This is it the second chapter; it is from Mello's point of view and it is when he first meets her. This chapter is supposed to happen way before the first one so keep that in mind when you read it. Capeesh? I hope that you enjoy this. Don't forget to review.
Serendipity
It was raining lightly; and it was quickly darkening. I had snuck out of Whammy's; it was getting really annoying there and I couldn't bring myself to study for the test tomorrow. I'll just have to beat Near another way. The wind was whipping things around and made the rain seem wilder than it actually was; my red coat flapped around my legs and my blonde hair kept getting in my eyes. Believe it or not, there were a lot of people rushing around; people kept bumping into each other. I had no destination really; I just wanted to get some air. Whammy's was quite a bit away from civilization, so I took a bus to the city. Everything seemed louder and brighter in the city; there was a delicious smells coming from the restaurants and my stomach growled. It was nearly seven, and I had already missed supper. I wasn't ready to go and eat yet so I kept walking, trying to avoid crashing into people and slipping a few times. It was relaxing to get out sometimes and just observe; Matt didn't want to come with me, being too busy with his game. I spotted a convenient shop and walked towards it, I was running out of chocolate anyways. The shop was busier than I expected; grapping two handfuls of different chocolates made my way to the line. A few girls glanced at me, giggling. I scoffed as I placed my merchandise on the counter. When the door swung open; I had mistaken the girl for a boy at first; her slightly wavy fringe was too long, falling across her forehead into her eyes, while the rest curled around her ears, the rest of her hair barely reached below her neck. She had a flat almost bored expression on her face despite being soaked; she shook her hair like a dog, spraying everyone near her to their dismay. She ran her hand roughly through her hair, exposing her livid eyes; eyes that were unexpected, especially since she had looked so bored at first. I hadn't expected such emotion to be in her eyes, it was contradicting. I noticed that everyone was looking at me, waiting for me to pay. I grunted and put down a few bucks before leaving. I strolled down the street; opening a bar and pondering what I saw in the girl. She seemed normal enough but there was something in her expression; she didn't seem to be bothered by the rain, so that didn't cause the unrelenting emotion in her eyes. The rain was starting to worsen; and I got shelter in a bus booth. It was about time I went back, before Roger found out that I left. Everything seemed so ordinary, which was a good thing when you live in Whammy's where everyone was encouraged to be extraordinary. The bus didn't come too long after that; it took exactly an hour to get back to Whammy's and by then it was thoroughly dark and everything was wet. Granted Roger found out and reprimanded me; it wasn't of concern though. Matt was still playing the game and didn't even lift his head when I came in. I ground my teeth and snapped off a piece of my chocolate. Two weeks had passed when I saw her again, it wasn't raining but it was very dark. I had sneaked out once again, only at a much later time. She was fiddling with the lock of a house; my jaw dropped in shock, I had not expected that. She was in there for a while; when she came out, she was holding something. I couldn't see properly from where I was. She glanced behind at me as if she knew I was there, and dashed away from the crime scene, avoiding people and ducking faster than I thought possible. I don't know when I started to chase her, one moment I was watching her commit a crime, the next I was following her. She ducked into an alley; I cautiously slowed down, panting. When I followed inside, she was gone. I inwardly cursed, for allowing her to get away. I turned back and walked out and looked for a corner shop, I had forgotten to get chocolate. Just as I was about to enter however, the bus rolled into view, I contemplated getting chocolate but this happened to be the last bus for the night. I growled and cursed the girl for wasting my time, and hauled myself into the bus. I'll just have to ask Roger to get some for me tomorrow. Good thing Roger didn't catch me as I sneaked into Matt's room; knowing him he would refuse and I'd spend the rest of my time in detention. Matt, who was sprawled on his bed, turned around and glared at me.
"What the bloody hell took you so long?" he asked, he knew something had happened and I considered lying to him, the mysterious girl was only something that I knew of.
"I saw this girl breaking into some place, and stealing." I told him, the "are you serious" expression on his face made me smirk.
"What did you do?" he asked like I was the one who committed a crime; I glared at him and sat on his bed. I picked up one of his game controllers.
"I got caught up chasing her, so I didn't get the chance to get chocolate." I growled out. He snickered and turned on his game. I don't know how long we played before Roger slammed open the door and barked at us.
"What are you doing awake at this time? Get to sleep." I rolled my eyes and paused the game. Roger closed the door and left in a hurry, probably to yell at some poor bloke. Matt un-paused the game while I thought of why the girl interested me so much. It was odd; her face was so neutral she could have been Near's reflection for all anyone knew, however her eyes shouted at the fury she was obviously trying to hide. It was the second time that I have seen her in less than a month. I made my decision then; I'd sneak out tomorrow. I didn't get the chance as my English teacher, who was a hag by the way decided that we have to do pen pals to one of the middle schools in the region. The class was outraged and didn't hesitate to show it, except Matt, myself, the sheep and Linda. She was all too happy to socialize with unintelligent losers. The teacher handed everyone a folded slip of paper; inside was a name she explained like no one already knew. I unfolded my piece without waiting for her to explain; I shrugged smugly at her when she glared.
Izabella
I did a mental eye roll and contemplated switching with someone; I glanced at the sheep and saw that he had the same expression he always did. I shoved my chair back and strolled over to him, snatching the piece of paper of his desk I couldn't help but envy him, the name on his paper sounded a lot more interesting than mine did. Lunette. It meant idol, image or moon.
"Get back to your desk Mello, and put Near's slip down now." The dictator snapped from her desk at the back of the class. I growled and plodded to my desk, throwing myself into it to piss her off.
We had a "field trip" to the chosen middle school the next day; I was in no mood to talk with idiots much less girl idiots. We will be talking to our partners; that didn't even make sense to me considering that pen pals were supposed to send letters to each other. I swear the woman is brain dead. When we arrived there, the students gave us curious and awed looks as everyone knew about the intellectual prowess of the Whammy kids. I glared at anyone who looked at me. I glanced back at Matt only to discover that he was still playing with his game boy, I almost pitied the person who got paired up with him. The teacher seated us at the back of the class while we waited for the students to arrive to their class. I stared out the window, snapping a piece of my chocolate. Kids started to slowly fill the class; their teacher which was a balding male told them to take their seats as he shut the door even though there was two seats still available. It took a couple minutes for the students to get themselves ready; when someone knocked on the door. Well this just got interesting; even if it was for a while. I couldn't wait for the loser to come in and embarrass themselves; two girls shuffled in. The first one's head was angled down trying to hide a blush; the downward angle of her head caused her blond hair to collect at the front. The second one was looking at the first in what seemed to be concern; I nearly fell off my chair when I recognized her. It was the thief. She had the same short black hair, and the same light brown skin, and then she looked up as if sensing that someone was looking at her. She leveled her virulent eyes with my own and narrowed them slightly; the eye contact didn't last even a second when she turned away and dragged the other girl to the still empty seats at the front. I saw my teacher glare at me from my peripheral vision and quickly sat down; I didn't realize that I stood up.
