The Billionaire Drama King.

Chapter 1 (Death note)

It was dawn and students could be seen hurrying up to schools just avoid being late. Being the busiest day of the week, Monday always comes with its rush as both workers and students often cuss over this day.

In the midst of this scene, Philip could be seen with his headphones striding to his school gates. He would have avoided classes today but it would seem suspicious and decided to play cool.

Quickly, he got to his class, sat on his seat, pulled his headphone and glanced at the seat opposite him, it belongs to Natalie and he knew she wouldn't show up either. Alex brought out a book from his locker and acted like though he was reading but his ears was actively listening to what was going on in the classroom.

He shifted his gaze to two boys who had eyes on him which got him frighten a bit, however, he needed not to behave as a suspect. Certainly someone was going to break the news of missing students from last night.

The newscaster happened to be Abigail, her ears were everywhere and swift to grab informations. Besides, she wasn't made the class prefect for nothing.

They were 20 in this class and by far the noisest as everyone had a name not excluding Alex who was nickname "the handsome coward". Definitely, he didn't like to get to trouble yet trouble makers finds him attractive and a prey to vent their wrath.

"What?" Philip exclaimed rising from his seat, one wouldn't tell if he was excited or not because the missing students happens to be the terror of the school except one kid who was Natalie. This boy was the brain of the class and competed with Alex who inspite of the tragedic life he had still made effort in maintaining good grades.

Alex attempted to write something on his note but the pen slide off from his hand, and as he was about to pick up from the ground, Jason helped him out. Jason was also one of his bullies but he stopped a while ago, claiming that he wanted to live a good life so that when he becomes a celebrity, his victims would tarnish his image.

Jason smirked at Alex, leaned his face to the trembling lad and whispered in his ears;

"I know you were with him last night"

Alex didn't give a respond as he stretched his hand for Jason to hand over the pen which he did.

"This is bad, a week ago, two of our students went missing too and now it's three!" Thelma added faking tears. She was the drama queen of the class, however, either bad or good, everyone here wished good for each other except those who didn't have a heart like Alex bullies.

"I really hope they get found, I'm really scared, perhaps there's an evil spirit sorting after student's soul!" Ollie suggested and Jason mockef him that he might be the next soul to be taken. Ollie only comes up with speculations that could make one lose their lives. He was regarded as the wrong soothsayer.

Usually, Alex hardly speaks in class also and so he was treated like an outcast in the class. That made him viewed everyone here as vipers who wished him to be lonely and die slowly from their poisons.

A paper slip outside from the book which he used as a shield from peeking eyes of his peers who aimed at throwing questions at him too since everyone wanted to know what their peers thinks about the current situations of missing minors.

It was a death note which he had written a while back. The note contained various ways of dying without getting hurt. One would think they were for the depressed lad who was tired of the rejections he faced in life but they were for someone else.

His lower eyes searched if someone found him reading note and when they were satisfied with the answers, those eyes focused on the text book in his hand.

Suddenly, Jason dragged the book from his hand and kept it straight.

"It's upsidedown" he beckoned and Alex nodded waiting patiently for their teacher to come in and set him free from Jason whose attitude was threatening him already yet he couldn't ask Alex the probing questions in his head.

The earnest prayer of his came into fruition as the teacher walked only to declared the names of the missing students.

"Natalie, Adrian, Eric!" Jason counted loudly after the teacher for Alex to hear. Alex didn't even realize that Jason had moved his seat close to him just to torture him. He knew Jason was suspecting him and needed to confirm his speculations by getting him to open up which Alex promised himself never to.

"Yes, Jason, they went missing at the late hours and if any of you have information concerning their where about, do communicate with us" he announced.

The news sadden the mood for the day, that most students couldn't concentrate mostly when Ollie came up with the thought that a ghost seek after the souls of students from this school and anyone could be the next victim.

Alex couldn't wait till closure time, he prod towards a trash can, brought out the death note, tore the pages and dumped inside hoping that no one would have a clue over what those pages read. When he was done, he made way for home and kept a stern look so as not to be stopped by anyone.

"Murderer" a voice whispered from behind just when he was about to step out of the exit gate. He shoved his gaze to see who could have said that but there was no one. Alex came up with the assumption that it was his mind ringing that word to him.

Soon his thoughts were filled with ghotic sight of blood spilling on his face and a girl crying out for help, the thought of himself bashing a head on the wall made him petrified that he became hypersensitive.

"Hey kid, you're on the path!" A woman yelled at him to make way while she passes through. He apologized and moved his stiffen body away from the path.

"You got this Alex" he said to himself and was about to take a step when he saw Natalie standing in front of him in her school uniform which was a white blouse and a gray box pleat skirt and a gray bow tie.

Her outfit was stained with blood, tears streamed from her eyes, her lips mumbled a word and her hands stretched out to him, her legs were moving back at the same time.

He was startled that his heart raced and stopped breathing. Alex covered his ears with his palms, fell on his knees and began to shake his head as though insane. His lips recited the word "No". His eyes became drowsy and then he slumbered.

Jason who was Intending to step out the school gates found some students surrounding someone, he stood watching what was going on as he could see some teachers running to attend to what drew the attention of students.

He lowered his hand to what he held in his hand and what was inscribed on the book was;

"Death note"

An evil smile crept out of his lips as he tugged the book into his bag.

"Let's see where this is heading to, murderer"
