❝just how i feel, could you tell me what’s real, anymore..?❞

wherever matt went, you were too. wherever you went, matt was there too. you both were inseperable. ever since you met in kindergarten, you just clicked.

you were practically attached at the hip. everyone described you guys as inseparable. and being such strong best friends meant your families became connected too. chris and nick became your friends too, and it was like you were all one, big, happy family.

unfortunately, growing into a teenager and realizing how great your boy best friend really was basically meant you formed a little crush on him. nothing changed, just meant that you were mesmerized every time he spoke and all you heard was “blah blah blah, proper name, place name, backstory stuff”.

life was great. until it wasn’t.

the triplets’ dad got a job offer in california during sophomore year, and they moved across the country that summer. you promised to stay in touch, but it got awkward over facetime and text after a while.

nonetheless, you missed them. badly. especially matt.

so, you can imagine your surprise when, a year later, the summer after junior year and before senior year, your mother announced that you guys were going to california and staying with the sturniolos for the whole summer.

and that’s where you are now, in the passenger seat of your car with your older brother behind the wheel and your mother in the back making sure you don’t crash, 10 minutes away from the sturniolos house. you really like california, which adds to the excitement of the experience.
