Author's note: Omg, been a while since last I wrote an English fic! SourCreamPuff beta-ed me and the OC, Stripes is a property of "blackdragonflower".

I always hated spring time. The weather is freaking random and I always catch Hay Fever too. Today is really hot, reached up to 40 degrees Celsius; I even thought of not going to school, I might die of dehydration and coughing in the middle of the class. But, unfortunately for me, today is Science test and the teacher has no pity whatsoever to people who didn't do the test on that day, sharp, she just scribbled zero on their papers. It's not like I cared about stupid science and even worse teacher but, I just can't tolerate the presence of 'zero' in my yearly report, which is an eyesore.

"Daaaammmmit..." I coughed and took a tissue out of my schoolbag to wipe my runny nose. "Fuck spring..." I said as I muttered some swear words.

"That's the fourth time you said that today, Matt." My friend, Stripes, who was walking with me to school, grunted.

"Fuck spring."

"Fifth."

"And why would you count that?" I put a glance on his the owner of the raven and some green horizontal stripes hair. "I mean, seriously, spring of all season, I can't even study because I kept on sneezing yesterday! I'm gonna fail on today's exam."

"Well, good luck on that." He said, sarcastically. "The whole school knew that you're the top three in whole year 11, why would you even think of failing? I mean, look at me, I'm nowhere as close."

"You're the fourth." I blinked.

"At least I study. Unlike someone who played consoles continuously in class but still get the third anyway." He sneered. "You know, you can do a better job, there's a lot of interesting things in class that you missed."

"I'm not listening to your stupid lecture."

"And everyone can tell that you smoked. Your clothes stink, I'm quite sure you'll die in early age."

"Not listening, la la laaaa..." I covered my ears with both of my hands, Stripes sighed. I'm just too stubborn.

In about 5 minutes, we arrived at school and we were greeted by two people straightaway, Ryuuzaki and Light, the top students in whole year 11. We sat in front of the library, under the gazebo. That place was like our territory. None could even think of stepping there or we would beat the crap out of them. When Stripes and I sat down, Ryuuzaki and Light were quarrelling about who's sitting where.

"Hey, this is my spot, go away, Ryuuzaki." Light pushed him.

"Well, I think I stuck my butt here first. What made you think that this is your spot? I can't see your name carved here." Ryuuzaki said, not budging.

"I sit here like every time!"

"You're not now."

"Well, before you took it away from me."

"Good."

"Well, move!"

"Give me a good reason to."

"This is my spot, I sit here every time."

"You're not now."

"Don't repeat the same words."

"The same apply to you."

"Well, why don't you-"

"GODDAMMIT! It's just a fucking bench! Why would you fight over that thing?" I bursted out after hearing the newlyweds' argument, yet again. This happens every day though and it's mostly over a really stupid thing that's not even worth the time to argue over like a piece of paper, seats, lettuce, pudding and other unnecessary things.

"Fine." Light sat on the other side of the bench as Ryuuzaki stood up and smirked.

"The bell gonna ring soon."

RING

O:o:O:o:O:o:O

"Aaaah, yes... home time." I stretched.

"How's the test?" Stripes asked.

"Easy as hell."

"See? You're not the third for nothing, you know?"

"Hm?"

"What?"

"I thought I heard something." I walked over to the huge trash can close to the school. I opened the lid and found a... cat? But it looks like human! The cat rubbed its left ear and purred softly. "Stripes... ever heard of cat looks like human?"

"Oh, it's a boom, I think. Some scientist did that experiment lately. They're expensive, you know."

"Well, the fact is, I found this cat in the bin." I pulled the back of that cat's black clothes. "He looks dirty yet adorable." The blonde cat purred again.

"Aw, he's so cute! Who'd dare to throw him away?" Stripes look over to see that kitty's tag, it says,

"Mello." I stared and looked over to Stripes who looked so enthusiastic. "Give it up, Stripes. I'm taking care of him. I saw him first."

"Ah, fine!" He pouted. I smiled in satisfy and walked over to my house where I put Mello down.

"The first thing is... a bath!" I said. Mello turned on and scratched my face. "OW, DAMMIT! OUCH! MELLO!" That blonde cat hissed in anger. "GET OFF!" Blood dripped from my cheeks.

"One thing, Matt. Cats hate the word bath."

"WELL, TELL ME EARLIER! Fine, Mello! No bath!" As I said that, Mello stopped and rubbed his left ear again, as if nothing happened. "His paws... are so sharp..." I turned my face at Stripes, who screamed in horror. He said my face was bleeding like a man who's just been tortured.

"I'll go and get you a first aid box..." He backed off.

"Please do."

"Meow..." Mello purred again, walked up to my lap and rubbed his face against my stomach.

Matt's life was about to change from this point on. He just has not realized it yet.
