Mattheo has been out of class for a good 10 minutes now. You assume he’s just skipping like usual.

But, to your surprise, when you walk out of class into the hallway to go to the bathroom, there he is. On the ground, sitting against a wall with his arms and head resting on the top of his knees.

His breathing is heavy and has the slightest tremble to it.

You’ve never seen him like this before, and it’s obvious that he’s hurt or something is going on because he has never acted like this.
