An.
My apologies for being so late with this, I'm just not doing so hot trying to figure stuff out. I'm not even completely sure how to upload chapters and to be honest, getting the last chapter up was an accident…I hope I can get this one up.
Anyway, I'd like to thank cakeface-sempai for helping me out BIG time. I honestly couldn't have done it without her.
I'd also like to apologize for how suckish my last chapter was, but as I said, it wasn't exactly supposed to be put up, so…
I've got a lot on my mind right now and the pre-writing part of this fic is done, so I began pre-writing the sequel to this…it's a lot better in my opinion than this fic is but I'm kinda stuck…heh heh…sorry for rambling.
Berry-Chan
Suddenly mello stormed in the room dragging matt by the collar of his shirt. Matt pulled away from his friend's grip, in the attempt not to look like a slave or something in front of Linda. Matt sat down on his bed.
"h-hi…Linda" matt said blushing slightly. He pushed some of his hair back from his face, trying to look cool.
Linda giggled. Not in a flirty way, but because he looked like such a desperate idiot.
"Umm…excuse me." Near said in a barley audible tone "but I thought her name was lyza"
"AHH…HOLY CRAP!" matt fell off his bed. That had completely scared him to death. Who the hell was talking? Matt looked up at the bed where near was sitting in his usual one-leg-up style.
Mello burst into laughter.
"See, matt. I told if you kept all those chips under your bed, a rat would move in with us!"
Near put his hand to his head and pulled down a strand of his hair. Then, in a trailing off soft whisper more to himself, he said
"I don't look like a rat…"
Linda's thoughts snapped back to today, pushing the events that happened yesterday back into its place. She sat quietly watching the boy with white hair skillfully balancing dice on each other, attempting to construct a model of their pity prison, wammy's house.
They were waiting for the man…well…or woman…known as L. When the two of them had been told L had wanted to meet them, they were flattered. mello had assured it wasn't a big deal, and not to flatter themselves, it happened to every new kid.
They were still flattered.
Near suddenly stood up.
"I need a few more dice, Linda. I'll be back soon."
And he left.
Mello kicked his innocent nightstand in complete fury.
"this can't be happening!"
Mello checked the lists of classes he had been told to hand to Linda and near again. Nope. Still there.
"well…maybe…karma is punishing you for peeking at their class schedules."
"Are you kidding? Karma?"
Mello walked over to matt's bed where he was playing yoshi's island and slapped him in the back of the head.
"That's gotta be the most retarded thing you've ever said!"
Matt rubbed the back of his aching head. Mello hit hard.
The deal was that Linda and near, two little kids, two years younger than him…were in the same class!!
"W-well…I don't see how you can make such a big deal out of this. I mean…it's not unusual for about the top 7 to all be in the same class…we're in order from 1-4 and they almost always are in the same class. Besides they're nice…near so quiet and he can't possibly be a threat to your top ranking. Linda is…nice too."
Mello spun around from his pacing.
"What are you talking about, him not being a threat? He already knocked you out of 2nd! What's with you and Linda anyway-…you like her!"
He burst into laughter again.
"Man…I was joking before but…"
"n-no! I- I just think…she's pretty…is all…"
He blushed a shade of pink he had no idea existed.
Mello sighed. Why the hell would anyone want to like a girl? Why couldn't there just be boys on the earth? What were girls even used for? Why was he asking himself questions he didn't know the answer to? He had been told one that girls were from Venus. Maybe they were supposed to keep alliances between earth and Venus solid.
Just then, near came in.
Amazingly, like he knew what mello was thinking, he said simply
"Girls carry babies around in their tummy, and get moody and stuff, and become mommies."
Mello rolled his eyes. That much he knew from when his little sister was born, what he really wanted to know was how a baby could get into a girls tummy.
"Oh yeah? Well I bet you know how a baby could get in there, too, huh?"
"I do"
Mello was angry and interested too.
"Tell me!"
Near sighed and looked up from the drawer he attempted to find dice in.
"are you sure you wanna know?'
Mello was getting impatient.
"Yes, yes…just tell me!"
He climbed down from his bed with his dice in hand. He walked over to him, stood on his toes, cupped mello's ear in his own small hand and whispered the explanation in his ear.
Mello jerked back when near was done.
"HOLY SHIT, THAT"S DISGUSTING!!"
Seemingly unphased, near scuttled out of the room.
"What did he say?"
Mello's eye twitched slightly and her got down on all fours to look under his bed for something.
"N-nothing."
Mello pulled out a hair brush with a few auburn hairs standing out around the blonde.
"Matt…did you use my hair brush?"
"no." matt lied.
Linda.
"Ugh…stupid girl…get your own hairbrush!"
And he stormed out of the room to find Linda.
"Hey near?" Linda asked as near finished his model.
"Can I…destroy it?"
Near looked up at her.
"Why not.
Linda stood up and kicked the bottom a little until the whole thing came down, without two of the dice being together.
"Yes…perfect!"
Just then, mello stormed in the room headed strait for Linda. He pushed near out of the way and grabbed the collar of Linda's shirt, bringing her so close it made their noses brush a bit.
"YOU USED MY HAIRBRUSH YOU STUPID IDIOT?!"
Linda blushed a bit at their faces being so close and calmly removed his hand from her shirt.
"No…I didn't, stupid."
"DON'T CALL ME STUPID"
"sheesh…do you wanna break my eardrum?"
Mello's temper was rising so high, while Linda smirked, a bit amused at his reaction.
Mello just couldn't take it any more. He pulled back his fist ready for a punch. To his surprise, Linda grabbed his fisted hand and twisted it hard and pulled it to his back, causing him to shriek out in pain. Suddenly she rammed the twisted arm into his back, making him fall to the floor. She straddled his hips keeping him down on the floor.
"You try to pull something like that again and the arm comes off."
She whispered to him, smiling evilly.
She let go of him and he immediately ran for the door and slammed it shut.
Near just stared. She looked bat him offering him a hand up, which he took, and stood on his own two feet ignoring the pain in his butt from the fall.
"Wow, Linda."
"heh…well…it's okay, I'm protective of my friends."
There was that word again.
"But I'll be in big trouble…I think L set up cameras around the room."
Was something so intelligent coming from her mouth?
That's when it hit near that if Linda tried, she could probably be number one at wammy's.
