Matt sat in the auditorium. High out of his mind. Alternative spinning and dancing to the ballet music around the auditorium put him in a trance.

Matt smiled unsure about his feelings towards A. Matt was still too young and immature to know that love and attraction was beyond physical appearance and gender.

He closed his eyes dozing off to sleep. Getting high always made him sleepy, especially due to how tired he was from all the homework the professors were giving out during this time.

He suddenly opened his eyes as he heard arguing in the distance.
He saw Alternative and Backup.
Well Backup yelling at Alternative something that Matt couldn't make out. He was high out of his mind.

"Hey, leave A alone," Matt said walking towards them.

For a second there was silence. A shocked expression on Alternative's face due to not noticing that Matt was in the auditorium too.

"How about you stay out of it...." Beyond told him.

Although Matt was someone who was considered tall for his age, Beyond was older and taller than him. The way Beyond's eyes looked at Matt unsettled the redhead.

"Matt, it's okay. Go to class," Alternative finally broke the silence and all Matt could process in his out of body experience, high out of his mind state was that A knew his name.

Matt didn't remember how but when he blinked again, he was already out of the dark auditorium and walking the bright Wammy's halls.

Everything was fine until Matt heard a blood curdling scream coming from the auditorium.

He quickly ran but the door was locked. He couldn't open it no matter how much he tried to push it open or kicked it.

"Leave Alternative alone!!" Matt screamed but no luck.

Matt finally began running in the Wammy's halls looking for help.

He finally bumped into an easy-going school security guard.

"B is hurting Alternative!!" Matt exclaimed trying to catch his breathe from all the running.

"What? Where are they??" The security guard asked.

"In the auditorium! I heard them arguing and A screaming!"

They both ran to the auditorium but the door wasn't locked anymore and the auditorium was completely empty.

"Matt," The security turned to look at Matt.

"I swear they were just here! I heard them!" Matt insisted.

"Lay off the drugs, kid," The security guard advised as he walked away. "They are starting to make you hallucinate."
