(A/N Yaay 8th chapter of the story! Whoooot! Whelp... Oh and by the way... I'm doing amother Death Note story about Beyond Birthday... Yay! Review!Pleasies? Yay! Well here ya go!)

I turned around to look at her. She seemed To be L's age. Tall and lanky, with red hair. Not like ginger, freckles, red, like red, red.

"So, have you?" she asked, looking impatient.

"No...?" I said, "I haven't seen him since yesterday..."

"He must be out on a case," she sighed.

"Case?" I asked, confused.

"Did you honestly think he still lived here? Didn't you think 'Oh he seems way too old to still be here!'. You do know... He is twenty years old!" She laughed, "I'm nineteen and legally, I'm allowed to be gone too! But I've decided I'm gong to stay."

"Oh! So is he the one trying to solve the Los Angeles-"

"The BB murder cases? Yep... It's just the matter of finding Beyond. We already know it's him. We just need to find him."

"What's the point of solving the case if you already know who it is?" I was so confused.

"Well, we aren't going to let a crazy serial killer roam around, are we?" she said, in a matter-of-fact tone.

"Cadence!" I heard Roger say.

"Yes, Roger?" she replied, angelically.

"Quit torturing the new child," he scolded.

Cadence rolled her eyes, and walked off to what I guessed was her room. I stood up, and walked up to my rom. Everybody was still there, and they were teasing Matt... I felt really bad for him. I walked in, and Leer automatically smiled. I rolled my eyes, and sat next to Matt, hoping he wouldn't blush. What was I talking about... If anyone would blush I would be me.

I smiled when he smiled at me. It made me feel happy inside, like a million little butterflies were in my stomach. I leaned my head on his shoulder and sighed.

"Oooh! Mercury is in looove!" Shady teased, laughing.

"And you just noticed this because...?" Leer said, with a raised eyebrow.

"A-am not!" I persisted, it wa no use. They would just believe themselves more.

"Whatever!" Mello chimed in, looking at Matt, who was smiling at him, acting like I wasn't anywhere near him.

I grinned upon seeing his goofy smile. Although I knwe he did that to make me laugh, that smile was adorable. Even though I loved his real smile better, Matt was-

"MERCURY!" Leer yelled, interrupting my thoughts, obviously being an attempt that was after the first.

"Huh? Oh, yeah?" I asked, dazed.

"Hah! You were daydreaming!" she teased.

I smiled, and waved her off. She was really an awesome friend, but sometimes, I wanted to kick her... While wearing cowboy boots...

(A/N the whole cowboy boots thing is an insider between me and my friend, who is Leer. well yeah, review as I said at the top...

Mello: go away..

Matt: don't say that!

Leer: MELLO!~3

Azza: since when are you so "eeeheeeheeee" Leer?

Leer: since I wanted to!

Azza: whatever...~)
