Hahaha...this is definitely not a new fic-

Oh who am I kidding- This is totally a new fic, this reaction fic is based off the book The House of the Scorpion, I'm having the Lost boys (If you read the book you know who they are) react to Matt's past all the way up till he meets them and then stopping there, because anything past chapter 26 The Lost Boys will be considered the future, They will all come from a time period during the chapters following 26, but as for Matt he will come from chapter 6 El Patron, but in my AU Rosa actually made work of her threats and beat Matt so he will have more scars, but im not changing the dialogue in the book (expect for a few lines in chap 30 pg: 303), it's just something that happened in the background, the lost boys will take notice of these scars and comfort Matt, because honestly that boy needs some therapy badly...

I hope you enjoy this fic and please put in your own little headcanons so I could use them, but please enjoy!

(6/11-12/2024: IGNORE THE PARTS WHERE I EXPLAINED THE CHAPTERS THEY CAME FROM! AND MAINLY THE PART WHEN CHACHO NOTICED TAN-TAN AND CHILD MATT, ITS WRONG AND I DON'T HAVE TIME TO FIX IT! TIME LINE EXPLAINED IN CHAPTER TWO!)

《Chap 30 pg: 303, word for word expect after lines "No matter how much he wanted to resist Jorge's authority he couldn't do it at the little boy's expense." and "And I left water running in the kitchen sink." 》

"A beating would kill him," said Matt.

"No one is too little to learn the value of education," Jorge said "Why, even child kings used to be thrashed until they learned nit to cry at public meeting --as young as six months of age."

He's got me, thought Matt. No matter how much he wanted to resist Jorge's authority he couldn't do it at the little boy's expense. And he could take a beating, whats one more to the list..

"Very well, I confess," said Matt. "I dropped the soap in the shower and didn't pick it up again. I threw away the porridge because there was a stinkbug in it."

"And?" the Keeper (Jorge) said pleasantly.

"I peed in a shrimp tank --don't ask me which one. I don't remember. And I left water running in the kitchen sink."

"Take off your shirt and assume the position."

Matt felt shame rise in him, he did well to hide them in the showers cause of the soap, but there was no way he could hide it now, he took off the brown shirt and tied it around his waist, hating himself for it, but hating the Keeper even more.

He heard the room became deathly silent as he finished wrapping his shirt around his waist, he caught some boys gaze's --mainly Chacho's and Fidelito's-- he saw the pain and guilt in there eyes as they looked upon the many scars littering his torso which were a shade lighter then his skin tone, he heard Jorge suck in a breath though his teeth --he felt a small drop of pride boil inside of him when he heard it--.

"..Well looks like the aristocratic is already used to being educated.." said Jorge as he gripped the cane tighter

Matt braced himself for the first strick but a white light flooded his vision, he blacked out and felt his back hit hard wood floor --that didn't bring back good memories at all--

Chacho winced slightly as he got up from the cold hard ground, he brought himself up into a crouching position and rubbed his eyes to hopefully clear his vision, once he succeed in that task he saw Fidelito was also there and sitting up, Tan-Tan --who he hadn't seen since last night when he took a beating..-- whose wounds were completely healed, Flaco --another Lost boy who they were becoming friends with--, and last and if onky they weren't last, three Keepers, specifically, Raul, Carlos, and fucking Jorge.., he grit his teeth in anger.

He looked over to Fidelito and saw there was a piece of paper in hand, he saw him furrow his brows in anger and confusion.

Chacho took it as an opportunity to walk towards him, when Fidelito saw him walk over he held out the piece of paper which appeared to a note left by someone previously, he grabbed it and read what was on there aloud slightly

Dear, Lost boys, Keepers,and Matt --who was Matt? Is there another Matt? Chacho thought before he continued reading-- I apologize for the kidnapping beforehand, but what you are about to watch are very important pieces of information you should know about your friend Matt, --That Matt! Chacho realized-- not every sliver of information about his past he's told you is true, but I will give you the truth, there is no avoiding this and the videos will begin once everyone is sitting down on the aranged seats I have placed out, the video will pause once someone asks a question, a note will appear with the answer to the question, please don't overwhelm Matt with questions since he is being brought from the worst moments of his life sadly..

Sincerely, Creator.

He looked up from the note and looked around the room once more and such enough he saw a sickly young looking boy with scars fresh and old littering his arms, chest, and legs, he immediately asumed that was Matt since the scars looked exactly like the ones he saw last night..

Oh how he wondered what happened to him...
