Qualities a Good Girl Lacks

Mya's P.O.V

I had finally broken into Matt's little group of friends,it wasn't very hard but it still took a little effort.They were a nice group and I recognized Tanner already,he was that goofy looking kid in my journalism class,and then I of course knew Matt so it wasn't awkward,and besides awkward isn't really my thing anyways. I'm glad that I finally found some people my age that I could possibly call friends,I never really had any friends that were girls except for one chick back in Cali,so this wasn't very different. Girls never really liked me I guess,they thought I was a whore despite my purity ring and made up their minds about me in one look. The only girl at school I even talk to is Cathy,she's become like an older sister to me and I really appreciate it.

It was Friday night so I was getting ready for my well earned concert with the guys. I was wearing black skinny's and a black and white crop top. Eddy is the only one with a car in the group so he's picking me up at six. I'm glad my parents are out of town again,they would kill me if they saw me getting into a car with Eddy.They're out of town more than they're at home so I basically do what ever I want,it's been that way since last year,but I don't mind as much as I should. Before they started going on these little trips we never really spent time together anyways so it wasn't like I was missing out on anything.

My cell phone buzzed,it was Matt telling me to come downstairs. I grabbed a few bracelets and went downstairs heading outside.Eddy had a decent car and I could see all of the guys piled up in the back seat. I opened the front door and sat down,securing my seat belt around me. The back seat contained Matt,Tanner,and Roger and of course Eddy was driving.

"So where is this concert?" I asked the car. Roger spoke up.

"They have a little concert hall down town, Dancing Funeral is playing tonight so there's bound to be a big turn out."

I nodded my head and just quietly listened to the conversations between the guys,they were pretty funny. Matt was being kind of quiet but that wasn't exactly out of character for him,from the short time that I've known him I can already tell that sometimes he's just quiet,nothing's wrong. Well at least that's what I think.

Matt's P.O.V

The car ride was going by slower than usual and I was anxious to get to the concert,I guess I kind of wanted to see how Mya acted in the environment. I wanted to know if this was her type of thing or not because I know it's mine. Friday nights are my favorite part of the week,I love concerts,the music,the atmosphere,it's just so fun and easy going.
We pulled into the small parking lot next to the brick building,music was already pouring from it. Dancing Funeral had a pop/punk type of sound that a lot of people in the area enjoyed so the place was filling quickly. We made it to the entrance of the building and entered.

"Matt,I want to go to the front!" Mya yelled over the music.

I nodded my head and told the guys.

"Alright!" I responded.

Mya took my hand tightly and gestured for me to start going, I felt my face flush red but I ignored it and started pushing through the crowd. After about two songs worth of pushing we made it to the very front. Mya smiled at me and gave me a quick hug before cheering loudly with the rest of the crowd. The band quickly went into the next song and Mya was loving it,you would think that she has been a fan for years the ways she was smiling and jumping around. The song ended and we all cheered and clapped loudly.

"Alright you guys,we need a pretty lady up here to sing this next song with us!" The lead singer said into the mike.

I immediately smiled and started shouting loudly pointing to Mya,the guys followed my lead. Mya was pushing us and yelling at us to shut our fucking mouths but it only made us get louder.

"What about you sweetheart?"The singer asked,pointing to Mya. She gave us dirty looks and shook her head.

"Trust me I'm anything but sweet."Mya retorted.The crowd 'oooohhh'ed,and the singer smiled.

"Well why don't you come up here anyways?" He laughed extending his hand to Mya.

She shrugged her shoulders and grabbed it,allowing him to pull her up onto the stage. I noticed that she still had on those black high heels that she wears to school every day. How did she manage to get up there with those on. I shrugged it off and watched her on stage. The singer was showing her a paper and explaining something quietly,Mya was nodding her head and smirking.

They started the song but I couldn't listen,all I could do is watch Mya walk around that stage like she owned it,when her part came up and she started to sing everyone screamed wildly,she was amazing. I wasn't even focusing on the words coming out of her mouth I was just sort of staring up at her. She finished up the song and I felt a pang of jealousy when the singer kissed her cheek and whispered something to her. She nodded and jumped off of the stage,basically tackling me to the floor.

"Sorry Matty!" She laughed,standing upright.

"It's fine,you did great." I laughed, and blushed when I realized that my arms were wrapped around her waist.

I went to pull them away but right before I did Mya just put her arms on mine and held them there,facing the stage as the band went into a slower song. Even in her heels I could still see over her head as we swayed to the music. I couldn't help but ruin the moment by thinking about what it meant. Instead of enjoying the fact that I was holding a beautiful girl in my arms I just kept wondering if this meant that she liked me the way that I knew that I liked her. I looked at her smiling face as she cheered when they finished the song.
People started to file out but when I turned around to head towards the door Mya stopped me.

"Eric invited us backstage." Mya said,I assumed she was talking about the singer and nodded.

I told the guys and we followed Mya to the area behind the small stage.

Mya's P.O.V

I walked backstage and immediately saw Eric chatting with the manager. I let the guys continue on and stopped to talk to Eric.

"Hey." I said,He turned and saw me.

"Oh,hi! Mya right?"

"That's me."

"You did really great up there." He laughed.

"Thanks,you guys were really good."

"Thanks it means a lot. I've never seen you here before are you new?"

"Yeah,just moved in last week actually." I responded.

"Last week?" He asked,smirking.

"Yeah...why does that amuse you?" I asked,confused.

"Well you've been here a week and you already have a group of boys following you around." He chuckled, gesturing to Matt, Eddy, and Roger.

"Yeah,that's how I roll." I joked.

"Any of those guys your boyfriend?" He smirked.

Agh! I thought we were going to be friends Eric? I might sound annoying when I say this but I honestly don't like being hit on when I'm trying to have a normal conversation with someone. It's annoying and I don't find it cute. I saw Matt standing about six feet away.

"Um yeah,that one." I said pointing to Matt.

"I don't believe you." He laughed,shaking his head.

"And why the hell not?" I asked,crossing my arms.

"Because if you were his girlfriend I'm pretty sure he would be keeping a better eye on a girl like you."

"A girl like me?" I asked,offended.

"A girl like you." He said,not offering any explanation.

"Well he is,so I don't care weather or not you believe me." I said.

"Hey man,come here." He said loudly,gesturing to Matt.

"What are you doing!?" I whispered loudly.

"I said I didn't believe you,so I'm giving you the chance to show me up." He said,a knowing smile on his face.

I looked at him with my best death glare,Matt walked over.

"What's up?" He asked,looking from me to him.

"Mya over here says that your her boyfriend,is that true?" Eric asked.

Matt looked at me confused and I tried to tell him with my eyes to just agree.

"Uh...yeah. That's my girl right there.Mya...my girlfriend." He said awkwardly.

"Oh..." Eric said,obviously upset that he was wrong,he looked like he felt really awkward and I couldn't help but giggle,"Nice meeting you dude,uh...she's a cool chick." He said, patting Matt on the shoulder and slowly walking away.

Once he was out of ear shot I hugged Matt tightly and whispered,

"Thanks Matty,you saved me just now."

"No problem,do you mind explaining though?"

"I'd rather not."

"Uh,alright then."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Eddy drove me home and had Tanner walk me to the door,I laughed to myself that they thought I needed someone to make sure I didn't get raped the whole fifteen feet to my front door. I had a lot of fun tonight, and as much as I wanted to stay away from boys I think I'm starting to like Matt. I mean it's a definite maybe,the way he held me tonight and how quick he was to help me out of jam with no explanation,I liked it. But I don't know,I might just be confusing my feeling towards him as a friend with romantic ones...I tend to do that. Besides I don't think Matt likes me like that and I don't want to ruin what could be a beautiful friendship over my confusion about my feelings for him,it's just not worth it.
