Ok, there's not much Death Note in this chapter but I need to start this story off somewhere.
Disclaimer: I don't own Death Note, Bleach, Zac Effron, Lady Gaga, My Chemical Romance, any of their songs, Panic at the Dicso, Taking Back Sunday, Shonen Jump, Shojo Beat, Alternate Press, iPods, or the quote mentioned.
I'm Sami Kice. I'm a fourteen year old freshman at Corbin High. I have really short red hair and blue-green eyes. My friends and I are total manga freaks. Hey, it's not like we can help that. I have only one wish. I wish for it on stars and on most of my birthdays. It's to fall into a different world, an anime, just something to escape this world.
"Sami? Sami, wake up."
I lifted my head up from the table in the school library and saw Carmen poking me with her pen. Her long, curly brown hair was pulled into a low side ponytail and her brown eyes stared into mine.
"Yeah?" I asked, yawning.
"Lunch's almost over."
"Already? That was fast." I grabbed my messenger bag and stood up.
Carmen sighed, also standing up. "Of course it was fast for you. All you did was eat and sleep."
"Too bad I woke up," I mumbled. "I was having an awesome dream."
We started walking to our next class. "Hmm, Sami having an awesome dream. That could only be one of two things. You were either dreaming that something cool happened to our world or you were dreaming about Drew."
I covered her mouth with my hand. "Please be quiet," I begged. It was true, I was dreaming about him. Drew's been my crush since school started and now it's April. But, really, how could anyone not fall for him? His dark brown hair, chocolate colored eyes, and tan skin were only a few reasons I liked him. He was also really smart, an amazing artist, and he was funny.
"Don't worry," she said, moving my hand. "I won't tell. But you might wanna start worrying about your next two classes."
Huh? Next two classes? Let's see, I have English and algebra. What were so special about them? I gave her a confused look, hoping for an explanation.
Carmen noticed my look. "You have no clue why you should be worried, do you?"
"Nope," I said, shaking my head and smiling.
She sighed. "Sami, think. Who has those two classes with you?"
"Um, Nicole?"
"No. Well, yes, but no. It's-" Just then the warning bell rang. Wait, it rang already?
"Sorry, Carmen, but I'm gonna be late!" I shouted already half way down the hallway and heading for the stairs. I really need to rethink the whole sleeping during lunch thing. I reached the top of the stairs and saw the door to my English class on the left. I started walking there but before I reached it, the bell rang. So close.
"You're late, Miss Kice," said my teacher, Mr. Lokke, as I walked through the door.
I think I realized that! I wanted to say, but I knew that I'd just be compared to my perfect twin sister, Alice. What? You didn't know I had a sister? Well, that's because I hate her. She dyed her long, red hair blonde, so you can hardly tell we're sisters. And while I'm more of an outcast, she's Little Miss Popular.
I sat down next to my other best friend, Jake. He looked up from the book he was reading and smiled quickly at me. His black hair was starting to cover his eyes again. He was actually a recluse all of middle school and even now, he hardly says anything to anyone. I'm still trying to figure out why he talks to me.
I took a piece of paper out of my notebook and wrote him a message. You're hair's getting longer. I would suggest a haircut.
He gave the paper back to me. No, then I'd see people making fun of me.
I won't let anyone make fun of you.
Sorry, but no.
Alright, fine. I tried.
"Sorry, I'm late," said a voice. I looked up and saw Drew walk in and sit down in front of me. Yeah, you probably saw that coming. Now I remember what Carmen was talking about.
"You and Sami, talk to me after class," said Mr. Lokke. "Now, today we'll be discussing…"
I stopped paying attention after that. Instead, I kept passing notes with Jake and staring at Drew. After an hour, well it felt longer, the bell rang and everyone started to leave. I smiled at Jake as he left.
Drew and I walked up to our teacher's desk. "Drew, this was the fourth time you've been late to my class this month. Sami, your sixth time." Wow, it's been six times already? "I've been going easy on your punishments up 'til now. Both of you, detention for the rest of the week."
"What?" I asked, my defensive side coming out. "That's not fair."
"You should be lucky. You should've been suspended by now."
"It's not my fault I've been late. I don't have enough time to get to class."
"You really are nothing like Alice." Of course. Everyone compares me to my sister. Nothing like Alice? Yeah, I just choose not to become a prep.
Drew put a hand on my shoulder. "Sami, just give up. We'll be here after school, Mr. Lokke." We walked out of the classroom and he said, "Why do you always pick fights you can't win?"
"I don't like accepting punishments I don't deserve," I replied, still angry. "Besides, at least I tried to get out of it." Oops. I just realized what I said and who I said it to. "Uh, what I mean is-"
"Don't worry. I understand. Come on, let's get to class." Wow, he's so understanding. I think I'm falling in love all over again.
The rest of the day was boring. Detention was interesting. Carmen got detention, too. I mean, really? What were the odds? All we did was clean the classroom and talk.
XxXxXxXxX
"Hello?" I said, walking in my house. "Anyone home?" No one answered back. I sighed and walked to my shared room with Alice. It was so easy to tell which side was hers and which was mine. Her half was painted purple and had posters of Zac Effron and Lady Gaga and other people I could really care less about. Her bedspread was a light green, since she said it complimented the purple walls. There were a bunch of fashion magazines in a neat pile on the floor.
My side, well, my walls were a dark red with My Chemical Romance, Panic at the Disco, and Taking Back Sunday posters. There were also random quotes and song lyrics written on the walls in Sharpie. My bedspread was black with blue stripes. There were issues of Shonen Jump, Shojo Beat, and Alternate Press all over the floor. Most of my closet was on my bed.
I pulled my laptop out from under my bed and went to look up more quotes. After reading a few of them, I found one I liked, even though it was sort of depressing. I found a Sharpie on the floor and wrote:
You asked me what was wrong and I smiled and said…Nothing. Then I turned around and whispered…Everything.
I tossed the Sharpie on my bed. I went on YouTube and typed in 'To the End by MCR'. I always preferred music online to iPods anyway. Besides, I have no idea how to add songs. I raised the volume all the way up and started singing along to it.
"He calls the mansion not a house but a tomb
He's always choking from the stench and the fume
The wedding party all collapsed in the room
So send my resignation to the bride and the groom"
"Hello?" my sister called, as she walked in. "Sami, turn off that stupid music!"
I sighed and paused the video. She always referred to anything I liked as crap. Since she could convince our parents that everything I do is wrong, she always had her way.
Alice walked into our room. "Thank you." She looked at me, a sly look on her flawless face. "So, I heard you got detention. What'd you get busted for? Drugs? Drinking?"
I glared at her. Just who did she think I was? A psycho? "What are you talking about?"
"Oh, don't act all clueless," she snapped. "I know everything that goes on at our school."
"Well, if you knew everything, why did you even bother asking?" I grabbed my laptop and hurried out before she could respond. Just as I got outside, I saw my parents' car pull up the street. "Damn," I muttered, under my breath. I walked back inside and sat down on the couch, knowing that any chance I had to escape was gone.
"We're home," said my mom, as she and my dad walked in. She looked over to where I was. "Samantha, is Alice here?"
I hated when my parents called me Samantha. I preferred Sami, but mom says it's not a classy name. "Our room." I glared as she left to go see her favorite child.
"Samantha, give your laptop a rest," said my dad, closing my laptop. "You're always on it."
I sighed. Unfortunately, he's right. I pulled my messenger bag from behind the couch over my shoulder and put my laptop in it. I stood up and said, "Jake invited me over for dinner. I'm going over now."
I started walking towards the door, but my mom came down stairs and stopped me. "You're not going anywhere after what Alice just told me."
"And she said?"
"I was told that you got detention for smoking on school grounds. You're grounded until further notice."
I couldn't believe what I just heard. "I wasn't smoking," I all but shouted. "I'm allergic. Remember? That's why Dad had to stop smoking."
"Don't talk back to me, young lady. Go to your room."
"Fine, but Alice stays out!" I headed for the stairs.
"Wait, the laptop?" My mom questioned, looking at my bag. I tossed my bag on the couch, making sure it wasn't hard enough to wreck it. I pushed Alice out of our room. She stood there at a loss of words.
"You probably know this, but I really hate you, you bi-" Alice slammed the door before I could finish talking. I opened the door and shouted, "I was supposed to do that!" I slammed the door again and went to sulk on my bed. But first, I texted Jake to say I couldn't come over.
XxXxXxXxX
Sometime around midnight…
There are times when I really don't like my house. Like now, for instants. The floor squeaked so much as I walked down the stairs to get my laptop. It's a good thing I know my house like the back of my hand or I would've tripped ten times by now. I reached into my bag and turned on my laptop. The light illuminated part of the living room and gave everything a creepy glow. I put it on the couch and sat down on the floor in front of it.
*1 New Message*
I clicked on the message, curious what it was. I kinda hoped it was from Jake. He always makes me feel better when I'm in a bad mood. The message popped up.

I saved the message to drafts and turned my laptop off. I started walking up the stairs but I felt dizzy. The last thing I remembered was my head about to make contact with the top step.
XxXxXxXxX
I opened my eyes and saw a dark grey sky above me. I stood up and saw a barren wasteland. "Where…where am I?"
"The Shinigami Realm."
I looked behind me and saw a cave. Ok, how long was that there for? I started walking in it, like some force was pulling me in. As I got farther to the center, I saw a large globe like creature suspended with chains. When I saw the skull face, I knew who this was. I was standing in front of the Shinigami King.
"Wasn't this what you wanted?" he said. "To fall into a different world? I told you I could help."
"Y-you were the one who sent me that message?" I asked, scared of what was happening.
"Yes, I was."
I couldn't believe what happened. Did I really fall into Death Note? Or maybe I just hit my head too hard when I fell. Well, whatever it was, I was thrilled! Wait, if I am in a different world, then that means My Chemical Romance doesn't exist here. NO!
Again, sorry this chapter doesn't have much Death Note. I'll try harder in the next one.
Reveiw if anyone whats the next chapter. :3
