Two But Equal

Chapter One: Detention for Geniuses & Losers

School started as usual for these high school teens. They dread to arrive to a place they call hell and have to endure tortures called lectures. School also seems to have evil inventions called quizzes and tests. At least that's what Neru Akita thinks of it. She arrived at the high school an hour and half late. She didn't care if she was late or not because she could care less. She opened the door to her classroom which was in the middle of a lesson. Her teacher sighed.

"Glad you can join us Akita. You're almost two hours late. I'm sure you have some sort of excuse for your lateness?"

Neru just scoffed and went to her seat by the window. She felt a tap on her shoulder and looked to see Miku Hatsune with her notebook. "I have the notes if you want to copy them."

The yellow haired girl glared at the tealette. "I don't want the notes and I don't need your help. Now piss off."

"Fine." Miku faced the board to get on with the lesson.

Neru looked off into the distance from her seat. "I don't need help. I don't need anything."

The lesson went on until the bell for lunch rang. Everyone got out of their seats and head out the door. "Neru." The yellow haired girl stopped and turned to the teacher. "Can I talk to you for a bit?" Neru sighed remained in the classroom. Soon as the last person walked out, the teacher began the conversation. "Neru I want to know what happened to you. You used to be the brightest student in the class. Your grades were on the top of the school. But that all changed one day. You stopped going to class and when you do come you're several hours late and your grades have been dropping at a drastic rate."

"Are you going to get the point or just blabber on?"

The teacher sighed. "I want to know what's wrong. Maybe there's something I can do to help."

Neru turned around. "I don't need help. Whatever goes on in my life is none your damn business." She opened the door and left the room. While she was walking to the cafeteria, she felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned to see Miku with a displeased look on her face.

"You didn't need to bite my head off earlier you know. I was only trying to help since you're grades are going down."

Neru glared at her. "I told you before I don't need any help and don't touch me. Touch me again and you'll regret it."

The yellow haired girl tried to walk away but Miku grabbed her arm. "I'm not done talking to you yet."

There's another fact about Neru. She has quite the temper. The next thing she did was slam Miku against the lockers and grabbed her arm in way so she could break it easily. "I told you. Touch me again and you'll regret it. Why is it that people like you don't get it!" She twisted the tealette's arm which made the pain worse.

"Miku!"

Neru looked over to the Kagamine twins. The mean girl let go of Miku. "Beat it now." She threatened. All three ran from the pissed off blonde. She sighed as she knew this would get her in trouble but she didn't give two shits. She continued to walk to lunch and have a bite to eat.

Meanwhile in another part of the school, an older student and another teacher were having a discussion and from the look of the student, the news wasn't good. "Miss Yowane, this can't be ignored anymore. You already failed your senior year and have to repeat it again. You're performance hasn't changed since last year. If your grades don't improve then I'm afraid there isn't much hope for you."

"B-But I've been trying this time. I can't fail again. I don't want to fail."

The teacher sighed. "That's not what your grades say. If your grades don't improve soon, you're going to be in serious trouble. Maybe some time in detention should help."

"Detention!?"

"Relax. You're not in trouble. The extra time should help you to focus on your homework. Any amount of time should help. In the end, the results depend on you."

The white haired girl looked at the ground. "I understand."

"Good. You may leave now."

The girl bowed and left. She sighed as she thought about her academic situation. "What am I going to do? All of my friends graduated while I stayed behind. This always happens. I'm always the last one. The last one to arrive, the last one to finished a test and now I'm the last one to graduate." She continued to walk to the library to get some homework done.

B

Well she got some schoolwork done but not much. School was over for the day but she was in detention so she could get some more homework done. Right now she was struggling with math problems. While she was being stumped for the time being, she heard the door open.

"All right Akita, you know the drill."

"Yeah yeah."

The white haired girl saw another girl enter the room. She sat a few seats behind her and closed her eyes. She guessed the other girl had detention before. The white haired girl tried to figure out the problem but couldn't get.

"I don't it at all. What do I do? I'm so confused."

The continued whining began to bug Neru. She couldn't get any shut eye with the other girl. The yellow haired girl decided she had enough and went to the white haired girl. When Neru had closer look she could tell the girl was a bit older than your average senior. That and she had a huge rack. "Hey would you mind. Some of us just want this thing to blow over. What are you even complaining about in the first place?" She took a look at the paper and saw the older girl was doing some math problems. From the looks of it, she didn't solve the first problem. "You're seriously having trouble with this?"

Neru grabbed the other girl's pencil and started to work on the homework. The older girl was impressed the yellow haired one could solve these problems in a matter of seconds. In just six minutes, she finished the whole packet. "Wow. Um thank you."

Neru sighed. "Whatever. I did this so I wouldn't have to listen to your whining. What are you doing here in the first place? You look like you can't even hurt a fly."

"I'm just here to finish my homework."

Neru held out her hand. The older girl didn't know what she wanted. The younger growled in frustration. "If you have any other homework you need to get done, then hand them over."

"Oh ok." The white haired girl reached into her bag and pulled out several more sheets. "T-Thank you for helping me."

Neru scoffed. "I'm not helping you. I'm helping myself. The sooner you're done with this, the sooner I can get back to sleep."

The other girl smiled. "I'm Haku Yowane."

Neru looked at Haku. "I could give a damn less what your name is. Now shut up and let me work." All the while Neru was working on the homework; she couldn't help but look at Haku a few times.
