- December 31th in 1999:
I opened my eyes and instantly jumped out of my bed. I was very excited because of the turn of the century. I took a chocolate bar and sat on my bed, as I realised Matt was still sleeping.
After ten minutes though it got too boring for me and I tried to wake Matt up. But Matt just laid there, sleeping. I didn't want to pull at his hair or even hit him.
Then I had an idea. I kneeled in front of Matt's bed and gave him a kiss. It really helped. He slowly opened his eyes and immediately pulled his head back, because he frightened.
Then he rubbed his mouth and asked, "what was that for?"
"Um...I kissed you awake." I explained. "But you could have wake me up else." Matt replied.
"But you didn't react on something else." I answered and changed the subject.
"Today's New Year's Eve. In fact the turn of the century. That will be great."
"No! I hate New Year's Eve. It's always so loud. It's much better to play with my Game Boy then." Explained Matt. After he said that I thought how I could get him out when it was midnight. But I had the whole day for thinking of this, that's why I didn't care.
Once we got to the Dining Hall for lunch we realised, there were only biscuits. "Oh yeah. There is a buffet tonight. That's the only thing I like about New Year's Eve." Matt said.
I was hungry so I took a big piece of chocolate cake. As I finished it, a few crumbs were around my mouth. "You have a lot of crumbs in your face. " Matt said. I wiped my mouth on the back of my hand, but they still were there. "There still are some," Matt said. "Where?" I asked and wiped my mouth again. They were still not off. "They are still there," said Matt. This time, he moved his hand to my mouth, removed the crumbs and ate them. "Why do you eat them?" I asked Matt. "I like chocolate cake." He answered, smiling.
In the evening I got more excited each minute. I could barely await to be outside and watch the firework.
"Three hours left." I sighed, as I looked at the clock. I sat with Matt in the common room and ate my last chocolate bar. Matt sat in a corner at the window and played with his Game Boy (as always).
Suddenly the door opened and Linda rushed into the room. She stood and took a deap breath, because she ran the whole way. "An emergency. We all have to go to Roger,"she said, out of breath. "What is it?" Matt asked. "Dunno. He just said you should come with me," answered Linda. Matt and me stood up and went to her. Slowly Near got up too and moved to us. Then we fastly went to Roger. He was in the Dining Hall and some children were already gathered. As everybody was there, Roger began speaking. "We have a problem. Somebody stole the clacker." Most children were utterly disappointed. Matt didn't seem to be interested, because he just continued playing his Game Boy.
Then Roger spoke again,"I would say we build groups and search the clacker." That was a great idea. Roger grouped us and explained us, which group had to search where. Matt and me went with Linda and Near to outside.
After about half an hour it was really boring. "My toes are frozing," Matt complained. "And my hands," he added. He had forgotten to put on his gloves. "Then put them in the pockets of your coat." I said, but then I noticed that Matt even forgot to put on his coat.
Suddenly an announcement came. "This is Roger. I have some good news. We found the clacker. To all children. Please go back to the Dining Hall. Matt and I were very glad to be inside so that we could warm us up. "It was pretty useless to search the clacker."I said to Matt. He agreed and then it suddenly rang. Roger went to the door and some children followed him. Matt and me too. Then Roger opened the door and behind it stood L. Behind L were a few other people with big sacks. As the children saw L, they shrieked and all at once ran towards him. "Hello my friends. How are you? If you let me in I can give you the presents." L said. The children let go of him and went ahead.
In the common room they gathered again and L and his helpers distributed the presents. L and Wammy chose the right present for every single child.
Once every child had a present L gave a sign and we opened our presents. Mine was as big as a lunch box. As I opened it I couldn't believe my eyes and was totally happy. In the box were ten chocolate bars. I immediately took one, unwrapped it and began eating.
Matt got as already at christmas two Game Boy games. He also was very happy and immediately began playing it.
Then Near unwrapped his present. It was an action figure. He hold it in his hand and stared at it. You never could see how he felt. He was really emotionless, but he seemed to be happy about his present, because he instantly began playing with it. I admit. Every child immediately played with its present.
Then it finally was time: 11:50. Utterly excited, every child rushed outside. I took Matt's hand and pulled him with me. He refused going with me and pulled to the other direction. "Let me go, Mello. I don't wanna got out." Matt shouted. "Oh come on Matt. That will be great." I tried to persuade Matt. "No. This will be just loud." Matt said who continued to aim for getting out of my grip.
"Matt, please. For me." I said. Matt stood still and thought. After a while he said,"Ok. I go out, but just when we go to my favourite place." Matt suggested. I was ok with that and followed Matt. Outside we saw all children gathering together around L.
"This way!" Matt said and went on.
After a while we came to a wall of bushes. I wondered what should be so great about that. As we went ahead(we had to go through the bush), we saw a very big, straight and old tree. A ladder hung from it. I looked up and said surprised,"a treehouse!"
"Right. Come on." Matt answered. He climbed ahead and as we both were in the treehouse I was even more surprised. It was the biggest treehouse I've ever seen. In it were a couple of pillows, a bottle of water and a few of Matt's Game Boy games. In the opposite direction of the entrance was a window.
"Oh it begins!" I shouted as I heard the first signs of a firework. "Hey Matt. You have to look at this. It's beautiful," I said, but Matt didn't listen and just continued playing.
Slowly I creeped towards him with hope he wouldn't recognise that. In a matter of seconds I ripped Matt's Game Boy out of his hands and threw it out of the treehouse. "Hey!"screamed Matt trying to climb out of the treehouse, but I held him and pulled him with all my power to the window.
"Come on Matt." I said and then he finally gave up. He sat in front of the window and looked out. "It's more beautiful than I thought." Matt said. I sat next to him. "What did I say?" I asked and together we watched the wonderful firework.
