dinner was held in a dining room with a big table. The whole room was white and so was the table cloth. There was Cornish pastie and all kinds of other British food I could not guess the name of or knew existed. I was after all not a person who dined on British food often.
Mello took a seat and I was sat on the other side so I was facing matt. I tried out different foods. Rodger shook his head for not finishing what I couldn't eat because it tasted so dog gone awful, but I didn't care. Mello was sipping on chocolate milk. I asked if a juice or fruit punch was available. The put some British soda. I sipped that preferring my Japanese soda. Then there was desert. I saw chocolates for Mello but the rest again were British treats. I didn't eat those and instead sipped my pop. The place was noisy as there was so much conversation.
Soon after that Rodger rang a bell and everyone looked at him. They either stopped eating or just stopped talking as Rodger said "I have a few announcements to make. First we have a new student." Everyone looked at me. "She is from Japan" I rolled my eyes. Just cause L found me there, didn't mean I was from there. "she's number 5 and will have her first school year with us" he said and I could see Mello's eyes on me I wasn't bad being five right off the bat. "please make her feel welcome" he finished and I wanted to strangle Rodger. How dare he?! I thought angry. I mean I did not want to be told about just a 'this is Ace, a new student. Please make her feel welcome.' would have done nicely.
I looked around the table and saw suspicion in Mello, Matt and Near's faces. I was going to have to have a good excuse. I looked mentally through my notes finally I came up with an excuse. I would have no rumors behind my back in this one. "I was a witness to Kira's power a would be rape victim but the guy collapsed of a heart attack and died at my feet. I then asked the police for help who referred me to Wateri" I explained. It was the truth without details so I couldn't trigger alarms by lying. "my friends are the Bleach lover Kai and the Naruto lover Lee" I continued. It gave me clout with the girls having two model friends. I would never give their real names just in case they could be killed by the death note from someone knowing their real names.
"so why'd you leave?" asked one of them
"I did it to protect myself" I replied
"you say almost how far did he get?" asked Near emotionless and I shook so much I dropped my glass and it hit the floor spilling. I was glad it wasn't real glass. "h-he umm was coming after me" I swallowed. "I was trapped in a japanese bathroom I kept telling him to stop even warned him I'd tell kira" I then shut down before composing myself. "he was touching me and died at my feet mid sentence. " Mello went over to me glaring at Near
"you don't ask a girl how far he got with her. Almost rape is almost rape" Mello growled
"did she tell you about it?" Asked Near emotionless but his eyes looking at Mello listening
"No but I did read about the video of the one who was almost raped and ran away and know such details could make them utterly scared" replied Mello like Near was a dumb ass.
