This is a rather childish story, but I don't feel like fixing any of it.
At the Wammery House
(This is where I put myself in! Along with my boyfriend Ryuza)
Mellow read it again and again, but something about the way that the book was worded confused him. Anger was already juiced in his system because people had forgotten his birthday and had all gone on a class trip without him. Only a few students stayed behind to study, Near included.
“Matt can you help?” Mellow asked across on the other side of their room.
“Mellow, I already told you. I don’t know anything about it, and I don’t want to know. If you really want to know ask Near,” Matt replied not looking up from his videogame.
“No way! I will never ask Near! Not in a million years would I ask him!” Mellow replied.
“Well I guess you won’t get help then,” Matt replied.
“But it is crucial for me to understand this! I have to beat Near someday! Matt are you listening?” Mellow snapped.
“No,” Matt replied still enticed by his game.
Mellow felt anger boiling in him. He felt the need to destroy something. He grabbed one of Matt’s games that sat on his desk and meant to throw it until Matt told him that if he did, there would be blood to pay.
There is no way I am going to ask Near!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mellow thought. He stormed out of the room hot and angry. The halls were strangely empty, and Mellow dashed down them to the main room. Near was sitting and building a new train set in the corner. A girl with dark green hair sat cross-legged on a couch off to the side with a book in her lap. Her hair cut at diagonal layers from front to back and tied back as a short braid. Her clothes were her own style of a long-sleeved blouse and a black skirt that went down to just before her knees. Then a few inches past her knees were long black and white stripped toe socks that were housed in black sandals. Circular glasses shimmered as her head moved to look up at the commotion. Mellow recognized her as Soji. She was one of the minor residences in the House, but she was one of few that were not afraid of Mellow.
“Mellow,” Near said flatly, “What is wrong now?”
“Nothing!” Mellow nearly shouted.
“You seem angry about something,” Near replied coldly.
“Nothing! Dam it! Didn’t you hear me?”
“Then why are you so tense?” Near asked.
“None of your business!” Mellow nearly shouted again.
“Then stop making so much noise. I’m trying to read!” Soji jumped in.
“I wasn’t talking to you!” Mellow growled.
“Well from the loudness in your voice, I would say that you were posing the answers to the entire House. If you are not, then I suggest that you shut up,” Soji answered looking back at her book.
“Don’t talk to me like that!” Mellow barked, “I don’t care if you are a woman! I’d beat you down here and now!”
“Mellow you are childish, and I don’t care if you try to beat me up. I will just have Ryuza beat the day lights out of you,” Soji answered returning to her book.
“Ryuza? Oh your boyfriend. He’s not that tough! I can take him!” Mellow trusted.
“Not that tough hu Mellow?” Ryuza asked standing behind Mellow. Ryuza was taller than Mellow and all around a bit bigger in muscle. His short black bangs crisscrossed in every direction but the majority of his hair was straight and fell down to the back of his neck, and his sharp features gave him a military look. Mellow turned back to Soji who had resumed reading her book.
“Mellow, don’t try beating Ryuza up. We already know that he aced all his physical exams with the highest grades in the class. Plus we also know that he is very protective of Soji. And the fact that he is also intelligent, you can’t fool him out of beating you up. If you continue, there will be a 93.23 chance that you will suffer extreme injuries, and a 33.94 percent chance that you would die,” Near called.
“Now that is no fun giving the answers!” Soji called, “You could have at least left him to figure it out himself!”
Ryuza grabbed Mellow by the shoulder. Soji walked over and gabbed a piece of chocolate from Mellow’s pocket. She broke off a piece, handed the other piece to Ryuza, and ate her piece. Mellow’s pupils contracted leaving large white areas in his eyes.
“My chocolate!” Mellow sobbed.
Ryuza’s hand gripped Mellow’s shoulder tighter.
“Um….well you see….um….Soji….I’m sorry?” Mellow tried.
“Ryuza, you are so protective. Thank you. I think this baka has learned his lesson.”
“Aw Soji, that was no fun!” Ryuza smiled. Soji stood and gave him a hug.
There is a 56.24 percent chance that those two will be married sometime in the future. Near thought.
“Ah man! How could this day get any worse?” Mellow asked, “I can’t figure something out! I nearly get beat up by Soji’s boyfriend, and on top of all that! I ate the last bit of chocolate I had!”
“What couldn’t you figure out?” Near asked calmly.
“How to play this stupid chess game! Someone left the game and rules outside my bedroom and wrote that it was a good game to learn how to play if I ever wanted to beat you, Near. I figure that it was Roger, and that was his present since it is my birthday!” Mellow answered in near angry sobs.
“Mellow, you need to play other people for you to understand it,” Near said flatly, “sometimes an action of the game are better understood than words.”
“Like that proverb actions speak louder than words!” Mellow said excitedly.
“We lost him again,” Ryuza sighed.
“Good grief Mellow, when I thought you couldn’t get any denser,” Soji sighed.
Mellow scowled and scowled again. He felt the counters of his face twisted this way and that.
“Hey Mellow! I found a chocolate bar in my closet!” Matt called appearing from around the corner of the hallway, “It nearly melted all over my game boy!”
Mellow looked happily towards Matt who threw the chocolate at him. It was a wonka bar chocolate. Mellow felt the bar hit him in the face, and he sunk to the floor.
“What is wrong?” Soji asked.
“That is simple Soji,” Near answered, “It is dark chocolate.”
“I hate today! I HATE IT!” Mellow cried.
Just then, a large group of students appeared from behind the furniture. Mellow felt his pupils constrict.
“Happy Birthday Mellow!” they all exploded.
Mellow looked around stunned. Roger was putting a chocolate icing chocolate filled cake on the table, and student after student put a present on the table. Soji looked down at her book but threw a present from under the pillow she had been leaning on. It was no bigger than a tissue box, and Mellow opened the red wrapping paper slowly. There was a card attached and it fell to the floor as Mellow opened it. Realizing the card, Mellow bent down and picked it up. Mellow was written in bad handwriting on it. Mellow opened the card and read silently to himself.
Mellow,
Sorry I tortured you with that chess game, but Near said that was the only way that we could make sure that you didn’t leave your room. This is my way of saying happy birthday.
Soji
Mellow opened the box and looked inside. A wonka chocolate factory gift card for fifty thousand yen sat inside.
“Soji,” Mellow sighed.
“And we all knew that with your fast and scatter brained ideas, you would never begin to understand the game, so you would be in there forever!” Soji laughed.
“Soji! Why you!” Mellow started. Then he looked to Ryuza and sighed, “thanks Soji.”
