Prologue

I silently waited outside the door alongside Matt. Waiting for Mello who was talking with Roger.

I'm not sure what it was about, but it must have been important because Near was called into Roger's office as well.

I placed my hands in my pocket, all that could be heard in the narrow hallway was the clicking and sound effects of Matt's PSP.

*Childhood summary*

From the moment I was born, I was sent to an orphanage, from what the caretakers told me, my mother was too young and didn't feel ready to take care of a child on her own because her boyfriend left her.

The orphanage I was taken to was the Old England Orphanage, it was a shabby place, but it was better than living out on the streets.

I was bullied at a young age for being different from the rest, so I turned to books, Reading taught me a lot of things, from history to mathematics, I was definitely very intelligent for someone my age. So I was transferred to another orphanage.

Whammy's House.

For once, it felt like I belonged, everyone was super nice and everyone was smart, like me. But there was one who stood out the most to me.

His name was Mello, he wanted nothing to do with me though, I've tried talking to him before but I was sure he hated me. However, his friend Matt was more kind, he took the time to talk to me and often let me have a go at his video games.

I wanted to be Mello's friend, but he always shut me out.

2 years after meeting Mello, one day he  beat up a kid. I saw what happened, the kid was teasing Mello and so he threw a punch at the kid, the kid started crying and told Roger Mello attacked him for no reason. So Roger threatened to have his enrolment cancelled, Mello ran off crying. I went in and told Roger what really happened, and because I was an honest girl, he believed me.

I found Mello and told him he was only in detention for a week, he thanked me but that's it.

Two days later, the kid who teased Mello, got me alone and started slapping me and pulling my hair. I cried for minutes until Mello showed up and chased the kid off.

And ever since then, we became friends.

When I turned 13, I started to feel strange around Mello, I thought it was just my hormones, but I was pretty convinced I was falling in love with my blonde friend.

*back to reality*

The door opened to reveal a pissed off Mello, I didn't dare say a word, worried I would only anger him further.

"Were leaving, now" was all he said.

"The orphanage? But where are we going to go?" I asked.

"L.A" he said. I stared into his sky blue eyes for a few seconds. He was serious.

"Alright" Matt said as he followed the blonde down the hallway, I began to follow.

***

As Mello opened the door, I felt the winter breeze blow through my hair, sending chills up my spine, giving me goosebumps.

"Hurry up" Mello's tone was harsh.

I followed them down the path, it was a quiet day, not one car on the road, the only sound that could be heard was the crunch of the snow from under our boots.

Just as we got to the gate, I looked up at the large building.

'Once I exit this gate, there's no coming back' I thought.

"(y/n)! Your slowing us down!" Mello hissed. I turned to the blonde, but didn't move.

"I'm going to miss this place, aren't you two?" I asked the boys.

"Like hell, I'll be glad to be gone" the blonde said as he kept walking.

"I know I will eventually, I know Mello will too, he just won't admit it" Matt smiled at me.

"Yeah... I know" I smiled back and began to follow the boys.
