L's alarm went off at 6:30 sharp. He got up and went to see if Watari was up yet. "Watari, you up yet? Remember you have to drive Margie and me to school." L said knocking at the door. Watari opened the door "Yes, I didn't forget. You go to the middle school starting today." L nods "Uh huh. Now come on." Watari walks through the door and heads downstairs.
L jumped into the shower. "Crap, where's that towel." He reached in and felt something else. He took it out "Wow, haven't seen you in a while. I'll put you back." He places the object back in and grabs the towel. He dries off and goes back to his room. "I have to wear socks again, geez. Maybe if I slip on my shoes without them, no one will notice." He does that and heads off to meet with Watari.
Down in the kitchen, Watari and Josie are chatting over a cup of tea. "Good morning, L. Margie just called; she should be over here soon." Josie said pouring L a cup. L sits down and eats his breakfast. "This is good, Aunt Josie." Josie smiles "I thought you should have a good meal before school." L smiles and the door bell rings. Watari stands up and answers it. "L, Margie's here. Get ready to go." He says and L stands up and does what he was instructed to do. Josie cleans up the table and says good bye to both of them.
They get in the car and buckle up. "L, are you ready? I'm kinda nervous." Margie says as Watari starts the car. "I'm ok. I hope that Joey Peterson won't be in our class." L says with his thumb close to his lip. Margie smiles "He moved away this summer, you won't have to worry." L sighs and Watari stops the car "Ok, we're here. Have a good day." Margie and L as Watari drives off. "It's really not that far. We could just walk home." L says walking up to the door. Margie smiles "That would be nice." They open the door and find their new classroom.
They take out their schedules when a familiar face walks down the hall "Hey Margie, L." L smiles "Hey Kevin, where's your room?" Kevin smiles "Right here. Let me see your schedules." Margie and L hold them out "Yeah, we're all in the same room. Let's go in." Margie and L follow him in. The teacher walks over "Welcome, guys. I'm Mr. Kerrington." L steps up "I'm L. These are my friends Margie and Kevin." Mr. Kerrington smiles "L, huh? Do you mean Lawliet?" L nods "I just like to be called L." Mr. Kerrington looks at him "All right, find your seats." L bows and they run off.
L gets in his seat in his normal fashion. Margie sharpens a pencil and Kevin sits with his head down. Mr. Kerrington starts going over the rules. Before they knew it, the day was over. Watari sits outside and the three-some walks out. "Hey Watari, can we walk home?" L says with a smile. Watari looks at him "Ok. You know the way. See you at home." He drives off and L's squad heads off in the same direction.
Kevin and L stop in front of a large mansion. Margie sees them stop and runs back. "What are you up to, guys?" L was standing in front of the guard. The guard stood perfectly still. "They, don't move, Margie." L started a crazy dance in front of one of the guards. That guard stood still as a strong tree in a storm. "Well, let's go. My mother wants me home." Kevin said and Margie and L start walking again. Kevin breaks off down a side street. L and Margie wave and head on for home on the main street.
"See you, L." Margie says walking in to her house. L waved and then went into Aunt Josie's. "Watari, I'm back." L says closing the door. Josie comes down the stairs "Mr. Ryuzaki, what are these?" She says in an angry tone. L smiles jokingly "Socks." She looks at L's feet. "You didn't wear any socks, did you?" L nods and runs to his room. Josie follows him "L, tell me why you didn't wear them." L crosses his arms "They're itchy, Aunt Josie. No one noticed." Josie sat down by him. "You have to wear them, L." L looks down "Ok, but I won't like it."
For the next hour or so, L lied on his bed and did his homework. He did nothing the rest of the night. The only thing he did was play his video games but nothing else.
