"You are missing out, I'm such a sucker for romance though but really give it a try." Sky said as he leaned back in his chair. He leaned back in a way where he was facing Matt slightly. After a moment of silence, Sky continued to be on his phone, though he would face it down if Matt wanted to talk to him. "Hm, well I have three..." Sky replied pausing for a moment. "Red, black and purple, what about you?" Skylar asked.

Matt made a mental note of those three colors for future reference, and began sketching yet another snake. He really took a moment to figure out what his favorite color was, he'd never taken a moment to think on that. " I guess its a tie between teal and blue-grey. And I will give romance a try," he thought for a moment how to come to a natural pause or weave phone numbers into the conversation, " here's my number in case you think of any." He took a sticky note out of his bag and jotted down his number. He then reached over and stuck it to the side of Sky's desk, offering a fleeting smile in case Sky decided to look away from his phone. He then turned in his desk so he was facing Sky directly. " do you have any other fun hobbies?" He blurted out a question to quell the silence that had been between the two for a second then. Matt pushed off the half finished snake, thinking he'd come back to it later. He began messing around with the buttons on his shirt, A nervous habit he'd picked up somehwere. Matt noticed how Sky seemed to always be on his phone.

Skylar kept his eyes glued to his phone, but once Matt mentioned giving him his number his looked up. Once Matt put the sticky note on the side of his desk, Skylar immediately grabbed it. He looked at it real quick before putting it in his pocket, he would text him later. When Matt then smiled at him Skylar smiled back slightly. When Skylar looked back at his phone, Matt started speaking again causing Sky to look back up. "Uhm well I can play the piano and electric guitar. What other hobbies do you have?" Skylar said as he put his phone face down on his desk and turned all his attention to Matt.

Matt watched as Sky seemed to essentially rip the sticky note off the desk. He though for a moment longer on his question before answering it, Matt realized Sky had put his phone down for a bit. 'At least he's got some respect with the thing' he thought to himself. What hobbies did he have besides reading? He took a moment to ponder the question. " I draw some, its not really finalized work and I have a ton of improvement to do but its fun. I work for a nursing home right now, I like hearing the stories people have to share there." That was true, he remebered thus one little old man who told him countless stories about going out hunting and fishing with his son. He was jealous he never got to do those things, his father wasn't into that kind of stuff. " I suppose I'm a pretty good cook too." He decided to add after a second of silence. One of Matt's favorite things to do was cook for people, and see how they reacted to it. He looked over and realized Sky had all of his attention on him, and blushed slightly, he wasn't sure how to feel about it. He hoped he had found a new friend in Sky.

"Ooh, you can cook." Skylar said as he smiled a bit and looked at him. "I can't, I always end up burning shit or it just tastes like shit." Sky then added. He was being honest, he couldn't cook for shit but he would like to be able to cook well. He loves pasta and wants to cook himself some, but he also likes it when people cook for him. "What's a dish that you like to make?" Sky then asked, interested in what Matt could cook. He likes a man who can cook, and he also likes a man who's on the artistic side, same with bookworms. Everything about Matt was screaming Sky's type, he loved it. Skylar kept his eyes on Matt, smiling to himself ever so slightly.

He pondered for a moment, deciding which dish he was going to bring up. Though all of hem were good, there was one he enjoyed the most, and the people who he made it for seemed to have the most praise for it to. " my favorite dish I make chicken fettuccine alfredo, I home make everything down to the noodles. But I love making just about anything. Whats your favorite food?" Matt wondered what type of food Sky was into, It really says a lot about people. He already knew he liked romance, which kind of led him to thinking he might like something french, Matt loved French food, but he would totally be down for Mexican food too. Matt took a moment to do a personal assessment on himself, he fixed his hair for the fifth time, fussed with how his shirt lay because it was touching his stomach in a way that made him feel self conscious, and fixed the way he was sitting to better orient himself towards Sky. He then placed all.his attention listening to what came next. Eager to memorize it and find a way too cook it for him. He loved to see peoples reacts to his food just as much as he loved reading or any of this other hobbies.

Sky's eyes lit up as soon as Matt mentioned pasta. Sky loves about any type of pasta. "I love pasta, Chicken Alfredo is one of my favourites, though I like it with shrimp too." Skylar said, growing excited as they talked about this topic. "Oh my god, now I'm hungry for some pasta. That's also so cool that you make it from scratch." Skylar then said. Another type of food Sky was pretty fond of was Mexican food, whether that be burritos, tacos, or tamales. Sky just loved food in general, although he tried not to eat too much. Sky watched slightly as the boy situated himself, it made him want to fix himself up but he knew he was probably okay. He felt some hair fall in front of his face so he pushed it behind his ear.

(Sorry this took me so long)

Matt was exited, he could finally share his love of cooking with someone at this school. Especially something he could cook well at that. He was already thinking if how to surprise him with the home cooked meal one day. He'd find him at lunch after keeping quiet about it second period and then sneak up behind him p, tap him on the shoulder, then present the food packaged nicely in a little container. " I'm so glad you share my taste in food. I make it mostly with chicken because I've never really cooked with shrimp." He watched as sky pushed some hair out of his face. Matt wondered about what Sky did for lunch and where he ate, if he had any friends he sat with. Sky seemed the type to have a few friends hanging around him at all times. Matt wanted to be one of those friends. He was eager for somewhere to belong to. Right now he felt out of place at this school and was looking for ways to fit in, but couldnt seem to find any. He looked up at the time thinking this class period felt way longer than usually and hoped the bell wouldn't cut their conversion short.

"well you should try it with shrimp." Sky recommended as he grabbed his phone. He checked the time and the period went by pretty quickly for Skylar since he had someone to talk to. The bell was going to ring in a couple minutes so Skylar got his bag ready and stood up. "I'll see ya around Matt." Sky said as he started walking to the front door. Most of the other students in the class started to pack up their things and wait at the door with Skylar. Once the teacher wasn't looking, Sky looked back at Matt and gave him a smirky smile before leaving quickly.

When class ended Matt was slightly disappointed, he now didn't have anyone to talk to for the rest of the day. He watched as Sky smiled at him, and promptly offered one back, along with a small wave in goodbye. Since it was lunch he decided he'd go have a look at what was for lunch. Then probably go to the library to read or simply find a place to spend his break. Matt quite liked Sky, and he want sure why. He hoped they would find some time to hang out and talk outside of second period. As Matt walked down to the lunch room we saw groups of friends. They all were laughing and talking amongst themselves. He saw a few couples, they seemed so happy, holding hands, walking, talking. He wished he had something like them, but knew he probably wasn't the likeable type around here. He admired how people found a way to make things work. Most of the benches and tables in the hallways were taken uop, we he decided to stay in the library again. Resuming his book right where he left off. But for once in Matt's life he was having a hard time focusing, his mind kept wandering back to first period.
