A/N: This is my first romance based fic! I chose Rin x Len because it's my favorite Vocaloid ship, as long as we respect each other's ships we'll have a good time!
I don't own Vocaloid obviously
Rin stared her notebook that was on her desk. She wanted to draw anything, or even write something in it. The minutes before the teacher came were extremely boring, at least to her. Then again, she was the only person in the classroom as of then.
It was her first day of High School. She hadn't actually worried about it at all: in fact, she kind of wished it would go by quickly. She had nothing to look forward to. She knew nobody there, and was already very educated in all of her subjects. For her, school was easy.
Students finally started entering the room. They had probably been talking amongst each other before they were required to go to class. The students stood up and greeted their teacher as she walked in.
After that, Rin slightly spaced out. She could hear what everyone was saying but wasn't really paying attention as most of what the teacher saying was about school etiquette, and Rin had already memorized it.
The morning passed so slow it was painful. Lunch wasn't exciting, either. She ate her food quietly and read a book at her desk, hoping to tell other people not to talk to her. The rest of the classes were mundane and clean-up time was nerve-wracking as she tried her best to interact with nobody, or at least keep it to a bare minimum. Once they were released, she tried to escape school as quickly as possible but not fast enough to attract attention. She boarded the train that headed near to her apartment in Tokyo.
Rin rushed on the train, only to find all the seats were taken already. It wasn't surprising, considering how packed bullet trains were in Japan (it's why people pushers were a job), she had just hoped she didn't need to stand up. She quickly grabbed a pole before it was too late.
Not even a minute later she felt someone's hand slap over her's, barely keeping themselves from falling over in the middle of the train. Rin widened her eyes in embarrassment as she was met face to face with a blue eyed, blond haired boy.
They stared at each other for a second before the boy smiled.
"Sorry!" He apologized, removing his hand from her's and standing back up. A light blush formed on his face. "I didn't expect that. By the way, if you want to know who just almost knocked you over, I'm Kagami Len."
"I-It's okay," Rin stuttered, still slightly shocked at what just happened. "I-I'm Kagamine Rin."
"Hm, you wonder if at one point in the past someone changed another surname to make it similar to Kagamine or Kagami?" The thought was so random Rin didn't know how to react to it.
"Maybe..." She stared at the ground as the train started to move. She noticed Kagami-san had the same school uniform as the school she went to had. She probably hadn't noticed him: in fact, she didn't remember what anybody who went to her school looked like.
She endured the awkward silence between her and Kagami-san until the train slowed down at her stop. She intended to squeeze past him but she realized as he started walking forward that they had the same stop. How did she not notice him before if they had so many similar stops?
She stopped and hid behind a pillar. Not that she was nervous (definitely not) but she didn't want to talk right now. It was bad enough as it was right now. She watched him walk out of view, and then began her quiet walk home.
She entered the building her apartment was in, and to her surprise, voices could be heard arguing from the bottom floor. She entered the elevator and pressed her floor number, floor eight. She waited anxiously as the yelling got louder, hoping it wasn't on her floor. The yelling reached its peak: the elevator went up one more floor before stopping at Rin's destination.
She unlocked the door to her apartment, stepping inside to reveal the small two room, two bedroom place that she called home. There was a kitchen and dining area (which they also used as a living room) and then her bedroom and her mother's.
The shouting could still be heard below her. She crouched down on the floor in hopes to hear more of the conversation. If it was happening in her building, she had a right to know, right?
"-I've asked you already, but I'll ask it again: when are you going to pay off the debt?!"
"I've told you, I don't have enough money yet! Stop whining about it until I can do something about it!"
"Well, you're the one who put us in this situation! You're my husband: you should care about this!"
"Says the woman who doesn't have a job!"
"Stop bringing that up! You know I don't work to take care of the apartment and especially our child!"
"Well, what'll Len think when he realizes his mom isn't helping to pay off the debt problem?!"
"He doesn't even know we're in debt! If anything, he'll blame you!"
Rin decided she had heard enough. She got up, a little bit shaken by that argument. By "Len", those two parents probably meant Kagami Len, the one who she had met on the train. Had he just moved here? It seemed like it, since she had never seen him or heard any arguing before she met him. Things were lining up too well.
She made herself something to eat and ate her fruit while staring at the wall. Reflecting on that argument made her think of her own parents, who divorced long ago and she had been living with her mom ever since. Kagami-san seemed to handle his family issues better than Rin thought she did, as she remembered countless tears she shed in the months after the divorce. Then again, it seemed like he didn't even know about it. But she knew people had ways to know about what was happening. She knew personally.
She retreated into her room and grabbed a book to read. Sometimes, she wished she had a job to help her mom pay off the fees of the apartment, but her mom wouldn't let her. She said she was too young. Because of this, Rin's mom worked late into the night and had to leave early in the morning for work as a waitress for two different restaurants. She said she didn't mind: instead, she said it relaxed her. Rin didn't believe it, but she accepted the fact she wouldn't work until her mom told her she could. In return, though, Rin was highly independent and kept the apartment clean for her mom, sometimes even cooking for her.
Rin finally put down her book at 9 PM. Although, she admitted she did a lot more thinking then actually reading. She changed into her pajamas and turned off the light, hoping for sleep to encompass her early.
