Matt prodded the food on his plate. For once he wasn't wearing has normal clothes, he wore a dark grey hoddie, he looked up as he heard voices,
"… I'm not sure Near, I wouldn't have thought you'd care… let's ask Matt". Linda and Near then proceeded to sit with Matt. Near opposite him and Linda to his left, "Do you know where Mello is?" Linda asked turning to Matt, he stared at her and shook his head. He turned back to his food until Linda gasped, "What is that?" Linda smiled poking Matt's neck.
"It's nothing, get off" Matt said pushing her hand away, Linda pouted,
"I know it's not nothing, it's a hickey isn't it?" she teased,
"Piss off Linda" Matt said pulling up his hood to cover his neck,
"A hickey?" Near asked, Linda turned to him,
"A LoveBite" she replied, Near nodded
"A temporary red mark on a person's skin resulting from kissing or sucking by their lover" Matt scowled at him,
"Okay just 'cause you've memorised a dictionary doesn't mean you have to show off" he mumbled.
"LoveBite is in the dictionary?" Linda asked turning back to Near, He looked up and nodded. "Hmm, wow" she said thinking. She then put her attentions back to Matt, "So, who gave it to you?",As she asked, Matt stood from the table and left the canteen. She stared at him, "Okay, moody" she mumbled, she then scooted over to Matt's chair. "I bet it was that new girl" she said scanning the canteen. Near looked up,
"What gives you that idea?" he asked,
"Dunno, it's just since she turned up he changed, and plus, she kind of seems like his type" Linda replied absentmindedly, Near stared at her again,
"What? They both wear stripes, both good at Latin and Technology and they both spend unhealthy amounts of time in their rooms playing video games. They're practically perfect for each other!" she giggled,
"Don't opposites attract?" Near suddenly asked, Linda stared at him,
"Near who knows more about love out of us two?" she asked rhetorically, Near shrugged, "Leave it to me" Linda said scanning the canteen again…
