chapter 15
Disclaimer: I do not own death note
I don't know if I ever mentioned it or if it will be important, but Meg is 23 and she is learning to be a doctor. And her friends mentioned in this chapter are OC's I created for different story that I will write after I finish this one, but for now they're just random unimportant characters.
It had been about a week since Vanilla and Ryuzaki had started their argument. The rest of the task force had no clue what they were arguing about. Ryuzaki had said "she's acting like a child" to which she replied "He's acting like an idiot". Vanilla refused to tell the rest of the task force anything about their argument in fear that someone else might think she's crazy.
Light had come to them and asked that Ryuzaki lock him up and not let him go until he was sure he wasn't Kira. Vanilla had said that Light was probably gonna have a shinigami erase his memory just like Misa had done, which caused Ryuzaki to get angry again and say shinigami aren't real. She wasn't really sure why he was getting so mad, but she was getting frustrated that he wouldn't listen to anything she said. She had eventually stormed out of the hotel they were currently using as headquarters and gone back to her apartment.
She was currently pouting and hanging upside down off the couch with her arms crossed. Her phone buzzed next to her and she glared at it. 'It better not be L' she thought as she grabbed the phone. She flipped it open and answered.
"hello?"
"hi Val!"
"Meg!"
"I know this is kinda short notice but do you want to come to a party tonight at 7?" Vanilla looked at the clock she had on her wall. '6:13, I think I have time. I need to get my mind off stuff anyway'
"Ok, where is it?"
~time skip~
Vanilla and Meg sat at a table outside the large house. Two of Meg's collage friends, twin sisters Carly and Harley, had decided to throw a party at their house. There was music playing inside and some people were dancing but the majority of the people there were outside, either swimming, eating, or just hanging out. Vanilla and Meg were sitting with three of Meg's friends.
Elliot, who looked to be about 19 or 20. He was tall and his hair was blue with the ends dyed black, in a faux hawk style. he had dark blue eyes and pale skin. He wore a black t-shirt and some dark blue skinny jeans.
Eric, who was 20, he was kind of shy but still seemed to be enjoying himself. He had messy blonde hair and light blue eyes and tanned skin. he wore a red button up shirt and some light brown shorts.
and Vanda, she was 22, she had long brown hair pulled into back two braids and her right eye was covered by her bangs. She had black glasses and her dark green eyes looked bored as she stared into space. She wore a dark purple hoodie and had a black skirt that reached almost to her knees.
Meg was wearing a dark green dress that reached just past her knees, and her chestnut brown hair was up in a ponytail.
Vanilla had her hair down and she was wearing a simple orange dress.
"-so what about you Valarie-chan?" Meg asked.
"what? sorry I wasn't listening..."
"Do you have a boyfriend?"
"no..." She felt her face heat up in embarrassment and she looked away.
"oh, Then is there someone you like?"
"umm..." She pictured Ryuzaki but pushed the thought out of her mind. 'what am I thinking? I hate L, he's annoying and rude and refuses to even consider what I try to tell him'
"come on there's got to be someone"
"no. there's not" Vanilla almost growled. 'I need to change topic but what to...'
"Val-"
"Have you played that new horror game that just came out?" Vanilla held her breath hoping that would work. Meg looked at her for a minute and opened her mouth to say something but was interrupted by Vanda.
"oh yeah! that game is awesome! the story is really good to" Meg looked away and Vanilla sighed in relief
'that was close'
After a while Vanilla stood up. "I think I should head home, I have some stuff I need to do. see you later" She started to leave.
"hey Val! do you need a ride home?" Meg called after her. Vanilla stopped for a moment.
"uh, sure, if you don't mind..."
"oh, Don't worry Val, it's no problem!" Meg turned to her friends. "I'll see you guys later!" she said as she waved.
"Bye!"
"see ya later Meg"
"Bye-Bye Meggy!" Meg turned around stuck her tongue out at Elliot at the nickname. He just smirked. The ride in the car was mostly silent, until just a few minutes before they reached the apartment.
"so, who do you have a crush on?" Vanilla turned toward Meg with a shocked look on her face.
"Really? that again? I already answered you earlier, no one"
"I don't believe you"
"Meg-"
"Come on Val. I won't tell" Vanilla turned and looked out of the window, mumbling under her breath. "what was that?"
"why do you want to know so bad"
"Why are you so sure that you can avoid it" Meg smirked. "I'm gonna find out one way or another. Maybe I'll find your diary"
"a diary? really? that's stupid. I don't have one, and even if I did you wouldn't find anything in it and even more likely, you wouldn't even find the diary in the first place even if I did have one" Vanilla said, crossing her arms. Meg pouted.
"I hate how true that is, you could hide an elephant from the best detectives in the world if you wanted to and they would never find it. But doesn't matter, I'll figure it out" Vanilla sighed as Meg parked the car outside of her apartment.
"sometimes I wonder why we are friends, We're both so different." Vanilla mumbled.
"eh, I dunno either. But I don't think we're really opposites, maybe it's just universe magic" Vanilla raised an eyebrow.
"universe magic?"
"you never know"
"yeah, I guess..." Vanilla yawned. "well, see you later Meg" she got out of the car.
"see ya later Val!"
