Chapter 8: What?

"FUCK, WE OVERSLEPT!" Matt screamed as he woke up, glancing wildly at his phone.

"What time is it?" Near asked, rolling over.

"8:30 and class is at 9!" The redhead screeched as he stood up, Near jumping as well. "We should go shower, and we can grab food on the way! C'mon, grab a change of clothes and a towel!"

"Alright." the younger nodded as he grabbed a pair of sweatpants and a t-shirt. Matt raced to his room, and grabbed his shower bag and a new shirt.

"Damn, it's broken!" Near swore as he glared at the sign proclaiming one of the two showers was closed.

"No biggy, hop in!" Matt said, as he started stripping.

"W-What?" the white haired boy asked, his cheeks flushing as he tried his best not to look at his undressing friend.

"Save time, and the environment. Shower with a friend. C'mon, Near, tell me you never showered with guys in gym before!" the redhead said as he stepped into the shower, completely naked.

"I was excused from PE." Near admitted, but he started to undress as well, remembering that he had class.

"Whatever." Matt said, turning the water on warm as he started to scrub at his messy hair.

'Look up!' Near thought, as he tried to was himself. He felt very claustrophobic in the small shower, especially with his best friend beside him. He sighed, taking an accidental peek downwards. His cheeks flamed red as a cherry as he accidentally saw his friend's dick. Not too large, but sure as hell not small.

"Hurry up a bit, Near!" the object of Near's mild fascination said, squirting a bit of body wash on his hands, and rubbing some on Near's back. "Just to speed this up a bit."

"Thanks." the younger said, smiling. He was happy that his back was to the redhead's. His face was very red, and Near yawned, before moving his head to rinse the suds from his white curls.

"All ready?" Matt asked as he stepped out, quickly drying himself with a towel, before pulling on a t-shirt and jeans.

"Yes." Near answered when he got dressed. "What's the time?"

"8:45. I'll grab us some waffles, and you can go on ahead. Make sure to text Mello." the redhead said as he ran to the kitchen to drop two waffles into the toaster.

"Alright." Near nodded, pulling out his phone.

Sender: Near River

To: Mello Keehl

Matt and I will be late for class because we overslept. Please inform the teacher.

Sender: Mello Keehl

To: Sheep-bitch

I will, dipshit. God, is it really that hard to set a fucking alarm?

Sender: Near River

To: Mello Keehl

It was late, and we were working on the biochemistry project. Mello could have woken us up.

Sender: Mello Keehl

To: Sheep-bitch

I was crashing at your whore's dorm, I was busy too. Just get your ass here as soon as you can.

"Food's ready, let's run!" Matt said, as he shoved a warm waffle into Near's hands. The white haired boy smiled as he sped after his friend.

"Nice of you to join us, Mr. Jeevas and Mr. River. Do you have your assignment?" Higuchi asked as the two ran in 5 minutes late.

"Here you go." Matt said, handing the lazy professor the assignment before he and Near sat down beside Mello in the back.

"About time you got here." Mello said, sneaking a bite of chocolate.

"Yeah, someone should've woken us up, dumbass." Matt said, rolling his eyes behind his tinted goggles.

"I woke late too. Luckily, Sheep Whore lives close." the blond said, jotting some notes in his notebook.

"Sheep Whore?" the younger asked, tilting his head to the side, "Your insults are starting to suck, Mello."

"You suck!" Mello glared from underneath his fringe.

"You suck! On chocolate!" Matt said, winking. "Near, you've been real quiet all morning. Wassup?"

"Nothing, I am paying attention to the lecture." The youngest said, looking at him slightly startled.

"Oh, I got it." Matt said, as he started taking notes.

"You're an idiot, you know that?" Mello asked, and Matt laughed.

"Yeah, I knew that, Mello." the redhead said, taking his phone out. "Fack, I forgot to charge my phone!"

"Dumb ass." the oldest said, rolling his eyes.

"Smart ass." the goggled-boy retorted.

"Lazy ass." The blonde said, a smirk spreading on his face.

"Fat ass." Matt smirked back.

"It is very interesting hearing you too insult each other with adjectives that end with ass." Near said, looking at his friends.

"Shut up, tight ass." Mello glared.

"Then stop being a loud ass." the white haired boy said, smirking at his academic rival.

"Go back to your notes, shit ass." said rival said, before hitting the dorky boy beside him in the head.

"Kiss my ass." Near said, turning back to his notes.

"Get fucked up the ass." Mello glared, and Matt had to restrain himself from crying from laughter.

"C'mon, let's stop this ass talk." The redhead said, his giggles dying down.

"Class is almost over anyways." Near said, taking a look at the clock. "What do we have next?"

"Nothing until 3 for me." Matt said.

"Same." Mello said, picking up his pencil to continue his notes on microorganisms.

"We should get brunch." the redhead said, putting an arm around his stomach, hiding his growling tummy.

"I heard that." snickered the oldest, and Near chuckled.

"I'm hungry also." he said, as he leaned back on his chair.

"I'm not." Mello smirked.

"Good, you're treating us." Matt said, smiling.

"Hell no, bitch." the blond said, rolling his eyes.

"Selfish bitch." the redhead said, looking over at Near.

"Don't you mean Sexy Bitch?" Mello asked, smirking.

"Damn, you's a sexy bitch." Matt laughed, quoting the popular song.

"Can we please go, Higuchi just dismissed us." Near said, standing up and dumping his books into his bag. Mello and Matt followed, and left the classroom quickly.

"I found a cool place, this way." Matt said an hour later, as he, Mello and Near walked around campus, trying to find a place to enjoy their cafeteria meal.

"Where?" Mello asked impatiently.

"By the fountain." the redhead said, pointing to the tables near the beautiful fountain.

"It's nice." Near said, taking a seat, and setting his tray down.

"Isn't it?" Matt asked, sitting beside him.

"Yeah." Mello nodded, sitting across.

"Oh Gawd." the gamer sighed as he looked up to see a smiling blonde running to him.

"Hey Matty!" she shrieked, sitting beside him.

"Hi Misa." he said, scooting to give her some space on the bench.

"Oh, there's Light! LIGHT, OVER HERE!" Misa screamed, waving the caramel haired boy over. And beside Light was L, a lollipop in his mouth.

"Hi." Light said in annoyance.

"Hello." L greeted, moving his sweet over a bit.

"Why are you here?" Misa asked, looking at L with disgust.

"I passed the entrance exam with an 100. Unlike some people, I got in due to intelligence, not money." the panda-like boy said, sitting in his usual crouch beside Mello.

"Fuck you." the blonde girl glared, and sat beside Matt. She giggled, and leaned her head on his shoulder.

"I don't want any STI's. No thank you." L smirked, and turned around to walk away. Light followed, waving bye.

"We're on our way to class, see you later!" he called.

"That goddamn L is so annoying!" Misa sighed, glaring at the boy.

"L's not that bad, Misa." Matt said, faking a smile. It was obvious to both Near and Mello that he didn't like the girl in his personal space. But, Misa wasn't exactly the brightest ctayon in the box, so she continued getting in the redhead's personal space.

"He is. I knew him since gr.9. He's an annoying smart ass that loves hanging around Light like a stalker!" the gothic-loli fumed, glaring at the fountain.

"Are you sure that isn't Mikami?" Mello asked, and Matt chuckled.

"I knew Mikami since last year. He isn't a smart ass." Misa said, and Near sighed.

"Misa, sorry, but he have class in 10 minutes. We should leave now." he said, standing up. Mello stood up too, and Matt looked over at Misa, who was holding him down.

"Sorry, Misa, I have class. I'll talk to you later, m'kay?" he said, standing up.

"Bye!" she pouted, before throwing her arms around the redhead. He hugged her back for a second.

"See ya." he said, as he ran up to Mello and Near.

"Matty's gotta stalker, Matty's gotta stalker!" the blond sang, laughing. "Seriously though. Made out with one whore, and she's stuck to you like glue."

"I know, right?" he said, sighing. "And thank you Near! You saved my ass!"

"You are welcome. We should go back to the dorms to hide from Misa." the youngest said, as the trio headed back to their dorms.

"Good afternoon." Gevanni greeted, as the three 1st years walked into the dorm.

"Hey Gevanni." "Hi." "Yo."

"L wanted me to tell you that his half-brother is coming for a visit next Saturday." the dorm adviser told them.

"Cool." "Great." "Ok."

"See you guys then."

"Bye." "See you." "Later."

"What do you wanna do?" Mello asked, relaxing on the couch with a chocolate bar in his hand.

"Video games?" Matt asked hopefully.

"Sure." the blond said, making his way to the Playroom.

"You wanna play too, Near?" the gamer asked, turning to his friend.

"Ok." Near nodded, sitting by the television.

"Brawl, Mario cart, COD, or Bio Shock?" Matt asked, listing some of the games.

"Brawl." Mello and Near said, picking up the remotes. They sat like that for the next hour, playing the video game. At the end, Matt won ten times, Mello eight times, and Near twice.

"We have have an hour left to kill. What do you wanna do. And no video games, I'm sick of them!" Mello sighed, putting his legs on the coffee table boredly.

"Mello, would it kill you to not put your feet on the coffee table? I put my cake there!" L sighed, walking into the living room.

"Hey L. Where's Light?" Matt asked, sitting beside Mello.

"His dad called him to his office." L explained, cutting himself a slice of cake, before sitting down on the other side of Mello.

"Huh?" the redhead asked, looking at the panda-boy in confusion.

"The Headmaster." he explained, looking at Matt. "You should really have known that."

"Well, excuse me! I just got here like 2 weeks ago from London, so don't expect me to know shit." Matt said, pouting.

"You're from London?" L asked, smiling a bit. "Really?"

"Yeah. You too?" he said, smiling.

"Yes. So is Light, Misa, Takada and Mikami." the black haired boy said.

"Awesome." Matt nodded. "Mel, Near, where you two from?"

"Winchester." they answered at the same time.

"Cool. Oh, L, Gevanni told us your half-bro is going to visit." The redhead said, stiffing a yawn.

"Mmmhm." nodded L, getting up to grab another piece of cake.

"Mello and I will be leaving now. We have psychology on the other side of campus. See you!" Near said, as he and Mello got up to grab their books.

"Kay. Later!" Matt called, looking at the clock. "I have a good half hour to spare."

"Bye!" Mello called as he closed the door.

"Which district of London are you from, Matt?" L asked, peering at him with large eyes.

"Kengsington." he answered, "You?"

"Bloomsbury." the older said, looking at the television. "B goes to the University of London there."

"I see. What faculty?" Matt asked boredly.

"Advanced Law." L said, "Maybe you should wait until B gets here. You can ask him yourself."

"Ok. I was just really bored. And I better head off to Creative Writing. See ya!"

"Bye!" waved the paler boy as he stared off at the news channel.

A/N:

The first part of this chapter was one I was just DYING to write for so long! It wrote itself :)

I'm going to be home sick for a good chuck of this week, so I'm gonna get a nice amount of writing done! I'm so excited! This is nearing the climax, and I'm getting a truckload of ideas for this story!

I kinda got this idea while I was writing, that I should really start adding a time line at the beginning of each chapter. This isn't a slice-of-life type story like Backstage was, because I'm making the romance span a bit of time, and chronicling their daily routines will bore me to death.

This chapter is set about a week after the story began, FYI.

Please review?
