*Sequel* I lay on my bed, lifting the notebook above my head so I can scan my eyes over the rules that are printed on the black leather. The human whose name is written in this note shall die. This note will not take effect unless the writer has the person’s face in their mind when writing his/her name. Therefore, people sharing the same name will not be affected. If the cause of death is written within the next 40 seconds of writing the person’s name, it will happen. If the cause of death is not specified, the person will simply die of a heart attack. After writing the cause of death, details of the death should be written in the next 6 minutes and 40 seconds. The notebook shall become the property of the human world, once it touches the ground of (arrives in) the human world. The owner of the note can recognize the image and voice of the original owner, i.e. a God of death/Shinigami. Shinigami... Wait a second. I put the book down on my bed and head for my laptop. It doesn't take very long to get it up and running, considering I'd left it on the last time I used it. Then, it's only a matter of moments before I've hacked into the Police information files. I look through them until I find what I'm looking for. The Kira case. I read through all the reports. Just as I thought. Kira's tool for killing criminals was in fact, a Death Note. So I should be expecting a Shinigami any moment now. I continue to sit in my usual position, legs tucked under me comfortably, facing my laptop, until suddenly, I hear a flapping noise behind me. Like the sound of wings. I spin my chair around, now facing the wall. Except, now I don't see just a wall. Standing in front of me, is what can only be a Shinigami. He has black wings sprouting from his back, a wide smile, black hair sticking up from his head, and he's dressed in all black, an outfit in which feathers are hanging off his shoulders. He looks at me, seeming suprised. "Woah, Deja vu." He says.

If you're judging this book by its cover and title, you're already proving the point this story wants to make. Try to move past this satirical obstacle in front of you. This is a story about bullying, and like the hundreds of other books on the topic, it will show you the harsh reality of being discriminated, belittled, ridiculed for something you cannot control- how you look, who you love, or what you believe in. But unlike these books, this story's sole purpose is not to tear your heart out of your chest as you mourn over your loss of faith in humanity. Instead, this book will make you laugh and love alongside these characters. Just like in life, there will be moments of dread and surrender, but there will also be moments of happiness, laughter, and love. - Naomi Lorraine, better known as Nerdy Naomi with her thick-rimmed glasses and straight-A report card, is the most unpopular girl in her school. Even with the help of her sarcastic comebacks, that doesn't stop her from getting bullied by everyone in Dartwell High. Every day her childhood bully, Raymond Meyers, knocks her off her feet, literally. However, she can't do anything but survive the laughs, insults, and bruises high school gives her. There are three senior transfer students, dubbed the Three Musketeers: Bennett Frazier, Jordan Wallace, and Declan Lynch. All in one day, Naomi catches their attention one by one. With her snarky attitude, but innocent look, they can't help but want her. But not the way you're thinking. Oh no, not like that. Instead, it's probably the whole opposite. It's quite simple really. She'll be their good girl. And they'll be her bad boys. ~ [This story is a first draft written by a 13 to 15-year-old girl so it has its fair share of grammar mistakes and plot holes.] Wattys 2015 Talk of the Town Award Second Place Story of 2015 Best Humor and Overall Points of The Fiction Awards 2016 Third in the Writers Awards 2016 Highest Ranks: #1 Humor, #1 Teen Fiction
