Matt woke up first and saw Keiko sleeping next to him. He smiled and leaned down next to her.
"WAKE UP!" he yelled and Keiko shot in the air and Matt was laughing.
"It's not funny," whined Keiko crossing her arms and pouting.
"Aww," said Matt and hugged her.
"Ha you always fall for that face!" said Keiko laughing.
"Hey that's not nice," said Matt.
"Nor is you waking me up so we are even," said Keiko and she got up and went to her room to change, shower, and whatnot.
Something softly hit Mello in his arm that woke him up. He groggily opened his eyes and looked to his felt. There he saw KJ sound asleep and twitching every once in a while. He then shook her shoulder and to his shock, she sat up and looked at his shocked face.
"What?" she asked scratching her head and smoothing her hair out in the process.
"You woke up," he said.
"Was I twitching?" she asked. He nodded. "That's why. I was only slightly awake but not completely."
"You're a strange girl," he said removing the covers that were put over them.
"Thanks, you're not so normal yourself," said KJ as she got up and then left to her room to change shower and whatnot.
Kuro felt that she was hugging something. She looked down and saw Snowy. She slowly turned onto her back and saw Near's back to her right. She then saw him move and then roll onto his back as well. He looked over at Kuro and saw her holding Snowy. He then picked James up from off his stomach and put it on her face. She then picked Snowy and put it on his face as well. They laid there for a while.
"Do you want to go to school today?" asked Near.
"Not really," said Kuro. Near nodded and they continued to lay there and looked up at the ceiling. Their attention turned to the door when I opened and L walked in.
"Not going to school I presume," said L.
"You guessed it," said Kuro. L nodded and left telling the four in the hallway the news. As a group of five they went off to breakfast.
Kuro and Near made their way to get breakfast once school started. No one was in the room which is what they hoped. They ate in silence and then Kuro felt something wet drip down her neck. She put her hand on her neck and saw that it was water. She then looked and saw Near holding a water gun pointed at her. He then pulled out another gun and put it in her hand. Kuro just looked at it then back up at him. When he saw the look in her eye he squirted her then ran to hide under a table.
"Hey! Get back here!" Kuro yelled. She stood and walked over to where he was. She quickly reached down and squirted him before he ran to the other side of the room.
"Come get me!" he yelled. They laughed as they got wet and ran away from the other when they got close.
They continued to have this war until they ran out of water and Watari came and ushered them out. They just smiled at each other and walked back to their rooms. They were soaked, it didn't matter much for Kuro in her black and white pajamas, but Near was in all white, and well you know what happens what white clothes get wet.
They changed and Kuro went into Near's room with a towel over her wet hair and her brush in one hand. She sat on his bed and dried her hair Near soon came over and sat next to her with a towel on his head and was drying it as well. Kuro then went to brush her hair but Near grabbed the brush from her. She turned so her back was to him and he brushed it gently.
"Thank you," said Kuro.
"I like your hair," said Near.
"No I mean about the water fight. I haven't had that much in a while," said Kuro. Near just nodded and continued to brush her hair. Once it was smooth she turned and took her brush back and brushed his hair. When they finished they pulled out a few robots and started playing with them.
"And now our interesting report on Romeo and Juliet from KJ and Mello," said the teacher in the back of the classroom.
"Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy of love and trust between two people. A secret love banned by their families. The Capulet's and Montagues have been long time rivals but Juliet being a Capulet and Romeo being a Montague was not enough to keep the young lovers apart. After all it's just like Juliet said 'what's in a name? It's just a name," said KJ.
"Throughout the story there is violence, death, mistakes, and, of course, romance. The whole tale takes over a time period of only five days but each minute is important," said Mello.
"The setting is in old Italy with the main characters of Juliet, her parents, Tybalt, her Nurse, Romeo, his parents, Benvolio, Malvolio, and the Priest. All are important to plot and help the other characters," said KJ.
"Very Well done, you may take your seats," said the teacher hearing the concluding voice KJ had. The teacher wrote a few things down on a clipboard while KJ and Mello put their board against the wall and too their seats.
"They are fools," said Mello.
"Fools in love," said KJ and then they went silent at s the teacher talked to the class. The class soon ended and they left to get lunch. L was with Kuro and Near already at the table. He was sitting between the two as they both were staring at him.
"What's wrong with these two?" asked KJ as she and Mello sat down soon followed by Keiko and Matt.
"Watari has informed me that these two, this morning, had a water fight in here and I merely took their water guns away and hid them," explained L.
"Are you serious?" asked Keiko looking at the three.
"Yep," said Kuro crossing her arms, still looking at L, who just sat there eating a piece of cake.
"So how did your presentation go?" asked Keiko looking at KJ.
"Fine," said KJ.
"I hate that story," said Mello taking a bite of chocolate.
"It was all right," said Matt with a shrug.
"So what did you two do all say after your water fight?" asked KJ looking at Kuro and Near whose attention was still completely focused on L.
"Nothing of importance, but I already know what we're doing this afternoon," said Kuro. L looked at her and they just sat there glaring at each other before Near helped her glare at L as well.
"Well isn't this an awkward silence?" asked KJ.
"Not anymore since you talked, and you're far from silent," said Mello.
"Remember how I said I would kick your butt? Would you like me too?" asked KJ.
"I dare you," said Mello.
"I'll get you back when you least expect it," said KJ.
"I hope I'm there when it happens," said Keiko.
"That would be something to see," said Matt.
"Would you two stop staring at me?" asked L looking back a worth between Near and Kuro.
"Water gun," said Near and he put his hand out watching for L to pull it out and put it in Near's hand.
"And we'll stop," said Kuro following Near's actions.
"No, Watari will get upset again," said L and he got up and left taking his plate full of cake with him of course. Kuro sighed and sat in L's chair and put her head on Near's shoulder.
"We'll find them later," said Near.
"Of course we will," said Kuro.
"You two are weird," said KJ.
"Their just water guns," said Keiko. Then everything went silent before something soft hit Keiko's head. She picked it up off the ground and saw James.
"JAMES!" yelled KJ as she reached for it. Keiko held it away from her and Mello grabbed him and looked at him.
"KJ's right you are strange," said Mello as he observed James. Mello then felt something hit him and he looked down and the white bear that landed in his lap. He picked it up and looked at the two stuffed animals.
"You're such kids. You need to embrace technology," said Matt as he held his game boy up and then started to play it.
"Give me James!" said KJ reaching over to Mello. He handed the spider to her and then chucked Snowy back at Near but his aim was off and hit Kuro in the face.
"Hey that hurt, his bead eye hit my nose!" said Kuro as she rubbed her nose.
"My James," said KJ hugging James. Kuro just stood up, walked over to her friend, grabbed James quickly, and sat down next to Near and hugged her stuffed spider.
"He's mine," said Kuro. She then reached down and grabbed Snowy and hugged him as well and then just closed her eyes while using Near as a pillow.
"I'm going to go get some food," said Mello and the others got up as well and went to get food, well except for Near and Kuro.
Lunch finished and the others went back to class while Kuro and Near went to L's room.
"He knows that we would look so he would hide it well, and probably high," said Kuro. They searched everywhere they could before they got to his closet. They looked up at the highest shelf in the closet and then looked at each other and nodded. Near got down on a knee and supported Kuro as she used the wall so she didn▓t fall over and looked around on the shelf. She grabbed their water guns and then she fell back. She slowly got up and tried to rub her back. Near walked over and held a hand out for her. She just put his water gun in his hand and stood up. They left the room and went back to their hallway and into Kuro's room.
"Tomorrow class we will be doing a lab, and please refrain from doing something other then directed like last time. I understand you know what happens if you mix a few of these chemicals together, you don't have to show off," said the teacher looking over at Mello and then turning his attention to the board.
"That sounds more like something Matt would do," said KJ leaning over to whisper to Mello.
"We played truth or dare the night before, that was my dare. He always tells us the day before when we're doing a lab so we knew," said Mello.
"That's priceless," said KJ.
"Speaking of truth or dare, now we have girls in the mix we should play tonight," said Mello.
"You and your teenage hormones," said KJ rolling her eyes.
"You'll get them too in a few years," said Mello with a slight smirk as he thought about it.
"But I, unlike you, am going to be able to contain them," said KJ.
"Not if I can help it," said Mello and he leaned back in his chair and smirked while looking ahead at the board.
"Don't forget class your projects are due on Friday, I know a few of you have already finished and are waiting, just so that we have time on Friday please present those projects tomorrow. Now I will like to get a list of names of the ones who have finished and will present tomorrow," said the teacher, "please raise your hand if you have finished."
Keiko and Matt raised their hands and waited for the teacher to call their names. Once she did they put their hands down and waited till she started talking about Shakespeare's life.
"I can't wait for the lab tomorrow. I bet the teacher isn't letting Mello do the lab after I dared him to explode the chemicals last time," said Matt.
"Nice. Speaking of dare, I haven't played truth or dare in a long time. Kuro didn't care since she's never embarrassed or too scared to do anything, but KJ hates the game," said Keiko.
"We should play it tonight," said Matt," Mello likes the game, Near doesn▓t' really care unless it's really extreme."
"We will play it tonight, definitely," said Keiko. Mat smiled and nodded and then the teacher glared at them and they shut up.
"Ah freedom, I wish we could freely ditch school once in awhile like Near and Kuro," said Matt.
"But Kuro has a reason and she somehow got Near in there as well," said KJ.
"Yea I know," said Matt.
"Oh Matt and I decided that we are going to play Truth or Dare tonight," said Keiko.
"Fine with me, but none of the dares involve chemistry," said Mello glancing at Matt.
"Whatever do you mean?" asked Matt fluttering his eyelashes at Mello and Keiko laughed while KJ smirked. Mello pushed Matt a bit and kept walking while the girls followed and Matt ran to catch up and they walked back to their hallway. KJ walked into Kuro's room to see Kuro and Near on the floor and Kuro was showing a scar she had on her ankle.
"What are you doing?" she asked.
"Scar stories," said Kuro.
"Oh yea, isn't that the one you got from your cat?" she asked.
"Yea right before she went missing," said Kuro.
"Well tonight we're all meeting in Matt's room after dinner," said KJ and she walked out.
"Any idea what this is about?" asked Kuro looking at Near. He just shook his head. Kuro shrugged and went back to explaining the scar.
"We get to do a lab tomorrow!" said Matt happily as they sat at dinner.
"Leave Mello alone," said L.
"Yea I know, everyone told me to," said Matt sulking a bit but then taking a bite of food.
"Just make him do another embarrassing thing in another class," said Kuro right before taking a sip of her root beer.
"Hey, shut up, don't give him ideas," said Mello.
"It is a good idea though," said Matt.
"Yea, L said not to give him a dare related to chemistry, but we have five other classes that are just as 'fun'" said KJ with a smirk as she turned her head to look at Mello. He glared back at her.
"Shut up!" yelled Mello.
"Oh stop PMSing I'm trying to eat with out your yelling," said Kuro.
"I knew there was a reason you didn't have shorter hair," said Keiko. The others laughed, snickered, or went on to make fun of Mello's hair.
"But in all honesty, he just isn't Mello without long hair. Just keep it at that length and not as long as my hair or Kuro's," said KJ sighing.
"Ugh," said Mello as he put his head down on the table, missing his plate by a few centimeters.
For the remainder of dinner they all just talked to one another, well KJ was trying to get Mello to sit up and finish eating because slouching only worked for L.
They all headed upstairs and went into Matt's room to get the horror-I mean- game over with. They sat on the floor in a circle in this order: Matt, Mello, KJ, Near, Kuro, Keiko. At first they silent but Matt decided to start.
"So Mello," said Matt turning to him.
"Why me? There are newbies in the circle pick on them," said Mello groaning.
"Because it's entertaining to pick on you," said Matt.
"That-" started Mello.
"Suck it up and just tell him truth or dare," said KJ.
"Fine truth," said Mello rolling his eyes.
"Are you jealous of Romeo that he got the girl of his life?" asked Matt.
"For a whole five days? Well, even so, not really Juliet was like ten years younger then him, that's too young for m so there isn't anything to be jealous of," said Mello.
"Interesting, okay your turn," said Matt putting his hands on the ground behind him and leaning back and watching Mello as he looked around the circle.
"Keiko," said Mello simply.
"Hmmm, dare!" she said.
"Go hide all of Matt's video games and consoles before we let him go after you," said Mello grabbing onto Matt as he struggled. Keiko shot up and grabbed all of the games in the room and left to go hide them.
"Mello, you bastard!" yelled Matt still struggling.
"I believe the saying goes, revenge is sweet," said Mello.
"Let me go!" yelled Matt.
"KEIKO I'M LETTING HIM GO NOW!" yelled Mello.
"Fine by me," said Keiko appearing in the doorway and then taking her seat. Mello let Matt go and he rushed out of the room and you could hear him scurrying through each room.
"All right Keiko, go," said KJ.
"Ummm Near, truth or dare?" she asked looking at him. He looked at her for a moment.
"Dare," he said.
"You have to cling to L all day tomorrow," said Keiko, "actually cling, whether it's his leg or arm or whatever." Near just nodded. Matt soon came back in and looked depressed having only found his old games. He took a seat in the circle and Near looked around.
"Just hurry up and pick," said Mello.
"Mello," said Near simply.
"Again?!" he asked.
"Truth or dare," said Near.
"Dare," said Mello crossing his arms and glaring at Near who just blankly looked back at him.
"Give me all you stash of chocolate, KJ if you could help find all of it, you will have to live without your addiction for 24 hours starting now at 7:34," said Near. Mello looked like he was about to die but reluctantly reached into his pocket and pulled out some chocolate and then got up and went to his room returning with a box full. After all he couldn't ignore a dare, and definitely not by his rival. KJ left to go check and came back with nothing but one chocolate bar that she found under his mattress.
"My turn, KJ truth or dare?" he asked her. She looked at him cautiously.
"Truth," she said slowly.
"If you had to date one of the us who would you date?" he asked.
"Near, because he wouldn't leave the house and I can just go do whatever I wanted and he wouldn't care," said KJ.
"I think he want you to say him," said Keiko leaning over and whispering to KJ.
"As if, I'm only eleven geez," said KJ shaking her head at Mello's ignorance of her age.
"Go KJ," said Matt finally getting over the loss of his hidden video games and consoles.
"Who hasn't been picked on yet?" asked KJ and they all turned and looked at Kuro.
"Dare," said Kuro.
"Knew it, you never pick truth," said KJ.
"Then maybe next I'll pick truth just to mess with you," said Kuro.
"You're bluffing," said KJ.
"Am I?" asked Kuro smirking slightly at her.
"Damn you Kuro, well all right, come to school tomorrow," said KJ.
"I was planning to anyway so you just wasted a dare," said Kuro.
"Ah poo," said KJ.
"Hmm Mello," she said.
"Dare," he said between clenched teeth.
"Kiss KJ, yes I know you're eleven but hey if you find a guy now you won't have to worry about it in the future," said Kuro before KJ could intervene. Mello got up and kissed KJ very lightly on the lips and then went back to his seat. KJ was glaring at Kuro for the rest of the night.
Nothing much happened after that, Near and Kuro had to switch pajamas, Keiko had to sing to Matt, Matt had to use his goggles to flick Near's dice at Mello, KJ had to have her glasses taken away (making her blind), and Mello had to act nice to the other kids in class tomorrow. All that happened before L came in and made them all go sleep. So they went to their respected rooms after fighting over the bathroom to brush their teeth and stuff (it is England they have to worry about their teeth with the dentistry there).
