'''Matteusz Andrzejewski''' (born [[1999]]) was a student at [[Coal Hill Academy]] in [[2016]]. He was [[gay]] and as a result, experienced conflict with his deeply religious [[Poland|Polish]] parents, although he was close to [[Matteusz's babcia|his grandmother]], who called him "Matti".


He survived the [[Shadow Kin]] attack on the night of the prom, and was among the few students who met the [[Twelfth Doctor]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[For Tonight We Might Die (TV story)|For Tonight We Might Die]]'')
After his parents threw him out when he started dating [[Charlie Smith]], he lived with Charlie and [[Andrea Quill]] at [[1 Wellington Road]], [[London]], N1 0HR.


According to Charlie, Matteusz was grounded when a [[skin-peeling dragon|dragon monster]] was attacking [[Coal Hill School|the school]]. ([[The Coach with the Dragon Tattoo (TV story)|TV: ''The Coach with the Dragon Tattoo'']])
== Biography ==
When he began learning [[English language|English]], he would read books in the language, including a book about a place called [[Narnia]], at [[Matteusz Andrzejewski's mother|his mother]]'s suggestion. ([[TV]]: ''[[Detained (TV story)|Detained]]'')


Matteusz's body was taken over by [[Steve Hopley]], with two other "joyriders" taking over April and Tanya's, to kidnap Charlie and Miss Quill, using the alien body-swapping technology stolen by [[Garry Fletcher]]. [[James Banks]], who was controlling Tanya, threatened to kill Matteusz's body in order to coerce Charlie and Miss Quill into following them to the alien machine and fixing it. Matteusz was eventually returned to his body. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Joyride (novel)|Joyride]]'')
In [[2015]], Matteusz visited his grandmother in [[Poland]] for her [[birthday]], with [[Matteusz Andrzejewski's father|his father]], and finally admitted his [[homosexuality]] to her. She had always known but wanted to hear it from him. ([[TV]]: ''[[Detained (TV story)|Detained]]'')


He was thrown out of the house by his parents for his relationship with Charlie. ([[TV]]: ''[[Nightvisiting (TV story)|Nightvisiting]]'') He subsequently lived with Charlie and [[Miss Quill]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Nightvisiting (TV story)|Nightvisiting]]'', [[PROSE]]: ''[[What She Does Next Will Astound You (novel)|What She Does Next Will Astound You]]'') On his first night staying there he admitted to Charlie that he loved him, and the pair ended up having [[sex]]. After Charlie saw his parents due to the [[Lankin]]'s influence, he helped [[Charlie Smith|Charlie]] and [[Andrea Quill|Miss Quill]] defeat the creature, discovering on the way to [[Tanya Adeola]]'s flat that every time he severed part of the creatures roots they immediately reattached. ([[TV]]: ''[[Nightvisiting (TV story)|Nightvisiting]]'')
Matteusz met [[Charlie Smith]] shortly after he joined Coal Hill and helped him through a panic attack. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Secret Diary of a Rhodian Prince (audio story)|Secret Diary of a Rhodian Prince]]'') Charlie later asked him to be his date for the [[Autumn Prom]] which Matteusz accepted, angering his family. He survived the [[Shadow Kin]] attack on the night of the prom and was among the few students who met the [[Twelfth Doctor]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[For Tonight We Might Die (TV story)|For Tonight We Might Die]]'')


In an effort to understand human [[Internet]] culture, Charlie posted pictures of Matteusz nearly nude. Matteusz was greatly upset by this, especially because he did not know Charlie has even taken the pictures, and did not forgive him until the next day. ([[PROSE]]: [[What She Does Next Will Astound You (novel)|''What She Does Next Will Astound You'']])
According to Charlie, Matteusz was grounded whilst the rest of the group encountered a [[skin-peeling dragon|dragon monster]] was attacking the school. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Coach with the Dragon Tattoo (TV story)|The Coach with the Dragon Tattoo]]'') Charlie later told him about what had happened via whispers in a class. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Secret Diary of a Rhodian Prince (audio story)|Secret Diary of a Rhodian Prince]]'')


He became interested in the ornate box in Charlie's room, and asked him about it. Charlie showed him the contents of the [[Cabinet of Souls]], and explained the legends of his people that the box could be used as a weapon to kill or possess a whole race. Matteusz didn't like this as it would lead to a [[genocide]]. This upset Charlie. He was the first of the [[Coal Hill defenders]] to notice the [[killer petal]]s that were appearing around the school and how they were increasing in number. He went with Charlie to April's house just in time to see her travel to [[the Underneath]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Co-Owner of a Lonely Heart (TV story)|Co-Owner of a Lonely Heart]]'') When Miss Quill and [[Dorothea Ames]] took Charlie and him to their house in order to persuade Charlie to use the Cabinet of Souls to kill the petals, Ames pulled a gun on Matteusz to motivate Charlie. Matteusz was adamant that using the weapon was mass murder, but surreptitiously texted Tanya "'''Shadows kill Petals'''", having realized that the Shadow Kin could be used to kill the Petals. Whilst Charlie was arming the device, Ames had turned her back to Matteusz and he used that to his advantage and knocked Ames out, remarking that he really didn't like guns. After Charlie disarmed the weapon, Charlie confessed that he might have lost what made him him; Matteusz told Charlie that if he was ever lost, Matteusz would find him. ([[TV]]: ''[[Brave-ish Heart (TV story)|Brave-ish Heart]]'')  
Matteusz' body was taken over by [[Steve Hopley]], with two other "joyriders" taking over April and Tanya's, to kidnap Charlie and Miss Quill, using the alien body-swapping technology stolen by [[Garry Fletcher]].

He told April some of his folk tales from his grandmother. Quill took him along to help her track down a signal, and that he would need to protect him. She also brought him along due to his physical fitness. Exploring the building he saw a lot of headless spectres. He tried to sacrifice himself to save Charlie. April managed to get Matteusz back but he became possessed by the Durant. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Creeper (audio story)|The Creeper]]'')

When April was knocked unconscious, he dialled 999 to call an ambulance. During his second visit to the house, Matteusz was attacked by Charlie's doppelganger, which turned into dust from the touch of the real Charlie.

He kept saying things about his relationship with Charlie and how he felt about him at an uncontrollable pace, but forgot his name. Quill interrogated him about how the situation started.

Matteusz even became concerned that Charlie could perhaps be seeing someone else without his knowledge. He thought Quill was seeing someone as she was often late back from work.

Matteusz Andrzejewski (born 1999) was a student at Coal Hill Academy in 2016. He was gay and as a result, experienced conflict with his deeply religious Polish parents, although he was close to his grandmother, who called him "Matti".

After his parents threw him out when he started dating Charlie Smith, he lived with Charlie and Andrea Quill at 1 Wellington Road, London, N1 0HR.

Biography[[edit] | [edit source]]

When he began learning English, he would read books in the language, including a book about a place called Narnia, at his mother's suggestion. (TV: Detained)

In 2015, Matteusz visited his grandmother in Poland for her birthday, with his father, and finally admitted his homosexuality to her. She had always known but wanted to hear it from him. (TV: Detained)

Matteusz met Charlie Smith shortly after he joined Coal Hill and helped him through a panic attack. (AUDIO: Secret Diary of a Rhodian Prince) Charlie later asked him to be his date for the Autumn Prom which Matteusz accepted, angering his family. He survived the Shadow Kin attack on the night of the prom and was among the few students who met the Twelfth Doctor. (TV: For Tonight We Might Die)

According to Charlie, Matteusz was grounded whilst the rest of the group encountered a dragon monster was attacking the school. (TV: The Coach with the Dragon Tattoo) Charlie later told him about what had happened via whispers in a class. (AUDIO: Secret Diary of a Rhodian Prince)

Matteusz' body was taken over by Steve Hopley, with two other "joyriders" taking over April and Tanya's, to kidnap Charlie and Miss Quill, using the alien body-swapping technology stolen by Garry Fletcher. James Banks, who was controlling Tanya, threatened to kill Matteusz' body in order to coerce Charlie and Miss Quill into following them to the alien machine and fixing it. Matteusz was eventually returned to his body. (PROSE: Joyride)

He told April some of his folk tales from his grandmother. Quill took him along to help her track down a signal, and that he would need to protect him. She also brought him along due to his physical fitness. Exploring the building he saw a lot of headless spectres. He tried to sacrifice himself to save Charlie. April managed to get Matteusz back but he became possessed by the Durant. (AUDIO: The Creeper)

He was thrown out of the house by his parents for his relationship with Charlie. (TV: Nightvisiting) He subsequently lived with Charlie and Miss Quill. (TV: Nightvisiting, PROSE: What She Does Next Will Astound You) On his first night staying there he admitted to Charlie that he loved him, and the pair ended up having sex. After Charlie saw his parents due to the Lankin's influence, he helped Charlie and Miss Quill defeat the creature, discovering on the way to Tanya Adeola's flat that every time he severed part of the creatures roots they immediately reattached. (TV: Nightvisiting)

He was a bit surprised that Tanya was going on a date after offering to make dinner for her in a study group. (AUDIO: Catfish)

Following Tanya's request, Matteusz with the others went to check out what was wrong with an old stone house. When April was knocked unconscious, he dialled 999 to call an ambulance.
