So no one told you life was gonna be this way

 


"Well, you're not just gonna give up...are you?" Slater looked at Matty as they were getting ready for an early morning run. Actually, he'd said the same exact thing to Bishop when he found Misty's invisible boyfriend at the University. Granted, Bishop was using a cane and Slater did feel sorry for him and that's why he kept it a secret from Misty because Bishop asked him too. Still, both guys (Matty and Bishop) had some pretty sweet people in their lives.

"You see," Matty stammered his words a bit about Valentina. "She says she wants to break up."

"But you still keep getting back together," Slater reminded him. "You can't go out with that Vanna girl, can you?"

"I told Brick that I would-"

"Aw the skinny dude always chasing grocery carts," he sighed. Slater guessed it wouldn't be any easier talking some sense into Bishop about Misty. 

"Well, the thing is you'll break Valentina's heart if you do," Slater told him he would go on the double date in his place.

"What?" Matty looked at him as if that was the worst idea.

"Won't she be surprised," He gave Matty a goofy grin and sprinted off as if Matty would have to catch up.

Matty only laughed and caught up in no time. 

"When are you going to ask somebody out that's not a setup," Matty knew his story about Misty. He knew her uncle had helped him get an apartment near Misty's.

"I haven't met her yet," Slater shrugged. Besides, he was still trying to figure out the Bishop problem. He could tell the guy just needed more friends. Maybe if he thought about this long enough, he might have to go on a date with Bishop and Misty.

He shook his head. He never remembered being this involved in anybody else's life.

  1. Oh, I actually hope Matty doesn't go out with Vanna. I am still rooting for him and Valentina:)
    PS Thank you so much for always putting such thoughtful comments on my posts, Ellie:) Currently am working on a complete hand-sewn skirt that I am entering in a sewing contest, so that's been keeping me busy. Are you crocheting anything right now?
