This story takes place after American Pie presents Band Camp. Matt Stifler is now in his senior and final year at East Great Fall High.
It was the start of the second semester at East Great Falls High and Matt was limping into his first class. Why was he limping you may ask, well that was because in the last few weeks of the football season he injured his right knee, and really stupidly continued to play on it. Just before the playoffs began his mother had noticed it and instead that she take him to the hospital to get it looked at. He had x – rays done of it but they found nothing seriously wrong at that point. They just told him to ice it and wrap it with a tensor bandage. He of course did this but at the same time continued to play on it. On the last play of the championship game he really messed it up bad when he dove into the end zone to make a two point conversion; he felt something inside his knee pop and was in intense pain. It was now about three weeks since it happened the swelling had gone down a lot but he was still in a lot of pain. At least he had an MRI scheduled a few hours after school let out and he would finally find out what he had done to his knee.
Other then the limp there was something else different about Matt; he no longer had his entourage of football players and cheerleaders with him. True he had helped East Great Falls High win the championship but his "friends" were no longer speaking to him after he told them he deleted the hidden camera footage from band camp. They had left him because he had a change in heart. The last couple of months had been really hard for him as he literally had no one to talk to as he soon found out he never had any "real friends" in high school. He became really depressed and spent a lot of time alone. He eventually got so depressed that he looked up Mr. Levenstein in the phone book just to talk to someone, he was extremely nice to him even after all the crap he had to put up with him at band camp that summer. He even helped him find a psychiatrist to talk to, which Matt found really helpful.
When he had first gone to the psychiatrist he told him about how ever since he started high school he had been a real asshole to people because everyone there just thought of him being Steve Stifler's little brother, he was never just Matt to anyone. He could never be himself with any of his friends. He felt that he had never been himself since his dad left when he was 12 (authors note they never state in any of the movies when the Stiflers got divorced). He also told him that he had begun a downward spiral to become something that he ended up hating, he became like his older brother. Sure it was fun at first talking dirty to his friends and telling them really nasty stories, but when it got to the point of putting others down he eventually got completely disgusted about it. He said that he could probably trace his change of person back to when he was in grade 8 when Steve and his friends showed up at a school concert and laughed at him while he played the bag pipes. After that he gave up playing them in public, when he went to high school part of him wanted to join the band, but every time he thought about joining it and taking band class he heard his brother's voice saying "band is for pussies". He had never really thought about how other people thought about him and his brother, until Mr. Levenstein had told him that "Steve's friends had never really liked him all that much", until that moment Matt had always idolised Steve and wanted to be exactly like him. He thought about how stupid he had been trying to shoot a porno at band camp just to impress the asshole that was is brother. He actually broke down and started crying in the psychiatrist's office.
Any way it was a new semester and time for the world to see just who Matt Stifler really was, to show them that he was not the little Stifmister. He wanted to leave that ass hole behind him, and start a clean slate which wouldn't be to easy for him as he had developed quite the reputation in school. He needed to prove to himself that he didn't have to live in his brother's shadow anymore, after all he was more then just Steve Stifler's little brother he was Matt Stifler. He walked slowly to his first class of the day with his backpack slung over his shoulders and carrying a medium sized case with him. He was about 5 minutes late for class but that was ok as he had been in the guidance office finalizing the changes to his timetable. He slowly got up the courage to knock on the door to the classroom, the teacher got up to see who it was, and let him inside to the…
