How do caterpillars turn into butterflies? No seriously - like first of all, these weird insects start off as things that can barely crawl and THEN boom, they have wings and they can fly. You know what’s unfair? The fact that caterpillars and humans start out the same way - crawling. BUT ONLY ONE OF THEM GETS TO FCKING FLY. Well… okay yes we have planes and stuff, but not really fly. Not like that time Mateo got high and he thought he was flying - that was irrelevant. Oh sh!t off topic…well… is it really? Because if you asked Mateo, Sophie was like the prettiest butterfly which is what started this whole train of thought so it’s not really irrelevant but maybe irrelevant enough that Matty shouldn’t say anything…
The not saying anything stuff was something he learned at a young age… because if you say something… people just give you weird looks and then it gets back to his parents… and that was a whole mess in itself… anyways.
Matty realized he was staring at his cup while his mind moved a million miles a second, and instantly, he found himself out of the trance as he looked back to Sophie giving her a cheeky grin before asking her about the drink. Damn… see… Matty already was fcking up this date - giving a girl who didn’t drink, spiked punch. Sht.
“Oh… I’m sorry I can take that,” Matty stated instantly, trying to fix the situation. What if Sophie wasn’t having fun anymore because of that? Stupid, stupid Mateo. Damn…
"That’s cool honestly. I don’t think I’ve met many people who don’t drink in our school… or maybe I don’t always hang out with the best crowd but… I respect that soooo instead, chocolate is a good substitute. " he added, grabbing a brownie himself and taking a biiiig bite - leaving his drink on the table. If his date wasn’t going to drink, he won’t either.
“Um… would you… like to dance?”
