Just Another Day In My Ordinary, Average, Boring Teenage Life
Chapter Three
A/N: A bit of language in this chapter, so if you don't like then don't read. I've warned you.
Homeroom went by quickly, they all received their new timetables. There was much talk about the class now as teenagers ran over to their friends seeing if they were in the same classes.
"H-hi Light!" mumbled Amber, a cute brunette girl. Light turned his attention from whatever he was looking at outside to her.
"Hi Amber" he replied turning on the charm.
"I-I was wondering what classes you, um have," she answered shyly.
Light smiled and handed her his timetable.
"Oh wow! Your in all the top classes, well I shouldn't be surprised you're so smart".
He smiled at her "Thanks".
""Oh your in my PE class!" she blurted out excitedly.
"I guess we'll have fun in PE together then," he replied still smiling.
"O-Oh Yes!" she replied blushing.
"Amber!" called one of her friends.
"I suppose I should go. See you in PE Light," she mumbled, handing his timetable back to him, before joining her friends.
Once she was gone Light sighed and slid down in his chair. "Ugh annoying girl," he mumbled to himself.
"You really think so?" a voice asked.
Light looked up to see L standing besides him. "Some would say you're lucky having all the girls wanting to see if your in their classes". Light looked at him and smiled.
"Sounds like someone's jealous".
"I do not understand what you're trying to imply here Light but I can assure you whatever it is, it isn't true," he replied bluntly.
Light gave him a smug smile "Who said I was trying to imply anything?"
L sighed "Let me see your timetable".
Light handed L his timetable, he considered it carefully.
"You know Ryuzaki you're the first guy who's asked to see my timetable," mumbled Light in a teasing tone.
L ignored his comment and placed the timetable back on his desk. "Your in all of my classes except for PE, History and English".
The bell rang and teenagers started making their way towards their classes. "what's first?" asked Light. "Geography," answered L, and with that the two of them made their way towards their first class.

The day had gone by quickly and it was finally last period. Light and L both had extension Math together.
They made their way into the classroom. Their class was small, made up of around fourteen students. L and Light took a seat in the back corner of the room. Light looked around him he didn't know a single kid here. A weird guy with glasses, and really bad acne came up to them. Light cringed at the sight of him.
"Hey!" he waved.
Light was shocked he had no idea who this guy was, he had never spoken to him, and probably never would.
"What should I do? Should I respond? But he's a complete freak I mean look how high his pants are!" he thought.
Just as Light decided to wave back L spoke besides him.
"Hi there Lester," greeted L with a smile.
"Wait a second! Is he smiling? L smiling, no way. But he is! How can L be smiling, L doesn't do smiling!" thought Light in shock. The two talked for a few moments then the teacher came in. Lester waved goodbye and walked back over to another nerdy looking guy.
"Alright please do the exercise on page 264 as a warm up, I'll give you twenty minuets," said the teacher.
Light opened up his textbook and began writing. He paused and looked over to L, who was also writing.
"L," he mumbled.
L looked up at him "Yes Light?" he asked.
"Who was that guy?"
"That was Lester, he's one of my friends," replied L as he continued to write.
"One of your….friends?" said Light with a look of disbelief. "But he's so…so…"
"Weird," answered L. "Nerdy, ugly, such a dork. Light not everyone is attractive and brain dead such as yourself and Misa". A flash of anger ran through L's eyes.
Light's mouth hung open. Where had that come from? Had L just gotten angry? Light closed his mouth and pulled himself together.
"Calm down," he told himself.
"I didn't say that L," replied Light.
"No talking!" snapped the teacher.
Light hung his head and began writing some more.
"No you didn't but I could tell that you were implying it," answered L, annoyance hung in his tone.
"Okay then so maybe it was what I was thinking, but it's just so hard to believe that someone like you, who hangs out with Misa and me is friends with…that guy," mumbled Light.
L sighed. "Light in my honest opinion Misa and yourself are nice, and I like you both. But your not my only friends and in all honest opinion I'm glade that your not".
Light frowned. "What don't you like me or something?"
"No it's just your type is so, how do I put it? Bitchy".
Light paused he gritted his teeth.
"Not trying to offend you but if someone has a flaw you blow it right out of proportion and look past everything else that makes up that person".
"And your point is?" asked Light irritated.
"My point is that Lester and my other nerdy friends are, well nice. They may not be 'hot' as you put it but they are good people," answered L he looked at Light.
Light looked at him through his bangs. His face had a considerate look on it. His dark eyes looking over Light like he was about to crack. How Light couldn't stand those eyes, he always felt like they could look right through him. Yet at the same time he was drawn to them.
Light sighed "I see what your saying Ryuzaki, maybe you should introduce me to these…friends of yours one day," Light smiled at him.
L nodded and then got back to his work. The two sat in silence for a few minuets before Light turned back to L. "Hey Ryuzaki?" he asked.
"Yes Light," answered L impatiently.
"I didn't know you thought I was attractive".

The end of the day bell rang and Matt bursted out of Geography. Forty Minuets with Mrs. Helldon as your teacher could possibly give you permanent eye damage.
Matt stuffed his books into his bag relieved to be going home. Mello walked up behind him and slapped him on the back.
"You were outta' there pretty quick today," he said, one of his arms hang loosely around Matt's shoulders.
"Dude if I had to stare at her in that tight skirt any longer I think I woulda' puked," replied Matt.
"Yeah she should really lay of those muffin bars ehy?" laughed Mello.
"Totally," agreed Matt.
"I bet when she's at the beach the lifeguards confuse her with a whale," he laughed.
"Aww Matt I don't even wanna' picture her at the beach, damm what'd ya' think she wears cause I sure hope to God that it's not a bikini," replied Mello.
" I think in her situation it's illegal to wear a bikini in public. There are young children around ya' know".
The two laughed as they walked to Matt's locker. Mello took his arm off of Matt's shoulders and let him put his books in the locker.
"Don't you have homework?" he asked.
"Yeah," replied Matt.
"Well I think it'd make more sense you take those books home Matty," added Mello.
"Well I have homework but like hell would I do it," answered Matt putting the last book in.
Mello shook his head "Your gonna' flunk out".
"Mah I might flunk out from failing grades but at least I'm not gonna' be expelled for violent behavior," added Matt tauntingly.
"Whatever," sighed Mello. "I haven't hit anyone yet".
"Yet," repeated Matt.
"Wanna' come over this avo?" asked Matt.
"Emily won't mind?"
"Nah she doesn't care as long as your not a girl right?"
Mello hit Matt on the arm. "I'm not a girl asshole!" he replied angrily.
"I know I just love taunting you," replied Matt.
"Sure then I'll just give mum a call to let er' know". The two walked down the main hallway towards the student car park.
* * *
Matt sat in his car with his feet up on the dashboard. He lit a cigarette and began smoking it. Mello stood outside of the car leaning against the boot. He tapped his fingers impatiently against the boot, as he waited for someone to pick up the phone at his house.
"Hello," answered his mother.
"Hey it's me I'm going to Matt's for a while kay?"
"Alright Mello just be home before eleven this time okay?"
Mello sighed "Yes mum," and with that he hung up.
Mello climbed into the car.
"She said yes but I have to be home before eleven".
"Do you want me to drive you?" asked Matt.
"Nah it's ok I'll walk, it's only fifteen minuets down the road".
With that Matt removed his feet from the dash and reversed out of the student car park. He turned up the radio, at the moment a song by Eminem was playing. Mello glared at the radio and changed the station.
"I was listening to that," mumbled Matt, as he pulled out in front of a school bus, receiving a long honk from the drivers horn. He just threw a rude gesture out of his window.
"Yeah well I don't like that rapping shit," replied Mello.
"Yeah well that's guys a legend he's been through so much shit in his life yet he still has the guts to come out and sing about it," argued Matt.
"He doesn't sing Matt, he just babbles on".
Matt sighed and blew out a cloud of cigarette smoke. Mello coughed and glared at him.
"Can't you put that thing out!" he yelled.
"My car, my rules," replied Matt taking a long drag. Mello continued to glare at him, his blue eyes burning into Matt.
"Well I'm trying not die of lung cancer," retorted Mello rudely.
"You don't like it then get out and walk". Matt was being unusually stubborn today.
"Emily probably found out," thought Mello.
You see Emily (Matt's mother) didn't like Matt smoking and when she first found out she grounded him, and wouldn't talk to him for the next week. He had started when he was young, about fourteen. She found out only early this year when he was eighteen. Matt wasn't allowed to smoke in the house or near the house.
Emily was trying to get him to quite, but from what Mello could tell it wasn't working.
"Emily doesn't like you doing it," mumbled Mello.
"Yeah, but it's none of her business she should keep her nose outta' other peoples shit," replied Matt angrily.
Mello glared at him. "Are you outta' your fucking mind!" he yelled. "She cares about you so much and you don't give a fuck! Can't you see you're hurting her by smoking that shit! Fuck Matt I can't stand seeing you do it either".
"Yeah well it's none of your fucking business now is it Mello!" Matt yelled back the car swerved a bit.
"I'm fucking pissed of okay, he came home the other day that stupid bastard. He didn't bring jack shit in money, not even a toy for Lizzy! He just thinks he can turn up whenever he fucking well wants to, I hate him Mello and I hope he burns in hell!" yelled Matt, his knuckles were going white from how tight he was gripping the steering wheel.
Mello sighed. "So that's why he's been all tense lately, no wonder I hit a nerve," he though.
"Hey calm down, don't worry he'll get his. He is a bastard and he deserves every bit of shitty luck he get's, and besides Emily will be fine as long as your there for her". Matt sighed. "Your right, I would move out but I can't leave er' by herself. She has too much trouble with work and taking car of Lizzy". The car now stopped in front of a house. "Anyways she'll be happy to see you. You haven't come around in a while," he added with a smile. The two got their things and started walking towards the house.
