"You know I'm not talking to you because I care but because I feel sorry for you, right?" Mello said staring at the floor like it held the answers to everything.

"That's what I guessed " Near said looking sadder then ever

"What's really wrong?" Mello said finally concerned for the strange pale boy sitting next to him

"I'm not sure but I wish I knew, I just have this feeling that something is really wrong but I'm not sure why" Near said looking Mello right in the eyes

"Stop looking at me like that!" Mello yelled but then noticed how scared Near was of him. "I'm sorry I know I can be a jerk"

"Then why don't you change?" Near asked being as serious as a heart attack.

"Its not that easy that's like keeping you away from your toys" Mello said never looking Near in the eye.

"So you mean you've tried?" Near asked looking confused at the blonde

"More then once" Mello said reaching for a chocolate bar, "can we talk about something else?" Mello asked

"Like what? We have nothing in common " Near asked saying the truth

"You're right, um…" Mello trailed off leaving Near annoyed

"Mello? Hey Mello" Near said shacking Mello
