Zander Hale Mattheson || Zane or Hale || 16 || May 22nd || Bi-curious || Orlando, Florida
He thinks he killed his parents, blaming himself almost completely for their death. It devastated him after their death, and he hasn't really ever been able to cope to well with their death. After their death he lived with his grandparent's who tried to help him through his devastated state. To his grandparent's it seems to have worked though he has just been keeping this happy façade so that no one knew how depressed he was and how much he blamed himself for what happened to his parent's.

Even if a lot has happened in Zander's life that may leave him hopeless you won't see this depressed boy. He knows how to hide that kind of façade and refuses to show it to anyone because he hates when people give him this kind of sympathy that he just doesn't want. In front of people he can be seen as this male who just loves to joke around and act as entertaining as possible. He loves to see people smile even if he isn't smiling himself. When things get tense he knows how to joke around and make people feel good about themselves. He is caring he is always trying to cheer people up when they are down or even if they are just feeling slightly under the weather. This cheerful boy rarely ever seems like he is under the weather or isn't in the mood to do things that his friends may want to do. Another detail is that he is protective when it comes to those he cares about. He knows how to put his foot down when he doesn't think something is right and when someone is pushing around someone he cares about. He will stand up for those that he loves and rarely ever does he cower out if he is sticking up for someone he loves/cares about.
During the times that he is not up to being around his friend's he is suddenly quite the artistic , creative individual who is always thinking up of stuff to paint. Around most of his rooms are paintings that are finished and he doesn't know what to do with while others may be drying and finally one that he may be completing at the moment. Most of the paintings that he does are pastel paintings and the canvases usually range from small, medium, large to extra large but he rarely ever uses extra large canvases unless for a specific reason. Don't take it the wrong way that panting's are just sprawled willy-nilly though because he is actually quite the neat person. Usually he has spots for these paintings so that they are not just all over the place and sprawled all across his room. As well you must know that he is also handy and good at self management. He knows how to take care of himself and does a good job at fixing things that he thinks may need to be fixed so that he can take care of himself because usually he is pretty reluctant on asking for help unless he really thinks he needs is.
Finally the last few details you should know is how he feels some times deep down and how he acts when those deep down feelings finally emerge. Deep down he is seen as slightly over emotional. When he falls into one of his depressed days almost even the littlest of things makes him sad and want to cry. Even if he tries his best to be strong there are those times when guilt rushes over him and a few tears slip out. His has this huge heart which means he cares just about everyone unless you have done something really wrong for him to dislike you. When people are hurting he can be seen as this person who jumps into this nurturing stage where he tries to take care of him. Don't get him wrong he isn't all rainbows and butterflies because there are a few times where his nurturing behavior and his huge heart temporarily goes away when he seems to randomly go into this absent minded stage. He doesn't think he kind of just stares at something as if dazing off into another world while forgetting what he was just going to do. Sure its odd but it is what happens until he is snapped out of the daze this is when he apologizes for dazing off and suddenly he becomes a little more attentive then he was just a few seconds ago.

Zander Hale Mattheson, age sixteen who was born to Anita Mattheson and Justin Mattheson. To him they were the perfect parents they gave him almost everything he could ever want. He became a snobby kid because of him being able to get what ever he wanted. He didn't care what his parent's said because he got what he wanted when ever he wanted it. His family consisted just of his parent's and their parent's and nothing more. He was and has always been an only child.
Anyways, nothing too big happened up until age 6 after being a few years into school he was already being bullied by kids. It hurt yeah because he was being bullied for being so creative and expressing himself. He got mad and to make him feel better his parent's would buy him these things that he wanted such as painting items, a dog, and even his own hammock because he wanted it. They gave him what he wanted and didn't dare to say no because he was their only baby due to the fact that his mother was no longer able to have babies because of an incident that had happened. He was basically a miracle baby because his mother wasn't even supposed to be able to get pregnant but she did. After he was born they treated him like a prince.
The bullying went on until he was about 13 though he didn't seem to care to much that people were bullying him. He hid that fact that it hurt him to be bullied but after a while he learned to live with it. one day something he did changed his life though when he decided to stay home because he refused to go to the store with his parent's. He didn't want to be there with them, saying a few terrible things to them that one day he'd wish he could take back. It hurt them he could tell it but he swiped the feeling away with a simple I love you. And he did love them, he grabbed them, hugging them tightly right before begging for them to get him something from the store that he didn't necessarily need. With that his parent's left him at home by himself, little did he know that it would be the last time he saw them. Before they left he was so demanding and afterwards he felt terrible. By hopping in the shower about 15 minutes after they had left he hadn't heard the phone ring so when he got out of the shower he saw someone had called. It was an unknown number and when he heard someone pull up he didn't know what to think because he was still wrapped up in his towel.
While panicking slightly when he saw a car outside his house and the two people in the car were soon enough walking up to his front door he didn't know what to do. He darted around his house, at least throwing on a pair of boxers and some shorts before he answered the door. When he answered the door he noticed it was his grandparent's, asking what was wrong and why his grandmother was crying they answered that his parent's were in a car wreck and that they were at the hospital. That same night his father passed away while his mother fought for her life for a few weeks before passing away. This devastated him because he didn't think it would ever happen. He hated it and didn't want this at all. He hated himself and blamed himself for his parent's death because he believed it would have never happened if he hadn't asked them to get him something. His parent's death wasn't his fault but of course like most kids he blamed himself for it and continues to blame himself.
After that he moved in with his parent's spending he rest of his years there with his grandparents and being just a complete wreck. He was always devastated and like any other grandparent would they tried to comfort him as much as they could. A year later he finally discovered a way to just block how he was feeling, pushing it deep down so he could look like he was okay even if he was anything but okay. Things slowly fell into place, he worked hard in school still as if trying to attempt the parents that were no longer there and he was now changing his way. No longer was he being snobby and hurtful to others now he was trying his best to be the best he could for his parents which he hoped were watching over him some where. At 15 he was sent off to Everest Hill Preparatory Academy after his grandparent's from both sides of his family collected enough money to do as much school there as he possibly could. This was also where he tried his best and hide his real feelings.
Currently he hides how he feels and works hard in school when he can. He doesn't take anything for advantage and does his best to make people feel as welcome as possible. He is always entertaining and loves to make people smile when he can. He also some times has small panic attacks due to the fact that after his parent's death he couldn't get over anything. He would have random panic attacks that slowed down slightly as he grew older. He still blames himself for his parent's death even if several people told him that he shouldn't blame himself and that he should learn how to slowly get over it.
