Author Note: I'm sorry it said My Story on the second chapter, I'm still new to this so I'm still trying to figure out how to publish this. I think Deleo should name his/her dog Panda-Chan. It's cute and resembles Lawliet. I do not own Death Note. I only own my OC.

Today was finally the ceremony. Instead of going in formal wear, I just wore my dead dad's old gray hoodie and black leggings. The hoodie hung down to my knees and the sleeves went far beyond my hands. I was presently sitting in the second row, and guess who I'm sitting by. If you guessed twinkle-toes and panda-man, then you're wrong. I was sitting behind two girls who were constantly talking about how many guys they were going to date before graduation. I wasn't particularly interested in the ceremony, but I wanted to hear what the top students of the university were. The man started speaking and finally they went silent.

Guess who was the first person to be called for the top student of the university was. If you guess twinkle-toes, then you're right. The guy's name was Light Yagami. I wasn't all that surprised that he was the top student. He looked like he was built for success. Then, what really shocked me was the person who was called next. Panda-man. Probably a mad genius. I found out that his name was Hideki Ryuuga. I thought I heard that name before, but couldn't put my finger on it. One of the girls in front of me started talking about how he looked nothing like Hideki Ryuuga, the pop idol. So that's where I heard it from.

The next name called out for perfect scores is what shocked me the most. Me. "Alex Winters." the man called. I felt paralyzed. I slowly got up from my seat and walked to the stage. Light and Ryuuga stared at me as I walked up the stairs. We were technically in a line to say our speech. Light said his and it was about taking a new chapter in our lives. It felt like an ad commercial. Then Ryuuga was up and he practically said what Light said. I kind of zoned out on both of them due to my nervousness. I wasn't nervous to do a speech. I was nervous because I didn't have a speech. So I went with what I always go with when in this kind of situation. Wing it.

It was my turn to speak. "Uhh...I didn't really prepare a speech, so I guess I will make one up. Uh...If I can make top student, and believe me, that's saying something, then anything is possible. So, don't give up and follow your dreams or something." As I finished, I stopped and looked at everyone's faces. They looked confused and weirded out. Then I heard clapping and cheering. "It wasn't that great of a speech, but thank you all for your support." I say with my big head. I finally notice that they weren't cheering for me. They were cheering because teachers were pushing us off the stage. Hurtful.

I sat back down and took a glance at Light and Ryuuga, who were on the front row on the far, far left of me. Light looked worried and Ryuuga looked like he was studying Light's actions. Then they both went back to normal and looked forward after Light said something to Ryuuga.

The ceremony was over and I started heading home. My stupid self goes tripping over my own foot. I stumbled on someone, but they caught me. My face flushed red out of embarrassment. I straightened up only to see the person who caught me. It was Light Yagami. This day getting worse and worse. "Are you okay?" he asked with a concerned expression. He looked like he was acting. I don't trust him. "Yeah, I'm alright." I replied.

"Good." he says with relief. Good? What's good? WHAT'S GOOD?! Wait, quit being paranoid.

You are always paranoid.

Shut up!

"Hello, are you still there?" he asked with a grin. "Uhh, yeah, sorry, I spaced out and I'm sorry for stumbling into you." I apologized. "It's nothing. Wait, you're the other honor student, aren't you? Alex, was it? I'm Light Yagami." he said with confident. "Yeah, nice to meet you." I replied lamely. "Since we both are two out of three of the top students, we should get to know each other better."

I didn't know what to say because I didn't know him and he seemed off. One thing we could be talking and hanging out and the next thing you know, you are strapped to a chair, with a blindfold, and a gun to your head.

Quit being paranoid.

I can't help it.

I am not one for lying, but I would rather take it than being in that situation. "Yeah, but not today; I'm busy, but maybe some other time." I hated myself for that. "Sure." he agreed. Then we went our separate ways. Before I started home, I glanced back to see Light talking to Ryuuga. They must know each other. Ryuuga then stepped into a fancy car as they said their goodbyes. (I don't know what kind of car L rides in, so I just said fancy car.) I gawked at the car. Mad genius must be rich. Must be good.

On my way home, I witnessed a strange man. I was just a block from my apartment and a man just stood in the road. I stopped quickly on the sidewalk. He was pale in the face and was just staring at a building. It was an apartment to be in fact. I ran to him and noticed three strange things about him. He looked like he hasn't showered in a while, he had a bottle of alcohol in his hand, and he had a blank expression. "Are you okay?" I asked him.

"I killed my wife in this apartment." That was all he said until it happened. A heart attack. He fell on the ground and before I could help, a man ran to him and tried to help. I don't know where this other man came from. It was just out of the blue. I guess he was listening in on our conversation behind me or something. In just a matter of seconds the man on the ground was dead. I asked the random man if he knew his name. The man told me his name was Ando Junji. He continued on that they had been neighbors for years.

The man then picked up the phone and called the police. I got the book out of my bag quickly and wrote the Ando Junji in it and the minor details. As soon as the police showed up, I left. I didn't want to be questioned by the police. Once I got home, I just sat there. I couldn't stop thinking about what just had occurred. I witnessed a Kira killing.
