The bell rang for 8th period to be over. Mat grabbed his stuff and walked to the door.

"Goodbye Mr. Red," he called.

"Goodbye Matthew!"

Mat ran to Ms. Green's classroom. 

"Where's Nate?" He questioned the teacher.

"He went to the restroom."

Mat ran to the restroom, where Nate was staring at the mirror over the sink. He placed a hand on Nate's shoulder.

"Nate?"

"Get away from me!" He snapped, his eyes filled with fear, and a little insanity.

"Nate, it's me, Mat." Mat said calmly as he could.

Nate's breathing steadied. "Mat? Oh my god, I am so sorry!"

"It's fine. What happened?"

"I don't know."

His body jerked and he grabbed his head. "This is not your body!" He yelled.

Mat took a step back. What the heck?

He grabbed Nate's shoulders. Nate's eyes met his. 

"You are Nathan Sharp." He said. "My boyfriend. You are in control of your body, and no one else wants to control it."

Mat wasn't sure where those words came from, but they seemed to work.

Nate's body relaxed. "Thanks, Mat." He said.

"You're welcome, Nate."
