He slowly got up the courage to knock on the door to the classroom, the teacher got up to see who it was, and let him inside to the …
... Band room, yes that’s right Matt Stifler was joining the band for real this time. He walked to the front of the class room with the teacher. Everyone there was staring at him wondering why is he here? The band teacher then turned to the class and said “Today we have a new student joining us. Now normally we don’t allow students to join this class without taking band previous, I have however made an exception in Matt’s case as he came and auditioned for me. I have to say I was greatly impressed as I have never heard someone play Angel of Harlem on the bagpipes before.”
The class all looked at Matt, considering him and still wondering why he was there.
The teacher continued speaking saying that Matt wanted to tell them a few things, he then took a seat off to the side of the class room and motioned for Matt to come to the front.
Matt who was leaning on a shelf under the blackboard for support, slowly limped towards the teachers podium and put his bag and case down. He then looked towards the class and said “You’re probably wondering why I’m here, and I completely understand it, as I’m still trying to figure it out myself. I’m standing here before you a different Matt Stifler then the one you know. I’m standing here as Matt Stifler, not as “the Stifmister” or Steve Stifler’s little brother. First of all I want to tell you that I am really sorry for all the stupid things I have ever done to anyone in the past and I especially want to say I’m sorry for what I did at band camp. I also want to say that I don’t expect to be forgiven for it. After all I betrayed people I started to think of as friends. Yes I’m saying you were friends, but not in the same sense as my old friends who were friends of “the Stifmister” and not Matt. You guys on the other hand got to see part of what the real Matt Stifler is. At first I stated just pretending to fit in, just playing around with you guys to gain your trust. Then when Brandon Vandecamp accepted my challenge I thought I could just fool around and get him to think I wasn’t worth the effort and just quit. I ended up being wrong so I ran off at first I stated to pull out my bags to pack up to leave when I pulled out my bagpipes and thought maybe I can beat him with these.
He stopped speaking for a couple of minutes to readjust his position as his knee was sating to bother him. He looked around at everyone and they were all looking at him still puzzled to why he was here.
He continued “After I retuned from band camp I started looking through the hidden camera footage that I had on a portable hard drive, and I started to think about how you guys all trusted me and I broke that trust by shooting that shit, so I deleted it all. On the first day of class in September everyone asked me to see it and I told them that I deleted it. After that they stopped hanging around me and I found I was spending more time alone then I was used to. I started doing some soul searching and tried to find out who I really was. With the help of Mr. Levenstein and a psychiatrist I figured out that I am nothing like my older brother and that I was stupid to try and be like him. I realised that I never really had any true friends that I could talk to and tell them how I felt.”
Matt then looked at the class again some of them were shaking there heads or had looks of disgust on there faces. But there was one person that had what looked like a look of pity on her face. It was Elyse who walked over to him and handed him a tissue and said “here use this to dry your eyes.”
Then she did something that nether of them expected she hugged him. When the two of them separated everyone saw something that they had never seen before Matt Stifler smiling and not at some prank he had just pulled but smiling because he was happy. Happy to be accepted by someone in his life, which up until now had been pretty bad. They walked over to where the rest of the class was sitting, Matt caring his backpack and Elyse caring the case contained his bagpipes. Several people put up there hands as they all had questions for Matt.
