Hello! Thanks for reading ^^

Warning! There are a couple of OC characters in this story, Michigan's LP and UP, who may be using some words, phrases, or stories that don't really make much sense. But there will be handy notes to translate these bits of gibberish!

Just wanted to also say thanks to Glowstick145 for the inspiration!


Matthew glanced up at the clock. Ugh, there was still a half hour left until class was over. Glancing around the room, he noticed most off his classmates had fallen into the same stupor. He started to doodle absentmindedly on the corner of his notes to pass the time. His neighbor on the right, Arthur, had lost interest in the lesson and had started watching Matt instead.

"You're a pretty good artist, Matt." Arthur said. Matthew jumped slightly in his seat. He hadn't realized he was being watched.

"Oh, um, t-thanks." His face turned pink. He quickly folded up the notes and stuffed them back into his notebook. The drawing had been a rose, with intricate vines running across the top and down the right side of the paper. Not something he really wanted to be caught drawing. Matthew buried his face in his arms, trying not to feel embarrassed.

A girl in the back of the room giggled. She had seen that. A devious smirk tugged at the corner of her mouth as a plan started to formulate in her head.


Katie searched the sea of students flowing into the cafeteria for her brother. She spotted him seated at one of the round tables by the windows, then dashed over and shouted excitedly, "Jack! I know what we should do for Matt!"

"Huh?" he said, taking a quick sip of his pop.

"You know how Matt has been feeling a little down lately? I think I've figured out something that could cheer him up!" She tossed her stuff next to her brother's and then sat down across from him.

"Okay, let me hear it." He replied. Katie stuck her hand in her bag briefly and pulled out her cell phone. She quickly opened up her pictures and held the phone across the table so Jack could see. There were two boys in the picture, one was Matt and the other was an emerald-eyed blonde. Matt looked a little nervous, as usual, but his face was beet red. The other blonde in the picture seemed relaxed, and a small smile played on his lips. "Who's that?"

"This guy is Arthur." Katie said, pointing to the blonde. "I know Matt's had a little bit of a crush on him for a while. We should set them up!"

"Katie."

"Okay, that sounded bad. How about 'get them together'?"

"That's the same thing."

"You get my point! I want to try to get them together because I know how happy it would make Matt." Katie and her brother have lived close to and have been good friends with Matt ever since they were little. It was only natural that she wanted her friend to be happy. "Will you help me?"

Jack stared at Katie, scrutinizing her features. After a few moments, he said, "…fine. But only for Matt."

"Thank you!" Katie jumped across the table, knocking over Jack's drink, and pulled him into a hug.

"You better be buying me another one of those."
