Day and Night Three
I have no idea whatsoever to do now. I went to bed, woke up, went to school and now there's some new student- Mello! Sweet Zelda... How did that ever happen?
Light approached me after homeroom, "That new kid. That's the vampire?"
I was so startled by him that I didn't hear whatever he said. "Ah! Oh.. Hey light. Don't sneak up on me like that."
"Answer me," Light said, not even bothering to say hello.
"New kid..." I thought for a moment. "I didn't know we were getting a new kid."
"He's the vampire that Beyond mentioned," Light filled me in quietly. Probably so that kids around us didn't hear.
"Oh! You mean Mello," I suddenly realized. I paused for minute, letting whatever Light just told me sink in. Then, I was pretty much almost yelled, He's going to this school? ! Light must've known I was gonna do this because he cut me off by slamming my books onto the dirty school floor. I stared at him and my books, wide eyes. "...Ah... I... um..."
"Pick your books up, we'll be late for first period." Light mumbled something else but he had turned around and started walking towards the classroom.
A small sigh escaped my throat as I bent down to pick up my books. I didn't get why I was still friends with Light- he wasn't the best person in the world. But Ryuzaki had been friends with me since middle school and when he introduced me to Light well.. I guess we all had to make do with another friend added to our circle.
"Need some help?" a voice said picking up my science textbook.
"Oh, no. I got it- Ahh!" Once my head lifted up to see who was there my heart jumped into my throat. I fell backwards, which I didn't even plan. He was just so unexpected! Really! "You! Your... Gah! What? !" I stammered.
Mello continued picking up my books until every textbook was off the floor. He stared at me, blue eyes never blinking. Creepy much? "What's with you?"
"You.. Just... Ugh!" I ended up whacking myself in the forehead. "Why are you here? !" I demanded.
Mello shrugged and finally looked away from me. "Trouble... Had to attend school all the sudden..." He handed my textbooks over to me and I took them my shaky hands. "I don't really care either way. I at least know someone here."
"Who?" I asked blankly.
"You, idiot!"
"Ohhh!" I breathed standing up. "Whoops..."
"Your not the sharpest fang around I see..."
"That a vampire joke?"
"People say sharpest tool, I say sharpest fang. Got a problem?" Mello narrowed his eyes at me dangerously, looking like they were gonna turn red.
I shook my head quickly. "No-no-no-no! I don't!" I saw Light at the end of the hallway, waiting for me. "Um.. I gotta go."
"What class are you going to?" Mello suddenly asked.
"Language, with Nakamura-sensei."
"That's my first class."
"...Oh.. Great.. Lets go then." I said and broke off into a fast walk, trying to catch up with Light. Jeez, I just seem to shake this guy off! I thought anxiously. Whats it gonna take with this vampire? ! "Sorry Light," I apologized and sped past him. I didn't like to be late for Nakamura-sensei's classes. He was kind of strict about tardy-ness. But other than that he was a fun guy.
Light caught up with me and asked quietly, "What's with the vampire following us?" The brunette glanced behind him at Mello following slowly.
"Mello has language with us...!" I tried to sound enthusiastic but probably failed miserably.
"Of course..." Light sighed and stopped walking when we all got to his class. I opened the door so Light could step inside and Mello afterward. Then I let myself into the room- and I wasn't late. Yes! I cheered silently.
The class was all a buzz- as usual. This is the fun class. Unlike all the other language classes. Nakamura-sensei was funny, made jokes about some of the words, plus he always let us talk but quietly. My guess was he didn't want to disrupt the classroom next door.
Nakamura-sensei was writing out some vocab on the board when he heard the door close. He didn't even have to look at us- "Yagami-san, Jeevas-san, and new student. Take your seats."
I nodded in return, still a little annoyed at my last name. Since I lived alone, I thought it didn't matter to have a last name. No parents, no relatives, nothing. So why bother? Like always, I spoke up, "Nakamura-sensei can you please just call me Matt-san?"
Nakamura-sensei glanced at me, then went back to writing down words. "In this class we do it like they do in Japan so I'm going to use your last name. Maybe later in the year I'll start calling you all by your first names."
Same excuse every time. "Hai hai..." I mumbled and sat down at my desk. One of the girls who sat next to me, I think her name was Layla, started chatting with her girlfriends, "Oh my gosh, look at the new guy! Isn't he so hot?"
One of her girls friends answered her, "Your totally right! Look at that scar he's got... How do you think he got it? Maybe he was in some accident."
Mello must've heard them because he walked over to where they were sitting and asked, "I couldn't help but over hear what you were saying about me. You were talking about my scar?"
Layla started speaking, "We were just wondering how you got it."
Layla's friend, Megumi, started to say, "If you don't want to talk about it that's okay. We all understand! " She looked like she was being overly considerate.
Mello didn't seem to mind. He only said, "Well... you all were right. I got this in an accident. A rather ... changing one at that."
"Oh wow..." Megumi breathe in awe. She was probably imaging some fantasy.
Mello glanced at me and smirked. My mouth almost dropped open. Damnit how the hell does he do that? ! I thought madly. He knows that if he keeps this act up, he'll be popular in no time. Damn, now I wish I had a better reputation!
Layla saw me staring at them and said annoyingly, "What are you looking at, Gamer-Freak? We're trying to talk to the new guy."
"Oh.. I um.."
Mello cut them off, thankfully. "Matt's been showing me around, so I'd like him to saty in the conversation if you don't mind."
And just like that, Layla's attitude completely changed. "Oh no! I don't mind! See, Matty!" She forcefully grabbed my arm and tugged me almost over to her desk. "Don't just sit there, jump in!"
My translation of her words: I'm only doing this for new guy.
I didn't really care. Right now I just wanted Mello away from me.
Nakamura-sensei finished writing down the vocab and when our class saw the amount of words we all groaned in sync. None of us wanted to write down that much stuff. Nakamura-sensei looked confused at us, then glanced at the board. "Oh this? This is for my other class. This is a free period!" He just suddenly noticed Mello. "Ah... and are you the new student we all heard about? Why don't you come up here and introduce yourself."
Mello shrugged and walked up to the front of the room, Layla and Megumi looked a little sad that he left them. Once in front of the room, Mello stood there and scanned the room. Nakamura-sensei started to say to him, "Give us your name and something about you."
Mello crossed his arms and spoke, "I'm Mello. I like chocolate." And blood, I added silently. The blonde vampire continued, "I also have a bad temper, so stay out of way and I'll stay out of yours- got it?"
And just like that, some of the girls swooned while others looked like they didn't want anything to do with him, while some of the guys were talking about him. One guy spoke loudly, "How'd you get that scar?"
Mello's gaze hardened on that boy- then he said, "I got in an accident. No more questions about my scar!" He growled.
One girl asked, "Are you single?"
"Yeah, but I'm not interested in going out with anyone."
Another question, "Are you Goth?"
"Just because I wear black, that doesn't make me Goth, idiot."
One more question, this person must've been smart to notice. "Your teeth.. They look pointed. Are you a vampire?"
I didn't even realize who was asking the question- it was Light. He knew Mello was a vampire, so why even ask that? Mello only replied smoothly, "That doesn't concern any of you."
And now he's successfully gotten a good reputation from just a few answers. Damn this blonde vampire...
**End of the day**
Mello caught me by my locker after school. I didn't hear him come behind me so when I had turned around and saw him face to face with me, I nearly had a heart attack.
"Yo."
"Ahh! ... God, Mello. Don't do that!" I almost yelled at him. "So, what do you want?"
"Tell me how to survive this hell-hole of a school."
"..." I gaped at him. He was probably one of the guys with the best reputation.. And he hated it. "...I don't understand you."
"The girls are annoying as hell, except the quiet ones- they don't bother me. And the guys keep bothering me too. I can't stand this!" Mello fretted. Wow, he actually showed some emotion in front of me.
"So you'd rather be a loser like me?"
"Yeah, why not? These stupid humans don't bug you every chance they get. They actually leave you alone."
"Well Mello... It's not as cool as it may seem..." I sighed and walked away from him, trying to leave the blonde vampire alone.
Suddenly, a cold hand grabbed my shoulder and pulled me back. Hot breath was on my neck as I heard the vampire say, "Who said you could leave?"
Nervously, I gulped and looked around. Nobody was here, probably outside or lining up for the buses. How convenient... "Mello..." I muttered. "I need to go."
"Look, I'll make this quick," Mello started to say forcing me up against the wall. "I haven't eaten in hours and I'm starving."
