Chapter 1 The New Girl

As I nervously walked closer to my classroom door, my knees began to shake. 'What will they think of me? Will they like me or will they ignore me? Will I make any friends?' I snapped my self out of my worried thoughts and pulled myself together. 'You'll be fine you worry wuss, just act yourself and you'll make plenty of friends'

I placed my hand on the door handle and looked at the lettering on the window. Room 53.I sighed 'Better get it over and done with I suppose' I opened the door and was welcomed by complete silence and the classes eyes focused on me. "Hi, is this third period English?"I asked the teacher. He smiled at me and said. "Yes, you must be Naoki Takami am I right?" I nodded. "Well then, please take a seat." He told me, indicating with his hand to the rows of single desks.

I only saw one empty so I took that one. I placed myself into the seat and took out my needed books and a pen. The teacher continued to talk whilst I sat bored. I hated school I really did, it was so boring. I sat there bored for another few minutes before I noticed the guy in front of me looking at me from the corner of his eye. 'What the hell?' I thought. He noticed me frowning at him and quickly directed his attention back towards the teacher. 'What's his problem?'. It wasn't long before the lesson was over and the teacher dismissed us all for lunch. 'Finally' I thought as I got up from my seat. I began packing my bag when I was suddenly tapped on my shoulder. I turned around only to be greeted by a group of girls. "Um, hi?" "Hi. Naoki...right?" "Yeah...?" "Cool, wanna come sit with us for lunch?" I smiled. "Sure, why not" I answered. I grabbed my bag and slung it over my shoulder, following the girls.

We entered the cafeteria and grabbed some food, then we sat down at a long table. We were joined by a group of boys, among which was the guy that had been staring at me. I was gonna ask him why but one of the girls squealed. "Hey Light, nice to see you." Light smiled. The obviously infatuated teen looked as if she wanted to kiss him but then looked at me, eyes wide with thought.

"Hey Naoki..." she grabbed my arms and turned me around to face Light, causing me to drop my sandwich. "How would you like to date one of the most popular and hottest guy in school?" I raised my eyebrows in shock then wriggled away from the girl. "Uh no thanks." The girl looked at me in shock as well as most of the other people sitting on the table. "What do you mean, 'No thanks'?" She was obviously confused beyond belief. "It means that I don't want to go out with him. I also don't really care if he's the most popular or the hottest guy in school." I stood up with my tray of food and my bag and walked towards the door. "I'm gonna go sit outside okay girls. See you later." I took myself outside and sat down on a picnic table, pulling out my English homework and began to read it.

I finished my lunch and continued to read for another five minutes before I felt a presence near me. "Hey, mind if I sit down?" "Sure no prob-" I looked up and the person I saw made me frown. "What do you want Light?" "I wanted to know if I could sit down." He laughed. "Don't give me that, I saw you looking at me in class this morning." "Well I can't help it if you're so beautiful." I growled and he laughed and sat down. "I never said you could sit down." "It's not you're bench." "Got me there" I admitted. He smiled at me as I laughed then continued to read my book. "Hey, Naoki, I was wondering, how would you like to come round mine tonight, ya know, to study." I looked up at him with an eyebrow raised. "You're kidding right?" He didn't answer and I sighed. "Not today Light." He frowned. "Why not?" I continued to read my book, not even bothering to look at him. "Why d'ya think?" He still continued to frown. "Well, will you at least give it a second thought?." This time I looked at him. "Maybe, I can't make any promises though." The school bell rang and I got up from my seat. Shoving my book in my bag I looked back to Light. "Bye Light. Our talk was...interesting but I have to get to my Math's class." As I turned to go, I heard him laugh from behind. I turned back to him. "Something funny?"

He stood up from his seat and walked over to me. "We have the same classes together Naoki." My eyes widened. "What! How do you know that?" He held out his hand. Inside it was his day planner. Gasping, I took mine out and compared it to his. He was right. Nearly all of our classes were the same. 'Shit does this mean he's gonna hang around me for the rest of the day' I sighed and put the piece of paper back in my back. "So, can I walk you to class?" I turned from him. "I guess so."

The walk to the classroom was silent. It wasn't until we got seated and the lesson began did it start to get interesting. Some of the girls were giggling behind me. I heard them mention Light and me going out together. 'Uhhh, the thought of me and Light together...uhhh unthinkable' Again the lesson droned on and on until the bell rang. It was time to go home...finally. But the ordeal of my first day wasn't over yet. The teacher called us all to attention. "I want all of you study hard tonight, work in partners." I groaned. It was only a matter of seconds before "Hey Naoki, ready to take up my offer to come round mine?" "I guess I'll have to. I'll just call my mom." I walked off into the hallway and dialled my moms number.

"Hello?" "Hi mom its me." "Hey honey what's up?" "Well, I've been given a big homework assignment and I'm gonna go round a friends to do it, is that okay with you?" I prayed that she would say no. "I don't know Naoki, who is this friend?" "His name's Light and he's my partner." "Well alright but I want to know where he lives." "Okay just a sec" I walked over to Light, who was talking to his friends, and handed my phone to him. He looked at me confused for a sec then with a nod of my head he put the phone to his ear and began to talk to my mother. It wasn't long before he handed me back my mobile with a smile. "Come on then." I nodded, taking notice of the girls once again giggling from behind him.

I grudgingly followed him back to his house where I was to be for the next three hours. 'Why me? Why did he have to have a thing about me for shit sake!' We walked inside and where greeted to silence. "Guess nobody's home" Light stated as we took off our shoes. "Let's go to my room k?" "Alright...I guess." We walked upstairs and stopped outside of what I believed to be Light's room. But as he opened the door he stopped. I looked at him with a raised eyebrow. "What's wrong Light?" He kept his eye's focused on a piece of paper on the floor. I sighed. Throwing my bag on his bed I walked over and picked it up. "It's just a piece of paper." He looked at me stunned for some reason, then laughed. "Of course, sorry I kinda blanked out for a second."

I nodded slowly and placed the paper on his desk then sat in the chair there, Light followed, closing the door behind him. "So, what should we do first? English, Math's or Science?" I reached over and took out my work. "I guess we could start with the Math first. I hate that stuff." Light laughed...again. "Okay." We studied in quiet for a bit before I got stuck on a question. "God damn it." Light took notice of this and moved over to me in a flash. Placing a hand on my shoulder, he bent over me, taking my pencil from my fingers. He then took a blank piece of paper from my book. "The way to solve this solution is easy Naoki, you just have look at it like this." Sure enough he showed me the way to do it. I chuckled. "Thanks." He smiled at me and moved out of the awkward position that he had been in. "No problem."

Sure enough things at his got a little better each passing minute. I could feel a friendship blossoming between us. But unfortunately for Light, that was all. We had just finished our homework when we heard the front door opening. "Light, I'm back!" called a female voice. 'That must be Lights mom' Light went downstairs and I suppose greeted her. I heard the door open again but instead f Light it was a young girl. "Oh my god! You must be Light's girlfriend!" my eyes widened and my cheeks turned red. I put my hands in front of me and shouted. "NO NOTHING LIKE THAT! I'M JUST STUDYING WITH HIM!" The girl grinned a cheeky grin and leaned against the door. "Yeah, of course you are." "Sayu leave Naoki alone. She's not my girlfriend, were just study partners." "Whatever." She looked back at me. "Are you staying for dinner Naoki?" "Er-I don't know?" Sayu turned to Light with a somewhat disappointed look on her face. "Light, she'll never go out with you unless you invite her to dinner!" Light sighed. "What does dinner have to do with relationships?" Sayu's grin intensified tenfold. "Oh, so you do like her. Well you two look like you were made for each other." But Sayu's happiness was disturbed when Light pointed out one upsetting fact. "Don't you have homework to do?" Sayu dropped her head and skulked off to her room leaving Light and I in an uncomfortable air. "Sorry about her, she's...kind crazy." "Yeeeeah, I guessed as much." "So..." Light started. "Did you want to stay for dinner?" I rubbed the back of my head. "I don't think that would be a good idea at the moment Light. I mean I just met you and I wouldn't want your mom to make me something having only known me for a couple of seconds ya know?" But Light argued with me. "My mom would be okay with it, she wouldn't mind." I still shook my head though. " Not tonight Light, sorry." I picked up my mobile from my bag and looked at the clock on it. 19:34. 'Shit!' "Sorry Light I'm gonna have to go soon." I called my mom again and told her where Light's house was(thanks to Light for telling me). "Okay, I'll be there in about ten minutes Na." We hung up and I told Light how soon she would be there.

After about eight minutes of talking, I got my bag packed and my shoes on. There was a knock at the door and I opened it to find my mom standing there. "Hi mom." I turned to Light and his mom and smiled. "Thanks for having me over Light, Mr's Yagami." "Come on Naoki I've got the car running. "Okay mom. I guess I'll see you tomorrow Light, bye." "Bye Naoki, have a nice night. I look foreword to seeing you tomorrow. Come round mine again?" "I don't know. Mom are we doing anything tomorrow?" "No." She was beginning to become impatient. "Well, I suppose I could come round tomorrow." "Well, until tomorrow then." Until tomorrow." I smiled as I walked out of the door, closing it behind me. "He seems nice Naoki, he'll make a good boyfriend." "MOM!" She cackled. "He's a nice guy but I'm looking for someone quiet and kind. Not a popular, 'the hottest guy in school' type of guy." "Whatever you say my sweet daughter." As we got in the car and drove off I began to wounder. 'Will I ever find Mr right?'

Lights POV

As I watched her leave I felt an unending sense of glee. Naoki, new girl and all around perfect woman. I walked back up to my room and sat at my desk, pulling out a book from the shelf and started to read. I knew that he was watching. 'L...I will kill you eventually!' I heard cackling from behind me. "A new lady friend already Light? You sure are popular." 'Damn shinigami. He knows I can't talk at the moment and is using it to mock me!' But he did raise a point. Naoki was the newest girl in his life, but she was different from all of the others. He just wanted them for sex. None of the other girls had been smart enough for his love. But not Naoki. No, she was far greater than them.

'Naoki. You will be the goddess of the new world. You and I shall always be lovers.' This is where my plan hit a snag though. I adored Naoki, but as far as I knew, she didn't love me. 'Damn!' I would have to get her to love me. And although it won't be easy, eventually, she'll be mine.
