Faded

Sitting there, just staring at the blank puzzle, she sighed and got up. She tied her hair into a ponytail. She kicked the puzzle and began destroying it. Her room was now a mess. Puzzle pieces were everywhere. She sighed and shook her head. It's not worth it...

"Wow. Your room is a mess." a voice called from the doorway. She turned around, only to be met by the eyes of her older sister, Rachael a.k.a. Leigh. She hung her head low in embarrassment. Her sister shook her head. "Kye, if you really are that frustrated about your life then get a healthier strategy to calm yourself down. No need to make a mess about it. Literally."

Kye; it was her alias. Kye didn't really hate her life. She hated herself, actually. Her appearance to be more exact. Her eyes; one was blue and one was brown. She despised them. She despised them so much. She thought of herself as ugly because of them. Everything else about her was pretty much normal; her pin-straight dark hair with one thick blond highlight, her pale skin, and her delicate curves. She believed that her sister was more sophisticated and more beautiful. Her sister had medium brown hair had reached her waist, her eyes were normal like everyone else's: both were the same color, dark brown.

Kye shook her head. "You don't understand, Leigh. I'm not normal. No one in this world will love me, understand me, care for me. No one. That is why I was cursed with these eyes."

Leigh seemed taken back by this. "Kye! I care for you! I understand you! I love you as a sister! Please don't be so negative about yourself!"

Kye could feel the tears backing up in her eyes. She stormed out of her room with tears falling down her cheeks. "Liar!" she cried behind her.

"Kye! Kye! Kye..." she heard her sister's faint call as she proceeded further and further down the hallway.

Kye was frustrated with herself. All she wanted to do was fade. Fade away like the words on an old piece of paper. Fade away like fog when the sun comes out. Just fade.

It does sound kind of emo, doesn't it?

Kye sat on an old, rusted sing in the playground. She lifted her feet up from the ground and began to swing. Just then she saw someone approaching her. A boy. She stopped and stared. He had maroon colored hair. Matt was his name. His real name was unknown to her. "Hi Matt." she said quietly.

"Hey, Kye."

Matt. His name, Kye thought, was like a poem. It was pretty obvious that she had a major crush on him. Almost everyone here at Wammy's House knew. But she would never admit it.

"What's wrong?" he asked as he saw her wet cheeks. She blushed and looked down.

"It's nothing."

Matt sat on the swing next to her. "So, it's really nothing?" he asked again.

"Yes, really."

"Really?"

"Really!"

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

"Are you positive?"

"Absolutely."

"...Really?"

"Matt!"

"Ok, ok! I was only kidding, ya know?"

Kye rolled her eyes and nodded. Both stayed silent for a few moments until Matt broke it. "You know, if there really is something you want to tell me..."

"Matt. Really it's nothing." she interrupted.

"Kye. I've seen you cry whenever I walk pass your room. I know that something's wrong."

Kye sighed. I guess I could tell him...

She took a deep breath. "Ok. Matt? Can I ask you something?"

He smirked."You already did, though."

Kye rolled her eyes. "Seriously." she said, looking stressed.

Matt took that as a cue to quit fooling around. "Ok, shoot."

"Matt, do you think I am ugly?" she asked quietly.

"Of course not! Why would you think that?" He responded in slight shock.

"Because," she started, "I am! I mean my eyes are two different colors! That is not normal!"

Matt shook his head. "You're wrong about that." he said. Kye looked at him in confusion. Matt looked at her and shook his head. "Ya know, alot of people are different in this world. People have their own habits, looks, and personalities. That's what makes the world go 'round." Kye stared at him. He chuckled. "L told me that..."

They sat in silence once again. "Well, we better go. It's almost lunch time. I promised Mello I'd be the first in line to grab him a couple of chocolates. He's gonna get pretty upset if I don't."

Matt got up and lended her a hand. "Come on, let's go." he said, smiling. Kye smiled as well and took his hand. They walked towards the building to have their meal...and to get some chocolate for Mello.

"Where have you been?! I've been waiting forever for my chocolate!" Mello yelled at Matt for not getting to the lunchroom on time.

"Chillax, Mello. There are still some chocolate left." Matt said, coolly. Mello was about to say something back, but Kye interrupted him.

"You know, Mello. You really should get your own chocolate." she said quietly.

Mello glared at her. "Don't talk back to me, you heterochromia freak!"

Kye could feel her tears coming back. She bit her bottom lip, trying to prevent herself from crying. Obviously, it failed. Her tears flowed freely like a waterfall. Matt saw this and got irritated. "Mello! Don't say things like that! She obviously didn't mean it! Calm down!" Mello threw a death glare at him.

"Oh, stick up for your girlfriend!" Matt blushed.

"S-She's not my girlfriend! She's just a friend!"

Kye was hurt by this. She knew that now one would love her. No one will ever love me! I knew it!!!

Then, L came in the room. "Alright, what's going on here?" he asked. Silence answered him. L grew irritated. "What happened?" he asked again.

"N-Nothing (hiccup), L. I j-just (hiccup) got some dirt (hiccup) in m-my eye." Kye managed to say.

"Mello? Did you say anything hurtful? Again?" L asked while trying to comfort Kye.

"I only said that she was a heterochromia freak. I really didn't mean anything by it!" Mello exclaimed.

"Sure you didn't." L said, sarcasticly. "Mello, apologize to Kaya." Mello stepped forward.

"Sorry." he mumbled. Kye looked at him and smiled.

"Good, now everything's settled. Everyone, go eat your lunches." Then L walked out of the room.

"Are you ok?" Matt asked. Kye nodded and smiled.

"Yes, I am." Then she turned to Mello. "I'm sorry I got you into trouble, Mello."

"Yeah, and I'm sorry I called you a heterochromia freak." he said.

"It's ok. I know you didn't mean it." she said.

"Come on, let's go eat lunch." Matt said. Then the trio walked and got their lunches.

By the end of the day, most of the orphans were either in bed, or quietly doing activities. Kye was one of them. She was reading a book. It was called Faded. She loved that book. She would keep reading it and reading it, and never ot tired of it. But here was a part that she foud interesting:

"I feel that I am too ugly. Too ugly to even bother to show my face to the world. Everyone says that I'm not; that I'm a gift from God. That I was an angel, sent straight down from Heaven.

"How could I, should I, would I believe them? They aren't me. They don't wake up everyday feeling like it's the great depression of their lives. They just say that to make me feel better. Sure doesn't help, I could tell them that.

"All I want to do is fade. That's right, fade. Fade away and never exist. Because no one in this world understands me. No one can know how I truly feel. Until love comes aroud the corner and pays me a visit. For now."

It sounded so much like how she felt right now. Waking up every morning feeling drab and sick. Sick of herself. Feeling that it was the greatest depression of her life. She wanted to fade...

But the part that talks about love confuses her. Would she, could she be in love? No. She shook her head. That could never happen, she thought. She ripped a piece of paper from the page and used it as a bookmark. She sighed and closed her book, turned off her light, and fell into a deep sleep.

Ok. How did I do?

B.R.--OMG! I can't believe that I actually posted a Death Note story! (squee!!!)

Matt-- I know, you've said it 50,000 times...

Mello-- Yeah, we don't need anymore freaks around here.

Kye/Kaya--You think I'm a freak? (starts to cry)

Mello-- H-Hey! Don't cry! I didn't mean to...

Matt & L & B.R.-- Yeah, yeah. We know. (whispers to each other: such a scaredy cat)

Mello-- I Can Hear YOU!!!!!

B.R.-- Whatever. R&R people! Free plushies and m&m's to those who do!

Mello&Matt&L&Kye&B.R.-- BYE!!!!
