Tala had been here for 2 years now and things had been going well she was in most of the same classes as I was since she was ranked high, we had become closer now and were practically attached at the hip. I stretched getting up and pulling on a plain black long sleeve shirt and a pair of black jeans that Tala had bought me for my 18th birthday, I had gotten her a leather jacket and a new skirt for her 12th much to L's annoyance as he didn't much approve of the skirt I had bought, Mello had also had his 15th birthday, Matt had turned 16 and Near had turned 13, I chuckled as I thought about what Matt had told me, he couldn't wait for Mello to turn 16 so he could tell him he loved him, how…pathetic I thought as I rubbed the sleep out of my eyes, I stood up and left the room padding bare foot to Tala's room since we had the day off and knocking noisily on the door, Tala opened it rubbing her hands over her eyes, I couldn't help but stare when I noticed she was only wearing a grey t-shirt that stopped about mid-thigh "uhm want to come get breakfast" I asked awkwardly trying to tear my eyes away from her bare legs "oh uhm B, one second let me change" she said blushing as she ducked back into her room and appeared a few minutes later in her normal clothes "ready" she said with a small smile, I nodded taking her hand and guiding her to the lunch hall, as had become usual we sat at the table at the back where Mello, Matt and Near were already seated eating their own breakfasts. I sat down opposite them and Tala sat down next to me, Mello looked up eyebrow raised "what?" I demanded glaring at him "you're going soft B" Mello muttered "LIKE A KITTEN!" Matt squealed receiving a smack on the head "what kind of kittens have you met that are as violent as B" Near inquired calmly, Matt cocked his head as though in thought then shrugged returning to laying Mario Bros, Near nodded to Tala "morning Wolfie" he muttered "good morning Near" she said smiling then turned to Matt "morning Matty, still trying to beat that level?" she asked pleasantly with a smile, Matt gave a brief wave and nodded vigorously "careful Matt you might damage some brain cells" I sneered sarcastically. Mello just glared at Tala and she pointedly ignored him, Mello then turned to me and I smirked eating the jam off my hand "jealous" I mouthed silently, he glared and then turned away. I chuckled and turned back to Tala "so what do you want to do today little wolf" I asked her as I finished the last of my jam, she tilted her head for a minute thinking and then smiled as she looked outside seeing the snow "let's make an igloo" she said cheerfully, I shrugged in agreement and so we headed back to our rooms to wrap up warmly before we all headed out to make an igloo.
I grinned hurling a sly snowball as Mello as it hit him directly in the face, he glared at me and I shrugged smirk widening, that is until it was wiped off my face by a snowball from Tala "traitor" I yelled as she ran towards the igloo giggling, I dived in afterwards "you are sooo dead" I yelled as I grabbed her playfully, she laughed as I dived on her and I stopped staring at her, she looked down realising that I was pretty much on top of her and she blushed, I hastily moved off her "sorry" I muttered, she shrugged and turned to me quickly leaning forward and placing a soft kiss on my cheek, I felt my face heat up and became annoyed at myself, I wasn't supposed to get attached with her not like this, I was just supposed to use her. I stood up leaving the igloo and rushed off to my room to think.
I sat on my bed and lay back staring at the ceiling, I was already attached but does that mean my plan was ruined? Hmm maybe it wasn't I thought as I smirked, I had a new plan I would corrupt her and then take her away that was I would get what I wanted and I'd beat L at the same time. I grinned the plan was perfect but I would have to wait for a while for this, I had to stay close but not to close, can't have L ruining my plan before it's already set in motion.
I would stay friends with her for four more years and then I could execute the next stage of my plan I thought to myself with a grin.
