I'm shackled in my dreams. It's always the same recurring dream. This boy would come and play with me. I would have fun, and he would too. It always is in the afternoon, but the dream would shift. Suddenly I'm shackled, and we are fighting. The boy would leave, and I would wake up crying. This dream haunts me, and I have no idea why. The boy, I would never remember, was always hazy, and I couldn't see any of his features. When I woke up today crying, it was barely three in the morning.
"What's wrong with me?" I whispered. I put my hand out in front of me and clenched it. I soon fell to slumber, and later my mother awoke me.
"Light, today is your first day of first grade. Come here so I can dress you after you brush your teeth." I followed my mother's instructions and did as she said. After I finished breakfast, mother drove me to school. "Light do you want me to come with you?" I noticed that the other students had their parents close. I looked at her and shook my head. "Ok. Bye, Light."
"Bye mom." I got out and closed the door. The laughter seemingly rang throughout the whole school. Teachers lined up and announced the students named to report to them. Slowly the teachers and students dwindled, and only one remained. I was soon called and walked over. The children were noisy so noisy that it was annoying me. We followed the teacher to the classroom.
"Today class, we are going to do some math." The teacher said some addition problems out loud, and the other children yelled out the answers. I didn't bother to pay attention, since I had already known this. The teacher noticed my disinterest, and said, "You." She pointed at me. "What does 12+12=?"
I replied, "24." The dumbfounded looks on other students were soon wiped off by surprise. Murmurs arose and I heard some "wows" being whispered.
"So you already know this then?" the teacher asked. I nodded. She smiled. "What is your name boy?"
I sighed internally. "Light Yagami."
The class continued without myself being mentioned, and I was glad. I didn't like the attention I was drawing. Recess soon came, and everyone ran off. I walked the silent halls, and I found the middle school section. The teacher was pointing to a problem, and the student didn't seem to know the answer. I saw the problem, and I soon figured out the answer. The student looked my way, and I made an x. I think he repeated what I showed him because he got it right.
I was humored, and I stayed to watch. The same student was talking to the teacher. Suddenly, the student pointed at me, and everyone saw me. The other students burst into laughter, but the teacher called me in. "What are you doing here, Light?"
"Sir, I was wandering the school during my recess time." The bell rang. "Oh that's my bell. May I go back to class, sir?"
"Of course you may." I left, and I took a quick glance back. The teacher was making a call. Damn it!
If you don't know how the teacher knew Light's name, Light had a name tag on.
