"Mello? Are you listening to me?"
I looked up, startled, eyes widening. I find Weddy and Halle peering at me with eyebrows quirked. Weddy and Halle are good friends, though they don't hang out a whole lot at school since Weddy is an upperclassman. I rub my eyes -I had no idea what they were talking about. I hadn't even realied they were there. I was so tierd... i hadn't slept at all last night. I could thank my brother for that. I had gotten lucky when I got home - he was there with some black haired whore. But the noises they made kept me up all night anyway. When i finally fell asleep, i only woke up an hour later to hear my mother screaming at him. I ended up coming to school early, sneaking out the back window.
"Not really," I admit, rubbing my eyes and yawning. Weddy rolls her eyes, but Halle squeaks in defiance, corssing her arms over her chest. "Sorry. Long night."
"Well, if you even care," Halle continued, her voice a bit defiant, "I was here to show you this." I blink in half-surprize when she slaps a peice of paper on my desk. My eyes widen a little when I see it - it's a flyer for a school dance. At first I don't understand why she's showing me, and then i read the title again. 'Spring Fling Dance: Girl's Choice!" I curse under my breath when i read it, tossing the flyer back down on the paper.
"You should probobly hide in the janitor's closet until Friday," Weddy joked, sitting down in a chair bside me. She was a cool girl - the only other girl besides Halle that isn't falling all over me. Though Halle has a thing for me (i know because she's told me like a million times) she's not like other girls at all with the way she goes about it.
I groan and hide my face in my hands. It was true - girl's choice is the hottie list's worst nightmare. Or at least, it was MY worst nightmare - there would be girls psetering me all day to ask to dance with me at the stupid Spring Fling. And he thing was, i couldn't just shoot them down - it was GIRLS choice. Therefor, the boy has no say in the matter.
"Maybe you should just admit your asexual and make them all go away," Halle suggested, though I know she's teasing. I stick my tounge out at her and re-hide my face in my hands. For one reason or another, Matt's face appears in my mind again. I couldn't place why, but I kept thinking about him.
"Or say yes to all of them and then be "sick" that day," Weddy threw in her own suggestion, then snickered, "I feel the worst for Light."
I glare at her. Light? Weddy quickly clarafies by nodding to the hallway. Sure enough, there's Light Yagami with Misa attatched to his arm. She's shooting evil glowers at anyone who approaches him, as if they're all a threat. I snicker a little. "Yeah, poor him," I say, a bit cheered up by his pain. I see Light spot me across the hall, giving me a 'help me' look. I shrug at him, giving him a 'sorry man' gesture as Misa persists to spit venom at a short brown haired girl as she walks by.
"Maybe he could come to school in drag, that way the girls wouldn't reconize him!" Halle suggesets, barking out a laugh at her own joke. Weddy starts laughing too, but I only glare at them.
"You'd like that, wouldn't you?" I accuse, blushign a little. Halle grins.
"Yep, you know I would," Halle said cherfully, patting me on the head. I scowl.
"It's funny 'cuz it's true," Weddy says a bit wistfully, adjusting her sunglasses. she wears them all the time, even inside and at school. It drives the teachers crazy, but I think they're done trying with her, consitering they have bigger problems with me (eating chocolate in class) Near (playing with transformers in class) Misa (wearing stripper clothes in class) Beyond Birthday (eating jam in class and throwing demonic murder threats at people in class) A (who was very touchy-feely with B in class) and L (eating candy in class and correcting everything anyone did wrong, including the teacher).
