Plot: Pat & Ech
Raito lied slothfully on his bed. The droplets of water that had fallen from the tips of his hair made sporadic dark dots on his favorite brown blanket.
He glanced at the black book on his desk. Its physical appearance was anything but attractive. But the "death note" made with crisp white letters on its cover hinted that perhaps the book belonged to an emo kid who have nothing better to do than dozing the day off below a bridge. Raito stood up and reached for the book. The cover was smooth and firm; while the pages were still empty, except for the first page, which consisted of names, with a date and time next to them. He thought that maybe it was a movie timetable or an agenda that belonged to a kid who had bad taste.
He paused, then stared blankly at the filled page. The boy walked towards his school blazer and took a piece of paper from its pocket then back to the black book on his table. He didn't know why in the world was he going to 'copy' those girls who were 'following him around every day everywhere he goes' or as he preferred, stalking, into the book that he found just couple hours ago. Usually he would just throw those papers to the bin immediately as he got a chance.
The first name was his 'most favorite teacher in the whole world', Mrs. Karumi, who was mad about him, in a way that he would define as disgusting and forbidden for she was his teacher. She gave him her number and told him to call her as soon as possible to 'talk about an international science competition that you are going to join next week in Russia' or at least that what she claimed earlier that morning.
He lifted his pen, hand poised above the blank page. He shrugged carelessly and began writing the name, after all… what could possibly happen from writing a name of some weird notebook.
He closed the book with a snap when he heard his mother calling him for a bath, and he realized just how cold he was, with water dripping from his brown locks. He placed the book in his desk drawer and slid it close before he went downstairs to get some much-needed hot bath.

The next day as he woke up, he felt a shiver ran down his spine and sighed dejectedly.
"Another day… another horde of fan girls and flirty old hag to deal with…" He muttered irately as he shoved his poor abused books into his schoolbag. Obviously, Raito wasn't in the best of moods as he found out he had catch a light cold after yesterday's rain, healthy enough to go to school but sick enough to make him look like mister gloom and doom, well in his mind that was, but as her sister tapped him on his back when he was going downstairs and told him that his bangs which covered almost half of his brown husky eyes made him looked even hotter made him smiled a little and lighten his mood a bit.
He walked to school and entered the classroom silently, his scowl keeping most people away from him but those who were brave enough, or sometimes dumb enough, to talk to him was sorely ignored. For the girls, it even got worse. Bad luck for him, almost all girls in his school had the same thought as his sister.
As Raito put his first step on the room, he could see that not all students of his class have attended. However, yes, he knew what would happen soon – those termagants who were always ready to run, shout, hug him tight and kept screaming "oh my gosh! Raito-kun is here! He's so gorgeous!" Moreover, as they surrounded the genius boy. He did not want to suffer from the catastrophe anymore. Avoiding the worst aftermath, he walked silently to his desk, sitting nicely as a star student and read some of his English books. There was nothing interesting enough to read in the book, so he did this intentionally. Those girls would never know their idol was hiding something inside the book. Raito brought his "number-one-precious" book, "that" kind of book that every matured boy absolutely like. However, Raito-kun was just so popular, so no matter what happened, the girls still encircled him. Without waiting any longer, the girls started to ask unimportant questions. Well, for Raito-kun.
"Raito-kuuunn! You're so sweet today!" 'Just go to hell for all I care'
"Raito-sama, what did you have for breakfast today?" 'Do I look like I had breakfast?'
"I made some cookies yesterday, would you like a bite?" 'I hate sweets more than anything in this world'
"Raito-kun, will you tutor me?" 'There are more than ten A plus students in this class and why do you even bother to ask ME?'
All of this met with an annoyed scowl by Raito, to which the rest of the class was blissfully ignorant of. It was as clear as day that Raito was fed up, but apparently, his classmates were as blind as a bat could be. When they finally quieted down, Raito nearly sighed with relief, but it caught in his throat as he realized the only way they would shut up was if the teacher had arrived, and that 'bitchy old hag', as he so fondly put it, taught the first period, physics.
However, he was surprised to find, not the old hag, but Mr. Masashito, the young 'stupid rich' part-time physics teacher standing in front of the classroom. He idly heard some confused murmur among his classmates at the hag's absence, or the girls giggling when they saw the 'cutest part-time teacher''s pants zipper were slightly opened.
Mr. Masashito cleared his throat, and the students stopped talking to hear the announcement that was sure to come.
"I'm sorry to say, Mrs. Karumi or what she preffered herself to be called as kacchan is no longer with us…" He started gravely.
"Did she retire?" A student quipped from the back of the class.
"I wish that was the case, but Mrs. Karumi or Ka-chan, as she insisted to be called with, sensei died yesterday night from heart failure…" Mr. Masashito said as he shook his head in what was supposed to be a sad gesture, although it was clear to most of the staff member and quite a number of the students that he was never fond of Mrs. Karumi, as he had been on the end of her chase before Raito started school there. Raito was sure he heard a bit of relief from his teacher's voice. "Until we find a new teacher, Ms. Midori will be filling in for her."
At this a loud cheer erupted around the classroom, a woman in about her early 20s with a dark purple teacher uniform enter the room and caused the loud cheer changed into the boy's whistles and the girl's whispers.
Nobody had noticed the sudden changes in the brown haired straight A student who sat near the window's face. The bored look had changed into a devious smirk that was hidden behind the innocent cold smile of him.
