(A/N well here's the second chapter, well, this is when the boys come into play. WhootWhoot!

Matt: do I really? *not lookin up from video games*

Azza: yush, yush you do Matty! Well enjoy! ^^)

" Hey, Mello look at this! I've almost beat the game!" Vest-boy said, not looking up from his gaming device.

"Matt... I don't care..." Blondie said, I was assuming he was Mello and the other was Matt.

I looked over at Leer, who was staring at Mello. I looked back up at the boys. Our age, definitely.

Shady had a mood swing. At one minute all sulky and the next giggly and happy.

"Hi! What's your names? I'm Shady!" she said to Matt and Mello.

"Umm... I take it you 3 are new?" Matt said, looking up for his game.

"Umm... Y-yeah..." I stuttered.

"I'm Matt and this is Mello..." he said looking back down at his video game.

I looked over at Leer it was obvious she had taken a liking to Mello... But was it that obvious that I had taken a liking for Matt? The questions swirled through my head making me dizzy. I quickly snapped back to reality.

"Good to meet you" I said.

"Yeah, nice to meet you," Leer said, still kinda zoned out.

"Is there... Something wrong with her?" Mello asked sincerely concerned.

"No?" I said, lying.

"I'm fine!" Leer snapped back to reality as well.

"Well how about you guys stop standing in the front room like dopes, and come to the cafeteria with us?" Mello said.

"Okay..." Leer said, and followed closely behind Mello once we walked off.

Shady walked next to Leer and I stayed in the back by Matt.

"I didn't catch your name," he said, looking up from his game.

"Oh it's Mercury," I responded, almost telling him my true name. "And that's Leer, and Shady," I continued gesturing to both of them.

Once we got to the cafeteria Mello and Matt lead us to two other boys. One tall and lanky about 5 years older than us with black hair, and evident insomnia. He introduced himself as L. That sounded familiar... Where had I heard that? Never mind. The other boy once again our age. Maybe a year younger, with white hair and brown eyes. He introduced himself as Near.

"Mello and Near have never gotten along. Ever." Matt mumbled to me.

I wondered why. Near seemed nice enough to me. Although it was creepy that he had no emotion.

L was different. He was charming in a... Very strange way. All he ever ate was sweets. Now come to think of it... Mello had been carrying around chocolate this whole time.

I sat down at the table, and pulled out a piece of paper. I took out my pencil and sketched on it lightly and then added detail. I looked up to see that Leer and Mello were getting along perfectly. Shady and Near the same. L stacking coffee cream containers, but no Matt.

I looked back down at my drawing, and shaded in some parts, then I saw a shadow hovering behind me. It was Matt. I shoved the drawing into my bag, and looked up at him.

"What the hell, Matt?" I exclaimed, "You scared the hell out if me!"

He smiled looking more than pleased, "Good!"

I playfully punched his shoulder, then noticed that Leer and Mello were watching us. Mello raised his eyebrow at Matt, and Matt shrugged. Leer shook her head at me. I mouthed " what?" at her silently.

"Mello isn't used to me hanging around other people but him L and Near," Matt half whispered half spoke.

I felt the blood rush to my face. Was I blushing? No... I don't blush!

A bell rang, telling it was time for class. I looked down at piece of paper Quillish had given to me before we got to the orphanage. I had English next.

"Okay, you can come to English with me." Matt said. "Mello is in the class too."

(A/N don't you just love class guys? Hmm

Mello: sure*bites chicolate*

Matt: I hate class...

Azza: whateves! You gotta love 'em ^^ bai until next time)
