my brother could come in at any moment" I said, still shaking Matt.

He opened his eyes and turned his head to look at me. I raised an eyebrow when he didn't move. "Earth to Kane?" I asked, waving a hand in his face.

He broke out of his thoughts. "It's the weekend, I don't want to move" he said, yawning.

I pushed at him again and finally his hand broke away from me. I sat up and ran a hand through my hair. "You have to go, I can't believe I let you sleep here" I said mostly to myself.

He didn't move. I heard a knock on my door and I jolted. "Hey sis" I heard my brother say.

I climbed over Matt, not caring as I practically straddled him to get to the door. I held the doorknob shut. "Sorry Chris, I'm just getting changed" I said, before glancing at Matt.

Matthew stood up and brushed whatever it was off his shirt, not looking at me. His shirt raised a little and I saw the flat six pack all the girls had fallen in love with. I looked away. "Oh okay, I'm just letting you know I'm going out again and Mum has already left, you going to be okay today?" He asked through the door.

"Yeah, I'll be fine, go do whatever you're doing" I replied.

"Okay, see ya tonight maybe" he said before I heard his footsteps walk away.

I waited with baited breath until I heard his car start and I ran over to my window, watching it drive away. I glanced at Matt. "That was too close" I said, crossing my arms.

Matt just smirked. "Trust me, it's not the worse thing to be caught with me in your bedroom, plenty of girls would kill to be in this position" he said before running a hand through his dark hair.

I rolled my eyes. "Good thing I'm not most girls" I replied.

"That's true" he replied as he walked over to my desk.

For some reason, that reply bothered me. Shaking my head, I let it go.

"Alright, you can go home now" I said as I pulled open my bedroom door.

He looked up from a photograph he was looking up and frowned. "Why would I go home when I can annoy you all day?" He asked, smirking again.

"Let's not push this new friendship, alright? Because I'll get sick of you very fast" I replied, crossing my arms.

"Wow, you're really honest in the morning" he replied frowning slightly.

He walked towards me, heading for the door but he froze as he reached me. "I don't think you would ever get sick of me Shelby, we grew up together and I know everything about you" he said, looking at me with those eyes of his.

Damn him for being so attractive.

"We haven't been friends for a long time Matthew, people change" I replied, looking directly at his chest to avoid his eyes.

"Good thing you aren't most people" he said, reiterating I had said.

I stiffened and I felt him tuck some hair behind my ear before walking out of my bedroom door. I heard his footsteps fade down the stairs before the front door closed. I looked out the window to see Matt shoot my house a glance before jogging across the road.

Sitting on the edge of my bed, I fell back and buried my head into my pillow, letting out a frustrated scream.
God, even this pillow smelt like him.

Why did everything about him but his attitude have to be so attractive? Couldn't he just be an awful person and let it make me feel better.
I pulled my phone off the nightstand to see a missed text message from Alana, telling me to meet her at our cafe.

Sighing, I got up and got ready for the day.

"Hey" I said as I found Alana in our usual seat.

She looked up from her phone to look at me with a serious face. "Uh oh, no smile, I'm in deep trouble aren't I?" I asked, sliding onto my seat.

She folded her hands. "Look Alana, I apologised to Matt, and we made a deal to try and be friends" I said almost shuddering at the world.

Alana remained quiet. "And he ate my ice cream, if that makes you feel better?" I said, looking at her.

She just stared at me blankly. "Say something" I said, frowning.

"Why didn't you tell me you have a crush on Matt, and that's why you treat him like you do" she said, surprising the hell out of me and making me blink.

I was in complete shock. "I'm sorry, what?" I asked.

She turned her phone and gave it to me. I glanced at the contact name and knew what was happening. "Courtney says you tried to break them up" Alana said, raising one eyebrow.

I glanced at my best friend. "Do I look like the type of person who would do that?" I asked, wanting the honest answer.

"I don't know, you've been acting really weird around Matt, and this explains a few things" she said, looking away for a moment.

Hurt rose within me. "Explains a few things? What's that suppose to mean?" I asked, my voice rising.

Alana shrugged. "Tell me the truth Shelby, are you into Matt?" She asked, looking at me dead in the eye.

I hoped she saw the hurt, the insecurity and the shock reflected back. "No Alana, I'm not into Matt, we've barely become friends and besides why do I have to answer to you or Courtney, if I decided I wanted to like Matt than I will do that and I don't need your permission or Courtney's permission to do so" I said, slamming her phone on the table as I stood up angrily.

Alana frowned. "I can't believe you listened to her, you know how much shit she talks" I said as I slid her phone across the table.

She caught it. "Text me when you decide to be my friend" I snapped before storming off and leaving her in the cafe with everyone staring at her.

A/N

Naw poor Shelby. She just can't catch a break.

Still that super cute moment between Matt and Shelby.
Secrets will be revealed soon, I hope you guys are ready.

Its confession time from Matt, I think.
Hmm *rubs hands together because I'm evil*
