It kind of sucks, dropping out of College. I mean, I guess it wasn't one of the best decisions I've ever made. Considering how I've spent the past five months sitting at a computer screen blogging my ass off.

I'm Matt by the way. Mail Jeevas. Well no one calls me that anyway. So whatever. Just call me Matt, yeah?

Recently, I started talking to a couple of old friends, we decided to go out on the weekend. Or rather they decided I needed to get my ass out and socialize.

Which to be honest, was probably true. I think it had been a month or two since I'd seen a familiar face, and it wouldn't hurt to see a friendly face or two.

Somehow, I fixed my sleeping pattern and managed to wake up at a regular time. No longer could I pretend I was a vampire and stay up all night to talk to my American friends online. Boo.

Whatever.

Anyhow, I took a shower, got dressed, and got the bus out. To be honest, I kind of wanted to stay on the bus and go back home.

But, there I was. Midday and I was at the train station looking for them. I spotted Light with an unfamiliar girl, I was sure I'd seen her face before, but I couldn't quite place it.

"Hey, Matt!"

Light waved me over, and I approached with a fake smile plastered on my face.

We bought our tickets and left to meet others. Throughout the day, I got more acquainted with the blonde girl. Her name was Misa, she was sweet and pretty generous. Nice girl. We ended up getting on pretty well. Turns out we'd actually met before, but me, being my unsociable, self hadn't spoken to her.

The day wasn't too bad. It was fun. I suppose. But, now that I was out I really didn't want to go home. Considering throughout the week they'd all be busy with school and I'd have to wait until the next Saturday to see them. So we decided when we got back home we'd go to the cinema.

By the time the sun went down, itt was freezing and I pulled my sheepskin vest out of my backpack, tugging it on and zipping it up all the way to the top, along with my bright orange goggles shielding my eyes, practically hiding my face.

Light was on his phone. I gave him a nod as if to ask who he were talking to.

"Ah, that was my friend. Mello, he's going to be joining us, he says he'll be here soon."

Mello, huh? Funny name. Male or female? I wondered, and I hoped female, since it would be a little awkward considering Misa had been all over Light all day, so if this were a double date I'd appreciate the hook up.

But, oh I was so wrong. He approached us as we waited on the benches, I stayed seated while everyone else greeted him. Tall, blond, and clad in leather. If it wasn't for the fact if I'd have asked earlier I'd have mistook him for a female for sure.

"Matt."

I poked out a hand, not being one for introductions, but he simply pulled me into a hug, I froze up a little, not being so use to physical contact, especially with a guy like… Well, like Mello. Let's just say he was… Very effeminate.

"Okay then…"

I muttered, as I walked in the direction of the cinema, wishing I'd have just went right home now.

When we got there it was pretty late, probably just past ten. I didn't really mind though, it was fun being out late, it meant less people, and I didn't like people, so that played in my favour.

"How about that movie!"

I suggested to Light, pointing at the horror on the screen, only to have Misa shriek. I raised my hands in submission and took a step back. I was in no mood to be dealing with whiny girls crying because they couldn't deal with a little jump scare, or two.

"Fine, fine. Chose whatever you like just here, book the tickets."

I handed the blond girl the money for my ticket as she pulled out her card and paid for them all together, even buying Light's for him. Poor chick. He probably didn't give two shits about her, it was a shame. She was nice, not that I was interested.

Honestly, I wasn't.

I'd given up on relationships recently. I was kind of fed up with being hurt, always being broken up with because I didn't think sex was a vital part of a relationship. Idiots. I'm not getting into this.

Rather, I couldn't. I was snapped out of my thoughts by Mello, as he shoved me lightly in the shoulder, only to offer me a friendly smile. The guy didn't seem too bad, maybe just a little… Awkward?

We were late for the movie so we speed walked up to the screen, there wasn't many seats left, well good ones anyway. So the idiots decided to sit up front. Great.

Not only did I have the shittest eyesight ever, but my goggles meant that the glare from the screen was going to be horrible and I'd eventually have to take them off if I wanted to actually watch the movie.

We poured into the seats. Misa, Light, Myself, then Mello. Wow. This was awkward.

Not to mention had I only just met this guy, we were watching some terrible comedy, and these two were almost choking themselves laughing considering we'd only gotten five minutes into the movie.

Halfway through my eyes began to sting to I headed to the bathroom. After, awkwardly climbing over Mello's lap. I was really starting to regret going out today.

I returned to my seat after taking a piss and pulling off my goggles, leaving them around my neck. I shifted in my seat and noticed the other two idiots laughing and pointing at the screen. It seriously wasn't even funny. At least Mello could tell a shit movie when he saw one.

"What's that?"

He pointed to my drink and I turned to look at him, rubbing my eyes to adjust after taking my goggles off. He was actually a lot more beautiful without an orange tint added to his complexion. Wait. No. What was I saying? I'm straight. Straight. Straight. Straight.

"It's umn… I don't know. I got it out there."

"Oh, I see."

"Yeah…"

Awkward silence.

He shifted in his seat, almost lying down. I guess he was getting tired, well I couldn't blame him, it was almost midnight. So I joined him in that position, laughing when my back clicked, I really was unfit.

"Shit movie, huh? I don't see how they like it so much."

"Yeah, I guess they think anything is funny though."

"I guess…"

"Hmnn…."

Wow, this was awkward. I wanted to fucking hit myself, or leave. Leave, yeah. That sounded nice. Get the bus and just head home.

The movie seemed to drag on forever, but when it finally ended I looked up and noticed Mello had made a run for it. Ah, he needed to catch the last train… Wait. Shit. So did I.

Turns out myself and Misa got the same train home. We caught up with Mello and said our awkward goodbye's. Leaving him to catch the train with Light, and as I said earlier, myself with Misa.

However, after waiting we realised we'd missed it. So we had to call a cab and split it, luckily we lived quite close to each other.

"So… I'll see you later. Keep safe."

I offered a smile and a short wave. Nice girl. I figured we'd get on okay if she didn't piss me off, although she didn't seem the one to want to argue, unless you were interested in Light, then she'd probably rip your head off without a second thought.

"Thanks." I muttered, paying the driver and heading inside, after letting myself in.

My parents were pissed to say the least. I made myself a cup of tea but didn't even get to drink it. Because as soon as my head hit the pillow I was out for the night.
