The Masked Guy

"Did you see the girl beside the empty seat a while ago?" L asked Hothor and Serge as they were eating at the cafeteria.

The two nodded. "Yeah. Why?"

L smirked. "She's the one." he said.

The two almost choke on their food when they heard what L said. "WHAT??!!!!"

"She's the one. She is my princess." L repeated.

"Wow! Really, L! She's not that bad!" Hothor said.

"Yeah. And she's intelligent too." Serge added.

L smiled. "I know."

"But you see," Hothor started. "She seems really worried about you, L. She knows you right? She knows that you are her seat mate?" He asked.

L shook his head. "She doesn't know my real name. She just knows me as L." He said.

Hothor and Serge looked at each other. "I told you so." Serge said.

"L, why don't you introduce yourself to her already?" Hothor asked. "I mean, you as Chester?"

L shrugged. "I don't know. I just want to stay like this for now. Just watching over and protecting her without her knowing." L said as he ate his food.

"OPPA!" A huge scream of girls were heard from the hallway.

Hana looked at the girls who were screaming their hearts out while she was walking to the library. She didn't mind though. Her thoughts are all on Chester.

Then...

"Owww!" She groaned. "I’m sorry." She said without looking at who she bumped with and started walking off.

"So rude, eh?" the voice said. The voice sounded familiar.

Hana looked back to see who is speaking. To her surprise, she saw the person she longed to see for weeks now. "L?" She asked still in shock.

L smirked and walked closer to her. "I thought you forgot about me already, Hana." L said.

Hana shook her head. "Long time no see." She said.

L nodded. "Yeah. Been busy." *watching over you.* L thought.

Hana smiled. "I see." She said. "I have to go now. Bye, L ssi!" She waved her hand and walked to the library.

L looked down. *Another hanky?* L thought as he smiled and picked it up.

By this time, Hana was already contemplating on her feelings toward L, which she even thought was a love at first sight, and her mysterious seat mate Chester Kim, whose face she never knew.

There are two things. 1. She has this skippy heartbeat whenever she is around or even if she thinks about L, and 2. She never felt this curious towards a guy to the point that she's even fantasizing over what he looks like. And that's Chester Kim.
