A/N: Oh, yes. Some Near action. Don't worry though; he's kinda just a secondary character. Or is he? Hehehe. Don't worry Near-haters, he gets no lovins from Matt or Mello.
/\Matt/\
After Mello convinced Rogers that a prom was a good idea, (how the hell did Mello convince him, anyway?) we anonymously nominated Near as a prom queen candidate. That caused quite a few snickers during lunch when students went to check the candidates when they were posted at lunch. To my surprise, people weren't surprised when Mello came up as a candidate for prom queen. Mello got a quite a few pats on the back from other guys who called him 'brave' and quite a few glares from jealous girls.
He just loved all the attention.
It seemed like our plan was working flawlessly. I was nominated as prom king, Mello as queen ('second king' as he insisted on calling it) and it was like we were living a dream.
I'm still not sure how the hell Mello got himself nominated for queen. The other nominee was Halle, Near's only female friend.

"Rogers why did you let Mello talk you into such a ridiculous plan? The idea of a Whammy's House prom? Utterly preposterous. The other children will use it as an excuse to grind on each other with no interference from authority. There is no point to this—this rhythmic ceremonial dancing. It's absurd. And Near will not be a party to your plot to make Near prom queen. Near does not wish to be perceived as a woman. Near also would prefer not to wear this ghastly dress!" Near gestured at the huge white 'ball gown' that looked like a wedding dress. Rogers had tried to make Near take the dress back to his room to try it on but Near had blatantly refused.
Rogers sat at his desk, intimidated by the pale boy's rare outburst. It wasn't every day Near get angry like this. It was like Near to be a snarky little bastard-No. Don't think about the students that way, Rogers. "Well, Near the way I see it this is an opportunity to show to the student body that you are the best student we have here and that excellence is to be rewarded. And you will be the prom queen if I have to stuff the ballot boxes myself. Look you already got nominated as a candidate so its obvious you have a chance! This is my final word. You will go along with my plan, or I will take away your toys."
"Fine. But I still don't like the dress." Near said as he twirled his hair with his index finger nervously.
A/N: I'm not sure why I made Rogers such a dick. Sorry. OwO
