"Matt!" A boy barked from outside the room. Guess and Matt had been talking for a while about their favourite video games.
"Oh, that must be Mello. If you ever need anything, feel free to come and ask; chances are I'll be just across the corridor," he said as he got up and made his way to the door.
"Mello? Is that name meant ironically or...?"
Matt laughed, "Pretty much, but I don't recommend that you say that to his face, or I guarantee you; you'll be in for one!"
Guess smiled and ran her thumb and index finger pinched together across her lips, zipping her mouth shut. Matt smiled back with the right corner of his lips and opened the door.
"Matt, where have you been? Who's room is that?" the boy, Guess assumed was Mello, barked at Matt as he closed the door behind him.
"Showing the new girl around; calm your tits, princess." Guess smiled as she listened to the conversation going on on the other side of the door.
"God, if you weren't the only decently intelligent person in the godforsaken place apart from that sheep then you would so be dead by now!"
"Hey, Mello! That's my ear! Get off!" Their voices became distant as a door slammed. Guess flopped back onto her bed. 'This might not be so bad' she thought to herself.A few days passed by and Matt and Guess spoke regularly, whether it was meeting in the lunch hall or Matt knocking on the door. She'd yet have to properly speak or meet Mello, but it wasn't a priority.
"Hey, Guess!" A voice called from the other side of the door that had followed a light tapping.
"Yeah?" She replied from her desk in the corner of her room.
"Wanna come play Mortal Kombat on the PS2?"
Guess got up from her seat and headed over to open the door. "Sure!"
"I'll warn you now though, Mello is in there studying," he whispered, "He's still pissed because of Near beating him again."
"And he doesn't mind you playing video games in the meantime?"
"Well, I don't really give him much of a choice," Matt smirked, "and he's used to it now."
"Hokay!" Guess stepped out of the room and they made their way across the corridor to Matt and Mello's shared room.
"Hey Mells, Guess and I are gonna play some Mortal Kombat, okay?" Matt said as he opened the door.
Mello's desk chair span around to face the doorway and stared blankly at Matt. "Don't call me that..." he paused and gave a small nod of recognition to Guess before looking at Matt again. "And fine."
In the room, there were two beds, a desk that Mello was by, chest of draws, and two bean bags positioned in front of the TV. Matt plonked himself onto the red one and Guess on the blue.
"I'm Scorpion!" she cried.
