Why do I always have the most random ideas during school? Oh well. This has been bugging me all day, it kept going "write me! Write me!" so now im giving in with the hopes of shutting myself up =]
So anyway, all our favorite DN characters are in high school! Wootwoot. Mello is the standard emo/goth/loner, Matt is the new boy with instant popularity, Light is a senior and class president, L is captain of the chess team, and Near is…. well, Near is Near.
Warnings : CLICHÉ!!! Over done ideas, ooc-ness, name spoilers, random ideas, slow updates, and bad grammar.
Ages/school year: Matt- 14 /freshman, Mello- 14/freshmen, Misa- 19/senior, light- 17/senior, L- 18/senior, Near-12/freshmen (he skipped a few grades)
Chapter one- Know your enemy
[Matt's POV]
I stared at the letters above the large double-doors and scratched my face. 'Dayview High School'. Yuck. And the school colors… blue and white? Real original. I shrugged and picked up my near-empty backpack. This is my first day in high school, in a new town, and a new life.
I'm a little skeptical about the quality of education at this school, because there are about 8 stoners smoking weed on the front steps. Lovely. Since I'm here a little early, everyone's just kind of milling around in front of the school, waiting for the start of homeroom. Future cheerleaders are prancing around on the lawn and giggling to each other, a strange looking guy with a small group of almost equally strange looking guys are sitting on a low wall arguing over a chess board, a tall brown haired guy is quietly putting up with a hyperactive blonde girl, and so on and so forth, I don't have the time or patience to list all the cliques and groups.
There are a few stand-outs in the freshmen group, a tall muscular jock type, a short, young, feminine looking boy in all white clothes and white hair [a total what the fuck moment when I first saw him], and a good-looking girl/guy with dark clothes, blonde hair, and apparently no friends. I was just about to go talk to him/her when a boy about my height with short spiky blonde hair and a green day t-shirt.
"Hey man, I'm Lucas! Your new around here, right?" he says with a huge smile.
"Hi. Yeah I'm new, how'd you know? The name's Matt." I said, returning a slightly smaller smile.
"Everyone knows everyone in Dayview. No one really likes everyone, but your going to be known one way or another."
"Well that's good I guess…" I say, then nod towards the boy/girl. "Who's that?"
"Who? Oh…him? That's Mello, don't talk to him…" Lucas screwed up his face when he looked at 'Mello', like he didn't want to see him there.
"Why not?" I asked out of curiosity.
"He's psycho, seriously, man." Lucas shuddered and looked away from him. "Don't let the girly looks fool you, that dude is bad news."
"And his name is Mello…?"
"Yeah… it's sort of been an ongoing joke ever since he was little. No one even remembers his real name." He shrugged. "He doesn't seem to mind…"
"Huh… this is going to be an interesting four years." I said, taking one last look at Mello before Lucas lead me over to his friends.
"This is Denny, John, Yuki, Vic, Lisa, Dina, and Jen." He said, pointing to each person as they where introduced. They where all well dressed, clean, and good looking. I have managed to weasel my way into the cool kid clique with no effort at all. "Guys, this is Matt."
They all smiled and waved at me, asked me a question each about where I'm from and stuff like that, then the starting bell rang and we all herded inside for the first day of high school.
I couldn't help but notice that that Mello kid stayed out on the lawn, like he hadn't even heard the bell.
