Brett Matthews

Brett Keegan Matthews is a popular student attending Thornton High School. He is friendly, laid-back and loyal to his friends, especially Darryn Campbell and Carter LeBrass, whom he considers his best friends. Brett fights for what he believes is right. Brett has a free spirit which many seem to wish for and is thought to be one of the hottest guys in school, a title which he wears without much care.

Some notable achievements Brett has made at Thornton High include playing Edna Turnblad in the school's production of Hairspray and helping Mara Hitchball win a ballet dance competition during her junior year.

Brett had an easy childhood, growing up with parents who were strongly against bullying and rarely ever responsible when it came to it, but overall carefree, wacky and fun. Brett, however, grew up in a bad neighborhood, and became something of a thief. When his parents discovered this, they moved out of the neighborhood and worked harder on disciplining him instead of just letting him run around and learn things that could get him into trouble. Later on, when they saw that he was becoming more well-behaved, his parents balanced out his life through discipline and play.
