Summary
Alfred F. Jones is the best math student in the school, and Ivan Braginsky is the best writer.
Unfortunately, Alfred can't write to save his life, Ivan can't do algebra to save his, and they both hate each other.
But when their grades start slipping, and their learning specialist forces them to tutor each other, the obvious solution is simple: trade skills, survive the semester, and go back to ignoring each other.
It would probably work better if they didn't keep seeing things about each other that they were never supposed to.
Or: two academic rivals discover that hating each other is much easier from a distance.

Summary
Gilbert sees a boy leaving the school in the middle of the day looking downcast and decides to ditch with him. That boy is Matthew Williams, the invisible child, walking away to end it all. Original idea inspired by an old email chain mail.
I posted this on fanfiction.net in 2011 and wrote the second half years later.
