Death Note

Chapter 1

Lauren woke up, and saw her butler, Bob, standing there. "Miss Jones," he said, raising an eyebrow. "Breakfast is ready."

Lauren sat up. "What time is it?" she asked respectfully. "6:45, miss." Bob answered simply.

"What?" she sighed. "In Newfoundland, I woke up at 7...." she sighed. "Could you bring my breakfast up to me?" She asked. "Please?"

Bob didn't answer right away. He didn't say anything, as a matter of fact. He just walked over to her wall silently, and pressed the buzzer. "Bring Lauren's breakfast up to her room," he said. "I'll be right there!" Housekeeper Megan replied.

Bob looked at Lauren. "Do you miss home?" he asked. He went on. "I wish I was able to go to Canada, but I am happy to live in the U.S." He looked... Odd. Like he had just seen a ghost. Lauren looked around. He was staring at something, but she couldn't out what!

Housekeeper Megan walked in, holding a dish of toast, bacon, and pancakes, with an apple for dessert. Her drink was a glass of water. Housekeeper Megan set the food and water on her headboard. "Eat what you like," she smiled. She walked out of the room, followed by Bob.

Lauren suddenly didn't have an appetite. "Eat what you like..." the Housekeeper had said. Lauren knew what that meant - she wouldn't have to eat anything!

She had gotten in trouble that morning for not eating breakfast. She stepped out of her black limo, with her school bag on her back. First day of High School - In the United States, at least. She looked around, at the students walking inside. This school was called Rose Thorn Academy. She walked inside, and looked around at the kids. "Cliques," she muttered.

She suddenly realized she didn't know where the office was. She panicked, and her gaze rested on a girl with a long blonde ponytail. She walked up to her. "Hello," she smiled. "Um... do you know where I could find the principal's office?" She asked.

The girl looked at her. "Oh, yeah! It's right over there!" she pointed at the front door. "um... that's the front door..." Lauren felt trouble stir between the two of them. "No, duh! I was sorta implying you to... oh, I don't know... get out of my face...?"

Lauren's eyes widen. She didn't expect that. "Um..." she backed away. "I'll leave you alone, then..." The girl glared at her. "You better."

Lauren walked away. She felt embarrassed. Who would she ask now? She saw a girl reading a book. She walked over to her cautiously. "Hi.. My name is Lauren... I'm new here." she said, hoping this girl would be nice.

"Oh...yeah. I heard there was gonna be a new girl... Do you need help?" Lauren nodded. "Yes. I don't know where the office is.." The girl pointed at a door nearby, which had a sign that read 'Principals Office'. Lauren felt embarrassed yet again. She could've just read the signs on the doors!

She paused. "Hey... uh... I didn't catch your name...?" The girl blinked. "Oh, my name is Jasmine." She smiled. "I'll show you around the school when you get back." Lauren smiled. "Thanks, Jasmine." She walked into the office. The office smelled like.... she didn't even know. She saw a lady behind a desk, writing papers, and looking at paperwork. Lauren cleared her throat. "Excuse me." She didn't seem to hear. "Um...Hi?" She said.

The lady looked up. "Can I help you?" She asked. "Yes, I'm new here. I need my school schedule.."

The lady smiled. "What's your name, dear?" She asked. "Lauren Jones." Lauren smiled. The lady handed her some papers. "Here's your schedule, the school map, and your locker number."

Lauren smiled. "Thank you, miss." The lady shook her head. "Call me Principal Belle - or Mrs. Belle." "Got it." Lauren nodded.

She walked into the hall, carrying her papers, looking them over. Suddenly, something tripped her. She fell, and landed on her stomach. She looked up to see that mean girl from earlier looking at Lauren's schedule. "You have a nice few classes, eh?" she smirked at Lauren.

"Wha-" Before Lauren could continue, she heard a loud ripping noise. Her schedule was getting wrinkled, and ripped!
