It turns out I wouldn't be writing for a magazine like I first thought. I would have my own little website where people could write in with their various problems under a fake name, and muggings here would have to think of some ingenious way of making it all better. Fun.
Of course, I too would be anonymous. Which was good I guess because I'm not exactly the first person people come running to when they need a shoulder to cry on. The fact my parents had died two years ago in a car crash was a secret to no one, and I suppose even the shallow people around here know that in retrospect the fact they think their fat or didn't make the cheerleading squad are slightly less devastating problems.
I sat in front of my laptop staring at the screen. I had just finished the heap of extra homework I had been assigned and still had a while before I had to leave for school. Technically this would be a good time to set up my website, But I just couldn't get motivated to do it, so I turned the monitor off.I mean its not as if their would be a huge line of people begging for my advise and just praying that I would sign onto the computer and make their problems go away.
"I'm going to school Watari" I called from the front door of our massive house. my voiced echoed of the marble walls.
"Wait Lawliet, and I'll give you a lift" he answered walking over and attempting to flatten my hair. (many have tried, none shall prevail!)
I hated driving to school. Watari drove a beutiful old fashion buick, but the embarassment of being seen in such a posh, such a BRITSH car anywhere near that school was too much to think about. Light would have a feild-day.
"Its fine Watari, its such a nice day it be a shame to drive, plus, Im ealry" I said as nicely as possible. I hated that fact I no longer told him when I had probles with things, we used to be so honest with each other. But I know if he knew what it was really like for me in that school he would be horribly upset. and I just couldn't do that to him.
he let me go and after about fithteen minets I was walking into hel- school. I was still five minets early so I sat down with a book and tried to get into my reading. but then a earsplitting high voice peirced the air.
RAITO!
Oh great, it was Misa Amane. Natrally she was wearing a skirt that looked more like a belt and she was draped over Lights shoulder like she was just learing how to walk. ah, Light.
Im not so sure what the rest of the world saw in him actually. I mean sure, maybe his hair was perfect in that just-rolled-out-of-bed-like-this-really way and his eyes were the colour of melted chocolate and his clothes where always so neat, from the twist of his necktie to the folds on his trousers. He was also amazingly smart and brillent at tennis (but so was I). apart from all that, he didn't seem so great. Its not like he was likeable or anything.
Crap he caught me staring! no point looking down now like some meek little kid. I wasn't afraid of him thats for sure.
"Enjoying the veiw Lawliet?" he asked in a patronising way. god he was annoying, but I couldn't help but notice how the lighting was reflecting off his eyes, making them seem almost red.
Light-kun, are you really so vain to assume I was watching you. I was merely trying to look in the mirror, but it seems you feel the need to take up the entire thing with your disproportionate head" I lied smoothly, but it was still a bad lie. He ignored it anyway, and started sproting some rubbish about me stalking him. stareing at someone and staking them where totally diffrent things, not that I was staring at him or anything just-
oh they were leaving. right in the middle of a convesation how rude.
"I'll see you in maths!" I called over almost friendly, but they just kept walking. I don't know why I called, I just felt like it.

Mikami was saving me a seat when I walked into class. A pretty good one too, right at the window.
"Hello Raito-san" He said as I approched, quickly moving his bag off my seat and suffaling over to give me more room. Yepp I had him well trained thats for sure. Takada sat behind him and she smiled at me when I sat down.
"Raito-san, Mikami and I where planing on going to down town for lunch and we were wondering if you'd like to-"
"I havn't any money" I lied "Lend me some?"
"well I" Takada flustered. I know she had more money than she let on, so she might as well share some of it with me.
"Takada I thought we were all friends, you me Mikami and Misa, but if you really are fine with leaving me-"
"I have money Raito, you can come!" she said quickly. It was almost too easy to get round them. almost.
But thats what friends are for right, they help you, do things you can't be bothered doing and always make sure your happy. Thats what mine do anyway, theres no way any of them would be anything without me. So whatever I want from them, whatever it takes to stay on my good side, they'll do. just like everyone else.
it almost makes life a little...boring.
well I geuss not everyone wants to be my friends. There is Lawliet. but being his friend would be socile suicide, besides, its not like he likes me anyway.
Boring right? don't worry I'll start the plot properly next chappie. reveiws are better than christmas in july.
