B's P.O.V
Roger had announced today that there would be a new girl arriving at whammy's I was very excited since I was certain it was Tala, we had grown close since last time and Tala had insisted L buy her a laptop so that we could still keep in contact, we had spoken daily since the day that L finally agreed to give in to her want, I had been happy talking to Tala as her intelligence far passed that of her age and she was smart enough to hold a conversation with me.

Now I was busy waiting in the hallway along with a few other curious kids awaiting their new arrival, as soon as I heard the door I leaped up, Watari walked in suitcases in hand, next in was L and he was soon followed by a fluffy black haired girl, Roger stood to the side as they walked in and addressed the kids waiting in the hallway "this is our new student Wolfie, she is 10 years old, treat her nicely" he said before quickly walking off, I rolled my eyes Roger had never liked kids which was stupid since he worked in an orphanage/school. I ignored the thought of ripping out Rogers teeth and other bodily organs and instead turned towards the 'new girl' just as she rushed forward and threw herself into my arms "B!" she cried happily hugging me "well hello" I said with a laugh at her enthusiasm, Watari nodded at L before steering me away and glanced back at B briefly "B you may show Wolfie her new room" Tala smiled excitedly and I gave her a piggyback ride to where her room was, once inside I popped her on the bed and took the bag I had hid under the bed "I got you these for your room" I said handing Tala the bag, she peeked inside it curiously before grinning wide and pulling out paint tubs and some brushes "thanks B, want to help me" she said happily, I shrugged and decided why not and with that we began to customize her bedroom "does everyone have to share a room" Tala asked curiously as she looked to see there was only one bed in her room "mostly everyone but your L's daughter so you'll get a room to yourself, and I get one because no one is willing to share with me" I said with a chuckle, she giggled "I wouldn't mind sharing a room with you B" she said giving me a big smile, I felt my face heat up a little but shrugged it off, the room was probably just a bit warm "thanks Tala" I said as I walked to the window and opened it a little "are you hot B, because your face is a little red" Tala stated sweetly, I nodded "just a little warm" I said as I sat by the window, Tala took a seat next to me on the bed "hey B?" she asked looking up at me with a strange look on her face "yeah Tala?" I replied raising an eyebrow "we're best friends right?" she asked fumbling with the edge of her shirt, I shuffled awkwardly, this had always been part of the plan but somehow it felt weird now "sure we are, why do you ask?" I replied looking at her curiously, she just shrugged and said nothing at first before looking up "my daddy doesn't seem to think we should be friends" she said looking a little sad, I frowned a little thinking how I would love to rip L to pieces but shrugged it off "well too bad, because we're always going to be friends" I said casually as I hugged her, this seemed to be good enough for her and she smiled hugging me back. After a long day of organising Tala's room they decided it was time for bed, I was just about to leave when Tala grabbed my sleeve "I don't want to sleep in here alone yet" she said as her voice broke a little, I nodded and lay down on the far edge of the bed next to her "night little Wolfie" I said kissing her on the forehead, she blushed "night B" she said hiding her blushing face in the quilts, I smiled before settling down and heading off to sleep himself.

I woke up with a slight weight on my chest and felt startled, I then realised it was only Tala and so I relaxed "morning little wolf" I said ruffling her bed hair, she giggled sitting up "morning B" she replied with a cute smile and a small yawn, I stretched and stood up, I threw on a new pair of clean clothes and waited for Tala to change into hers in the bathroom, when she got out I headed to the door "come on let's go get breakfast" I said grabbing her small hand and guiding her out the door and down the stairs into the lunch hall, I stood in the queue next to Tala and waited patiently or as patiently as I got until it was our turn, I grabbed a plate piling on pancakes and grabbing a jar of jam I then watched as Tala also put pancakes on and some chocolate sauce, we then picked a seat and sat down beginning to eat.

I watched Tala as she ate happily paying no attention at all to the stares from other kids, I looked around and saw a familiar leather clad blonde stomp over to the table we sat at and sit down opposite me, he eyes Tala curiously "who's your new friend B?" Mello asked tearing open a chocolate bar and looking over for his friend Matt who was just getting ready to sit down next to Mello followed by the small white haired known as Near "this is Wolfie" I murmured gesturing to Tala "and this is Mello he's 13, Matt who's 14 and Near who's 11" I said gesturing first to the blonde with the blue eyes, then to the read head wearing the goggles and lastly the white haired albino boy. Tala smiled and said her hellos which were returned and then I nodded to myself and sat smiling at Tala as Mello and Matt made random conversation. Tala kicked me under the table and I looked up curiously to see a small smirk on her face, I raised an eyebrow at her and she just pointed to a different table, I turned slightly to see L staring at Tala and I, smirking I gave him a wave and turned back to a giggling Tala and stuck my tongue out at her, she smiled dipping her finger in the chocolate sauce and wiping it on my nose, I fake gasped and wiped jam on her cheek "eww sticky" she laughed, I grinned leaning forward and licking the jam from her cheek, I sat back and saw L glare furiously at us, I turned back to Tala who was blushing "I just love jam" I exclaimed bluntly licking my lips, she giggled and shook her head at me. Mello raised an eyebrow at us and turned to me "little young for you isn't she B" Mello whispered, I just broke into a large grin and pointedly ignored his question which seemed to annoy him a little, Tala just shrugged not really understanding Mello's question. The day flew by as Tala and I went to all our lessons and then went to our rooms to sleep.
