Eight - Amane

{Light's POV}

It was a week after the school trip that a girl, Misa Amane (or Misa Misa to her fans), showed up at our school. She was very quiet at first with brown hair and hazel eyes and I admit she was naturally very beautiful however she soon changed into a flamboyant blonde haired, blue eyed dumbass.

She came to school the first time with red blood-shot eyes, that looked as though she'd cried for weeks on end. For the first two days or so she was quiet and only chose to speak to someone three days after arriving. Unfortunately that someone was me.

She approached me on a rather cold day with a scarf neatly wrapped around her neck, covering her mouth and nose. She didn't speak at first, only stared up at me with eyes that looked far away, like they weren't even staring at me but rather at another universe. When she did speak I automatically disliked her. The voice that escaped the pink, cracked lips was high and nasal. Irritatingly childish I thought.

"Hello, I'm Amane Misa." She squeaked and inwardly I groaned at the noise.

"Umm... Light Yagami..." I replied questionably.

"I'm new and I was wondering if you'd be my friend."

And with that I cringed because saying yes would mean constantly being irritated and saying no would mean breaking an already considerably broken girl down. I was luckily saved by the bell. Well no I was saved by the 'L' when he approached to say hello that morning.

"Hello Light how was your morni- who's this?" L said, tilting his head to the side while staring at Amane. "Ah L this is Misa Amane she's new." I said in sarcastic cheeriness. I'm sure L picked it up but Misa only smiled and waved, which confirmed my suspicion: she was stupid.

That's when the flamboyance burst out of her like a firework and she said in anime-like determination "that's right I'm Misa but you can call me Misa Misa! I'm determined to become your friend and have a super fun time!"

'Ugh' is what I would've said had she not been standing right in front of me. I wasn't amused but L was enthralled.

"Tell me Misa have you ever watched Sailor moon? You seem very... Animated." L said, his voice dripping with sarcasm which Misa, of course, never picked up. She giggled in happiness and flashed us a dazzling smile. Now I would love to say this story had a strong willed, intelligent female character but the only thing close was Mikasa who won't come up. In other words this isn't empowering to women because Misa is your only female representative. For that I'm sorry.

L being L allowed Misa to be our friend on the condition she didn't attract much attention to us. That one condition was hard for Misa, very very hard. Hard when she died her hair yellow/blonde, hard when she started putting in blue contacts, harder when she started wearing those corsets and short skirts.

Damn Amane...

{Author's note}

Okay I hate writing these as I think they ruin the mood but I'd like to make it clear that I do not think blonde haired women or men are dumb nor do I think that blue eyes are a sign of low intelligence. In fact I have blue eyes so that in itself would be dumb. I also think the goth subculture is awesome and don't think Misa's style is abnormal but my Light does. Finally I'm sorry Misa is my only female protagonist (more like antagonist) because she's really stereotypical and ew.
