Hey everyone sorry I haven't updated in centuries, my laptop was stuffing up and I'm super lazy and I understand if you hate me, I should be updating again soon and hopefully this make up for everything
“Hey everyone!” I yelled running out of my room dodging the everything that had been dumped on the floor and into one of the rooms which is our official play room now “Everyone!” I shouted again but louder so they would pay attention
“What is it Ren?” Max asked using the nickname I had made up 6 years ago. Max was a 4 year old boy and he was insanely good at chemistry, seriously I have no idea where he first learnt all this crap, but honestly I’m just super grateful he’s not allowed to do experiments yet.
“well I know L’s coming back and you all want to show him how smart you are and you know this isn’t my decision, I think this is stupid we have t-“ I began but was silenced quickly by everyone in the room, just wanting me to get to the point “Room inspections are in a 20 minutes!”
Everyone raced out of the play room rushing quickly to go and clean their rooms, or well nearly everyone. Only one boy was left, the one who would never mess up their room, the boy with the white hair and pyjamas “hey Nate” I smiled walking over to him, over the past 6 years Near has become just like a little brother.
“Hi Soren” He replied looking up at me. When none of the other kids were around me, Near, Mello and Matt just called each other by our real names, I liked it that way it made us feel closer and also it was like talking to each other as real people “Are you nervous?”
“What? No why would I be” I replied with a fake smile, it was pretty pointless though I don’t even know why I tried lying. I looked up at Near he gave me a bored look “well yeah of course I am it’s been 6 years and the times he has dropped in for a couple days we don’t even look at each other”
“Why?” Near asked confused, oh gosh this is exactly why I needed a girl around here or a girl my age so we could talk about this stuff, although she could be super smart about everything but this.
“I don’t know, that’s just the way it is, I suppose” I smiled getting up off the ground and walking towards the door. I turned around and gave a quick wave “I’ll talk to you later Nate”
I walked down the long hall dodging kids with brooms, I laughed to myself quietly for really smart kids they should know how to clean up when they’re done. I walked all the way down the hall until I got to my room, it hadn’t changed much since I first came here only a few books I borrowed from the library. Which reminded me of something.
I quickly walked back through the hectic crowd all the way to the Watari’s office. Watari came home earlier then L did that’s usually how we know when L is coming back.
“Ah, Soren and what can I do with you?” The old man smiled from behind piles of paperwork, I shifted nervous.
“Um I was wondering if next time we go in to town I could um,” I started, looking down at me feet and back up to the man in front of me, curiosity filled his eyes “I was wondering if I could go along and buy some books”
“What do you need more books for” Watari questioned, yup he didn’t get it “We have books on everything we could possibly find”
“I-I’m not talking about those kind of books Watari, I wanted fictional novels, romantic ones” I stuttered, he smiled kindly at me and gave a quick nodded. I ran out of the room excited; now I know what you’re thinking, How on earth did someone in a house full of geniuses and learning, want a load of romantic fictional books?
Well I hadn’t really known much about them or what they were like, at first I thought they were just stupid books to entertain small minds, but one day when I was studying atoms on the internet and yes we do have internet here, I decided to do some different kind of research and I found a book online, and boom there you have it my new little obsessions. Perhaps I could be a writer and I could put small facts about science and other interesting facts, my books could be romantic and intellectual.
As soon as I got back to my room I grabbed a book and tried to start my own books, but only a few things stopped me: 1. I have no idea how to right a fictional book, I had done essays and written books plenty of times but there were all based on facts and discoveries, not something I just made up and 2. L had just arrived.
oooh he's back! are they going to talk? or just ignore each other? hmmmm ;)
