Chapter 3 / Argument
--
When Mello and L returned to class, they were met with mixed stares. Confused (¾ of the class), hurt (Matt), amused (¼ of the class), sympathetic (Light, Near, and Mikami) and angry (Mr. Namikawa). Mello returned each and every stare with scathing heat before returning to his seat.
"Thank you for deciding to come back to class, Mr. Keehl. Run out of my class again, though, and you will receive detention. And Mr. Lawliet, thank you for retrieving him. Now . . . Back to class. First I will review your schedules . . ."

RIIIIIIINNNGGGG
"Thank Lord Kira it's Break!" Light exclaimed, stretching his arms and yawning. He dug into his backpack, pulled out a blueberry muffin and proceeded to eat it happily.
Mello, L, Light, and Mikami walked down the hall heading to the Lobby, each getting out a Break snack of their own. Mello miserably chewed on his chocolate bar.
"Yeah, I thought Mr. Namikawa was never gonna shut up about our classes. Like we don't know what we're going to learn in Math . . ." Mikami sighed, glancing at Light. He pulled a granola bar out of his backpack and proceeded to eat it.
"Mr. Namikawa is kind of annoying, but he seems like a good teacher." Light laughed, putting a friendly arm around Miami's neck. Mikami blushed and L turned away.
"Anyway, I think we all have somewhere to go . . ." L muttered, biting irritably a his thumb and losing interest in his box of strawberry pocky.
"Yes . . . I have to go find Gevanni . . . I haven't talked to him in awhile . . ." Near announced, blushing. He inched away.
"You and Gevanni should just confess to each other!" Mello yelled halfheartedly after the silver-haired boy. Near simply waved his hand in the hair and disappeared into the crowd.
There was a moment of silence as Light, L, and Mikami looked at each other then at Mello, coming quickly to a quiet understanding.
"Um . . . L, you and I have to report as Class Reps, remember? Let's go!" Light grabbed L's hand and dragged the raven-haired detective to the office. Mikami stared, gaping, at Light and L's fleeting backs and then realizing he was alone with the blond, looked at Mello nervously.
"Um, I have to . . . go . . ." he stuttered and ran off.
'What the hell? Why did they all run off?' Mello sighed and ate the last of his chocolate bar. 'Well . . . Maybe . . . I'll go look for Matt . . .'
--
Mello found Matt right where he expected to find him. On the cafeteria stairs. The stairs leading into the cafeteria were a popular place to hang out. Groups of friends sat on the long steps, some sitting in the alcoves lining the stairs. Matt sat right on the last step playing his DS.
Mello approached the brunette gamer quietly. He heard him mutter "Objection, motherfucker . . ." and almost burst out laughing as the brunette shook his head irritably and stomped his foot. Then suddenly , Matt raised his fist in victory. A memory came rushing back to Mello.
A blond haired boy and a brunette haired boy sat under a tree. One held a box of Belgian chocolates and a book, the other a Gameboy. The sound of chocolates being taken out of their paper holders filled the quiet summer air. The clicks of a Gameboy's buttons joined the crinkling paper.
Mello looked over just as Matt raised his fist in victory.
"What was that about?" the blond inquired, delicately eating a starfish-shaped chocolate.
"Heh, I beat the Elite Four!" Matt exclaimed, smiling brightly.
Mello smiled at the memory. Matt had been so happy . . . and if Mello remembered correctly, the gamer had proceeded to hug and kiss the blond lovingly. The two had laughed innocently at the time but now Mello blushed at the thought.
"Matt . . .?" Mello addressed Matt, snapping out of it.
Matt immediately turned around at the sound of Mello's voice.
"Mello . . ." Matt stared at Mello cautiously, as if the blond was going to attack him.
Mello furrowed his eyebrows into a frown, angry that Matt was looking at him so . . . so . . . so different.
'I suppose that's my fault . . . I did kinda freak out on him . . .' Mello bit his lip and glanced at Matt again. He was still looking at him cautiously. Mello twitched. That look really pissed him off. 'Wait . . . It's not my fault! It's Matts fault for leaving me! He left ME!!'
"What's your problem, Game-Geek?" Mello snapped. "What's with the weird look? Oh, and why the hell are you here, anyway? You've been gone for 8 years! Why didn't you just stay wherever the hell you were?! Huh? Why are you here?!" Mello paused and looked at Matt. The brunette was just gaping at him. "WHAT THE FUCK?! ANSWER ME!!"
Everyone on the stairs had turned to the two boys and everything was quiet as Matt and Mello stared at each other.
"Mello . . ." Matt stared wide-eyed at him, as his goggles started to fog.
"'Mello . . .'? Jesus, is that all you can say? You STUPID idiot!" Mello shouted, dramatically swinging his arms in the air. His vision was getting blurry.
Suddenly, Matt stood up. The crowd gasped.
"Look, Mello . . . What the FUCK do you want me to say?! You think I left because I wanted to?! Do you think I WANTED TO leave you?! You were my best friend! So stop being a dick and act like it! JESUS!" Matt shouted even louder than Mello.
For a moment, the two boys stood huffing at each other. The crowd on the stairs was completely silent. You could have heard a pin drop.
The silence was broken by Matt. He flipped Mello off and walked away, up the stairs and into the Lobby. Everyone held their breath until Matt was out of sight. Then the whole staircase burst into chatter.
"Holy fuck! I thought they were going to kill each other!"
"Holy shet, did you see that?"
"That blond guy is pretty hot . . . 'cept for that scar . . ."
"Oh, you're a freshman, eh? That's Mello. He's a total pimp. Ha ha."
"That guy with the goggles is new, right? I wonder how Mello knew him . . ."
"I dunno, but he's pretty cool. Pretty hot, too."
Mello stood still, paralyzed, rooted to the spot. His body wouldn't move. He couldn't hear anything. His eyes hurt. His stomach felt queasy. Worst of all, his heart ached. It felt like it had stopped.
It wasn't until the bell ran and everyone rushed back to class, that Mello returned to his senses.
Weakly, he turned around and walked up the stairs and to Social Studies class.
--
As soon as he entered the class, he was approached by L, Light, Near, and Mikami.
"Mello! There you are!" Light exclaimed, grabbing Mello and pulling him over to a desk. Lowering his voice, he and the others crowded around the blond. "We heard about the argument you had with Matt on the stairs. Are you okay?"
Mello looked up at the worried faces of his friends and smiled.
"Thanks for caring guys, but I'm fine . . ."
"Are you sure?" L pressed.
"Yup. I feel as though my heart is going to break but other than that, I'm fine."
"Mello . . ."
Mello twitched. "Please, guys, just leave me alone and I'll be fine."
They all looked at each other. "Fine . . ." they sighed in unison and went to their own desks.
Mello sighed and slumped down in his chair. Suddenly, he felt a tap on his shoulder and turned around to see who it was. He greeted by the sight of his favorite teacher.
"Mr. Mido!" A smile spreed across his face. "What are doing here?"
Shingo Mido smiled back at him. "Hello, Mello. I'm a Teacher's Aid for Mr. Namikawa's class now! I know, bit different from my previous job as the Social Studies teacher, but I like it! The new Social Studies teacher is nice though."
"Can't be better than you, Mido. What's his name?"
"Ha ha! Thanks! The new teacher's name is-"
Mido was interrupted by the opening of the classroom door. A raven-haired man marched inside and to the front of the class. He smiled nervously at them.
"Hello, class. I'm Mr. Penber, the new Social Studies teacher."
The class replied with "Hello, Mr. Penber." and he smiled confidently and nodded.
"Now then, I will review the course plans. First of all-"
"I'll see you later, Mello." Mido whispered, waving to Mello and returning to the back of the classroom.
Through the rest of the class, Mello was in a better mood than he had been when he entered and was pretty grateful for his friends.
--
The Bus Bell rang and everyone rushed out of the school, glad to be free. Mello simply walked, as people rushed past him and onto their buses.
'I just have to walk home . . . What's the hurry?'
"Mello!"
Mello automatically turned around and saw Mikami running towards him. As soon as he had caught up, he immediately tried to tell Mello something. "Badeef pratigedsa tthighjyt." he huffed, trying to catch his breath.
"What?" Mello laughed, cracking a smile.
"Band. Practice. Tonight."
"7:00pm. At Johnny's. You better be there." Mikami smirked.
"I'm ready to fucking scream my lungs out! You bet I'll be there!" Mello sneered.
"'k, good. See you there!" Ai smiled, giving him a thumbs up and then ran to Light's side.
Mello watched him talk to Light for a moment then say goodbye as he headed for his bus. He smirked, thought of L, and proceeded down the side walk.
Walking home, he couldn't wait for band practice. He was ready to go crazy.
