Have you ever wondered what it would feel like to be totally invisible? Well Matthew Williams certainly didn't. Or at least he didn't have to wonder. It seemed like the whole world didn't know he even existed. Except for his three brothers: Alfred, his "older brother" by a minute and twenty seven seconds, Francis who was nineteen and had graduated high school last year, and then there was Arthur. He was actually adopted from England at the age of nine, a year before Francis was born,and felt more like a parent to them, even more than both their actual ones put together. But even they sometimes didn't realize he was there. He usually didn't mind being invisible, it was a lot better than the other boys trying to pick a fight with him like they used to. But sometimes he'd get lonely. During those times he would go off and find a nice quiet corner where he could read his romance books and imagine himself and a special someone in those scenarios. There was one other person who would some times notice Matthew's existence and he would usually be the occupants of his thoughts.
"Come on Principle P. this is so not fair." speak of the devil. "I already speak two languages, why do I have to know a third?"
"Mr. Beilschmidt, you have know both english and german since birth. The school requires you to learn a new language for you to graduate."
Matthew was surprised. He had known that Gilbert failed a class last year and that was why he couldn't graduate. He was secretly pleased about this, it meant that Matthew had one more year to admire him from afar, before Gilbert went off to live his awesome life. But Matthew didn't know that it was french he had failed.
"What am I gonna do? I suck at french. I don't even know all the basics. How am I gonna pass four years worth of french in one?"
"I suggest you find yourself a tutor, Mr. Beilschmidt." with that the principle turned and walked away without another word.
The german groaned. "Where the hell am I gonna find someone willing to tutor me?"
At this Matthew had a brilliant idea. He was amazing at french. His elder brothers would teach it to him as soon as they had learnt something new.
"Je pourrais vous aider." he said standing behind the older boy.
Gilbert obviously didn't notice Mathew standing behind him, considering how he jumped five meters. He turned around with a shocked expression, then his face relaxed as soon as he saw it was just Matthew.
"Oh Matthew, hey. Ah … what did you just say just now?"
"I-I said that I could help you. W-with your french I m-mean." at this the germans face broke into a smile.
"Matty, that would be awesome!" he said, hugging the surprised blond. Matthew thought he was going to explode.
"U-um I t-take that as a y-yes?"
"Yes! Oh god, thanks Matty! Your a life saver!"
