I own nothing, except for Anya/Anira. I do not own Death Note
****Two weeks later****
I yawned and walked out of my room. I was dressed in simple blue jeans and a violet t-shirt. These past few weeks. Well, where to start.
B doesn't scare as much as he did, but he keeps looking above my head at something. Then there's L. We have barely spoken and frankly, he's more than a little odd. No more odd than B, but at least B has social skills. I shook my head and headed sown the hallway. I smiled. I felt like today was going to me a good day.
Moments later I crashed into something. I looked up and saw L. I flushed and stuttered out, "Oh L! I-I'm sorry, I didn't m-mean to!"
He lifted his hand. "It is alright, Anira. Do be more careful though." I felt my face get hotter.
I fumed slightly, I apologize and he scolds me! I ignored the angry feeling, and smile a tight smile. He looks at me blankly with his gray eyes. I bit my lip and said "Well, I really must be going to breakfast-"
He interrupts me, "I am heading to the cafeteria myself, I will join you." I grit my teeth. I guess he was going to come with me.
I nodded and began walking to the cafeteria. I looked at him and studied him. He was lean and gangly. He walked with a hunch and wore the same thing near every day. He always had this blank expression on his face.
I wondered if he even had emotions.
We walked along and soon reached the cafeteria. We stood in the line and when we reached the front, L grabbed as many sweets as he possibly could. I grabbed a simple plate of French toast.
I shook my head and walked off to a table. The table moved slightly and I looked up, expecting B. I was surprised to see L sitting in the space B would normally sit. I bit my lip. The amount of sweets on the table was ridiculous.
I blinked at him, then shrugged and began to eat my French toast. L and sweets was like B and jam. It made me nauseous just thinking about it. He held a strawberry between his thumb and index finger.
He looked up and our eyes met and I flushed. I had gotten caught staring.
"Hello Anira", he said," Are you alright? You are very red."
I nodded. "I am fine L. Than you for your concern." He nodded. I looked down and began to eat one more.
My fork slipped from my grasp and it fell to the floor. As I reached down, I noticed the scars that covered my hand and I winced at them. A reminder of what I had lost.
The worst one, a long gash that spread across my entire palm, had not healed fully yet. That particular cut was one of the few that had needed stitches.
I sat back up and was startled by the fact that L was leaning over the table and very close to my face.
"Uh L?" I spoke, "What are you doing?
"You spent an unnecessary amount of time retrieving your utensil and I was trying to observe why." He spoke blankly. He sat back into the odd position he sits in. I felt awkward, but L seemed perfectly comfortable.
I really needed to stop having awkward conversations with people in the cafeteria. I noticed I had finished my food.
"Um, I'll see you later L. I need to get to my first class. I can't be late for my first day."
Here at Wammy's we had classes and such. I started today because Watari wanted me to get settled in and be mostly healed before I started classes.
I picked up my plate and put it in a sink in the room. I rolled my shoulders as I walked away. I glanced behind me and saw L was looking at me. I smiled and waved. He just nodded at me.
"What a strange boy." I mumbled and shook my head.

I was lost, very lost. I walked down the halls of Wammy's and searched for my class. The class was on Greek mythology. I bit my lip. Dammit. Class started in two minutes. I sighed deeply.
I felt a tap on my shoulder and I jumped. I turned around and saw B.
"Jumpy are we?" He laughed. I glared at him. I could tell he enjoyed scaring me.
"Ass." I said in Russian. I stuck my tongue out at him.
"Are you lost?" I nod, "What do you have?"
"Greek mythology."
He grinned broadly, "So do I. Follow me."
I nod and follow him as he walks off. I looked at him and noticed he had jam on his face.
"Hey B, you have jam on your cheek." I pointed out. He rubbed his left cheek and I giggled, "No the other one." He got it off and I smiled.
He stopped abruptly and said, "Here we are." He opened the door, "Ladies first." I laughed and walked in. Less than ten seconds later, the bell rang. Class began.
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
I found the very interesting. I had a math class in twenty minutes. I rolled my shoulders and then ran into someone.
"You are making a habit of running into me." I looked up in horror and saw L. This was the second time today dammit!
I sighed, "I'm sorry L. I'll be more careful."
He looked at me and asked, "What do you have next?"
"Math, Geometry." He nodded.
"As do I. When class starts I shall accompany you, so you do not get lost again." He said bored. My eyes widened. How did he know I had gotten lost? Who had told him? As id sensing my question, he said, "I could tell when you left the cafeteria; you seemed hesitant to start walking."
He could read me very well. I needed to be more careful. I bit my lip.
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
The twenty minutes passed quickly and L and I walked to the class in silence. He opened the door for me and we walked in. The teacher began to talk, but I zoned out. Next thing I knew the ball had rung.
I had no classes with either L or B after that.
Classes ended at three. I stretched after my last class, Japanese. The class was extremely difficult. The different kanji and words and meaning confused me to no end. I hoped I would get the hang of it.
I walked back to my room, not running into anyone on my way there. I sat on my bed and pulled out my math homework.
I started working and finished it quickly. I sighed and got off my bed. I walked to the mirror.
I stared at this girl in the mirror. Pale skin, hazel-green eyes, blonde hair and scars. The girl had a scar on her right cheek. It was fresh still, a bright pink. She picks up her hands and stares at them. They were covered in the scars. She was ugly, broken, used.
I gasped and threw myself to the side, hitting the wall. I shook and held myself. The girl in the mirror was not me. Was it? I started to hyperventilate. The trembling got worse, and I couldn't breathe. I looked like that? How could anyone look at me? Tears poured out of my eyes.
I struggled to stand, the dizziness almost crippling. I stumbled to the bed. I sat on it and closed my eyes. I gripped the sheets and tried to control myself. I don't know how long I sat like that.
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
I looked at the clock after I had calmed down.4:30it read. I needed to stop this. I needed to get over this. But…I couldn't help but think of the mirror and the scars.
Suddenly I didn't feel hungry. I shook my head and moved my things off the bed. I needed a shower. I walked to the shared girl's bathroom.
I had gathered my bathroom stuff and was in the process of taking one. I spent nearly a half an hour in it. I stepped out and grabbed my towel and walked back to my room, careful to avoid anyone.
Back inside my room I dressed in my pajamas. I closed the curtains and walked to my bed. I snuggled into the covers and fell asleep.
Oooooooooooooooooooooo
Well? R&R. I hope you all enjoyed it!
