REAL LIFE !

as the days passed, valentina found herself enveloped in academics, seeking solace and laughter amidst the chaos of teenage life. one afternoon, her friends were gathered in their usual spot during lunch.

"are we doing something saturday?" zara asked, her eyes shifting from one friend to another.

elijah grinned. "i heard aiden clifford was having a party this weekend. it's his birthday or some shit."

chris raised an eyebrow. "you even know the guy? i don't even think we're invited."

elijah chuckled at chris' observation, his eyes bright, "well yeah, i don't know him, but our val here, does."

valentina laughed, "yeah. yeah. whatever. we've known each other since middle school. he used to teach me guitar."

"so that's what we're doing tomorrow," nick confirmed, earning a hum of agreement from the group, as they fell back into other conversations.

the mention of aiden's party brought a mix of excitement and hesitation to valentina's mind. she had indeed known aiden since middle school, and their occasional interactions had always been pleasant. but attending a party without matt felt like salt in the wound.

earlier, parties had always been valentina and matt's thing. they used to be inseparable at social gatherings, navigating the crowd hand in hand, sharing inside jokes and stealing glances that spoke volumes.

FLASHBACK!

in the bustling atmosphere of the house party, valentina and matt found themselves in the heart of the action, laughing and chatting as they navigated through the sea of people. despite the pulsating music and the throngs of partygoers, they were in their element, enjoying each other's company as they moved from room to room.

as they made their way to the makeshift dance floor, valentina couldn't help but marvel at the boy in dancing with her. she'd always believed that their relationship was purely platonic, the years of shared memories weaving a tapestry of friendship that felt like home. but now, she felt something more, and she wasn't even sure whether matt reciprocated her feelings.

as they swayed to the rhythm of the music, valentina couldn't shake the fluttering in her chest. matt's hand in hers felt different tonight, his touch igniting a warmth that spread through her veins. she stole a glance at him, his smile lighting up his face as he twirled her around, his eyes alight with joy.

for a moment, valentina allowed herself to get lost in the music, the sensation of matt's presence beside her sending a thrill coursing through her body. but as the song came to an end and they stepped off the dance floor, doubt crept back into valentina's mind.

was she reading too much into their friendship? were her feelings merely a figment of her imagination, fueled by the alcohol she'd been drinking tonight? she couldn't bear the thought of jeopardizing their friendship by confessing her newfound emotions, yet the longing in her heart refused to be silenced.

as they found themselves in a quiet corner of the room, catching their breath amidst the chaos of the party, valentina couldn't resist the urge to speak her truth. "matt," she began, her voice barely above a whisper, "i have to tell you something."

matt turned to her, his eyes searching hers with an intensity that made her heart skip a beat. "what is it, tina?" he asked, his voice gentle yet tinged with curiosity.

valentina took a deep breath, her eyes interlocking with matt's, "you know, you have pretty eyes."

matt's expression softened, a smile tugging at the corners of his lips. "really? do i?"

"mhm," valentina smiled lazily, "they make me want to never look at anything else, ever again."

matt chuckled, the sound like music to valentina's ears, "you don't know what you do to me valentina."

feeling emboldened by the warmth of the moment and the rush of alcohol coursing through her veins, valentina decided to take a leap of faith. with a playful glint in her eyes, she leaned in closer to matt, her heart pounding with anticipation.

"you know, matt," she said, her voice barely above a whisper, "i've always wondered what it would be like to kiss you."

valentina's heart skipped a beat as she awaited matt's response, her stomach a flutter of nerves and excitement. she had never been one to be so forward, but tonight felt different. the energy between them crackled with an undeniable tension, and she couldn't shake the feeling that this was a moment she couldn't let slip away.

as matt's gaze locked with hers, she could see the emotions swirling in his eyes, mirroring the turmoil in her own heart. for a brief moment, time seemed to stand still as they lingered in the quiet corner of the room, the distant sounds of the party fading into the background.

matt's eyes widened in surprise, his cheeks flushing as he processed valentina's words. "tina, i..." he began, his voice trailing off as he searched for the right words.

"i've always wondered what kissing you would be like, too."

valentina's breath caught in her throat, her pulse quickening with anticipation. "you have?" she whispered, hardly daring to believe what she was hearing.

matt nodded, his expression earnest. "yeah," he confessed, his voice barely above a whisper.

valentina's heart swelled with a mix of relief and longing. with a surge of courage, valentina closed the distance between them, her lips brushing against his in a tender kiss. in that moment, all her doubts and fears melted away, leaving only the exhilarating rush of being with the person she cared about most.

as they pulled apart, their eyes met in silent understanding, a newfound sense of clarity settling over them like a warm embrace.
