"YOU!"
Matthew spun round to see a finger pointing directly between his eyes. This was more than a little strange for Matthew, he was never normally spotted by anyone in this god awful high school.
"PREPARE TO HAVE YOUR SPOTLIGHT STOLEN ALFRED JONES!" The kid cackled and Matthew sighed, this was always happening. It wasn't a normal day in his high school life until he was mistaken for his star quarterback twin brother.
"Actually…I'm Matthew…" Matthew sighed, looking away from the white haired kid and back down at his book. "Alfred is my brother…He's probably at football practice or something…"
"Who? Wait you're not Alfred? Shit." The white haired kid sighed and plunked himself down in the chair next to Matthew. "So who are you?"

"Matthew."

"What?"

"Matthew!"

"I'll call you syrup." He grinned at Matt.
"S-Syrup…?"
"Yeah. Your hair is kinda like…syrupy coloured. And I'm not sure if it's coming from you but I totally smell maple syrup!"
Matthew was beginning to think this kid wasn't the brightest.

"Kid. Aren't you guna like…freak out?" Gilbert leaned back in his chair with a smirk.
"Why…? Because you're albino? I've seen an albino before." Matthew said softly.
"Hey albinos are freaking AWESOME! But no…If you haven't noticed. I'm Gilbert Beilschmidt." Gilbert smirked, waiting for Matthew's reaction.
"Alright. I'm Matthew Williams."
Gilbert blinked a few times as Matthew went back to reading his book. Matthew came to the library during his lunches for peace and quiet. This new kid was not making things easy for him.
"You've…never heard of me?" Gilbert raised an eyebrow.
"Uhm…I don't think so. You did say you were new here. I don't really like to get into other peoples business." Matthew said quietly, not looking up from his book.
"Oh. Sorry for bugging you with my awesomeness there syrup. I'll go now." Gilbert grinned and sprang up to leave. Matthew sighed, well that was weird. The name Beilschimidt did sound familiar, but he didn't really know or care why. Matthew had always stuck to himself. He never had many friends except for his brother and people who were close enough with his brother to tell them apart. He had even taken a different last name than Alfred to stop people getting confused between them. Alfred had taken their Dad's last name, Matthew took their Mom's, making them Alfred Jones and Matthew Williams. Yet people were still constantly unable to tell the difference. Matthew didn't care too much. But sometimes he thought it would be nice to have at least one friend…

This was it. Today was Gilbert's first day in a new high school in a new city. It was senior year and he was going to make the most of it. He had just moved from Germany with his whole family to New York. Back in Germany they were pretty famous. His mom was a singer, his dad a powerful business executive. Even his little brother Ludwig was in the spotlight. He was an absolute genius, athletic, good looking, on the road to serious success in pretty much every department. And then there was Gilbert. Not particularly smart, not overly good looking, no over whelming talent of any kind. He was often forgotten about, which wasn't fair at all, He was freaking awesome after all!
As Gilbert stepped into the halls of his new school, he remembered the parting words of his 2 best friends, Francis and Antonio.

"Now remember amigo. Go in there, find the most popular person and be better than him."
"He's not going to prison Toni! Mon cher you must befriend the popular people! Talk to them about something cool like fashion!"

Gilbert chuckled to himself, making friends was so not awesome. He had to outshine the most popular person in the school. Then he would get noticed. Gilbert was going to be the biggest star in New York. He was too awesome not to be.
"You there! Who is the most popular person in this joint?" Gilbert grabbed a little Italian kid with a ridiculous curl sticking out of the side of his head.
"Oh! Alfred Jones! He's so cool! He's a senior and the quarterback and all of the cheerleaders love him and sometimes he shares his lunch with me and he's really funny and nice and loud! He disappears sometimes and no one really knows where he goes but that's ok he must just want to get away from all of the cheerleaders! Hey are you new here? I'm Feliciano! But my friends call me Feli! Do you wana be my friend? What's your name!?" Feli grinned.
"I'm awesome Gilbert! Where can I find Alfred?"
"Alfred? I think I saw him in the library…He's got glasses and blondish hair and blue eyes and always wears this weird bomber jacket thingy! He says he wears it because 'freedom'! Whatever that means!"
Without another word Gilbert headed to the library, he quickly spotted the person Feli had described and went over to him.
"YOU!" He pointed at the kid, he looked up and Gilbert immediately noticed that this kid had a violet tint to his eyes. They weren't blue. Maybe Feli made a mistake. This had to be him.
"PREPARE TO HAVE YOUR SPOTLIGHT STOLEN ALFRED JONES!" It was then that Gilbert noticed that the kid was wearing a dull blue hoodie with a maple leaf on it, not a bomber jacket.
The kid just sighed and explained he wasn't Alfred, but his brother. Gilbert collapsed into the chair next to him. Fuck. He'd picked the quietest kid probably in the whole school, this was not at all going to get him famous.

"I'm Gilbert Beilschmidt!" Gilbert grinned, figuring he might as well start spreading his name around somewhere.
"Alright. I'm Matthew Williams." That's all Matthew said before going back to reading his book. Gilbert was in shock, normally people didn't know who he was but 90% of people knew the name Beilschmidt. But this kid didn't. He was different; Gilbert smiled a little, said goodbye and left. He had met someone who wasn't in love with his brother.
"Matthew Williams huh…" Gilbert murmured to himself as he left the library.
