(ma-tay) Mate is a pretty cool guy. He makes everyone feel better when they're upset and is always there for his friends. He's really smart but denies it, hes really funny, kind, and really sweet. He is also really good at video games and is a real Chad. You're really lucky if you have a Mate as a friend (most likely it's gonna be my friend Mate because no one else is named Mate), so don't lose him. And also btw, he has a real hot mom
Mate's mom is really hot.
