Matt POV
It's been two years since I came to the orphanage. In the grand scheme of things two years is a very short time, but a lot has happened in that time. My parents have died, I moved across the country, entered a gifted school, made a lot of friends and realized how good I was at computer programs. Mello was the biggest adjustment though.
We started out with him hating me, bullying me, scaring me, running me out of the orphanage to being my best friend. We did some of the craziest things in the last two years, the best prank we pulled would have to be the one we pulled on Near, we put a bunch of red socks in with his laundry so everything was pink for over half a year!
Mello is crazy, irrational, angry, and has to get what he wants when he wants it, but he is the best ally when it comes to anything. No one messes with him, and now no one messes with me. He's also very respected, and I'm popular because he is. After a while everyone just started grouping us together, where there was one the other was close by.
Eva, Linda, Marcus, Mello and me are a tight group of friends and we do many things together. I still have a lot to learn about the world because I am only ten. It's scary to think in eight years I will be gone from this place. In the two short years I've lived here it has felt more like a home than my own home has ever felt before. Who knows what's in store for the future?
