Chapter 2
"Mello? Hey, wake up!"
"Ugh...Five more minutes, Mom..."
"Mom? It's Matt! Wake up, you'll be late for class and miss your results!"
Groggily, I opened my eyes to see my perky red head friend, Matt. He's pretty much the only thing that makes me get up on school days. Anyone else would fail and I would probably sleep in. But this time the results he spoke of got me up and out of bed. "Yeah... That's right. We get to find out what we got on that test." I smile at this, "I know I got a good score, I did better than Near this time." I look at Matt and ask him, "Right?"
Matt fidgets with his orange tinted goggles. "Yeah... Just remember-" Matt stops and starts to smile, then he covers his mouth.
I look around, what was he looking at. "What? What's so funny!" I demanded.
"You got bedhead, half your hair is sticking up," Matt starts laughing.
"Shut up!" I yell at him, feeling a little embarrassed. "At least I don't wear geeky goggles!"
"They're cool!" Matt stops laughing and snaps at me, his turn to feel a little embarrassed.
"Sure they are," I joke and get out of my bed, ready for the test results.
If only I knew what was in store for me later.
**Classroom**
Where the hell was my test with the results?
I sat at my desk impatiently, feet tapped the floor incessantly, while my fingers drummed the smooth surface distractedly. I needed to know what I got, I craved it. I had studied for nearly two hours for that test, I better had done better than Near. Near would not be doing better than me now.
"Say, Mello..." Matt said, poking my shoulder to get my attention.
"What is it Matt?"
"I meant to tell you something last night, but I didn't have the time to..."
"What were you gonna say? You can tell me now."
Matt shook his head. "No, not here. Definitely not here."
"Fine, then after class."
The gamer opened his mouth to say something but my test slapped down on my desk. Yes! Finally! Now what did I get?
A+ was written in red ink.
"Ha!" Achievement flooded through me. "There's no way Near tied-"
"Um..." Matt mumbled to me, "Near got a few points above you on the extra credit..."
"What!" I snapped at him.
Near walks over to my desk and looks at my test score, his face blank. He doesn't speak, and during this time rage was building up inside me. A giant headache started to from once I got mad. The pain got worse as I thought, Please don't let this be like last week... Just, get out and go away! I grit my teeth and clench my fists, trying not to say or do anything violent.
Too bad Near doesn't help. Instead he says, "Better luck next time, Mello," twirling a strand of that stupid white hair.
His words set me off, I wasn't thinking anymore. Rage had consuming my mind and felt like it was controlling me. My arms lunge out for his pale neck and my wring around his throat tightly. We both fall over onto the floor and I ends up on top of him. The headache isn't going away, in fact it gets worse each second. It felt like something was taking over and was slowly killing me from the inside. I can't bear the pain anymore and my hands release the small albino and clutch my head. I'm screaming the words "Make the stop" and I end up getting my wish. Darkness follows but the pain stays.
What just happened to me?
