After she left, Near immediately began picking a fight with me. It really was his fault this time! He accused me of stealing his stupid robot. I don t even know how to get in his room, and anyways, why would I steal that when I m sure I d just trash the place. It made no sense
After a while, maybe an hour or so. Give or take, Amelia and Matt walked beck in but Near and I were too engrossed in our argument to pay notice to them.
you re really starting to piss me off! I yell at him
you mean you weren t that way already? My my he replies coolly.
well- I- SHUT UP PIPSQUEAK!!! I shout again, flustered and losing again.
He sits quietly for a moment before he speaks again. .girl he whispers.
I stand up and lean across the table in front of him SAY THAT AGAIN, I DARE YOU!!!
He sighs and looks up at me. G-I-R-L. Do I really need to spell it out for you?
I almost retaliate, but I hear Amelia laughing behind me. Near and I look over at her in silence. Before he begins twirling his hair and reading again.
Hiya Mello! Hiya Near! she says cheerfully.
For the millionth time, we both reply at the same time, saying hello in unison. As I glare at him, he tilts his head and smiles. Asshole
She laughs again and sits next to me. so how did things go while I took my nap? she asks.
I sigh dramatically. well, the kindergartener has accused me of stealing his doll.
it s a robot . he mutters.
Near, where was the last place you had your robot at? she asks him
where it always is .on my desk. And I know it was him. There were chocolate crumbs on the floor
I had chocolate today she says, so are you accusing me as well?
no. and besides.
The robot was stolen before lunch .you ate Mello s chocolate after that.
WHAT?!!?!?!? I stare at her in shock
