Professor Lawliet's Classroom
Class had ended, and Misa and Mika shuffled out of the room. They chattered quickly and nervously with each other, looking over their shoulders every half of a minute. They snaked their ways through the fifteen-thousand students that were switching classes, and eventually made it safely to their dorm room. Misa flung herself backwards onto her bed and sighed.
"I think there is no worry," she said, as she stretched her arms behind her. "Oh!" She suddenly remembered, "Why don't you check our account to see how much money we got? There should be enough to buy all of Juicy Couture's hottest new line."
"Sure thing!" Mika bounced happily over to the computer, and opened up . Her eyes were transfixed onto the screen, and she put a hand over her gaping hole of a mouth. Misa heard her friend make a slight gasping noise, and sprung up from her position on the bed.
"What's wrong?"
"Well, it looks like you only send that video to the freshman class...not the whole school! But it's still unbelievable. It really is!"
"What? What is?" she pestered, "Spit it out!" She felt her stomach do somersaults.
"We have…one THOUSAND five hundred dollars!" Mika squealed and her body shook in sheer delight.
"Oh, sweet goodness!" Misa shouted. "That means…approximately…oh wait, let me get a calculator." She grabbed the nearest calculator and punched in "3000 divided by 10." A sweep of understanding passed through her face.
"That means half of the freshman class bought the video!" She screamed. Mika screamed. They continued to scream, hold hands, and dance around room in celebration.
"Way to show Professor Lawliet and that Light Yagami boy, Misa!" Mika said to her friend, who she was looking upon as if she were a sacred deity.
"Well, you know. I am smarter than I look," Misa said, in conceit.
Light and Mikami's Dorm
"I…just can't comprehend that…that dim-witted blonde Misa Amane would have the chops to stage such a skillful operation." Mikami sat on his bed, his hands massaging his temples in contemplation. Light was sitting next to him. Light had told him about the whole fiasco, and had asked Mikami to help him out with the case.
"You do realize I am not a certified attorney yet, right?"
"They won't ask, believe me," Light assured his friend and rambled, "Besides, I didn't want to take this to federal court. I want to really stick it to the Dean. He's a huge douchebag. The case will be under school legislation." It was silent for several moments.
Mikami caved. "Uh, alright. I'll do it, but only because it's you. I hate to see you suffer through anything." Mikami rubbed Light's back in a fatherly manner.
"Thanks Mikami, I knew I could count on you." Light smiled and gave Mikami a tight embrace.
Misa and Mika's dorm
The two girls spent their day in their room, looking on various e-shopping websites and placing expensive items in their virtual shopping carts.
"That's cute. Oh, that's adorable. Now, that's just divine!" Mika would shout as Misa asked her opinion on certain clothing and jewelry. Mika would never dare to say anything negative about her friend's interests.
During their shopping spree, there was a loud and forceful knock on the door. The two girls froze, and Misa immediately shut off her computer.
"Oh my god, who is that?" Mika whispered. Her voice projected fear. "What if we're in big trouble? We are trapped in this stupid box of a room!"
There was another powerful knock and an unfamiliar woman's voice said, "Open up, we know you are in there."
"Just answer the door, Mika! Maybe it's not what we think…" Misa said in a high-pitched voice, trying to be calm, but her voice gave it away.
Mika tiptoed to the door in fear and turned the lock and knob. The door shot open, just grazing Mika's body.
Misa gasped aloud at the sight and put a hand to her chest while Mika just stood there, dumbfounded. The Dean's assistant stood in the middle of two tall, muscular security guards who were wearing sunglasses and a snarl on their faces. The Dean's assistant looked very much out of place in her bright, flowery dress. She also looked annoyed.
"Misa Amane, you have been prosecuted by student Light Yagami for unauthorized video-taping. You must appear in front of the University's court system at this very time," the Dean's assistant said hastily, trying to get this over with as fast as possible. It was obvious she hated her job. Mika began to cry, but Misa smacked her upside the head.
"What unauthorized videotaping?" Misa said, playing dumb, something she usually did well. This time it hadn't worked.
The Dean's assistant rolled her eyes and simply said, "Boys." On cue, one security guard grabbed Misa's arm, while the other grabbed Mika's.
"No! You can't do this to me! I am a lady! A lady! I need a lawyer! A lawyer!" Mika screamed, as the security guard was hassled to steady her. She was crying and thrashing.
Misa shouted, "Hey! Watch the hair" as the security guard who apprehended her dragged her away.
The University's Court Hall
The room was ornate, and spacious. It was pristine because of the very few times it had been used. The ceiling was a replica of the Sistine Chapel's ceiling, and two grand pillars stood tall beside the judge's desk. The University prided itself on its wealth and presentation, so this setting was quite appropriate.
Light, Professor Lawliet, and Mikami sat at the left side of the judge's desk, while The Dean, Misa and Mika sat to the right. Mikami and the Dean were the ones who had to truly battle it out, because of their knowledge of the law. Light held Lawliet's hand, whispered into his ear, then they gave each other a quick peck on the lips. Then, they would both look over at Misa, Mika, and the Dean in contempt every several moments. Misa and Mika would always look like they were about to cry
Mikami stood up, brushed off his black suit, and adjusted his glasses that were crooked on his nose. In response, the Dean stood up, struggling because of his large body mass, and cleared his throat. They were now facing each other in front of the judge's desk.
Soon Mikami launched into a rant about, "the rights of privacy, criminal offenses about unauthorized surveillance, Light being of legal age, and discrimination toward gay teachers and students in colleges." The judge had been writing notes down, and then nodded at the Dean to shed his light on the case.
The Dean, in rebuttal, began his rant about the University's, "rule against student-teacher relationships of a sexual manner." He did not have much else to go on about. Uncertainty was present in his voice.
"Miss Amane, our very own security guards," he motioned to the security guards standing beside his desk, "have checked your room for evidence and it seems that you forgot to delete your browsing history on your computer." Misa cringed as the judge continued, "We have discovered that you have indeed profited from the unauthorized distribution of a private event involving Mr. Yagami and Professor Lawliet. Therefore, this evidence, along with Mikami Teru's detailed rebuke against The Dean, Misa Amane, and Mika Kashuma for their wrongs, has led me to believe that the defendant is in fact guilty."
"No!" Mika cried out. Misa sat in silence.
"But…who is going to be my top donator? We need new computers for our lab!" The Dean sobbed, looking at Misa as if he had lost something so very precious to him. Misa Amane' s family was very wealthy, and her parents were legacies at the University. If she was expelled, a large portion of the University's revenue would be eradicated.
The judge ignored Mika and the Dean's comments, and continued his official speech, "I hereby order Miss Misa Amane and Miss Mika Kashuma to be expelled from this University for their criminal intent." Mika's face was scrunched in result of pain, but Misa was still complacent.
"You girls are lucky we are not in federal court, because they would have been much more strict." He wagged a finger at the girls. "And as for you, Dean Whitman, you will be fined for discrimination. This will certainly not look good for the University." The Dean pulled on his gray hair in anger. "The case is now dismissed." He hit his gavel onto the desk.
"Can I please say something?" Misa asked hastily, before the Dean could yelled obscenities to the judge.
"It won't matter now, but be my guest." The judge said, feeling satisfied that the case was over.
Misa walked over to her enemy's desk, and stared at Professor Lawliet directly in the eye.
"Professor Lawliet, you know, I only did this because I had great feelings of love for you. I was angry, and acted out. I'm…sorry." Now she began to cry.
"Bullshit!" Light slammed his hands on the desk. Mikami held on to the back of Light's shirt, pulling him to sit down and relax.
"But, I love Professor Lawliet!" Misa exclaimed, and dropped to her knees in defeat.
"Excuse me?" Professor Lawliet slowly raised an eyebrow. He was genuinely shocked.
"You…whore." Light spat. He wasn't standing, because Mikami coaxed him to sit. If not for his friend, he would have gone and given Misa a piece of his mind.
Mika spoke up for her crushed friend, "HOW DARE YOU CALL HER A WHORE! THAT'S MY BEST FRIEND YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT!" This was all yelled as she was punching the air, but the Dean was holding her back from attacking.
"Bite me," Light said brusquely.
"Children's play. Just, absolute children's play…" The Dean said, mumbling. He let go of Mika and stormed out of the room. It was obvious he went to go mope in his office.
"Well done, boys." The judge said as he gathered his papers, and shuffled out of the large hall. The security guards followed.
"That's enough." Lawliet said, holding his hand in the air. He looked mentally fatigued, but still knelt next to Misa. "Miss Amane, is that really what this was all about? Your having feelings for me? That strange question you asked in class about Rosencrantz and Guildenstern must have been you showing us that you were furious at Light and I for being together. How you knew of our relationship, is beyond me."
Misa sniffed and said, "I wanted to take you to a party, Professor Lawliet. You know, so we could be boyfriend and girlfriend and stuff. And, Light is so mean! You should have seen how he broke up with me. I was very, very angry!" She didn't mention the portion of the story about gaining money at Professor Lawliet's and Light's expense.
Lawliet looked at Light, and Light just shrugged in pseudo-innocence.
Mika ran over to Misa and put an arm around her neck. They stood up simultaneously. Misa pushed her away, and walked over to Light. Light, brooding, stood staring down at her. They looked into each others' eyes.
"Light…" Misa said softly. Light folded his arms and waited for her to continue. "I…would like to say two things to you and two things only." He tapped his foot.
The words came flying out of her mouth like sharp daggers.
"Fuck. You."
Mika was taken aback by her friend's obscenity because she had never heard her curse before. Light could have punched her square in the face, but he let her have her shining moment. She wasn't done releasing her new-found rage.
"And Professor Lawliet." She walked back to where he was still kneeling on the ground. "As cute as you are, you were a boring teacher. I guess you'll never know the power of the pussy. I hope you are happy!" Professor Lawliet's mouth was agape at Misa's uncharacteristic words.
At this point, She pivoted, grabbed Mika by the arm, and pulled her friend out of the door. She went on her way to pack her bags and head out of the University for good.
The three men were left behind, and stared intently at the place that Misa and Mika had just disappeared from.
"Well..we did it!" Mikami said, his pride seeping through. A much more happy mood was set.
"Thank you so much, Mikami. You know, you're a great friend." Light smiled at his friend, while his friend bowed his head in acceptance.
"Who knew Miss Amane was absolutely mad. I'm so glad that it's over." Lawliet pondered the aftermath for a moment, "I certainly hope my students don't make too much of a deal over this."
"Who cares what they think. I don't know why we ever hid our relationship in the first place," Light said diplomatically. "The world now knows about us, even though it was by force, so we don't have to hide anything." He pulled Lawliet toward his body, grabbing his buttocks, and proceeded to ravage his face with kisses. Lawliet put his hands underneath Light's shirt and felt up his long torso.
"Hellooo? I'm still here." Mikami waved a hand frantically. The two lovers stopped their movement, and pulled away from each other, staring at Mikami. Mikami had a look of irritation on his face. Light and Lawliet burst out laughing at his face. Mikami eventually joined in.

Well, that's the conclusion of this story, "I've Been Schooled."
I had a good time writing this, and I hope you had a good time reading it! ~
I might do an aftermath chapter for this story. ^^
But for now, that's all.
Peace, m'dears.
P.S.: I'm not much of an expert on the court of law, so I apologize for the inaccuracies. x)
