"Oh God, I'm so nervous!"

I paced around the front of the exam room, rubbing my hands together and fiddling with my hair.

"Relax, you're going to be fine." Ryuzaki rolled his eyes at me.

"You may not be nervous, but I am! I hate tests!"

Ryuzaki sighed as I irritatedly dropped myself on one of the chairs in front of the room.

"The test will begin in ten minutes!" The supervisor called from inside. I felt sick.

"Come on, we have to go in." Ryuzaki grabbed my arm and pulled me into the classroom completely ignoring my protesting.

We sat next to each other and I was on the verge if panic.

"I-I-I thought t-this would be o-over when I got out of s-school, BUT NO! N-now I have to t-take a h-high school e-exam for my job!" I hyperventilated.

"Stop being weird."

"I'm not bein-"

"The exam will begin now!"

I turned to the front of the classroom.

"Pass the papers back."

When I received the exam, I took one copy and passed the rest to the person behind me.

"You have 2 hours. Good luck!"

I took a deep breath and began filling in the little bubbles on the multiple choice scantron.

"Student number 162! Sit normally please!"

I'm student number 163, so student number 162 is...

"Ryuzaki!" I whispered harshly, "Sit normally!"

"But if I do, my deduction abilities will decrease by forty percent!"

Then all of a sudden, he looked forward.

"Hey! What is it now?" I followed his line of vision and gasped.

It was Yagami Light.

And he was looking right at us.

"Oh, shit."

I turned my eyes back on the test and kicked Ryuzaki from under the table. Eventually, he also turned his eyes back to his test.

There (luckily) weren't any more problems during the rest of the exam.

"It's finally over!" I sighed in relief.

"You did quite a lot of hyperventilating in there." Ryuzaki said while glancing at the clock.

"I COULDN'T HELP IT!" I threw my pen at him.

He easily caught the pen and pockets it.

"You shouldn't throw things at people who can catch them."

I glared at him.

"Well, I guess we'll just have to wait for the results."

"I GOT IN!"

I breathed a sigh of relief. I was in the top 50, I guess that's not bad.

"Ryuzaki! How did you do?"

"Hmm? I got a perfect score."

"Eh? P-perfect?"

"Yes?"

"Like a hundred percent?"

"That's what a perfect score means."

My jaw dropped and I looked at him with angry eyes. Grr. Smart people.

"But I was tied with someone."

"Oh? Who's my savior?"

"I was tied with Yagami Light." He said with a slight smile.

"Yagami Light?" I cocked an eyebrow. I knew he was smart, but if he managed to score the same score as Ryuzaki, then his skills are basically matched up to Ryuzaki's.

"Yes," he gave another small smile, "This is going to be fun."

"Okay?"

"Tomorrow's the entrance ceremony, be prepared."

"Okay."

"I hate dresses." I tugged and pulled at my dress attempting to make it more comfortable while waiting for Ryuzaki, "Where is he anyway?"

"Good morning."

I turned to see him in his everyday attire.

"WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU WEARING?"

"What is it?"

"Your clothing has to be formal for the event!"

"Oh, don't worry about it, I'll be fine."

"But it's disrespectful!"

"Well, nothing we can do about it now. Let's go."

We arrive at the entrance ceremony and sat next to each other.

"There he is." Ryuzaki nudges me and points to the left.

I follow his finger and see Yagami Light.

"You two are each doing a speech, right?"

He nodded, "It'll be a good time to observe his movements and make friends with him."

"Now, we will have our two top-scoring students come up to make a speech. Hideki Ryuzaki and Yagami Light."

Ryuzaki stood up and made his way up stage.

Applause filled the room and the two smarties went to sit down.

Yagami Light happened to decide to sit in the empty chair next to Ryuzaki.

I kept a poker face, but I was panicking inside. Did he find Ryuzaki suspicious?

Impossible, he wouldn't just happen to find him suspicious. I shook my head to rid of my worries.

"Yagami Light," I heard Ryuzaki whisper, "I have a secret."

"What are you doing?" I nudged him with my elbow, but he ignored me.

"Oh?"

"Do you want to know my secret?"

Yagami stared forward with no expression in his face.

"I am L."
