Day and Night Four

"He got suspended?" I echoed Ryuzaki's news.

My black haired friend nodded. "Yes. After that beating he gave to that boy he got suspended. Permanently."

"So.. What're your parent's going to do?" Light asked with genuine curiosity.

Ryuzaki glanced behind me and said. "He'll be attending our school now."

I looked behind me and say beyond standing there, not looking the slightest bit frazzled. "Yo."

"...Beyond." I started. "You just got suspended from middle school.. And now you're a freshman?" This was all too weird.

He shrugged and looked around nonchalantly. "I'm smart enough to a freshman, plus I should've been one when I was back at that shit school. I bet I'm smarting than you, Matt." Beyond says.

"Well, um-"

Beyond started asking me all these questions, almost all of them he got right. I sighed and dismissed the rest of them. "Fine, your smarter than me. But are you really supposed to be a freshman?"

Ryuzaki answered this, "Yes, he is. Beyond missed the cut off, so's been the oldest in his middle school and now the youngest in our school."

After that I said something real intelligent like, "...Okay."

A hand smacked down on beyond's head and gave his hair a small ruffle. "Well, well, if it isn't Beyond Birthday, how's life going vampire?"

Beyond jerked away and looked up at who messed his hair up, well it was messy before but now it looked like he crawled out from under a bed. And he usually did that. Beyond's red eyes widened, "You..! Why are you...? !"

I mumbled, "Hi Mello..." Damn, this guy is like a stalker!

Mello replied to beyond's un-asked question, "I had to come here. Got in trouble with.. one of them." he said the last word with his voice full of bitterness. Almost makes me want to know who 'them' is.

Beyond grimaced then nodded in understanding. "I get it..."

"..." This is all so confusing. Who's 'them'? And why do they hate 'them'?

**Lazy transition later**

Rest of the day was boring. Mello pretty much invaded all of my classes, figures. I also heard talk of a new student vampire, which I took to be Beyond since nobody really thought anything of Mello besides him being somewhat popular. Damn that stupid blonde blood sucker, he attracts attention the second he gets here and doesn't give a shit.

On my way to my locker at the end of the day, Misa decided to pay me a visit. "Matt!" she greeted.

"Hey, Misa. What's up?" I asked her, tampering with my locker combination.

"Did you hear about that new student?" She questioned.

"Which one?" I joked and smiled to myself. "Just joking. You mean Beyond?"

"Thats right!" Misa nodded, her blonde hair bouncing up and down. "Why did Ryuzaki's little brother come here?"

"He got suspended from his middle school," I informed her taking out some books and my backpack. I guess Light didn't tell her. It's no wonder he didn't, he doesn't like her. "Beyond got in a fight about being a Vampire."

"Aw, poor boy!" Misa said, sounding somewhat sad. "I'll talk to him later. Thanks Matty!"

"That's all you wanted to know?" I said, slamming my locker shut. "You could've asked Ryuzaki, Misa."

"I wanted to hear it from you. Oh yeah! I almost forgot!" Misa said.

Before she spoke, I felt a hand on my hand and I turned around. "Yo. Who's your friend Matt?"

"Hi Mello..." I grumbled, shrugging his hand off. "This is Misa. The girl who chased you away the other day..."

Mello looked her up and down before holding his hand out to her. "I'm Mello."

Misa didn't take his hand. Instead she practically shouted, "How could you do something like that to Matty? !"

"...Something like what?" Mello sounded completely lost.

I sighed and held my hand up to my forehead. "Oh Sweet Zelda... how can you be so smart and yet so stupid, Mello?" I moved hand back to my side and told him. "She means the biting."

"Oh... yes, that's right," Mello mused, then shook his head. "Misa, you need to know a thing or two about us Vampires. I was closing his wound."

"Sure you were," Misa didn't sound convinced.

"Do you see anything now?" Mello said, reaching up to my neck and brushing some of my hair away so she could see. "There's nothing there."

I swatted his hand away and muttered, "Quit it, I'm gonna miss my ride home."

Misa and Mello were still going at it. "Still! Don't hurt Matty, blood sucker. He doesn't deserve it. Now go away, I wanted to have a private conversation with him."

"Hm, that's odd. I did too," Mello said, narrowing his eyes dangerously at the blonde girl.

Hmm, I thought. Blonde versus Blonde. I wonder how that will turn out... I shook my head to get rid of that thought and said to Misa, "Misa I live right next to you. I'll talk to you when I get home. I only see Mello during school so this is the only time I have to talk. Can it wait?"

Misa bit her lip and looked away, surrendering. "Fine. See you later Matty." without looking at any of us she walked away, the sound of her shoes echoing down the hall behind her.

I let out a breath I didn't even realize I was holding in. "Sorry about Misa... I think she lost her parents to some Vampires but she won't tell anyone. Anyway, what did you wanna talk about."

Mello grabbed my shoulders and shoved me up against the locker. Before I can say anything he snapping at me, "Get out off my head and leave me alone!"

This just confused me even more. "Wha... What?"

"You heard me! Get the fuck outta my head before I kill you!" the blonde growled furiously.

"..." What the hell? "What are you talking about? ! You're the one who basically stalks me!" I snapped back.

"Just stay out of my way Matt!"

"The hell are you talking about? ! You're the one who first backed me into the wall that night! You're the one who found out where I lived and licked my neck and wanted to bite me again, stalker! Then you just show up at my school and bite me again! I don't understand you Mello!" I yelled at him.

"You won't get out of my head! Since that first night, you've been in my head and I want you out!" Mello's eyes darkened until they were tinged with red. "I thought I should be a nice guy and let you live but I should've just killed you when I had the chance..."

I did my best to kick him away ended up just kneeing him in the stomach a little. "Your crazy! Insane! You're the one who won't leave me alone, you've been following me!"

"Because you won't leave me alone!"

"Mello? ! What are you doing to Matt?" Came a new voice.

Both our heads snapped in the direction of the voice. Beyond stood there, Ryuzaki right behind him. Light wasn't here so I guessed he was waiting in his car. Mello backed up and muttered, "Stupid kid won't leave me alone..."

I cleared my throat and said, "I still have no idea what your talking about."

Mello suddenly turned on me, his eyes now fully red. "You stupid kid! Since that night your all I ever think about and you won't get out of my head! It's driving me insane-"

"Er," I muttered to make insane insaner.

The blonde continued, "and I want you to get out of my head!"

I was quiet for a moment then I said, "Mello... are you gay?" He let me know just what he thought about that by punching me right in the shoulder. "OW! ... still didn't say no." Another punch. "Still didn't say no." And now I almost got punched in the face, if I hadn't ducked. "Just answer my question!" I almost yelled.

Mello grit his teeth and mumbled, "No, I'm not. But I can't stop thinking about you and if I even get towards you I hope I don't end up killing you. Its... I don't know!" He grabbed part of his head in one hand while he crossed his arm. "I don't get this at all..."

Me too Mello... I don't get it either...
