Transferred

Yo. I'm back after months of no-update. I really apologize. I've been really busy, and I had no motivation at all. I'll do my best to update them when I already can. For now, I'm putting them on hiatus as I worked on this other fic. I'm so sorry...

Anyway, I hope you'll like this one. I had this idea while I was wondering about what will happen if I wake up and suddenly I'm the only one in the world who had memories of my friendship with my friends, and they've all forgotten me in one night.

Have fun reading :)

GUMI

"...are- are you serious?" I stuttered, doing my best to feign composure.

"Uh... yeah..." he puffed his cheeks in that cute way he does when embarrassed. I was already certain that all of my blood had been drained into my head.

I swallowed. "I... I don't know what to say."

It was silent for a long time. And then I ran away, leaving him standing there, probably watching me as I turned a corner and disappeared into the school building.

In the afternoon that same day, as the sun slowly disappeared from the orange-stained sky during dismissal time, I quickly whispered something to him and ran again, not bothering to wait for a response.

"I like you."

That was when the guy I like suddenly confessed to me.

It was a very vivid memory. Months had passed and it's still as vivid as a memory that occurred a few seconds ago. It's that special.

After that we became really close friends - just friends, we can't go further - and I enjoyed every second with him.

We always did things together since then. All of the wonderful memories piled up, burying me in a sea of happiness.

I never knew that something like that...

...can cease existing in a blink of an eye.

"So," Len said, pointing the tip of his mechanical pencil on the seventh item of our Algebra homework. "Can you solve this one by yourself, now?"

I bit my lower lip, squinting at the equation. "I'll try." And then I began experimenting with the numbers, trying to find a way to simplify it.

"You can do it, Gumi-chan," he patted my head. "You're actually smart, you know."

A small smile involuntarily formed on my lips, but I continued solving. He continued reading the book he had with him, which I was sure was the third book he had been reading since this morning, and he's more than halfway through it. Three books in a day? I wondered if I could do that.

By the way, my name is Gumi. I'm a junior high school student in Vocaloid Academy, a special school for the musically-inclined, and not to brag, but I'm one of the top 15 in the school's "Best Voices". They replace the list monthly, but I'm always there. The one who's always on top is Hatsune Miku, a girl who's absent almost everyday, but a teacher's pet nonetheless. Sometimes I think she's bribing the faculty staff to vote for her. Still, her voice is actually something.

I've got very few friends because I rarely talk to anyone. I guess the only friends I have here were Len, his twin sister Rin, Yuuma, and one of the middle school kids named Yuki Kaai who was friends with my brother Ryuuto.

"Len-kun," I passed my notebook to him. "I'm done."

He closed the book he was reading and checked my answer. He grinned.

"This is correct," he gave me my notebook back. "You can do the rest."

"Thanks," I said, and continued my homework.

We're in the same club, the Go club. It's an awesome boardgame. Usually after school when I'm done with my homeworks I play Go with Len or Yumma.

Soon the sun was setting, and the sky was already a mix of orange, purple and pink. I checked my watch. 5:39PM.

"Len, aren't you going home yet?" Rin asked her brother as she narrowed her eyes on the Go board, obviously having trouble winning against Yuuma.

"Depends," he replied as he flipped a page. "You going home, Gumi-chan?"

"...I guess," I said, stuffing my things into my unorganized bag. "After a game, maybe?"

"Wanna play?" Len closed his book.

"Sure," I said just as Rin slammed her fists on the table.

"No fair!" she yelled, and I sighed. "I always lose! Dang, I hate this game!"

"Yeah, say it in the clubroom," Len teased her. "Why did you join this club in the first place anyway?"

Rin glared at her brother, her eyes blazing for some reason. "Because I am born to defeat you," she said matter-of-factly, her glare vanishing. "I challenge you."

"I don't know who to cheer," I laughed.

"I deserve everyone's cheers," Rin folded her arms across her chest and grinned.

"Yup, you totally need them," Len added as she sat in front of him, a Go board between them.

"Shut up, geek," Rin spat. I shook my head and glanced at Yuuma. He raised his eyebrows.

"Let's play?" he removed the stones on the board that he and Rin used. I smiled and nodded, slightly disappointed that I couldn't play with Len.

I sat across Yuuma and we started playing.

Halfway through our game, Rin started whining and pushing the stones off the board. Len leaned against the back of his chair, annoyed.

"Rin, you should learn to be more patient," he lectured his sister.

"No, shut up," she said, flipping the board violently. "I win, I win."

He sighed. Apparently he was actually leading but Rin couldn't accept that so she gave up and ruined the board.

"Rin-chan, calm down..." Yuuma tried to comfort Rin, but she stood up and lifted her bag.

"I'm going home," she muttered as she headed to the door and left. He shook his head.

"Hey, Rin, wait!" Len also stood up and grabbed his bag. "Uh, bye guys, sorry about that." And then he took off before I could wave good bye. I frowned and continued my game with Yuuma.

"Hey, Gumi," he suddenly said, breaking the silence. I looked up. He was saying something, but I was suddenly stunned when I looked at his hair. It was pink due to a bet he lost against his sister Mizuki, but it suited him. And today, the orange sunlight was shining on his hair, making the strands glow. I couldn't name the color, but it was wonderful. Not to mention his hair was swaying because of the electric fan. I found myself gawking at him.

"Uh... Gumi?" he waved a hand at my face, and I shook my head.

"Ah, sorry," I apologized, trying to avoid looking at his hair. "Were you saying something?"

He sighed. "I was asking about Rin."

"Hm? What about her?" I continued playing.

"I was asking what do you think of her."

As his question registered into my mind, I smirked. "I know that question."

He flinched. "What do you mean?"

"You like her?"

He was suddenly silent. I glanced at the board.

"Hey, look, you lost," I said and he sighed. "So, what were you saying? Do you like Rin?"

"I'm going home," he grabbed his bag and ran out of the room. I laughed. Idiot. You ask questions and then you leave without waiting for my answer.

But now that I think about it, I don't really think they'll make a good couple. That was mean of me, but that's my opinion, so... yeah.

"Mikuo," I also stood up and took my bag. "I'm going home."

He glanced at me and smiled. "Yeah, sure. Bye."

Mikuo was the club president. The Go club has a lot of members, so I didn't bother waving them goodbye.

I jogged out of the school.

The sun had already set, and I was biking home across the streets illuminated only by artificial light. I hate the artificial lights. They overshine the stars. It annoyed me. I decided to bike beside the small hill near the river, to have a better view of the sky. The moon and a single star - probably a planet, Venus - were already up.

The sky was already dark blue, and I stopped to check my watch. 6:47PM. I sighed and continued biking, when I realized there's a girl on my way- I bumped into her and we both fell down the hill.

It was all so fast - I saw a flash of teal, heard a scream, something splashed into the water, and my head fell on the grass. I heard my bike skittering off. I slowly stood up and held my head. I felt extremely dizzy.

I looked around. From a distance I could see a girl with long teal hair running up the hill, and away, seemingly escaping. I think I know her... she's Hatsune Miku, the best singer in our school. I didn't have a chance to apologize. Was she the girl I bumped into? Why did she run away?

I sighed, picked up my bike, and went home as if nothing happened.

"I'm home," I murmured as I removed my shoes and wore my bunny slippers.

"Oh, hey, Gumi," I heard my mother call from the kitchen. "Is that you? Why are you home late?"

"Club activity," I replied in a monotonous voice. Normally, my mother didn't care what time I go home.

She emerged from the kitchen and kissed me on the cheek. I flinched. Normally, my mother would NEVER kiss me.

"Why, honey?" she asked. "Oh, what's that on your forehead?"

I looked up even if I couldn't see it, and realized I probably have some sort of scrape on my forehead because of the fall. Hold on-

'Honey?'

What got into my normally indifferent mother?

"Uh... just fell down the hill..." I replied, looking away.

"Oh!" she shook her head. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah," I touched my forehead. "Don't mind this. I'm fine."

"Be careful next time," she patted my head and went back to the kitchen. I stared at her, dumbstrucked.

What just happened?

Normally, she wouldn't pay attention if I had something like this...

I decided to shrug and just went upstairs to change.

The next day, all of my friends were acting strange.

Rin and Len weren't paying attention to me, and only Yuuma ate with me during lunch.

Maybe I was just making a big deal out of it. They're just too busy. It's not like I'm their top priority. Yeah. Of course. They've got something else to do.

On the way to the clubroom after class, I decided to have a word with Yuuma.

"Hey, Yuuma, what were you saying yesterday again?" I asked, and he looked at me.

"Which one?" he asked back.

"The one about Rin," I added. "You were asking me what I think of her. Why? You like her?"

He furrowed his eyebrows. "Rin? Are you serious?!"

I raised an eyebrow in return. He said her name as if it disgusted him.

"Yeah... you even walked out when I asked," I frowned. "You're good in hiding, but I can read you."

"Gumi," he shook his head and sighed. "I never asked anything about Rin."

"Eh?" I puffed my cheeks, thinking. I guess I'm already beginning to copy Len's habits. And then I smirked. "Then what's that you asked yesterday? You're the worst liar, Yuuma."

"Maybe you are the one who suck in lying," he stopped walking. "I never mentioned anything like that yesterday."

"You asked me while we were playing, after Rin and Len left!"

"Gumi!" he slapped his forehead. "Seriously... are you rejecting me?"

"I'm seri- what? Rejecting you?"

"Gumi, yesterday, I was saying that- that-"

"That what?"

He fell silent. I glared at him impatiently.

"THAT WHAT?" I repeated.

"That..." his face was so red. "Yesterday, Gumi, I confessed to you. Remember?"

"Huh?" I tilted my head to the side.

"I said I like you."

It was my turn to fall silent. And then I laughed. "Ah, Yuuma, that was a nice confession rehearsal. I think you're ready now. Good luck with Rin." I walked into the clubroom.

Len was playing with the girl I bumped into yesterday. I didn't know Miku was a member of the Go club.

"Hi, everyone," I said. "Um, Hatsune, sorry for yesterday."

She looked at me and smiled. "Nah, it's fine."

I glanced at Rin. She was reading. "Hey, Rin."

She looked at me and raised an eyebrow. "Hello... Nakajima-san?"

I glanced at Yuuma. He had just entered the room and was placing his bag on a chair. "I'm so happy for you!" I patted her head. She glared at me, and I flinched.

"Don't touch me, Nakajima,"she slapped my hand.

"Eh? Are you mad at me?" I asked. "Why?"

She went back to reading. I sighed and looked at Yuuma again. And then back at Rin. And then at Len.

What is wrong with everybody?!

"I win," Len suddenly said, and Miku frowned.

"Len, let's play," I said cheerfully. "We didn't get to play yesterday."

He shot me a curious glance. "Nakajima?"

I raised an eyebrow. Nakajima? Ever since the confession, he was already addressing me with the honorific '-chan'.

"Of course we didn't play yesterday," he said, his eyes narrowing. "You're not a member of the Go club, as far as I know."

Miku gasped and hurriedly started tapping on her phone. I stood there, in front of Len, wondering if I should laugh or not.

"Funny joke," I murmured sarcastically, and suddenly, before I could add, "What's wrong with everyone?" Miku grabbed my hand and dragged me out of the room.

"Nakajima," she said in a hurried voice, "I have something to tell you."
