Just another day... [OPEN]

[kizami]

The teacher had been writing vigorously on the chalk board; ignoring for the most part the uninterested whispers of the children that should've been copying down notes. The teacher could tolerate them but he turned around towards the class aggravated when he heard a tiny pop.
Pop. Snap.... silence then another pop. The man was red faced; already annoyed by a whole day of dealing with high school students luckily for him this was his last class. Whispers stopped when the professor was facing them but the poping and the soft sounds of snapping bubble gum continued.
"Emily what have I told you about that?" he asked, he knew who it was this was becoming routine. "Spit it in the trash" he didnt wait for her to answer

The girl was still sitting though, headphones on looking at the clock on the wall behind the professor
"EMILY!"
She didn't hear him (and nor was she listening) instead she mouthed out numbers, the kids looked at her in question before they turned their glances back and smiled knowingly. She was counting down 'Three....... two........one' just as she mouthed the last word the bell rang. Students jolted up stuffing their loose papers and books into their bags and dashing out of class. Emily was the last out but as she was leaving however she felt a hand on her shoulder

"This is your last warning, next time I see you chewing gum in class I'll be calling your home. Electronics aren't allowed either you should know this..." The professor stopped her before she left, the girl looked back and put down her headphones. Digging one hand into her pocket she retrieved something and gave it to the professor "Lighten up," she said then she left
The man was left looking down at the empty bubble gum wrappers in his hand, he hissed and cursed inaudibly before he threw it in the trash and left the classroom too.

Charlie left his house really early in the morning so that he could start out his day in school early...of course he was still really late. He walked very slowly looking up at the sky as he entered school and lazily went down the hallway. Charlie was wondering how late he was, not that it really mattered, caring about school was something of the past for him, he just shows up to put on a facade of a regular kid. He didnt need the cops onto him since he ran away from home a few months back. He had started a new life by himself in a new school with no parents, friends, or relatives.

The sound of gum popping was coming out from the classroom Charlie was assigned too, he then heard the teacher yelling at some student about it, school...the only amusing thing about school was irritating the teachers that spent every boring day trying to teach todays youth something they really don't want to learn and barely use in there life. As he reached for the doorknob the door flew open and Charlie almost got trampled by the kids rushing out of the classroom, trying to escape the boredom. Charlie slid to the side of the doorway and waited till the rush was done so he could say a fake sorry to the teacher for missing out on his class, his excuse would have been a family emergency...bah family, something he hasn't had in a long time. As the last of the kids filed out he went in just to see a girl hand the teacher something and saying "Lighten up"; it was a pretty cute girl, with short black hair and a cute outfit.

He saw what she put in the teachers hand and he knew she was the one making the popping sound, he chuckled a little bit as she was about to pass by him. Charlie bumped into her by accident as he tried to enter the room, "Oh...sorry" he said as he tried to get out of her way trying to move to the right

[kizami]

Emily didnt expect to bump into anyone on the way out, it ruined her idea of a dramatic exit and as she and the kid collided the giant bubble she was blowing popped and created a web of gum that covered half her face, this made the teacher smile widely and Em wasn't even sure the other kid noticed the angry expression that overwhelmed her face as she peeled the web off her face. Standing next to the wall with her head down she tried to get all of it out without bringing too much attention to herself meanwhile she heard the teacher laugh quietly and then address the kid

"Yes?" The teacher said to the student, if he even was one. He couldnt really remember the boy from anywhere, and Mr. Castro often only remembered students that were disruptive in class or the ones with very high potential
Still near Emily grounded herself and was almost finished getting the remainder gum out of her hair, when she was done she began to walk away slowly and angrily checking her pockets for more. The teacher finally brought his full attention to the student and asked "You're in my class arent you? Why were you late?"

[hmmm]

"Yes?" The teacher said to the student, if he even was one. He couldnt really remember the boy from anywhere, and Mr. Castro often only remembered students that were disruptive in class or the ones with very high potential

Charlie kind of felt bad for making the girl look silly in front of the teacher but he shrugged it off after moving out of her way. The teacher looked at Charlie in confusion and wondered who he was most likely. "Yea I'm in your class, you don't remember me because your always concentrating on the other students you old fart" Charlie thought as he was about to speak. "Well, there was a family emergency sir...my mom well..." Charlie tried to put on a sad expression as he said his next words. "I have brought my mom to the hospital last night sir, and right now shes having a examination...they believe she may have cancer..." this was obviously a huge lie but how would the teacher know.

With some time on the streets and with the adoptive family Charlie use to stay with he had learned to lie so convincingly that sometimes he might have even fooled himself, if he was a idiot that is. "I just came from the hospital sir, I am very sorry I will make up the time." Charlie's face was so pitiful that even the meanest person would feel sorry for him, inside his head though he tried so hard not to laugh.

[kizami]

The teachers face twisted into a frown, as kids flooded the halls and loud chatter almost drowned out what the kid was saying but he got the general idea of it and he pitied the student. "Well I'm sorry about your situation," Mr. Castro said, he knew how it was like to lose a loved one to sickness and he was sympathetic "It's alright, you dont have to make up the time so long as you get the notes" He looked around and called out to the girl that was still in far view "Emily!" She came back just as slowly as she left, putting on a pout and rolling her eyes as she speed up to hear what her teacher was saying
"Do you mind giving this student todays class notes?"
"But---"
The teacher lifted a finger signaling silence
"You could at least give me extra credit," She finished anyway challenging the teachers hard look with a grin of her own
"....Fine" Mr. Castro said "+5 points, which will negate the -5 I gave you today for eating and having electronics out in class... and dont forget to give him the homework--"
The girls jaw dropped and she twisted on her heels and walked off now angry for a whole other reason. She was soon over it though and she looked to see if the student was still around

[charlie]

"d**n I didn't want to actually do work..." Charlie thought as the girl came back very slowly. She was quite pretty but Charlie had to keep the look of sadness on his face. As he heard about what the girl was doing in class it reminded him about how he treats class, but hes less interruptive, he usually likes to keep to himself and not draw attention. "Thank you sir" Charlie said as he walked down the hallways following the girl as if he was actually going to get her notes but as he turned the corner with her he laid upon the wall and smirked to himself. He need the work or want the work really everything was a facade. He looked at the girl that the teacher called Emily. Charlie spotted her looking back at him. "Sorry about that, you don't really need to give me the work, I don't need it". Charlie looked at the girl and kinda look at her outfit.

He looked away quickly though so not to seem to weird. "You have any gum...Emily was it? My name is Charlie nice to meet you" he had to break the tension some way. Charlie so didn't want to be in school, he had to though so that cops wouldn't pick him up on the street and bring him to school and check his records more closely, they were all fabricated by him and a friend he had connections with at city hall.

[kizami]

As Emily walked she heard the boy begin to speak, knowing that he didn't want the class notes made it easier on her seeing as she didn't have them, she had spent the class drawing pictures of random thingys.. An evil dough boy, Mr. Castro bald and obese and retarded kitty on the side saying "E=emilysquared" to top it off. She snapped back into reality "Good, because I was'nt paying much attention in class today..." the girl had already knew what was being taught anyway

She noted the kid observing her, she looked back raising a brow wondering why she didn't already know him she swept her bangs from her face and moved her tongue in her mouth looking for the taste of the piece of gum she lost earlier
"Of coarse I have," she said shoving her hands into her pockets. Just because she had gum she wasn't going to be obligated into giving it away. She didn't offer any eather she just went off on the next manner which was correcting him as to her name. "No, not that don't call me that. Its Em if anything you kno' like the letter M, some people call me Mia too" She was begining to feel like she was talking too much so she started walking again. The girl didn't know if Charlie still had classes or not so she was just going to head off for now to home or where ever her feet took her "So what are you up to now?" she asked for the sake of politeness. Em didn't really want to just walk away from the kid without saying anything so she just waited for him to answer, still walking and still hearing the bass from the headphones that hung from her neck

[charlie]

Charlie was expecting her to give him some gum but she really didn't give him any, this made him chuckle to himself in his head and all you could see from that kind of reaction was a smirk. She didn't take notes in her class it seems, this could be because maybe shes smart like him or maybe shes a complete idiots like the other kids in the class, but it was too soon to tell. "Sorry...Em" he said with a small smile. Charlie looked down at his brand new shoes and remembered where he robbed them from, but as he looked up he saw she was walking away, and sorta expecting he would follow. He was not one to let people down so he did follow a little but making it seemed like he was heading that way.

"Well seeing as I already missed a class I'm kinda in the mood to just ditch some classes for now. Where are you off to Em? I wouldn't mind the company" well this was rare. Charlie actually wanted this girl to hang out with him, no one hanged out with Charlie nor knew his real name because he never gave it out so easily and he didn't want friends. But something was different about this girl, what was it exactly...guess in time he would find out. He walked slowly down the hallway with her not really carrying a book bag, he found no use for those things, his jacket kept the things he need. A USB cable that connected to a very high price palm pilot he of course stole, so that he could have internet on the go along with tv. A switchblade for protection against idiots who really thought would rob him without getting harmed. Some paper to jot down random ideas that came to his head and two wedding rings which belonged to his dead parents.

[kizami]

Charlie seemed like he was thinking about something, and of coarse Em didn't know what but it was his choice if he wanted to hang out or not and Em didn't really have anything to do now so she'd let him tag along if he wanted to. She'd at smile back at him but something compelled her not to, even though she was happy that she had someone new to talk to.
"Cool, lets go then" Emily said "We ought to stop by my house for something to eat"
Although it was potentially dangerous to invite a complete stranger to yor home Em figured that with the times they were living in now criminals would often think more than twice before commiting a crime and if he tried anything at her house she did have her moderately sized dog that attacked on command. She wasn't sure if he'd try to steal anything though so she made a note to keep an eye on him, still Emily always liked to give people the benefit of the doubt despite her trust issues sometimes.

[Hope you don't mind but I'm going to speed this up]
Emily and Charlie walked by the schools security easily. The guards already knew her they waved her off and raised a brow at Charie but said nothing and before they knew it they were free from the prision of education
"So what's the real reason you're never at school?" Emily asked. She guessed that there was a possibility that the story Charlie told the professor was true but there was something about the way that he said it that made seem posed or fake. Em knew first hand since she used excuses like that all the time, her father had apparently died on three different days but if the teachers were smart enough to notice they might've caught her lies she just hoped that now she was witty enough to realize someone else's stories

[charlie]

Charlie was surprised to say the least that Em invited him to her house so wistfully, as if they known each other for years. Eh i guess thats what the world is now with there almighty god Kira...that pathetic person trying to be a real god... Charlie stopped his thoughts before the affected his facial expressions. "Sure lead the way" Charlie walked with his hands in his pockets as they passed the guards, of course they gave him the looks they gave him every few weeks, they never noticed him as he always tried to enter with them not looking.

"How did you know I'm never at school?" Coking his eyebrow up a bit, Charlie really thought no one noticed him enter or leave school really, not even the teachers. Much less how did she know what he said was a lie...hmmm maybe theres more to this girl then i though....good... "Eh...I find it uninteresting and the stuff there teaching here I already know, its a major drag also to get up in the morning and go to ..well this place" he shrugged off the situation of her noticing him not being in school. They finally reached outside and Charlie took a deep breath in as the warm sun hit him. It was a nice day, a little windy but still a nice day. "So which way to your house?"

[kizami]

The sixteen year old nodded and began to lead the way her house. As they walked she heard him ask a question and at first it didn't register; with the wind blowing at her hair and the warm rays of the sun at her face it was hard to keep her attention focused on a random student she just officially met but the girl managed as best he could, besides although he looked 'out of it' in a sense he seemed to be a pretty okay guy

"I notice things," she said to answer him "Most people just aren't as observant as me... that or they're just too preoccupied with their boring lives to figure things out... there's a lot of stuff people don't notice. Like how Mr. Castro always seems to be absent when Ms. Brown is even though he has a wife..." Emily stood shut she seemed to have wondered off again and said too much. "I digress," She chuckled at herself imagining how it must feel to have a weirdo girl talking non-sense to you

"Yea, you're right the school's lessons are outdated, they set the standards too low so the classes are really easy. If I fail it would only be because I slept through the whole coarse"
Absentmindedly she pulled a stick of juicy fruit from her pocket to keep her preoccupied, and in moments she was already blowing tiny bubbles that would pop as soon as it was made
"So which way to your house?" He said
Emily blew another bubble and let it pop before she kept walking

[charlie]

" Hmmm you seem different the the other students here, like your more intelligent. Quite attractive in a girl i say." Charlie couldnt help but say this, girls were his weakness and intelligence in a girl always made him turn into mush. As they walked he noticed she kept popping her gum, it was cute when she popped it but it still showed him a side of her that was still a bit childish, which is good he guessed in a odd way. Honestly Charlie didn't really want to notice things in school but he did anyway, that little escapade with those teachers would get found out soon come to light and the family of both of those teachers will be very upset. But he didn't care. He wondered why this girl was so interested in him and why she didn't care if he went to her house, but hey Charlie wasn't one to argue with a girl if shes inviting him to her house thats just nuts.

As they walked Charlie got a call on his stolen cell phone which he pays with prepaid cards. "Yo" he said. On the phone was one of his friends which he knew for awhile. He asked if Charlie was so that he could come to a club with him later on, he wasn't much for clubs and this friend may have got him the building he was staying at now but he still didn't like him. "Sorry I cant I'm with a girl right now, maybe later man" quickly hanging up Charlie looked up to Emily and continued walking with her. They passed a store where their were some tv's giving out news reports on the criminals that fell at the hand of Kira...god of the people. Spitting on the ground seeing the name Kira appear, Charlie didn't stop to ogle at the tv's he was slightly disgusted by those reports now.

As they walked Charlie thought about Kira once more, he hasn't put thought into Kira since he had left his adopted parents house. He wondered what Emily's thought abouts Kira were, did she support him? Did she hate what he was doing or was she somewhat like himself and was partially confused on where he stood with Kira and of justice. Was it justice to kill the murderers, rapists, and insane maniacs at the expense of innocent...was it right to make the innocent fear doing things that may not be so bad. Thats a infringement on there god giving freedom...this wasn't right but for now he just walked next to Emily towards her house.

[kizami]

"Attractive huh?" Em managed a smirk while holding the gum between her mouth and pinching it she pulled it afterwards so that it formed a fine long string... another bad habbit. She heard the kids phone ring and didn't pay much attention to what he was saying in his conversation. It was rude to be nosy and aside from that she didn't really care much, the phone call with whoever was cut short though making her run a confused look by him with silent respectfulness she nodded and kept walking

Suddenly Charlie spat, she realized it was because of the report on Kira and she sighed spitting out her gum with faked anger and then she quickly slipped another piece of gum in her mouth before she paused and watched the program for a moment. Hands in her pocket she walked yet again catching up with the boy

"So a little birdy told me you're holding a grudge against Kira,"She tried to supress a laugh "He's the new world order ya' kno. If you're planning on getting into politics or the police force you won't last long with that attitude, although I doubt that's anything you want to get into"

The two were close to her home and in just a few moments they would be right at her lobby door, so for the while she continued the conversation avoiding giving her personal input because she never bothered to have an important one. To her every 'god' had a darkside. If god created everything then why are there illnesses that kill? He must've created those too... She thought. To her this man playing god was no different than the idea of a real god, she made them both non existant and she paid no mind to the mass media and all the attention everyone gave the situation. But sometimes (like now) his presence would be too much to ignore and she'd be made to shine her opinion on it

[charlie]

"Police are incompetent they cannot even get someone that is killing off people left and right nor caring who is in the line of fire, they are fat lazy slobs that try to be a symbol of justice and control, they are little better then Kira. Politicians are barely above criminals in my mind, so i would never choose either" Charlie was about to open up his mouth and talk about the grudge he had on Kira but he had just met this girl, it wasn't wise to tell someone something very personal about yourself. "I don't have a grudge" he lied again, "I just dislike whats he doing, its against my morals" and the lies continue. "If hes the new world order I think he should be taken down and humiliated to the point where another one like him wont appear again" as they approached her house and entered the lobby, Charlie was a bit silent as he listened to Emily talked about Kira and his new order.

Was this how easy it was to get people to support you? He's using fear to keep the innocent afraid of him, or love him, and the criminals wanting to stop what there doing and hide away from the public. Half of what hes doing isn't bad but the innocent people cannot live in fear for the rest of their lives, this was not right he thought. Charlie was talking about random things about Kira, like some of the people he killed and a little story came out of him, he made sure it didn't sound personal. "You know I heard there was this one case that Kira was involved in, there was this man was a known killer and while he was on a highway he began to suffer from a heart attack. Many detectives believed this was Kira's will, smiting how evil from wherever he is. As this killer was dying he swerved into another car, a car that had in it a mother and a father but no kid. The car of this couple skidded into the apposite lane and a truck crashed into the front of there small automobile. They died instantly leaving a kid in his preteens to live with another family, feeling the pain of never ever seeing his real family again. If this Kira is the new world order, if he thinks hes god or if other people think hes a god then why does he kill without caring for the innocence thats around" as the door opened Charlie had a stern expression on his face for half a second but got rid of it.

He still needed to work on hiding his feelings, if he wanted to achieve his ultimate goal he must do this. Bringing up his story again and actually talking about it, brought back some of that heart tearing pains he had when he was told both his parents were dead, from a cop who said it so easily and unremorsefully. He wanted to hold his chest to stop the ache but he didn't motion to do so, he just walked in and stayed silent.

[kizami]

That really got the kid talking, Emily walked by with him feeling rather comfortable with the rebelious converstation. She couldn't help but feel however that he sort of had a personal experience that made him feel this way. "I must admit its hard to believe though, how do you catch someone that kills by giving heart attacks? The government must be hiding something because its impossible to believe they'd just let this continue" she went on "I'd join law enforcement just to find out how, but maybe we'll never know it would be a case too hard to crack"
She let Charlie rant a little about a rather specific situation. She tried to keep quiet, putting herself in Kira's shoes then she told herself 'Stop putting yourself in that monsters shoe's he can kill without remorse; a human with morals and integrity can't live with the guilt' but she couldn't come at a situation without looking at both sides so she just said "It was an accident"

Her eyes were wide and she still had the gum in her mouth but she wasn't chewing it, she swallowed it mindlessly regreting it after. 'Killing hundreds of people isn't an accident' she corrected silently. She wasn't frowning although she could feel one coming on, her face was blank her thoughts were overwhelming her. Em opened the lobby door and walked up the stairs leading the way, the last of what he said left a stale feeling hanging in the air until she swung the door opened and the sounds of barking from her dog rang in her ear

The girl didn't want to let the last conversation rest just yet instead she assured "Kira will get caught though..." her dog jumped around excitedly he jumped high enough to lick her face in mid air and she flinched watching him go over to Charlie to sniff and inspect him only to come back to her. Emily felt herself choke on her words not knowing much else to say other than that 'Yea, he'll get caught" she thought 'He has to, or else every ounce of faith the people have in the idea of justice will be spoiled'

For a moment her mind was racing, and she was stroking her dogs head in thought not realizing that she was nearly smothering him until he whimpered softly and she stepped back. Taking a seat on her sofa she glanced at Charlie embarrassed. She tried to ignore her mind as it told her 'Justice is subjectable, its always about power and punishment and everyone has their own interperation of it, so what make's Kira's justice so wrong? That it isn't controlled?' She nodded coming to a silent conclusion
'Kira diserves the worst punishment of them all'
