"Nyla?" My name floated in one ear and out the other. I groaned rolling over. "There we go! Get up!" I felt a nudge in my shoulder blades. My eyes shot open, as I scrambled to my feet. I blew my hair out of my eyes, staring at the waker.
"Hi, Janice..." I grumbled. She looked at me, a little saddness in her eyes, but shook her head.
"You are going to be late! So I suggest you stop being lazy, and get to school!" she snapped. I growled at her, ready to tell her off, when my phone buzzed in my pocket. I glared at her, before flipping the tiny piece of junk out of my pocket.
Girl where are you!? Class is going to start in five minutes!- Harley
"SHIT!" I pushed past Janice, grabbing my shoulder bag, throwing on an over shirt, and pulling on socks.
"Watch your mouth!" Janice clicked her tongue at me. I rolled my eyes at her, not having time to deal with her. I grabbed my phone, car keys, and sketch pad. I bolted up the stairs, out of the house, and jumped into my car. It was a 1970's convertable, and was a bitch to start up after it hasn't been in use for a while. Luckily today, the engine roared to life. I stepped on the gas, reversing out of the drive way, and speeding down the road. I didnt even know what class I had first period, but I'd find out soon enough.
The bell sounded for fifth period, which I was very much looking forward to going to. I had gym this class, and I was looking forward to it. I bolted from the english room, bounding down the hall. I stopped at my locker, tossing my bag and textbooks into it. I had a free period after gym, so I was just going to eat some food, and sketch, or maybe play some soccer.
"Well, look who it is ladies. Its the gorilla." I knew that voice all too well. I tightened my grip on my locker door, slamming it shut. "So medusa... petrify any boys yet?"
"No, cause unlike you, I'm not a slut," I turned her insult around on her. She frowned, taking a couple more steps towards me. "Oh whats the matter? Not good enough for your usual clients?" She took a swing at me, but I ducked quickly. "Where's the rest of your group hmm?"
"Actually learning something, unlike you, where all you learn is, oh wait. Nothing." She smirked at me.
"Ooooo. Good one. Your grandma give you that one?" I pushed past her, heading to the gym lockers. I was at my last straw, and now I was all pissed and pumped for gym. Hopefully there were some barbie sluts I could take my rage out on.
"Did you hear?" I past a couple of kids in the hallway gossiping about something big, but I didn't have time to listen to it.
"Yeah I did."
"Can you believe it?"
"No I can't! I can't believe something like that would happen to Mika." I stopped dead in my tracks at the mention of her name. I turned to the group of people gossiping. I glided over to them.
"What happened to Mika?" I asked, my voice wavering a little.
"She's not at school. Apparently soemthing big happened, she's gone missing. People are starting to think she's dead." My blood ran cold.
"W-why are people assuming that?"
"She was out partying last night, and got completley wasted. She could've passed out in a ditch somewhere, trying to get home." Panic was rising in me, bile rose in the back of my throat. I raced to the bathroom, holding my mouth. I ran into the nearest bathroom, ramming open the stall, hurling into the toliet. I puked out last night's food, the water I drank, even stomach acid. Lucky for me, there was nobody around to witness my up chuck. "People are starting to think she's dead! Mika! Mika! Mika!" I pinched the bridge of my nose, not caring that bile was sliding down the side of my face. Calm down Nyla. There's no way you're responsible for that! Shit like this happens all the time, right? I shook my head, burping, retasting the bile that just came spewing out of my mouth. I curled into a ball on the tiled floor, shaking like a leaf. It's not my fault. It's not my fault. It's not my fault. I kept thinking that to myself, but it just increased my anxiety.
I rubbed the vomit off my face with the back of my sweater. Just in time too, cause someone came into the bathroom.
"Hey, are you okay?" she asked. I looked up at her. Short, glasses, brown hair, zits everywhere, baggy clothing. I didn't recognize her.
"Look like I'm okay?" I pointed to my face. she wrinkled her nose at me.
"Too be honest, you smell quite foul." I chuckled, looking back at the toliet. I still hadn't flushed it.
"I'm going home. Don't use this toliet k?" I dragged my ass off the floor, slumping my way out of the bathroom. What have I done? I murdered someone! No, you don't know that for sure. Snap out of it! Wake up! I shook my head, feeling like I was going to crumble on the spot. I slumped my way downstairs, and out of the building. All I needed right now, was a hot shower, some tea, and my warm bed.
I headed to my car, fumbling around for my keys. When I reached the car, I dropped my keys on the ground. I groaned as I bent down to pick em up,
"I wasn't expecting a human like you to pick it up." I froze instantly. I didn't recognize this voice, and it didn't sound human. I slowly peered behind me. I collapsed on the ground, backing up against the car. Stood before me was a creature I've never seen before. Black hair spiked up, grey, darkish skin, red yellow bulging eyes, face pulled back against his bones, black clothing (at least thats what I thought), blue lips decorated like the Jokers from batman.
I almost screamed out right, but bit back my tongue.
"Wh- Who are you?" I huffed.
"Who do you think I'am? You should've been expecting me sooner or later," the creature cackled.
"No, I don't expect a disgusting, floating creature sooner or later," I spat.
"Heh, I like you."
"Is that supposed to be a good thing!?"
"Depends on how you look at it..." he cackled again.
"God stop doing that! It's freaking me out! Actually let me rephrase that! YOU freak me out!" He laughed again.
"So are you going to sit there and continue to freak out, or get into your car?"
"You still haven't answered my question! Who are you!"
"If I were you, I'd keep your voice down. Nobody else can see me, unless they too have touched the DeathNote."
"H-How do you know about that?" I asked a little quieter.
"Cause it's my book. I dropped two in the human world. You seem to have picked up the second one."
"Wait a minute. Second one. You mean someone else has the other?" A thought just hit me. "Kira..."
"Bingo. Now. Where are we going? How many names have you wrote down?" I shook my head, scraping myself off the pavement.
"Probably a park, or something." I hoped into my car, reving the engine. I rolled down the window, staring at the creature. "What are you?" He cackled for the third time. This time it didn't bother me so much.
"I 'am a Shinigami."
