A/N: Oh, yeah! I updated! TAKE THAT, PILES AND PILES OF HOMEWORK! -shakes fist-
Okie dokie! This chapter will be a bit of a timeskip, mm'kay?
On with the story! Woot!
It was Science class.
With L as their teacher.
Near should be happy, but he wasn't. In fact, he was currently in a state of annoyance. L had gone to 'do something important', so he left Mello, Matt, and Near in charge of the class for a while. The white-haired boy knew where their responsibilities lie, but Mello and Matt decided to take advantage of the situation and muck around. Matt decided to rummage through L's stuff, in doing so he discovered a secret compartment in the drawers that held L's candy. So, going by the rules of 'finders keepers', he ate it all, with Mello trying to stop him from eating it.
A few minutes later, Matt went on a sugar high.
Oh lord.
He was marching around the classroom singing a crude song to the tune of 'Row, Row, Row your Boat'. Near didn't even bother listing all the swear words in the song, though he did catch something about 'fucking a duck'. Thankfully, Mello ran up to Matt stuck duct tape onto the gamer's mouth, and tied him down to his chair with tape.
"God damnit Matt shut up!" He growled.
"Mmpff!" Matt protested.
Near rubbed his forehead. "Look what you've done, Matt." He droned, looking around the room. "Your sugar high made the classroom a mess, and you've got our classmates scared shitless." And sure enough, the majority of the class was huddled up in one corner of the room, clothes ruffled and eyes wide.
All except one girl. She had brown hair tied up in two ponytails, and was wearing a pink hoodie and a green skirt with black shorts underneath. She was sitting on her chair drawing absentmindedly.
She looked up and rolled her dark brown eyes, sighing. "Are you done yet?"
Near glanced at her, "Yes, I believe Matt is finished, Linda."
"We are so gonna get in trouble with L--err, Ryuzaki." Mello covered his little slip-up quickly.
"Mm, yes you are." A voice sounded through the room. The chocoholic whipped his head around and saw that L was leaning on the doorframe, in his usual white love-sleeved shirt, blue baggy jeans, and bare feet. "Care to explain?"
"When did you change clothes?" Near interrupted.
L shrugged, "When I was out. The formal clothes were chafing me." He glanced at Matt and raised an eyebrow questioningly.
Linda answered for him, resuming drawing in her sketch book. "Sugar high."
"Ah," L finally said. He turned to both Near and Mello. "Didn't I tell you that he is absolutely not allowed to even get near an unguarded pile of sweets?"
"Yes," Near drawled, "About three hundred and twelve times to be exact."
Mello turned to Linda, his eyes showing hints of recognition. "How come I've never noticed you before?" He asked rudely.
"Cuz you're a dimwit," Linda retorted snidely. She'd never gotten along with Mello.
"Can we please get along?" Near glared pointedly at Mello.
"Now, children." L reprimanded, "Don't make me give you detention."
"Pssh," Mello rolled his sapphire eyes, "I've had many detentions before. What could be worse?"
"I'll drive you home," L smirked.
"FUCK NO!"
--
"Hey, wait up!"
The three boys turned around to see Linda running towards them.
"Sup, Linds?" Matt waved cheerfully, despite him recently getting another detention, courtesy of L.
"I was wondering if I could hang out with you." The girl said nervously. "You're the only guys I know that are from Wammy's House, and I don't get along with the rest of the class."
"Back in Winchester, you used to have a massive annoying crush on me." Near pointed out.
Linda blushed, "Err, yeah. I was a kid back then so that doesn't count." She stuck her tongue out.
Mello decided to ask a question that has been nagging him for a while, "How did you get here? And why?"
"I flew. By plane." Linda rolled her eyes. "And I came to Japan cuz a nice couple adopted me just last year, and we moved here. They found out about Wammy High, and decided to enrol me here cuz 'it would make me feel like I was back in the orphanage'." She shook her head and faced the boys. "You are the only guys I'm most comfortable with. Most."
"I'm flattered," Mello said sarcastically.
"I suppose we could give you a chance." The white-haired boy said. Linda's eyes lit up.
"Really?!"
"Affirmative," Near confirmed.
"C'mon!" Near, Mello and Linda turned to see Matt way ahead of them. "I heard they're serving pizzas today at the cafeteria!"
--
"Oops," Kiyomi mocked, "I guess there's no more…"
Matt seethed as the older woman took the last four slices of pizza and placed it on her plate. Behind him, Mello formulated a plan.
"Oh well," He drawled, acting nonchalant.
"Wha--?!" The chocoholic quickly covered his best friend's mouth, preventing him from protesting.
Kiyomi raised an elegant eyebrow, "I thought you were eager to get pizza for lunch." She frowned. "Aren't you upset at all?"
"HELL YES I'M UPS--gah!" Mello kneed Matt in the butt.
"Shut up," He hissed. He then addressed Kiyomi, "I guess Yagami won't be getting his pizza. I'll just tell him you took it…"
The woman's eyes widened. She took her plate and shoved it into Matt's hands. "Tell him it's from me with lots of love!" She purred, glaring coldly at Matt and Mello. The woman then walked back to her table.
Matt looked at the pizza and turned to Mello, "Thanks, Mels!" He chirped.
"C'mon, Near and his girlfriend are waiting for us." Mello dragged the teen to where Near and Linda were sitting.
"About time," Linda said, looking impatiently at the two boys sitting down next to her and Near.
"Sorry," Matt apologised, "We had some trouble conning the pizza off Kiyomi."
Near eyed the pizza warily, "Is that sanitary?"
"I hope so," Mello muttered, "Or else conning Kiyomi would've been a total waste of time."
"Hey, Mello!" Misa's voice rang throughout the cafeteria. The teen turned around and his eyes met with Misa's cheery hazel ones. "Guess what I have for you?" She sang.
"A chocolate block the size of a car?" He said hopefully.
"No," She answered. Mello visibly deflated. "Even better!" The celebrity shoved a backpack into her cousin's arms and sat down beside him.
"Mello, open it!" Linda piped up, extremely curious.
He unzipped the backpack slowly, making sure nothing will pop out. He looked inside, raised an eyebrow, and dumped the contents carefully onto the table.
Behind his goggles, Matt's eyes lit up with childlike excitement. "A spy kit!" He exclaimed, grinning.
"Mmhm!" Misa beamed.
"Why did you give these to Mello?" Near asked, taking hold of a small video camera and examining it.
The older teen's hazel eyes gleamed with barely concealed mischievousness, "I want you to do a job for me…"
