The design for my website was genius, it had to be said. I had no idea who had made it, but instead of the bright girly web page full of pop-ups and side-adverts I was dreading facing, all that appeared on the page was a white background with a large gothic black L in the middle.
L was the alias I had decided to go by, it was after all my given name. the fact the rest of the school knew me as Lawliet Whammy was because that was my parents last name, as is Watari's.
At the top of the screen I noticed a little mailbox. I checked it out of habit, even though surely no one would have written yet.
Oh, what do you know. A letter.
Dear L
I hate my best friend. I know that sounds horrible but its true. He is rude, self-centred, greedy and he uses me and his other friends but never does anything for us. I know I should stop talking to him and stop him being my friend, but I'm afraid that I'll end up without any friends at all. He has the power to make sure no one ever speaks to me again . What should I do?

Damn it.I guess I should have thought this through more. This girl (Im guessing it was a girl) had problems involving friends something I had little experience in. Surly most people one here will have relationship problems of some sort. Well, there's never been a better time to just wing it.
Dear KT…

Takada was acting strangely today. She kept letting her mind wander during class with is weird for her because she's normally very focused. And just now, during lunch, she didn't even glare at Misa when she rolled the waistband of her skirt round to make it shorter.
"Takada get your act together for kami's sake your really bugging me" I said pushing the arm that she was resting her head on so her chin crashed onto the table.
"Light will you just leave me alone! There are other people besides you in the world after all!" she snapped. I was stunned, she hadn't risen her voice to me once in the long time we'd know each other. Misa and Mikami noticed as well, and stopped eating in favour of turing and staring at us in shocked silence.
"Kiyomi-san" I said in a long voice. I only called her that when she was being a little to slow asking how high to jump, or when she was in deep crap "You and I both know what will happen if we get into an argument..you don't really want to be left on your own do you now? this school would eat you alive after all"
Mikami looked at Takada with a worried face. He liked her well enough, but we all knew that if Takada was shunned, He'd stay on my side. He wasn't that Stupid. and apparently neither was Takada.
"I'm sorry Light-san.." she spoke like she hated herself for saying it, but oh well. Its not like a cared whether or not she was happy being my friend. its not like any of use were truly happy like this, except maybe Misa, but it was the way it worked. and the way I intended on keeping things.

After eavesdropping in on Light and Kiyomi's little spat I headed to the library to check if I had gotten anymore letters. after receiving my first letter I was surprised how exited I had suddenly gotten about the whole thing. I could make a difference with this little gig. I could make the school better. I could bring justice for all those like me, shunned, pushed around, talked about. and I could bring the people that made our lives like this back down a peg or two. yep, Justice will prevail.
or maybe I'll advise a teenage girl how to keep her skin from breaking out. endless possibilities.
as I entered the library I heard voices. raised voices. The librarian wasn't around and it sounded like there was a fight or something happening. not wanting to get involved, I turned to leave but then I recognized the slightly girly voice of Nate River.
Nate was a incredibly smart 13 year old, he'd skipped years in school and was younger than everyone else by at least two years. Some people (mostly girls) found him cute and fussed over him a lot. but most were jealous of his intelligence, so he was virtually friendless in the school.
I peered round a bookshelf to see what was happening. Nate was sitting on the ground, a large book clutched to his chest and a tower of dice in front of him. looming over him, fists and teeth clenched, was Micheal kheel, another younger boy that had skipped classes. but not as many as Nate had, and apparently that made him resentful to the white-haired kid.
"For fuck sake Nate, grow up will you!" he shouted, kicking the tower and showering Nate with dice. "Your in high school now, playing with toys is for children!"
Nates face stayed impassive as he slipped the fallen dice into the pocket of his...Pjamas?
"Michael, I would prefer you didn't do that again, my tower was very high that time. Besides, in case you've forgotten, the fact your to old to play with toys is ivelivent, I am quiet a bit younger than you are. even though we're at the same academic level, strange huh?" He said cooly, moments before Michaels foot collided with his chest.
"Shut the fuck up you albino freak!"
I decided it was time to intervene, stepping out from behind my hiding place.
"Keehl-kun, there's a 83% chance that if you continue trying to stick you foot through Nantes liver, you'll get blood on his book"
Michael's face turned red and he quickly retracted his foot. "I'm sorry Light-San, we were- I mean I was just..." Oh yeah, I'd forgotten how much this kid looked up to me (Lord knows why) but it was good in a way, he was very hot headed and i was lucky not to have him as an enemy.
"Michael was just lending me this book Lawliet-San, and warning me not to muck-it up" Nate lied surprisingly well, not knowing that I had watch them and knew that wasn't the case "I'll get it back to you soon, I'd better go start studying. Michael, Lawliet." he nodded goodbye and walked off, hand placed nonchalantly under his ribcage where I could practically see a purple bruise forming under the white material.
I didn't understand why Nate protected Michael when he had the perfect chance to show him up in front of me. Maybe they got on better than they let on.
"So.." Mihael shifted on his feet, looking uncomfortable. thankfully we were saved any awkward conversation when a boy with red hair and donned in bright orange goggles wandered over to us.
"Mels, that Halle girl is hanging around outside waiting for you again, should I tell her to fuc- oh hey" The boy looked up from the PSP he was focused on and spotted me "Who's your friend?"
I was going to introduce myself but before I could Michael grabbed the boys hand and started leading him towards the exit shouting bye back at me as he left. He was clearly in a hurry to see this Halle-person. or to get away from me, Im not sure.

Dear KT
Your description of your friend sounds familiar, which i suppose isn't surprising if he's as popular as you say. I understand your in a difficult situation and don't wish to become an outcast, but no person that treats you badly with no regret can really be a friend. I advise you talk to some of your other friends and see if they feel the same way you do. If you all agree that your friend is out of line, then you can all stick together and you won't need him anymore. he can't turn them against you if they don't like him ethier.
I hope this helps. Sincerely, L
