"No! I am not sharing my room!" I flicked my blonde hair back from my face angrily.
"I'm sorry, but we've already decided that Matt is staying in your room. You both need to socialise more, and this is a perfect opportunity."
"He's weird!" I continued to argue, but there was no point arguing with Roger. It wasn't even his choice, he just had to stand by and make sure me and Near didn't kill each other.
"It's been decided, I'm sorry, but you're going to have to deal with it."
I crossed my arms and pouted.
"Whatever then." I replied angrily, swinging the door open and storming back to my room. My damn room. Mine. Not some weird new kid. I slammed the door behind me and jumped onto my bed. There was no way he could stay in my room. I looked over, there was already a bed on the other side of the room for the new kid. Some guy who knew a lot about technical things, apparently. What a weirdo. I bet he was some weird, pasty guy with huge glasses and retarded clothes all tucked in and pulled up to his waist and everything. Ew. There was a loud knock at the door. Oh god, I bet that was him now. Some 12 year old super computer geek. Oh joy.
"Mello, come out and meet the boy you're sharing your room with." Came a voice when the door opened. I reluctantly got up and walked as slowly as possible to the door.
"Hello." I didn't bother with the fake smile or the put on facial expression. The kid only glanced up from his gameboy for a second, then went back to it. He had auburn hair and some weird yellow tinted goggles. I didn't get it. Why did he have goggles? We weren't at a swimming pool. What a retard. Not to mention those jeans and the baggy black and red striped shirt. Oh, great, I get stuck with the new, nerdy emo kid. Well, that's just great.
"I thought the girls wouldn't be allowed to share a room with a guy…" The new kid said quietly.
"Oh, this is Mello, you're sharing your room with him." Roger blushed when he heard that weirdo call me a girl. How dare he. First, he, this weird geeky emo kid, steals my room, and now, he calls me a girl. Roger took his leave and muttered something about us getting to know each other.
"I'm not a damn girl." I snarled. "What are you? Some weird emo kid or something?"
"Oh yeah, of course Melanie." He muttered, not even looking up, which made me twitch.
"My name is not Melanie." I replied. "It's Mello."
"And mine is Matt, not weird emo kid." Still he didn't look up. He wasn't intimidated by me at all.
"This is just great." I muttered, getting a piece of chocolate out of my mini fridge.
"Why do you have so much chocolate?" He asked quietly, finally looking up from his game.
"I like chocolate." I replied.
"I didn't mean to call you a girl before, it's just the baggy clothes and the hair cut and…" He stopped suddenly in mid sentence.
"And what?" I said, biting into my chocolate bar.
"Well, you'll think it's weird if I say it."
"Just say it, I really don't care."
"Well," He blushed, "You have really pretty eyes, like a girl."
Okay, I wasn't expecting that.
"Are you gay?"
"No! God, you hate it when I insult you, you hate it when I compliment you. Even Pikachu is easier to please than you are." He muttered, sitting down on the armchair at the desk.
"Did you just compare me to a Pokémon?" I stopped eating my chocolate to glare at him.
"Dude, relax."
"Don't call me that, I have a name."
"Just relax and stop freaking out already. Look, come out with me tonight, nowhere in particular. It'll be fun." He only looked up for a second.
"So you are gay?"
"Relax, I'm not trying to hit on you or insult you. I'm trying to be nice."
"Well, what time, then?" I'd never snuck out before, I mean, I'd always wanted to, but I never had anyone to sneak out with, and now I had this guy… however weird he may be.
"10ish?" he suggested.
"Okay then."
There was a brief moment of silence, then Matt cleared his throat.
"So, do you wanna show me around? That guy suggested that you did rather than him." He asked.
"Yeah, as long as my pretty girl eyes don't distract you."
"Oh, funny guy."
I smirked.
"Dude, relax."
