Open Your Eyes// Death Note: Light X Reader

Chapter 5

I woke up later than usual. When I checked my phone, I realized that I had 47 missed calls from several people from school.

'What the hell? Why did everyone call me this morning?'

I decided to call back one of my friends who called about an hour ago. "Hey Shico, what's going on? Why'd you call me?" I asked sleepily.

She gasped. "Oh my god so no one told you?!"

"I don't know what you mean but I got about 40 missed calls from people this morning. You're the first person I called back."

"Aw I feel honored. Anyway you're dating that cute Yagami guy right? Light?"

My face felt warm. "I guess so. I mean technically we aren't together but we have gone on several dates and we hangout all the time."

"Then this information might shock you. Light Yagami was seen with Kiki Tomega this morning!"

"Okay? And?"

"AND she said on Yourspace that they were going on a date! I happened to see them this morning went I went out with Rajan. She was all over your man!" I felt my heart drop some.

"Oh... I see. Well thank you for telling me. I have to go now. Bye" I hung up the phone and absorbed what I was just told.

'He doesn't like me... I'M SUCH AN IDIOT! WHY DID I THINK HE WOULD?!' I pulled out my laptop and checked Kiki's Yourspace account and sure enough there it was.

Update: date with Light Yagami today! I can't wait!!

I stared at the page for a few minutes before I began crying. I looked back up to see a new post on her page.

'I bet it's going to be a picture of them together or something stupid like "perfect date with my perfect man!" Ugh.' But What it actually read surprised me.

Update:OMG guys! We just got caught up in a bus hijacking! I'm traumatized! ;((

I wasn't sure how to take that news. It's pretty out there. I hoped that everyone was okay but all I wanted to do was wallow in self pity for a while.

I got out of bed and went downstairs where I found Yuta messing with the TV remote. "Hi (nickname)! Can I watch TV now?" His cheerful voice lifted my spirits some. I nod my head and put on cartoons for him to watch.

Dad had an early shift today so I only made breakfast for Yuta and I. After breakfast I changed my adorable brother out of his pajamas and into some play clothes so we could go to the park.

Right before we headed out, my phone rang. It was Light who was calling me. Now that I think about it, we had a date this evening. We were going to go to the movies but now I didn't want to see him at all. It was bad enough that I was going to see him at school tomorrow anyway. I decided to ignore his calls for the time being.

"Come on Yuta. Let's go play." The young boy's eyes sparkled and he happily agreed. We spent an hour at the park and then we stopped by the bakery on the way home and picked up a few treats. I ended up carrying my brother home because he was extremely tired so he fell asleep.

I caught a glimpse of someone out of the corner of my eye. "Eli? Is that you?"

"How is it that you can always find me? No one else even notices me." He chuckles and comes out of his hiding spot.

"After my mom's death, my dad made sure that I was always completely aware of my surroundings. It's a habit now." He nodded understandingly. "Would you like to come inside? I'm making dinner soon."
