In the summer of ‘76,, Matt meets a walking social disaster. In simpler terms.. a girl. I know. Matt Sturniolo and girls aren’t exactly a match made in heaven. But maybe this one is an exception?
Matt Sturniolo wasn’t a guy people noticed. He was the one on the edge of every conversation, hands shoved in his pockets, nodding along but never speaking. He existed in the background, the human equivalent of white noise, there, but never quite there. And he was okay with that.
But for some reason, ever since that day at the grocery store, he kept noticing her.
At first, it was just a passing thought. A flash of curls and big brown eyes somewhere in the back of his mind. Then, it was something worse, a weird, nagging feeling, like he was waiting for something. Like maybe he’d run into her again.
Except summer stretched long and hazy, and she didn’t show up anywhere. Not at the record store when he went with Nick. Not at Nate’s house, where the air was thick with the scent of weed and cheap cologne. Not even at the parties Chris dragged him to, where everyone blended together into a blur of voices and smoke and music that wasn’t as good as people thought it was.
So, he forgot. Mostly.
But then school started.
And there she was.
At first, it was just a glimpse in the hallway, like a trick of the light. Then he saw her again, on the front steps, in the cafeteria, at the lockers, in the exact wrong places at the wrong times. And every time, it was like some cosmic joke, like fate was dangling something just out of reach.
He didn’t approach her, of course. Matt Sturniolo did not approach girls.
Chris would. Chris could walk up to any girl, any time, and just talk. Didn’t matter who, didn’t matter where, he had a way of slipping into conversations like he belonged there.
Matt? He was lucky if he could get a sentence out without sounding like an idiot.
So he didn’t talk to her. He just… saw her. More than he should’ve.
It was starting to feel like some kind of setup.
Then came the next morning.
Chris had to go in early for tutoring, something about making up for skipping too many classes last year, so Matt got dragged along for the ride. The school was barely awake yet, the halls stretching empty and hollow.
With nothing else to do, he went to the cafeteria, figuring he’d sit there until people started showing up.
And that’s when he saw her.
She was standing in the breakfast line, her hair a little wilder than usual. She grabbed a little plastic bowl of Frosted Flakes and a carton of milk, shaking the box like she was testing how much was inside.
Matt didn’t mean to stare.
But she must’ve felt it, because right then, she looked up, straight at him.
And smiled.
It wasn’t just a polite smile, either. It was real, bright, warm, like she knew something he didn’t.
Then, before he could even think about looking away, she turned and walked right toward him.
Matt swallowed hard, his hands instinctively tucking into his hoodie pockets as she dropped into the seat across from him, setting her tray down with a little clack.
Matt stiffened, pulse kicking up, every instinct screaming at him to look away, act normal, pretend you weren’t staring like a freak.
“Hey,” she said casually, ripping the plastic lid off her cereal. “You always sit here?”
Matt blinked. He hadn’t expected her to actually talk to him.
He hesitated, then shook his head. “No. My brother had tutoring.”
She tilted her head. “Huh. Didn’t know they did tutoring this early.” Then she scooped up some cereal, chewing thoughtfully before glancing at him again. “You got a name, or should I just call you ‘guy who stares at me from across the room’?”
Matt felt heat creep up his neck. Great. She noticed.
“Sturniolo,” he muttered.
She raised an eyebrow. “That’s a mouthful.”
“Matt,” he amended.
She nodded approvingly. “Better.” Then, after a beat, she slid the bowl of cereal toward him. “Hold this for a sec? Gotta grab a napkin.”
And just like that, she was gone, leaving him sitting there, staring down at a bowl of soggy Frosted Flakes.
Matt exhaled, running a hand down his face.
This girl was gonna be a problem.
Matt sat stiffly, staring down at the bowl of Frosted Flakes like it was some kind of test. The milk was already turning sugary and pale, the cereal floating lazily on top. He didn’t dare touch it.
Across the cafeteria, she was rifling through the napkin dispenser, curls bouncing with every movement. Like she wasn’t even thinking about the fact that she’d just sat down with him. Like this wasn’t weird at all.
Matt felt his throat tighten.
She didn’t even know who he was. She probably sat down because he looked alone, and people like her had a way of making things less awkward for the ones who didn’t fit in. It didn’t mean anything.
So why was he sitting here like his entire morning had just been thrown off course?
Before he could think too much about it, she was back, napkin in hand, sliding into her seat like she belonged there. She pulled the cereal back in front of her, barely sparing him a glance before she dug in again.
“Thanks, Matt.”
His stomach did something weird at the way she said his name. Like it wasn’t a big deal. Like they’d always been friends.
He cleared his throat. “Uh, yeah. Sure.”
She grinned mid-bite, like she could hear the awkwardness in his voice.
“So, do you, like, not eat breakfast, or do you just enjoy staring at people while they eat?”
Matt frowned, crossing his arms. “I don’t stare.”
She lifted an eyebrow. “Mmm.”
“I don’t,” he insisted, but it came out weak, because, well… maybe he had been looking at her more than he should’ve.
She didn’t push it, just smirked like she knew something he didn’t. “Alright, not-staring-Matt, what’s your deal?”
He blinked. “What?”
“Like, what’s your thing?” she said, waving her spoon. “Everyone’s got something. You a football guy? A stoner? One of those weird band kids?”
Matt hesitated. He could’ve told her about movies, about the hours he spent watching and rewatching old foreign films no one else cared about. About the way music sounded different on vinyl, how he had a whole crate of records stacked in his room. But all of that felt… too personal.
So he just shrugged. “Dunno.”
She sighed dramatically. “God, you’re so cryptic.”
“I’m not cryptic,” he muttered.
“You totally are,” she said, shaking her head. “I bet you’re, like, the brooding type. Probably lean against lockers all mysterious, making girls wonder what your deal is.”
Matt rolled his eyes. “Yeah. That’s me. Real mysterious.”
She laughed, and Matt didn’t realize how much he liked the sound of it until it was already out there, loud and full and unfiltered.
For a second, they just sat there, her eating, him sitting there, unsure of why he wasn’t getting up, why he wasn’t saying something stupid to ruin the moment.
Then—
“Hey, there you are.”
Matt’s shoulders tensed as he heard Chris’s voice.
He turned to see his brother strolling toward the table, looking like he owned the place, because Chris always looked like that. His grayish-purple shirt was half unbuttoned, his dark hair tousled in that effortless way that made girls trip over themselves.
And, of course, he noticed her immediately.
Chris slid into the seat next to Matt, grinning lazily at her. “Hey. Who’s your friend?”
Matt opened his mouth to say I don’t know, but before he could, she answered for him.
“Sage.” She stuck out a hand. “And you must be the brother?”
Chris took her hand like he was some kind of movie star, shooting her the most flirty smile, which Matt knew all too well. “of course.”
Matt groaned, dropping his head into his hands.
He could already tell, this was about to get so much worse.

Okay I really like quen but um.. pokimane?? Dropouts?? Like she’s not beating the allegations I’m sorry I’m starting to think they’re true cause wtf do u mean POKIMANE like that is verrryyyyyyy weird behavior and I feel like no one cares because she’s fine. Like it’s getting weird to me.
Imagine gossip girl in the 70s. Like gossip girl wouldn’t be able to use phones or anything maybe it would be like a page on a teen magazine with a cute ass title page OMGG the style would be 10/10 I wanna write this so bad🙏🏽🎀
this is what happens when u trust an old man in the relationship... also that incest storyline when to nowhere or is it just me not thinking enough
No cause Rick pmo from the beginning LIKE HE DONT KNOW HOW TO SHOW LOVE AT ALL. This is why you don’t get with old ppl cause all of them spend their last days mad asf at the world for little to no reason. Everything was so rushed and it really irritated me and the incest storyline kinda felt unnecessary at the end of it’s just me??? Lochlans explanation for doing what he did didn’t seem valid or realistic in the slightest. They definitely could’ve added more to this because we all know Lochlan likes men but they didn’t say anything about that. Like they treated it like it wasn’t a big deal and I thought it would become way more important. I loved this season but the finale could’ve been two parts I feel
i gotta say that whatever happens in the white lotus finale it's that at least when people write lochlan fics they'll know is canon that he has a incest kink i- 🙃
Omg😭 not my baby💔💔💔💔💔
I’ve never realized how fine Ben Barnes was omg.. his accent when he played Prince caspian 😭🙏🏽
