Character updates "The House of the Scorpion"

The main character Matt is now 12 years old. Nothing has happened that I think is important. He is still a clone and is still mistreated. Maria is banished from seeing Matt after he was framed for killing her dog, and Tom was sent off to boarding school with Maria. Matts bodyguard is no longer with him because Matt is old enough to take care of himself. And El Patron is no where to be found. Nowadays, Matt goes to his secret spot in the music room and hangs there. Absolutely nothing is happening and I dont really have much too say. Hopefully that will change shortly. Im pretty far into the book and I feel something big is about to happen but for now I updated you on the characters a little bit.
