Over sixteen years ago when young Matthew was fifteen years old and Katherine was twelve, the two had been friends for almost a decade. They spent a lot of time together as they went to the same schools and saw each other almost everyday.
Katherine had the hugest crush on him. She was an only child and so was Matthew. He had looked out for her ever since.
Matthew used to go home with Katherine and spend a couple of hours in her house while waiting for his mother to pick him up. They would do homework—he would help her with Math and she would help him with whatever project he needed to do. Until one time, he stopped going home with her and gave excuses.
