Chapter 2: Psychotic
"So, what Faculty are you?" Near asked Matt the next morning.
"Hmm, I'm in The Faculty of Arts, English. You?" Matt asked, helping himself to a piece of toast with peanut butter.
"Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences. Psychology." Near said, sipping some of his orange juice.
"Smartass, I see. What about the others?" Matt laughed, smiling at Near.
"Mikami is in Law Year 2, L and Light are Psychology with me, but they are Year 2. Mello is in Psychology also. Year 1, like us." Near explained, smiling back slightly.
"So, I'm stuck with the psychology majors?" Matt sighed, as he stood up. "I have Advanced Math next. You?"
"Same here. I have the same schedule as Mello, so he has that class too." Near said, standing up also.
"Great. Permanent PMS has class with us." Matt rolled his eyes, as he walked to his room, grabbing his textbook and PSP.
"I suggest you try to not piss Mello off as much, Matt." Near said a few minutes later, re-emerging from his room carrying a backpack.
"Why? Priss doesn't even hit hard." Matt said, rolling his eyes behind his goggles.
"Last guy that pissed Mello off got sent to the hospital. For three months." Near explained.
"Dayum." Matt sighed, pulling out a cigarette. "You mind?"
"Yes, but since we are outside, I'll ignore it." Near said, adjusting his backpack.
"Thanks." The redhead said, inhaling poisonous smoke. "So, where we off to?"
"Aizawa's class. That building over there." Near pointed, as the two walked up to the large building.
The class was on the second floor, and was filled with around 20 students. Matt instantly recognized the bright blond head that was Mello, sitting in the front. Looking around, he noticed a girl he knew from his orphanage, Linda.
"Linda! Hey, I didn't know you were going here!" He said, placing his stuff beside the blonde pig-tailed girl.
"Matt? Hey, how are you!" She smiled, looking up from her sketchbook. "Lemme guess, Arts Faculty?"
"Yeah. Let me guess, Arts Management?" He asked, glancing at her sketchbook.
"Yup." She smiled, and continued drawing. "How do you like Winchester so far?"
"It's great. Got nice roommates, one's a bitch though, but they are friendly." Matt said, ignoring the death glare Mello was sending him.
"They have class with us?" Linda asked, putting her stuff down to look around.
"Yeah. Near, and Mello. Near's nice, but Mello is a princess." Matt laughed, gesturing to the blonde and the white-haired boy, both of them sitting in the front.
"The white haired one is cute. His name is Near, right?" giggled Linda, smiling at Matt.
"Yeah." Matt nodded, and at that moment, Aizawa walked in, and looked at the class.
"Welcome to Advanced Math. My name is Aizawa, and I am your professor. This year will be difficult, but if you study, you'll manage. Grab the material list, and I'll see you tomorrow." and with that, he walked out of class.
"So, what do you have next?" Matt asked, and Linda yawned.
"Creative Writing. You?"She closed her eyes, tired.
"Same." He said, pulling out a map to search for the English building.
"Hey, sheep." Mello said, pulling Near along to the Psychology building.
"Yes, Mello?" Near asked, ignoring the use of his nickname.
"Doesn't that Matt guy strike you as strange?" Mello asked.
"Just because he has the balls to stand up to you, doesn't make him strange." Near said monotonously.
"Suck it." Mello glared, sticking his middle finger up at Near.
"No thank you." Near smirked, walking over to his seat. Mello sat beside him, a pissed look on his face.
"In your wet dreams, bitch." Mello said, sticking his tongue out.
"No. I am straight, unlike yourself, Mello." Near said, turning his attention to the front. If Mello was in an anime, he would have a giant vein throb and steam going out of his ears. He glared at Near, and curled his hand into a fist, aiming it at Near's cheek. Near moved back slightly, smirking at Mello as the blond's fist missed by an inch.
"Mello, Near! Is there a problem?" Their teacher, Ide, asked, glaring at the two.
"No Mr. Ide." They answered in unison, sporting fake smiles.
"Good. So, onto class..."
"Yo, any of you freaks have lunch?" Mello called, dumping his books in his room.
"I have lunch, though I wouldn't call myself a freak." L said, peering at Mello from under his fringe.
"Sorry, L." Mello laughed, and sat down on the couch beside the raven-haired man. "So, anything new?"
"No, but Mello should try to be better friends with Matt. You are going to be living with him for the next year." L said, smiling slightly. "Now, if you excuse me, I have a lunch meeting with Light."
"Have fun on your date!" Mello called, rolling his eyes.
"It is not a date, Mello." L called back, sticking his tongue out.
"Hey, anyone here?" Matt called a few minutes later, putting his books away.
"Great, Ginger is here." Mello groaned, rolling his eyes.
"Watcha watchin', Mello-drama?" Matt asked, sitting beside the blond on the couch.
"News, biyatch." Mello said, licking his chocolate bar.
"Dude, I told you, no homo. Stop trynna give that poor chocolate a blowjob. It's creepy." Matt smirked, and Mello gave him his most vicious death glare.
"Repeat that. I. Fucking. DARE. You." He said, a smile on his face.
"Me. Li. Key. Girls. No. Li. Key. Boys. You. Cho. Co. La. Te. Blow-blow. Me. No. Li. Key. When. You. Blow-blow. Cho. Co. La. Te." Matt said, slowly, as if he was speaking to a 2 year old. A very retarded 2 year old. He smiled wide, and nodded.
Mello snarled, and hurled himself at Matt, slapping, punching and kicking everything he can. Matt retaliated, pushing and attempting to shove the older boy off him.
"You mother-fucking, cock-sucking, dip-shit, fucktarded, little fucking cunt wanker!" Mello screamed, his fist grazing Matt's head.
"I only have a dick. Unlike you, I have no cunt." Matt smiled, and Mello slapped him hard.
"Fuck you." He spat, grabbing a bottle of water, and stomping off.
"No thanks. It's too stretched out there for me, and I like 'em tight!" Matt called after him, ducking as a bottle of water was aimed at him.
"I told you you shouldn't provoke Mello. You have bruises and cuts now." Near said, walking up to Matt from the white room.
"No big deal. It doesn't hurt, and it'll heal." Matt said, smiling slightly. "So, wanna grab food?"
"Alright." Near said, looking at Matt's bruises skeptically.
"Welcome to Chemistry 101. My name is Higuchi, and I'll be your teacher." The brown-haired man said, lazily leaning back against the desk.
"Ah, Mr. Keehl, how nice of you to join us." He said, smirking as the fuming blonde stomped in and glared at him. He sat down in the front, not even bothering to look around.
"Hey Mello." Matt said, smiling politely.
"Hey cunt." Mello said, glaring at him.
"Five minutes late, and such crude language? You are really begging for a detention here, Mello." Higuchi said, the smirk still on his face.
"Hn." Mello glared.
"Mr. Higuchi, ignore my rude friend here," Matt said, throwing an arm around Mello's shoulders, smiling, "And please start from the beginning."
"Alright. Now, here are your material lists, and course information. You are dismissed." Higuchi nodded, walking out of the classroom.
"You're welcome." Matt smiled, walking out of the classroom.
"For what?" Mello snarled, rolling his eyes.
"For saving your anorexic ass from detention." Matt said, looking around for Near.
"And you say you're straight when you were checking out my hot ass." Mello smirked, licking his lips.
"Way to be modest, Mello-drama." Matt rolled his eyes, waving over at Near. "See ya later."
"Bye cock-sucker." Mello waved, walking off to his next period class.
"So, Mikami, how was class?" Gevanni asked, leaning against his door frame.
"Boring." Mikami answered, smiling as Light walked in. And the smile dropped instantly as L walked in beside him, licking an ice cream cone.
"Hey Mikami. Hey Gevanni." Light waved, walking over to the other two.
"H-Hi Light!" Mikami smiled like a fangirl, oh, excuse me, fanboy. His cheeks were light pink, and he had anime hearts all over the place.
"Yo." Light said, going into his room, closing the door behind him.
"Good job, Lover-boy." Gevanni laughed, clapping Mikami in the back.
"I hate you." Mikami glared.
"Love you too." Gevanni said sarcastically, walking to his office.
"So, you knew Mello since you were 8? And you're what, 18 now?" Matt asked, looking at his new friend.
"Yes. We went to the same orphanage together." Near said, nodding.
"You two orphans too?" Matt asked, throwing an arm around Near's shoulders.
"Yes." Near nodded, and turned to Matt. "That girl you were talking to in Advanced Math, she seemed a bit familiar. What was her name again?"
"Oh, Linda? Yeah, she's also from an orphanage." Matt explained, taking out his phone to check the time. "It's 5. When do you have class tomorrow?"
"10am." Near answered, and looked at the sky. "Would you like to get some dinner?"
"Duh. Can't you hear my stomach?" Matt joked, and the two left towards the cafeteria.
"And I was like, oh no you didn't, and she was like, hell yeah, I like did!" Misa said, her overly-made-up eyes extra wide as she spoke to a interested looking Takada.
"No freakin' way Misa!" she said, smiling. "Hey Light! Come join us!" she called, waving the brunette over.
"Takada. Misa." Light said, sighing as he sat down with his tray filled with a salad, an apple and chips. L sat beside him, with a tray filled with various sweets.
"I don't get it. You are skinny as a twig, and you eat like a fat ass that is about to get sent away to fat camp. How is that fucking possible!?" Misa asked, glaring at L.
"I use my brain. The brain burns alot of calories if you use it." L smirked, shoving a spoon-full of strawberry shortcake in his mouth. "Mmm, delicious." he moaned.
"Fuck you! I'm on a diet!" Misa complained, glaring at the panda-like boy.
"You have been on a diet since I've met you in high school, Misa. You haven't lost a pound." L said, tilting his head to the side.
"WHAT! I SO HAVE, ASSHOLE!" Misa shrieked, stomping away. She pulled Takada, who was talking to Light, away with her.
"L, you just caused a scene." Light sighed, glaring at his best friend.
"So I have. But I'm gonna get another Jello cup. You want anything?" L asked, standing up.
"Yes, an Advil for my migraine." Light said, closing his eyes and massaging his temples.
"Alright." L nodded, and walked off towards the cafeteria line.
"Hey pretty-boy." Mello said, sitting next to Light in Misa's empty seat.
"Hey Mel-donna." Light said, sticking his tongue out at the blond.
"Where did L go?" Mello asked, shoving a piece of chocolate in his mouth.
"Jello and hopefully, an Advil. Misa is giving me a migraine." Light sighed again.
"Misa is that blond who looks like Mello's sister, right?" Matt asked, suddenly appearing with a tray full of fries, and a burger.
"That slut isn't my sister, Goggles." Mello glared at the redhead that was practically inhaling his fries.
"Compared to you, she isn't a slut." Matt teased, ducking as a piece of Light's lettuce flew at his head. Courtesy of Mello.
"Shuddup." Mello fumed.
"Nice comeback." L said, handing a bottle of water and a couple of pills to Light. Near sat beside them with a small bag of baby carrots and dressing.
"Suck Light's dick." Mello retorted, a crazy smirk spreading on his face.
"I would, but Misa has dibs on it." L laughed, neatly ducking the carrot that Light threw at him.
"That idiot has no dibs on anything of mine." Light ground out, sighing. "Ow. Oww, migraine attack."
"Serves you right for making me sit properly." L glared, sitting in his usual crouch.
"Well, excuse me, Rem fucking hates my guts for rejecting Misa, and she was gonna give us a fucking detention!" Light glared back.
"What a dyke." Mello sighed, rolling his eyes. "What, that bitch hates me for badmouthing Shidoh."
"You should know better then badmouthing a teacher, especially one who's sister is a scary freak." Near said, rolling his eyes.
"Maybe Melly had a blonde moment." Matt joked, and Mello slapped him, standing up.
"Fuck you." He said, storming off again.
"What a drama queen." Matt sighed, rubbing at his stinging cheek.
14 Reviews? *faints* Wow, thank you so much everyone!!!! And thanks for the favourites/subscribes!! You are all so amazingly awesome :D
And sorry for not updating! I've been busy, and I'll try updating faster next time! Think, about a week. If I have the time. But I'm sorry, I have so much projects due DX Eff school sometimes.
Umm, if any of you know a thing or two about uni life, and classes, I'd love your help! And thank you for telling me I'm on the right track!!
Also, for those of you who've read Backstage, should I space out the romance between Mello and Matt(slowly friends, then best friends, then crushing and finally lovers. Like, each stage spanning a few months), or should I make it span a few weeks like Backstage? I just want to know what to plan ahead for.
With love,
Pika-chan
