Hello again fanfiction readers. I have decided to update my story instead of studying for midterms so woo! xD

Thanks MindMess for reviewing. I wasn't super sure about that last chapter. I'm not super good with flashbacks, but I shall remember your awesome bit of advice for the near future. I think in this chapter Alex will figure out the real truth about Mello, but she can be a bit blind at times. Um… since you are so damn awesome for reviewing again I shall give you more of L's sweets. L already approved. :3 Thanks also again to whoever is following and reading this. I love you guys.

Okay then, now that that is out of the way, I believe I forgot to say at the beginning of this little story that I do not own anything of Death Note's, but I do own Alex and her family. Now ONWARDS! xD

Chapter 4; New Meetings

I followed the girl down all those winding stairs that led me to my room. It was weird how big this place was. It must have a million and a half different rooms. Great, I thought to myself, now I'm going to get lost a lot. I should probably get or make myself a map…

"Hey, are you coming? I don't have all day." said the blonde girl.

She was a flight of stairs ahead of me already. Great, now I probably look like a dork standing here spacing out…

"Oh. Um… Yeah, I'm coming."

"Well. You could try to keep walking instead of just standing there, looking stoned." she said kind of sarcastically

"I'm sorry. I just spaced out for a minute that is all."

"Nah, that's fine. Just stop standing there. We are going to be late."

I catch up to her, and I follow her into a huge room filled with the smell of pizza. There is a bunch of dark wooden tables lined with heavy looking benches. The room is crowded with children of all ages ranging from five years old to eighteen or nineteen years old. They are all lined up cafeteria -style next to a long table where workers are filling large plates for them. I get in line with the girl and the workers serve us pizza. I then follow her to a table where a red-haired boy in a striped shirt and vest with orange goggles is playing a videogame. She sits down next to him on the bench and I sit across from them. I start to fill my mouth with pizza, not even caring who the weird boy was who we were sitting with.

"So Mello, who the new girl with you? Did Roger put you on new kid duty as a punishment again?" said the weird looking guy

" That's Bree. Yeah. I got caught trying to get more chocolate from the kitchen. Stupid Roger "forgot" to give me more. He yelled at me a bunch for stealing, and then he decided to make me show her around as punishment. God, he pisses me off. I need my chocolate and he doesn't understand."

" That sucks for you. Nice to meet you Bree. I'm Matt and that girl-look-a-like chocoholic is my friend." said Matt

" Um… Nice to meet you too. Wait? Girl-Look-A-Like? Mello's a boy? " I start laughing

"HEY! DON'T LAUGH! YOU THOUGHT A WAS A FUCKING GIRL! I'M A BOY GOD DAMN IT! MATT!" yelled Mello

"Mello, calm your tits. You are making it worst by shouting it constantly. It's better that she probably found out now than later. Yes, I know it's pretty hard to believe, but yes Mello's a boy." Matt said without even looking up from his game.

Now the whole room looks up and then down again. They are probably used to Mello's random outbursts about being a boy, not a girl. Then Mello, almost as a sign of defeat slams his head down on the table and does not move. It is like a dark cloud was now above him even in this really bright, warm, pizza-smelling room.

"Sorry Mello, I did not know that was the case. It was my fault. Sorry." I said, kind of feeling bad about laughing though it was funny.

" Don't worry about him. He'll get over it. Everyone makes that mistake when they meet him at first. Really, he's a pretty good guy. He just is touchy on that kind of thing." replied Matt with a smirk. There was a groan that came from Mello.

I nod my head in agreement, then I finish eating my pizza. Mello eventually moves his head after fifteen minutes and then started to glare at me with a look like death. I glare back.

"Well… I think I'm going to just leave now and go up to my room to play some games. It was nice to meet you." Matt got up and left.

"Don't leave me!" Mello said dramatically.

"Too bad." and Matt was gone.

Now I was awkwardly left alone with Mello who know doesn't like me that much. Great. Now what shall I do? Mello was the first to speak.

" I'm sorry for not making my gender noticeable. Though, I thought that it was pretty obvious with my voice. Now I have to sit here with you till Kate or someone brings the box of clothes for you. Simply wonderful." he said in a very sarcastic voice

"Okay. What do we do till then?"

Most of the kids in the room had left, and the workers were already cleaning up the tables and putting away the extra food. I hope that it wasn't going to take too long for Kate to come. I really wanted to try to take a shower and sleep. Not to mention, sitting across from Mello was getting really akward.

"Um… Well… I don't know… Can I ask you questions?" Mello says kind of nervously.

"I guess. Can I ask you questions too?"

"Yeah sure. How old are you?"

"I'm thirteen. You?"

"I'm fourteen. Are you Russian?"

"Yes. Why?"

"Your little bit of an accent sounded like one. That's really cool by the way." he replied in perfect Russian

"Thanks. Wait, how do you know Russian? Your accent is perfect."

"I'm Russian myself. My accent just disappeared after awhile of being in England. I've never met anyone else in this orphanage who also is Russian."

"Really? That's cool that you are Russian."

Before he could reply, Roger and Kate came up to us and set down two huge boxes filled with clothing and shoes. I guess this is what we were having to wait for.

"Here you are Bree. I grabbed all the clothing and shoes that we had that was your size. There's also some new soap and clean towels for you in there. Any clothing that you don't want you can put back in the box and take it down to the office. Mello can help you carry your stuff up to your room." said Kate

"You are also allowed to do whatever you want tomorrow since school has not started yet. Classes will be starting next week." said Roger

"Okay. Thank you." I said

Roger and Kate turned to walk away, and Mello and I each grabbed a box and headed to my room. When we got there we set the boxes on my now unmade bed and I took off my boots.

"I have to go, but Matt and I's room is right next door. Feel free to stop in anytime. Oh, and Roger didn't mention this, but you can also go shopping in town if you need any other clothes or stuff not in the box tomorrow or whenever you have a free day. You can also buy new paint and stuff for your room. I have to go. See you tomorrow." said Mello strangely nice.

"See you tomorrow. Thanks."

Mello left, and I sat down on my bed. I started to go through the smaller box of the two. I found towels and new soaps which smelt of honey. I found a new pair of pajamas. They had a soft, black cotton tank top and turquoise bottoms with black flowers. I also found plain white underwear and socks. I decided to put all that stuff in my bathroom and take a hot shower. Something which I hadn't had in a long time. I turned on the hot water. I stripped down and I threw my very dirty clothes in the hamper next to the sink and climbed in. God, it felt nice. I really missed hot water.

After I was finished, I put on my new pajamas and walked into my room. I set the little box and the big box away from my bed. I decided that I would go through it tomorrow since it was a free day, and I climbed into bed to sleep again. I'm almost happy I came here already. Mello and Matt both seem cool. Maybe I'll have some actual friends, who knows?

Okay, finally Alex/Bree finds out Mello's a boy. It was about time… I hope you guys all liked it. Thanks for reading!
