Season 1
In How to Love (1), he is with Melissa and Caitlin at Caitlin's locker. When Caitlin tells them that she became friends with Sidney and Haley over the summer, he is happy about that and hopes she can get him to date one of them. When Melissa and Caitlin argue about her choice of friends, Matthew tries to get them to stop. Later, he walks up to Melissa and finds out Caitlin can't talk to them in public anymore. Though he admires the way new Caitlin looks, he still finds it unfair that he can't talk to her in public as well.

In How to Love (2), he talks to Melissa about whether or not she should talk to Caitlin. Melissa ditches him to go embarrass Caitlin. When Melissa leaves them, he asks how it went and tells her she should let it go. She runs into the bathroom to avoid him. Later, Melissa tells him that they are no longer friends with Caitlin anymore. He comforts her and tells her that they can do better off without her anyways. He deletes Caitlin's number from Melissa's phone.
