Chapter One: Seven Days A Week
Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.
At Wammy's House Boarding School the days of the week just seem to run together. I don't really like school, it's just better than being at home all day. It was only the middle of September and already school was becoming unbearably boring.
At least at home I could play video games all day… I also wouldn't have lost the bracelet, damn it I still have to find that!
Those were the thoughts going through my head as I walked to my first period English/Social Studies class. (Its two classes long but with just one teacher, Light Yagami, or rather Mr. Yagami.) I took a deep breath before putting my hand on the doorknob and walking into the class, where I saw a bunch of my classmates standing around my desk.
"What's going on?"
They looked at me and then returned to their desks without a word or second glance.
"Teh." Jerks.
I walked over to my desk and noticed a small box on it. I sat down at my desk and picked up the box for inspection. It looked like it was supposed be some sort of gift, it had ribbon and a half-filled tag. It said "Matt" but not who it was from. I slowly un-did the ribbon and opened the lid. Inside was the BRACELET?! I could feel my mouth twist into a smile. I quickly took it out and got it on my wrist. It really clashed with the whole "look" I was going for with my striped white and black long sleeved shirt, orange tinted goggles on top of my head, skinny jeans, and combat boots. But on my wrist was the bracelet. It had five red beads and in between those five were slightly smaller white ones and attached to it was a heart shaped charm. As I was thinking about this I saw something black move quickly by the window. I looked up to see what it was, but it was gone.
Hmmm it must have been a garbage bag or something.
Just then Mr. Yagami walked through the door. He looked at me and the other students that were usually early. He walked over to his desk and sat down. I took out my psp and started to play Medievil.
After twenty minutes or so the bell rang and I could see people outside hurrying to their first class. I begrudgingly put my psp away and tried to tune out the overly cheerful announcements. I rested my head in my hand.
"Huff." For some reason I feel like the today is going to be really long.
At the end of the announcements Mr. Yagami stood in front of the class.
"Today students we will be starting a group project."
Some people groaned and some perked up at the idea of being able to work with their friends. But I was indifferent. I always did well on projects because I'm hyper observant and its really easy for me to remember things, so I don't have to study. I'm actually the number three student in the whole school. (No one knows it's me because I go by my middle name Matt instead of my first name Mail, because that name…it…makes me sad.) Anyway number three student and that's without studying! Imagine if I did!
"Well? Get in your groups!" Mr. Yagami demanded.
The girl sitting next to me, I think her name is Kiddie, (She was dressed like a total slut!) turned to me and said, "Would you be in my group?"
I thought it over for a second and with a monotone voice said "Sure."
Then two boys walked over and sat at the empty desk in front of us and turned around to look at us. They started a conversation with Kiddie.
So I guess they are in the group too, whatever.
The only way to describe one of them was hairy. Gross! The other one was short and looked mean.
"All right it looks like you are all in groups. The project is to come up with questions from both your Social Studies and English books. Now I don't expect you to know everything in the books since it is only the beginning of the year, this project is more to show me where you all are. You should all be able to finish by the end of class, so tomorrow you will be presenting them. We will be doing that all day. Oh! And you have to make enough questions for every student, that's how we decide who wins."
"Wins? What do we win?" one of the girls yelled.
"A prize to be determined."
I could see everyone's eyes glaze over in wonder.
After like an hour… I COULDN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE! The girl was so stupid! I was getting the world's worst headache!
"I have another idea for a question!" Kiddie said in a voice much too loud and cheerful for my taste. "Lets ask what year President Lincoln was elected! It was like 1960 right?"
I slapped my forehead.
"Matt!" Kiddie yelled. I looked at her and saw her glaring at me. "You think I'm d-u-m don't you?"
I took a deep breath "Kiddie there is a b."
Her eyes went wide and she threw her arms in the air and yelled "WHERE?! I HATE BEES!"
"Ugh! I mean there is a b in the word dumb!"
"I don't think so."
I slapped my forehead again. I got up and walked over to Mr. Yagami.
"Hey, Mr. Yagami may I go to the bathroom?"
"Sure." He handed me the pass that said "restroom" I grabbed it and walked over to the door. Once I was outside I walked as slow as I could to the bathroom and thought about how I could get myself out of this.
Hmm well I probably won't get any more homework today. Lets see Ms. Wedy doesn't assign homework (it is a computer class after all,) Mr. Mikami gave us our science packet and I already finished it. Ms. Amane isn't smart enough to think of a way to give P.E. homework (thank God!), and L almost never assigns homework and when he does its only like half a page! That is because L's the greatest math teacher in the world; Mr. Yagami is a lucky man! (I saw them making out passionately once moaning, "I love you!" to each other. Even if I hadn't seen that its pretty obvious.)
Anyway, I finally got to the bathroom and walked over to the sink. I turned it on and stuck my hands under it and splashed some of the cold water on my face.
"Ugh! That stupid girl! Fuck, she gave me the worst headache! God, my head feels like its gonna split open!" I yelled to the sink. Jeez I'm abusive to sinks.
I continued to splash water in my face even as I heard the door open and slowly close. In the mirror I could see a black figure walk behind me, but I was to pissed to care, and with an extra hard swat of the water (I could even feel it on my back) I got some on him. With one eye closed and the other one's vision blurred from the water dripping into it I turned around quickly to apologize.
"I'm sorry!"
I tried wiping the water out of my eyes. I could see him offering me a black and white cloth. I got the hint and took it from him and wiped my eyes.
"Th-thank you. Umm I am really sorry." I finally started to look up and say, "If you want I'll c-clean i-it for y-you." As I looked up to see who it was I couldn't help but stutter. I was in utter shock. It was number two student Mello Keehl.
"No, its fine." He said coldly "You can keep it. Seems more your style anyway."
I couldn't help but look him up and down quickly. I had never actually seen him in person before. He was about two inches taller then me and was wearing a black leather jacket with an all white shirt, jet black extremely skinny pants (I mean I wear them too but, mine are like baggy compared to his and I could kinda make out his package) and high top black Vans. He also had the brightest yellow hair I'd ever seen.
Now that I was looking at his face again I could see his icy blue eyes glaring down at me. Then he turned around and headed toward the door and said "Don't you know it's rude to stare?"
I looked at the cloth he gave me and noticed it was a checkered cloth he had given to me.
My style? What a fucker, I'm wearing stripes!
After a few minutes of just staring angrily at the cloth I realized I had to get back to class or I'd have to think of thirty-two questions by myself, and that would seriously interfere with my gaming!
A/N: Review thank you please?
