AN: I'm finally updating and I have a surprise for you all at the end of this fanfiction, but I have to get through the middle parts first. After this chapter I'll be updating the characters in this fanfiction.
Samuel got up and put his glasses on, no one else was in the room.
He wasn't awake to hear the horrible news.
He was also confused that his usual cart with a jar of nutella and a baguette that usually arrived before he woke up wasn't there.
Samuel walked out of the room and down the hallway, he heard something in the library.
He stepped into the library silently, inside were all of the other children at Wammy's (about 30) and Roger Ruvie, who was telling everyone to sit down and be quiet.
Samuel knew when to sit, so he sat in between Near and Mello.
It gradually got quieter until there was silence.
"I know you are all surprised by L's death," L's death? But L can't die, Samuel bit the right half of his bottom lip, "But I need to see a few students."
Roger coughed, "Near, Mello, Matt, Cenn and Saer, please come with me."
Samuel stood up, as did Mello, Near, Matt and a girl with somewhat short, black hair.
They all followed Roger to his office, on the way there, Samuel saw that the girl also had large green eyes that rarely blinked and pale, somewhat freckly skin.
She also seemed to slouch slightly.
Upon reaching his office, Roger told them to all sit on a couch outside of it.
Near sat on the floor in front of the couch with his knees near his face, he had a puzzle in front of him.
Mello sat in a very relaxed manner, almost leaning back, he had a chocolate bar in his right hand an was unwrapping it.
Matt sat in an even more relaxed manner, almost leaning against Mello.
The Girl, who will from now on be called Cenn, sat almost normally on the couch, though she still slouched slightly.
Samuel attempted to sit normally, but felt very uncomfortable, he preferred to be standing or laying down.
Roger stuck his head out of the door of the office, "Near, Mello, please come in."
They both stood up and walked into the office.
Samuel noticed that he still hadn't released his lip from his teeth, but he was still thinking about L.
The girl appeared to be biting the knuckle of her right index finger.
He looked at her feet, she wasn't wearing shoes or socks, but neither was he.
A few minutes later, everyone outside of the office heard yelling that they recognized as Mello's.
A short time later, Mello came bursting out of the room and started down the hallway, Matt got up and followed him.
Near came out quietly a couple of moments after, walking down the hallway and out of the office last came Roger, who was holding three folders.
"Where did Matt go?" Roger paused for a moment, "Oh well, I guess I'll just give you two your folders."
He handed both of the people on the couch separate folders and sighed, muttering, "If only these children were as predictable as bugs..."
Samuel opened his folder and inside was a single document.
Cenn opened her folder and gasped in what seemed to be horror.
At the top of the page it said, "Rank: 5th"
Below that was a description that seemed to match Samuel quite well.
"Saer is a very interesting boy. He seems similar to me because of his love of sugar, though he seems to prefer it in the form of nutella, which he spreads onto slices of baguette. He also seems to eat things other than sugar...like vegetables. He also doesn't prefer to wear shoes or socks, unless it's winter, which is quite logical. He argues whenever I risk a life other than my own, even a criminal, which I do not like. He's also quite capable of surprising me, he has done so approximately 29 times. The boy also has skills in sneaking, lockpicking and hacking, though his skills in hacking are just slightly less than the boy known as Matt. Overall, I'd say he would be a good replacement, though not great, amazing, fantastic or The Best."
At the very bottom of the page there was a gothic L.
Samuel was completely shocked, he had failed, he was 5th, 5th, this was completely unacceptable, L's reasons for not choosing him as his successor were ridiculous.
He wanted to scream, there was nothing wrong with vegetables or baguettes!
How dare L insult his beloved baguettes, it was absolute blasphemy!
Samuel stood up angrily, closing the folder and taking a look at Cenn, who was staring, shocked, at her folder.
He then marched down the hallway to his room and lay down on his bed, noticing that his stomach was making loud noises and hurting, he still hadn't eaten all day.
Groaning, Samuel rolled off of the bed and walked to the cafeteria, where he got a baguette, a bread knife, a jar of nutella, a fork and a small amount of broccoli and asparagus, which were almost completely covered in salt.
He sat down at a small, round table, setting all 3 of his plates down and immediately beginning to eat the vegetables.
Cenn sat down next to him, she had a plate with twenty strawberries (the leaves removed) and a bowl of pasta with a fork in it.
"This is ridiculous," she said quietly, shoving a strawberry into her mouth.
"What is?" Samuel knew that was probably a terrible question.
"L chose me as 4th, he should've made me 1st. You know what he said about me? He said I blink too much. I blink too much, how ridiculous."
"He insulted vegetables and made me 5th."
"Really? That's crazy, why did he insult them?"
"He said I ate them too much, though I only have the required number of servings a day."
"He probably never eats vegetables."
Samuel cut several slices off of the baguette, counting each one and then spreading nutella on each slice using the bread knife.
He thought he heard his name called and spun around, when he looked at his sliced of baguette, one was missing.
Samuel looked at Cenn, she wasn't chewing anything, then she shoved another strawberry into her mouth.
"Did you steal some of my baguette?"
Her eyes widened as much as they could, (which wasn't much) "How did you know?"
"I counted them."
"I should've known, you seem like the kind of person to do that," she turned her head slightly to the side.
"Did we just become friends?" Samuel asked, which was followed by him biting the right half of his lower lip.
She ate another strawberry, then bit her knuckle, "I think we did."
AN: So, Samuel has a friend, and he really likes baguettes and nutella, he also seems to hate failure. I hope you enjoyed this, please review!
