I think this is probably how Matt and Mello met....but thats just me.

Something was poking him, but he ignored it, looking deeply into the gamescreen. The poking continued, but Matt continued to ignore it.

WHACK!

Matt yelped, grabbing his head and whirling around. It was that blonde kid, the one he couldn't tell weather it was a boy or a girl. Instead of hitting the blonde back, he just grabbed his game and scooted over up against the wall. The blonde gave him a strange look, and inquired,

"How come you didn't hit me back?"

Matt peeked back over his shoulder, but then just shrugged and returned to his game.

WHACK! He just looked up at the blonde.

"Are you stupid or something?"

Matt shook his head.

"Then what? You just don't talk? Can't you talk?"

Matt shrugged and replied, "I can talk."

The blonde squatted down in front of Matt, sticking his hand out.

"I'm Mello." Matt shook his hand, not saying a word. Mello grinned.

"You really don't talk much. I like you." Matt just looked at him warily. Just then, they heard heavy footsteps in the hall.

"Mello! You get out here right this instant! Mello!!" Matt stood up quickly and shoved Mello in a closet. Rodger walked in, looking down at Matt.

"Ah, you are the new boy. Tell me, have you seen a Blonde boy go past here? He looks a bit like a girl, wears all black?" Mello held his breath from inside the closet, hoping the kid covered for him. Matt nodded, pointing out the door.

"Yeah, he came in here, looking for somewhere to hide. He ran out the door and down the hall when he couldn't find anywhere. Said something about the Cafeteria."

Rodger smiled at the boy, and thanked him before running out. Mello tumbled out of the closet, and sat next to him.

"You covered for me."

Matt shrugged.

"You didn't have to do that."

Matt shrugged again.

"Don't expect me to do it for you!" Mello yelled at the redhead.

Matt shrugged again and mumbled, "I don't plan on gettin in trouble."

Mello folded his arms and nudged Matt with his foot. "I decided you're my new partner."

Matt just looked up at Mello and smiled.
