"Miss Ayers is an excellent student, but she needs to apply herself more in class. She also needs to stop skipping school, and pulling ridiculous pranks. She is a brilliant girl, but I just don't think that our academy is the place for your daughter." Melanie Ayers has heard this phrase multiple times over. It wasn't her fault that school was boring. She already learned everything she needed to know. She rolled her eyes. Her father who had been sitting next to her sighed. "I understand," He said rubbing the back of his head. The two stood up and left the principals office.
"Honesty Melanie, I have no idea what to do with you," Her dad said getting into the driver's seat of the car. Melanie climbed into the passenger side. "Well, you could just let me drop out of school, and start working," she said. Her dad shook his head. "I know you're seventeen, but you look like you're at most fifteen. I would let you work, but you would raise suspicion, so I can't,"
Melanie glared out the window, and let out a harrumph. She watched the dry Australian landscape pass by. She longed to escape the heat, and dryness of Australia. When the family of two got home, Melanie's father called multiple schools that might accept his daughter. Melanie went to her room. She opened her laptop and checked her mail. In-box empty, just like always. She sighed. What happened to all of my friends? Why are they not contacting me? She wondered.
Flopping onto her bed, she turned on her small T.V. Flipping through the channels she decided to settle on the news. She wished for something interesting to happen. She stayed up until well after midnight. She had just been booted out of school, so she didn't have to wake up early the next morning. At around 2 A.M. her wish was answered.
"Are you there?" spoke a distorted voice coming from her computer. She pressed the shift button. "Yeah, I'm here, what do you need?" She asked. "I need your help," said the distorted voice. Melanie grinned, her wish had been granted.
L sat there in his usual position. "So can you do it?" He said. The distorted voice on the other end chuckled. "Of course, I'll be there in three days," L took a bite of strawberry shortcake. "Excellent," He said before ending the transmission. "So she agreed?" asked Watari. The corners of L's mouth curled up slightly. "Yes."
Melanie ran frantically through her room packing a suitcase. Finally! I've been summoned by the famous L. He wants to work with me. I knew this day would come.
