A/N: This takes place in the ever dramatic, 'I am L,' scene. Just a little parody of it.

Light's POV
"Do you want to know a secret?"
I don't know him, don't know anything about him, other than the fact he's smart enough to get a perfect score on the entrance exams, but something in me does want to know.
Curiosity killed the cat, I guess.
"I can keep a secret," I tell him nonchalantly. We both sit down, me like a normal person and him as if he's ready to jump up in the air for a butterfly.
Out of nowhere, he turns towards me dramatically and whispers, "I want to tell you that you just lost The Game."
My eyes widen and I almost fall out of my chair. No! I- I just lost The Game! I was trying so hard not to think about it and-
No. I have to calm down, act as if I don't know what he's talking about.
"The Game?" I ask. There's no way of him knowing that I've tried so hard to forget about it.
Instead, his lips turn up in a smirk. "I am sorry. I thought you knew. After all, you aced the exam, correct?"
My smug smile falls off my face as a look of horror takes its place.
Now I know he knows because-
"Shit."
-that was one of the essay questions.
