-Okay, I'm not gonna be a YOU-BETTER-FREAKIN'-REVIEW-OR-ELSE Nazi, but reviews are nice.-
"What the hell, Near!" Mello starting wiping his mouth off on his sleeve. Near sat in a chair near Mello and grinned. "Who's the better kisser now?" he snorted. Mello was disgusted. "I don't care!" and he stormed off to do his work elsewhere. Near sat there for a minute, then started on his puzzle of a fluffy bunny. Reminds me of Mello... but doesn't everything? He quickly, yet steadily, finished the puzzle and treaded over to the LEGOS.
"Damn Near... Why'd he have to kiss me? Why the hell is my heart thumping? Am I having a heart attack?" Mello enjoyed hearing his own voice. It calmed him down. Odd, but true. When he was finally where he wanted to be, which was outside, he took in a deep breathe. "Ah. Fresh air; feels good." he let out the breath, and picked up his pencil. But he was rudely interrupted by Linda.
"Hey, Mello, wanna play kickball?" she said leaning in close to his face with an idiodic smile on her face. He growled, "No, Linda. I am writing something, I'll play later." even though he knew that was probably a lie. She frowned. "Fine." and with that, she walked off.
Maybe outside wasn't the best place to work... he put his hand to his chin in a thinking gesture. So he treaded inside once again and decided his room was the safest, and most quiet, place to be. There, he would be undisturbed. And he was right.
When he reached his desk, he turned on the laptop laying untouched in front of him. He played around with a few programs, deciding handwriting his paper would be best. Once he finally finished, he made his way to Roger's office to turn it in.
"Very nice work, Mello. I'm very impressed." Roger examined his paper. Mello grinned. "Why, thank you, Roger." he commented, but was startled when Near walked in. "I also have a paper to turn in." he said blandly. Dammit, Near! You knew I was writing a paper for Roger and you just wanted to ruin everything! Mello gritted his teeth. Well, guess what? There's no possible way you could have beaten me. Mello grinned evily as Roger reviewed Near's paper. He fiddled with the glasses on his face, not a good sign. "Sorry, Near, but Mello's paper was better written. I believe his work is finer than yours this time." said Roger.
"Okay." Near shrugged.
"What? How could you be so calm about it? Roger just said he wouldn't accept your work!" Mello rose his arms for effect.
"Oh, well. Better luck next time, aye?"
Mello's not so happy, eh? -laffs-
Well, I have to go camping this weekend, even though I don't want to, so I'll update sometime next week.
Thanks for the reviews I got last chapter!
