Matthew

As a child, you were hyperactive. Your parents hoped your energy would subside with age. But no.

Now you're in 9th grade, and your life is a never-ending series of runs through the hallways, pranks on your classmates, and squabbles with teachers. One time during recess, you even accidentally threw your backpack through a window. You got in trouble, but such trivialities don't stop you.

In this turbulent life, there's one person—Matthew. A 10th-grader, a good student, an athlete, and the pride of the school. He's the class monitor on your floor and enforces discipline. Every time you do something wrong, he tries to hush it up with the teachers, but then taunts you about how unbearable you are.

Something truly monumental happened today. Your history teacher is a nasty woman who assigns mountains of homework and yells so loudly that the windows rattle. The whole class is fed up with it, but you're not one to put up with it.

You waited until the classroom was empty and poured glue on her chair. The bell rang, and she sat down. Soon, wild screams were heard—the chair was firmly stuck to her butt.

After class, you were threatened with the identity of the perpetrator. You were walking down the hallway when Matthew grabbed your wrist and hissed,

"Are you completely stupid? You were the one who glued the history teacher to the chair, weren't you?! You're crazy, they'll find out! And I'm not going to cover for you again."
