Today. Today was meant to be like any other day. I was meant to go to school and come home with not anything happening to me. But today was the day that finding the death note changed my life forever.

"Damn it I'm going to be late" I yelled as I jumped out of my bed. This was an everyday thing for me. I got ready and ran down stairs, put my toast in my mouth and ran out the door.
"BYE HAYLEY" I heard my mother say just as I closed the door.

As I ran, I ran past houses, trees and nearly knocked over a couple of people. I was steps out the front of my school and then it hit me. A book, I fell to the floor and looked up. Nobody was there so how could it have fallen. I picked up the book and slowly walked into the school grounds reading the front cover. Death Note.

As I got to my locker Jason was laying on the locker next to mine. Jason is my best friend. The only best friend I had at this cruddy school. I moved here less than a year ago and Jason is the only friend I have made here.
"Your reading, what are you reading Hayley?" Jason asked while grabbing the book out of my hands.
"It's nothing, I just found it" I said trying to reach for it. Damn it why did I have to be so fucking small.
"Death note, what is it some kind of diary?" Jason asked again. This time he opened the book and started to read the first page.
"Like I said before, I don't know I just found it before I got to school" I said this time with my hands on my hips. Jason grabbed my hand and pulled me to where no one could hear us talking.
"Have you read this, the first rule is the humans whose name is written in this note shall die" said Jason while flicking threw the book.
"Yea I have read it, I thought it was a pretty sick joke" I said, sick meaning as a cool joke.
"And if it isn't a joke, what will you do then?" Jason was now looking at me. He looked scared but what was there to be scared about it was just some prank.
"What has gotten into you Jason, this thing is just a prank? Why would you believe something as stupid as this?" I asked grabbing the book off of him and putting it in my bag, the bag I had around my shoulder.
"Did you hear what happen it Japan, people where dying from heart attacks and this person called Kira was behind it. One of the rules where: if the cause of death is not specified the person will simply die of a heart attack" said Jason. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. He believed this stupid book.

I didn't want to hear him say that crap anymore. It wasn't real and it was a silly prank some kids came up with too scary others. I walked to my locker, got my books and walked to my class. I knew Jason would slowly come too but I didn't wait for him.

I sat in class, not really listening to the teacher. Crimes and war was the subjects, I didn't really mind this class. Mainly because I was fascinated in how people killed others, all the cool ways to do it. As I was in a train of thought, Jason tapped my shoulder and passed me a note. You should write a criminal that is still alive in the death note and watch the news tonight to see if it is on the news. I read it and shook my head; he still believes that it is real.

I got out the death note and opened it, I wrote the name Jordan Smith (not sure if real criminal but don't think so).Jordan Smith was the person we were talking about in class. I showed Jason just to make him happy and then put the book back into my bag.

When I got home, I went and put on the T.V. It turned on to the news I was about to change the channel but I heard something that got my attention. Jordan Smith has died in his prison cell. I was wide eyed and kept on listening. Today at 12:37pm Jordan Smith died of a heart attack.
