Though my eyes could see I still was a blindman,
Though my mind could think, I still was a mad man.
I can hear the voices when I'm dreaming,

ICanHearThemSay;;MathewLouisJohnson
Mathew sat in monotone silence, as his English class continued on, the teacher was reading Greek Mythology aloud, and the brunette found that he had little interest. Catching the timid glance of the shy girl seated near the back of the classroom beside him, he gave her a small smile, before returning his glance at the teacher. An inner boredom consuming him as he had been stuck in solitary- no, not solitary confinement. That was much much worse than what he was facing now. Instead, it was more like, well without a metaphor it could be described as mere boredom. "Mr. Johnson, would you like to read the next paragraph aloud for us please?" the teacher asked, with less patience than the words she had chosen let on.
"Hn," he scoffed, thinking to refuse her offer before deciding against it. He was too tired to run to the front of the class and strangle her, so with his teeth clenched together he spat out the next few words of the reading. Making Hades' proposal of love to Persephone sound like a threat of murder. The teacher no doubt noticed this, and glanced upwards with a petrifying glare, perhaps if it were a duel it would be a near even match as the strict teacher's voice whipped pout with a threatening crackle.
"Is there a problem Mr. Johnson?" she asked, raising a precarious brow.
"Other than my other distaste to the class, I suppose not," he replied, with an almost kind chuckle in return. The teacher was about to protest when the second bell rang for class, and he stood abruptly. "Ah, parting is such sweet sorrow," he called tossing a bag above his shoulder before pushing his chair cruelly against the wood of the desk, a loud screeching filling the room as the other students ignored the mood swings of the boy and evacuated the classroom. "Mr. Johnson! Another episode like this, and I swear you'll be looking at en expulsion!" she exclaimed, her anger clear in her voice, though her straight face only made the threat more threatening. And this was actually Mathew's better moods.
"Well, better than looking at you I hope?" he replied with exaggerated ease and nonchalance as he walked out the door, leaving the teacher to do . . . Whatever she was going to do. It wasn't that he had anything against her personally, he just didn't like the prospect of being second to anyone and in that sense, he didn't like the idea of being second best or not being in complete command. Reverse psychology worked on him like his absolute weakness. The class he was to have next was gym, which was skippable. And really, it more so seemed to be screaming to be skipped, when was Physical Education ever important anyhow? But then again, when was school either? Shoving both hands into his pockets, he dragged his feet across the tiled floor, before making his way outside of school. There was no where to go since they were situated on a desert island, so the brunette found himself kicking a piece of stray pavement, trying to find the edges of the island, hoping to sit on the coastal edge.
