"Speaking of girlfriend tell me do you finally have one ? " Abigail asked curiously she remembered Mathew was a shy type he didn't talk to girls because he was to afraid he would say something stupid so the only friend he could keep was light and true light they became friends as well.
When they were little she remember they would always tease him over being to shy to speak to girls.

He sighed deeply his smile disappearing off his face.

" That great news we are so happy for you" Light and Abigail spoke happily giving themselves an high five.
Light observed the dull look on his face he wasn't smiling with them.
" What wrong Mathew is there something wrong going on between you two " She asked staring at his face.
