Mattheo was outside in the courtyard. He had his headphones on, watching people around him in silence. Well, judging, mostly.

You stood a few feet away, in silence. He recognized you from the halls, but he didn't know your name, and he didn't care. Despite the silence between you two, you could hear his music blasting through his headphones.

"I love the Smiths." You said, recognizing the band.

"Sorry?" He didn't hear you. He took one side of the headphones off, wanting to hear what you said.

"I said I love the Smiths." You repeated with a smile. His eyes softened, a small smile on his lips from the small amount of joy he felt by that simple statement.
