MelloxNear - Foreign Exchange Drama

Chapter 1 - The Big News

It was a nice, peaceful day... For now. In Rogers office, the two boys glaring at each other failed to realize the beauty of this day as Roger stepped into the room.

"Now, boys, as you heard in todays assembly, we will be sending the children to different countrys and their elite schools for a few months while we do some repairs. Now, let me just cut to the chase. Mello, Near, you two will be going to Alaska tomarrow afternoon."

"W-What?!" Mello almost jumped. And Cringed. The thought of being in a frozen wasteland with his worst enemy for who knows how long is enough to make him want to punch Roger. But, he had more common sense than that, and glanced over to the other boy. Near was relatively calm, and just responded with a quick nod as he picked up his puzzle and left, going to pack. Mello followed, but headed down the opposite corridor to the room he shared with Matt.

"I can't believe that son of a bitch paired me up with Near!" Mello said, kicking a random video game system.

"Yeah, yeah, take it out on my games why don't you..." Matt replied, pissed. "Anyways, you have it lucky. At least you don't have to spend three months in Bermuda with Linda the annoying monkey chatterbox."

"I'd rather have to stay on a remote island with her than spend even a second of my time with Near!" Mello exclaimed, throwing a bunch of random shit into his bag, half of which is probably Matts.

The next day, the boys were shoved into a car and driven to an airport, where they are supposed to fly to Anchorage, Alaska, then be driven to Valdez, where the school is. Oh boy... This is gonna be a loonng trip...
