It had been 5 days since the group went to the beach, Chris and Laylah had been FaceTiming every day at night and in the morning. It was clear that Chris was putting the effort in to try and talk to Laylah as much as possible which the girls found admirable.
As opposed to Matt who appeared to have forgotten about that night. Venus would wake up and hope throughout the day she would get a notification and it would finally be him. She grew self conscious and had gotten past the point of overthinking the entire situation. She was driving herself crazy, every thought she had was Matt. She didn't understand why he wouldn't talk to her.
Matt POV
After that night all Matt could think about was Venus and how he liked everything about her. He thought about how she smelled like purple flowers, how when they hung out he seemed to always want to be near her, how her hand always somehow made its way to his hair when they sat to watch movies. He thought he sounded like someone in those cheesy romance movies Venus loved to watch like The Notebook and he hated it. He believed he should stay just friends for the sake of the friendship group for if he was to act on his feelings and it didn't work out, the friendship group would be split in two. This mindset obviously didn't make sense as Chris and Laylah had a thing going on but he chose to ignore the logic.
Besides, he thought, there were plenty of other pretty girls in his dms that he could move to. He knew he had to text Venus but the thought was even awkward to him; airing Venus was the best way to get the message across no matter how wrong it felt.
Matt's is a self sabotager

mission was unsuccessful
Nooo what happened
I tried to talk to him again but he just said he was going out and then left the room
He didn't answer any of my questions about you either you know how stubborn he gets
He's going out? with who?
idk he didn't say
i think we should just give him space we don't know if something happened
yeah true
i just hope it doesn't take long
he's literally my best friend all feelings aside and it feels strange to literally be apart from him for even a day without texting
i'm attached 😩
