I got a text and I shivered it was how Misa and Light had met. Yeah that was phase two of it now that she found Kira. She had also texted me how handsome and great he was. I told her to erase all of her out boxes then she could pick and choose wich would be harmless text on the cell phone and keep those. She texted how handsome he was up close and how he was her boyfriend. I sighed. I texted Kai and Lee asking how they met Light. Aoiyama was the response I got of course they could do it like that Ryuk would be flipping the fuck out and Misa could use them to find Light without needing to resort to her eyes. I was only praying that I wasn't exposed.

The teachers noticed I was not sleeping well or relaxing. Most wouldn't care about the sleep issue but the psychology teacher picked up on the none relaxing when we were supposed to be relaxed such as yoga or meditation before one her tests. "Even L can't function properly if he's stressed to the point you are" the teacher said. I searched for a lie or excuse.

"promise you won't tell anyone?"

"I promise what you say will not be recorded or passed along unless there is a reason to" she said giving me tea.

"I-Its Mello" I said figuring I could at least get one truth off my chest. "I-I like him a lot he stirs umm yearnings and when we spar it makes my heart race and my stomach flutter" She smiled. "tell him how you feel the worst he can do is say no" She said I didn't feel like correcting her. After all what could be worse then him saying no and dying? she looked at me seriously. "I'm going to make this your homework ok normally we don't encourage relationships but I can see it you two are good for each other. " I blushed at such words. She was pretty much the councilor of the place so those words was not mere flattery. The fact she made it homework shown how much she believed it.

It was May now. I had till December fifth. However i knew that she'd dock points from me or tell him my feelings if I didn't today or tomorrow before her class. Still it had me really worried. I could not go about the day as normal. In fact that whole day afterwards I could not stop watching him. Finally he got sick of it and said to me "if you got something to me say it. " I nodded. I then went to him and whispered in his ear to ask to speak with him privately. He nodded and took me to a private place behind the book shelves.

"Now what do you want to say to me?" he asked looking in my eyes before taking a bite of his chocolate bar. I was falling into those eyes. I took a deep breath and took the plunge.

"I like you alot I mean more than as a friend or a best friend I want.."

"to be your girlfriend" he said finishing before cracking the chocolate bar which had my heart racing and I nodded.

"I will" I looked at him looking for lies. There were none.

"to be honest our touches made me realize I like you a lot I think I can balance both if you can balance both" he said which lifted a weight off my chest. Even if Light was on my ass, at least I was with Mello. We didn't kiss or hold hands that day but something in the way we walked together told others that we were together. Maybe there was something more at work here.
