The next day went by way to fast for me. Before I knew it I was laying on my bed playing video games and waiting for Mello to show up at the door. (Oh! I f you're wondering, I won the contest the prize was a bag of those Hershey's bars. I was tempted to just give them to L but for some reason I didn't.) I really don't want Mello to be around me all the time. Maybe I can give them to Mello as a peace offering. I really don't want to live with someone I don't like or doesn't me. It can't just be he was having a bad day, he seemed nice enough to Mr. Watari. Even if he is a teacher he probably would have at least looked like he was in a bad mood, but he smiled at me.

Just then I heard a loud bang at the door. I turned my psp off and set it on my bed and got up to open the door. Of course there stood Mello with a box in his hands, bag on his back and an unhappy look on his face.

"Uh- Hi Mello." I said and opened the door stepping aside so he could come in. He looked at both sides and walked to the empty side that was obviously his and put down his things and started for the door.

"WAIT!" I shouted before he got out the door.

"Jeez I'm right here! Don't yell! What do you want…what's our name again?" he asked scratching his head.

"uh…I'm Matt" I said pointing to myself "and I just wanted to know… I-if you needed help with your stuff?" Why does he make me stutter so much? Oh Shit burgers he looks pissed.

"No." he said through gritted teeth and turned to walk away. But I grabbed his wrist all I could think in the few seconds that it took him to turn around was WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING!?

"What the hell are you doing Matt?" That's a good question.

"Why are you being such a douche bag to me?"

"Douche bag?"

"Yes! Since I've met you, you've only been an asshole to me!"

"I haven't done anything to you!"

"That's what I mean! You haven't even tried to be nice to me!"

He took a few seconds to just glare at me before he snapped "Fine! You wanna help so bad? C'mon follow me."

I tried to keep up with him as he walked to his room at a fast pace. Of course it was like on the opposite end of the planet! He finally stopped in front of a door, and I almost walked right past him, he walked right in and I followed quietly behind him. I saw a boy in the corner of the room, in all white (even his hair was white) he was wearing what I think were pajamas playing with toy robots and building blocks. On the opposite corner was an empty bed and three boxes. Mello picked two of them up, I was about to pick up the last box but he stopped me.

"No, take these." He gestured to the boxes he was holding. I reached for them. Please don't be heavy, please don't be heavy, please don-

"F-fuck its heavy!"

He picked up the last one with total ease and held it in one arm. Ugh! What a dick face!

"Alright lets get the fuck out of here." he turned around and before leaving flipped off the boy in the corner.

"I can see you." The boy said calmly.

"teh, I know asshole." Mello walked out of the room and I followed after.

That boy seems familiar. Hmm oh! I've got it!

"Hey was that Near?" I asked while trying to catch up to him.

"That's none of your business."

"It was! Wow number one student Near River…Does his name remind you of River Phoenix?"

"Pfft no. You really are simple minded aren't you?"

"Hey!.. Shut up!"

"Wow that's your come back?"

"Yes. Now shut the fuck up and let's hurry I'm losing feeling in my arms!" I said and started walking as fast as I could to my room.

We finally got back and I dropped the boxes in the middle of the room.

"Jeez, my arms feel like noodles!" I said and flung my arms around.

" Hey, Matt if I'm such a douche bag why are being nice to me?"

"I dunno. I guess I just rather get along with you, if we are gonna be sharing a room."

"What is the hell is that supposed to mean?"

"Nothing."

"Are you trying to fuck with my brain? Well it won't work you ass."

"Are you on drugs Mello?" I asked wide-eyed at the sudden shift in attitude.

"Am I on drugs? You're the one not making any sense!"

"Me? I'm just trying to be nice! Just unpack your shit and leave me alone!"

I grabbed my psp and started to lie down on my bed but stopped when my back felt wet. I turned my head to see my back drenched in sweat. I guess I'm gonna have to change my shirt. Jeez how could I not feel that?

I looked at the little dresser beside my bed to see my favorite red and black striped sweater. I grabbed it quickly. He's not facing me so if I change fast enough he won't notice.

I turned my back to face his and I threw of my shirt. I had the red and black one over my head and was about to pull it down when I heard a low gasp. Shit! I pulled my shirt down all the way and turned to look at Mello who was starring at me.

"What is it Mello?" Better play it cool.

"Matt you're so skinny, I can see the bones in you're back."

"Uh Yeah awhile ago I got pretty sick and I lost a quite a bit of my body weight. I never fully recovered." Well it's almost the truth.

"Really? Now I almost feel bad for making you carry those boxes, Sicky."

"So what, is that my nickname?" I said lying down on my bed.

"Well I could call you Shrimp, Stripes, or No-Life."

"How'd you come up with those?"

"Well Shrimp because you're short." Asshole "Stripes because your shirts." I nodded. "No-Life because you are obviously a gamer and they are known for only leaving their houses for new games and junk food."

"But me being a gamer should kill that whole theory."

"What'd you mean?"

"I'm a gamer I don't need a life I've got tons." I said and pointed to a pile of games next to my bed. Mello's face twisted into a smile and let a low chuckle go.

Maybe everything is gonna be alright.

"So I guess we've decided on Shrimp?"

I take that back.

The next day I woke up early to go to the library and play video games on my laptop, so Mello could have sometime to unpack. Around lunchtime I decided to get something to eat. I got a carton of tater tots, a bag of chips, and a can of soda. I walked quickly back to my room. As soon as I got in I slammed the door shut. I saw Mello lying on his bed with some headphones on. I set my laptop carefully on the dresser and set my soda as far away from it as possible. Mello suddenly jerked his head up and looked at me, he took out the headphones and threw them, along with an ipod, at me. This is…

"My ipod!" I yelled.

"Yup, you listen to some weird shit."

"What on my ipod is weird?"

"Lets see that 'Crazy Loop' song,"

"That's a good song!" I interrupted.

"I didn't say it was bad, its okay, but what about that 'Stupid Shit' song or the Barbie song that's redone by some punk band?"

My face started to burn as I remembered those songs were on my ipod. " O-okay I'll give you those."

"And you have to much techno."

"Shut it." I growled.

I opened the bag of chips and quickly at them all. Then I grabbed my can of soda I tapped the top three times before opening it and gulping it down.

"Why did you do that?" Mello asked out of nowhere.

"What?"

"The tap thing."

"Oh, it's the Matt Jeevas three tap method, three taps and foam goes down."

"Sure." Mello said rolling his eyes.

I grabbed a handful of tater tots and stuffed them into my mouth and chewed with my mouth wide open, just to piss him off. I felt something smack my face. I looked to see Mello had thrown an all black notebook at my face.

"Don't do that. Unless, you want me to kick your ass."

"Like its any less annoying then when you snap that fucking chocolate."

Then he out of nowhere got a chocolate bar and snapped a chunk off. I wish I hadn't given those to him. I threw the notebook back at him. But completely missed.

"I think I might have to do the ass kicking." I growled at him.

Mello scoffed "Yeah right you're like half my size."

"I may be small but I am tangible!"

"Tangible?" Mello yelled then started to laugh, I smiled a little as he laughed.

"Alright, I've decided to not be as mean to you."

"Um…thank you?"

Yeah everything is alright.
