Matt hopped up as the class rang for a break session, "Hey, in case I'm not back in time, take notes for me." He gave Beyond a quick poke. Beyond silently waved him off while nodding, head still on the desk.

Matt walked out of the class and bumped into Paul, "Back so soon for round two?"

He smirked, "Go ahead, I won't tell your dad, who I'm going to see right now. Or would I?" Paul narrowed his eyes and shoved Matt out of the way. Matt smirked smugly over his shoulder and continued to the Dean's office. He stopped at his assistant's desk. She nodded and got up.

She walked out of the Dean's office and waved him in. Matt stuck his head into the office curiously, "Mail! Come on in!"

Matt winced at his name and walked all the way into the office. "Please, call me Matt."

The Dean smiled and wrote in pen on Matt's file, 'Matt'. "What's up young man? Here for your request? Of course you are, lay it on me."

Matt raised an eyebrow at the casualness of the Dean, "Um. I want a video game system. Maybe a TV?" Matt bit his lip nervously.

The Dean raised his eyebrows, "Seriously? Hmm, I can do that… Seriously? Nothing else?"

Matt blinked a couple times, "I can have more?!"

The Dean busted out into a belly laughter, "Well, we can see."

Matt furrowed his brow in thought, "Well, I'm already here on scholarship. I can't really think of anything else I want, maybe, I could have another different game system?"

The Dean smiled, "Alright, make a list and I'll see what I can do."

Matt eagerly wrote his list and handed it to the Dean. "Thank you, sir." Matt smiled, "I should get back to class." Matt waved and rushed out of the office and ran down the hall.

The Dean put his glasses on read over the list, "A strange group indeed."


Matt ran into the classroom as the bell rang for break to be over, he sat in the chair and glanced at Beyond who seemed to have fallen asleep. He chuckled and poked Beyond's ribs, his eyes flew open, he sat straight up and shouted, "I told you I didn't eat it!"

Matt stared in shock along with the rest of the class and the teacher raised an eyebrow then started his lesson again. Beyond blushed a little from embarrassment and opened his notebook. L smirked, "Well. At least I know he's telling the truth now."

The class droned on, Light tapped his pen on his paper staring blankly at the board. "This, by far, has to be the most boring class I've endured all year…" He thought to himself as he rolled his eyes.

A notebook nudged his elbow and he shifted his eyes to the page. Clever, Mello leaves his notebook close enough to not raise suspicion of 'passing notes' in class but still have a conversation. Light smiled as he read the page, "I don't even know what I want to ask for."

Light clicked his own and wrote on the page, fortunately Mello is right handed and Light is a lefty. "Well… What's important to you? It doesn't have to be limited to just the time you're here. I asked for tuition help."

Mello read his message and widened his eyes, "Seriously?" Light only nodded in response. Mello started writing again, "So, I can really do that? That would help my folks out so much. Thanks, Light." Light smiled.

The final bell rang after a long day. Matt gave Beyond a sharp elbow, "Hey man, what's the problem, are you not sleeping well?"

Beyond stretched, "No. I'm just really tired today and I don't know why."

L sighed, "If I'm keeping you awake just say so."

Beyond waved L off, "No. You're not the problem. I don't just, just sleepy I guess."

Nate smirked, "Says the boy who set off a smoke bomb in the hallways. Probably karma."

Beyond smiled, "Probably."

Mello sat thinking, "Light, would you go with me? To the Dean's office?"

Light shrugged, "Sure, but what do you want me for?"

Mello smirked, "So I don't ask for something stupid, keep me on track."

Light laughed and nodded. Mello stood up and started putting his books away, they walked out of the classroom making small talk on the way to the office. Some of Light's friends from the athletic division waved to both of them and they waved back. As they passed a group of Mello's friends from the theater division they all waved and greeted them. They were stopped by the group and Mello chatted with them, Light looked over his shoulder and sighed and pulled Mello out of the way of Beyond sprinting through the halls.

"I'll fucking kill you, Birthday!" Paul yelled at the top of his lungs.

Beyond ran passed them then ducked in the middle of the group and held his finger up to his lips. Then furrowed his eyebrows at Light and Mello, "What are you guys dating now?"

Mello blushed bright red, "No!" He tugged away from Light's arm, "He pulled me out of the way so your clumsy ass didn't run me over!"

Beyond nodded rubbing his chin, "Yeah. Probably would have trampled you." The group all chuckled. Paul ran passed them looking for Beyond. He rounded the corner and Beyond slipped out of the crowd and used both index fingers to point at the group, while walking backwards, "Thank you, and I will see you fabulously fantastic people later!" Beyond made a quick break for their room.

Light sighed, "Only he could pull something like that. Let's head up to the office, alright?"

Mello nodded and bid his friends farewell and walked with Light. Leaving the group to whisper about what Beyond said. "You know a nasty rumor is going to start now, right?"

Light shrugged, "I don't really care. Like I told Nate, I have bigger problems then who I'm dating or sleeping with." They waited outside the Dean's office.

The door opened and Mello stood up.
