Now, to be fair, Matt had deserved everyone of the comments he'd received that morning. He'd known that he was playing with fire when he'd made that entry in his journal. He just hadn't expected things to escalate as much as they had.
How was he supposed to know that he had been flirting with Ellie's sister? If he had known, he wouldn't have done it. Ellie was definitely his choice out of that particular group of females. Even he wasn't stupid enough to think he could get them all into his bed.
As for him being upset about what had happened... he wasn't really. Not as much as one would think. He was bothered by the fact that Ellie was hurt and he was disappointed that his chance of getting another shot at Ellie had greatly decreased but he wasn't... depressed or anything.
Honestly, he didn't need cheering up at all. Which was obvious when he opened the door with a big bright smile on his face.
"Hey, Claudia! What are you doing here?"
He hadn't spotted the Fuji's yet but when he did, she was sure to become his best friend.
