The Stars In The Sky
Hi everyone! I'm BlushingBunnies, and I used to go by the name of MeganRin. Haha, well I needed to change...everything. I came up with some good ideas over my winter break, and this is one of them. I really hope you like this story. Thanks for reading, and please review!
Chapter 1 - The Gleam in Your Eye
Walking along the hallways with her chemistry textbook held to her chest firmly, was Rin Kagamine. She was known around Shirogane Academy for her gifted academics. Meaning, she was very smart. One of the smartest in the entire school. There was two minutes to get to class, and many students rushed, while Rin calmly maintained her slow pace. She didn't feel the need to scurry. Once she got to class, she smiled bitterly. She walked up to where she sat and tapped a girl who was chewing gum and flirting with the boy across from her. The most popular girl in school, and a very talented blackmailer, Lily Masuda. She didn't intimidate Rin one bit.
"Excuse me," Rin said, narrowing her eyes, "This is where I sit. Please move." Lily just scoffed. "I don't know what you're talking about. Leave me alone loser." She twirled her hair and giggled. "As much as I would love to leave you alone, you are being stubborn and very ignorant. This is my seat for chemistry, so please move to where you actually sit." Rin scowled. "That, like, doesn't make any sense." Lily argued continuing to bicker, "This is where I sit. I didn't take your spot, because I don't know where you sit." Rin rolled her eyes. "Fine, I guess I'll have to ask Mr. Suzuki where I sit, then." Lily sighed. "Whatever, you can sit here, even though it's totally not your spot." She then walked over to an empty spot and sat down, talking with another girl.
Mr. Suzuki is a nice guy, but sometimes he can be really startaling when he wants to be. If Rin were to ask why Lily was in her seat, Lily would most likely get lectured. The only reason she was doing that was because she wanted to flirt with that boy... speaking of which, Rin noticed that she hadn't seen him around. Maybe he was new? Rin realized she had been lost in thought about this boy, and she shook her head.
Mr. Suzuki came up to the front of the room as usual, and pushed his glasses up from the bridge of his nose. "Good morning everyone. I would like to introduce our transfer students today. First up we have... Len Kagamine."
The boy across from Rin stood up and smiled. "Hi, my name is Len. I transferred here from Hayashi Academy, but I just moved here, and I will be staying here for good, I assume. Well anyway, I love reading, but I'm not very good in athletics. I hope we will all get along."
The teacher nodded, but rose an eyebrow when he looked at Len again. "Are you related to Rin Kagamine?" He asked, pointing to Rin. Len looked over, confused, but once his eyes matched with Rin's, he blushed, giving her a warm smile. "No, I don't believe so." Rin stared at him for awhile until she realized that she was staring for too long, and averted her eyes.
"Alright then. Mitsuko Yumiko?" A girl with blonde pigtails next to Lily stood up and glared at the teacher. "I was told that I wouldn't have to speak in front of the class." "Sorry, but it's school policy." He replied, adjusting his glasses once more. "School policy my ass..." She muttered, but shrugged. "Fine. I'm Mitsuko Yumiko, I studied abroad at Oshiro University, but my grades dropped once my stupid younger brother got into an accident, so I had to change schools. I don't like talking, which is probably obvious, but when I do, I usually speak for long periods of time. I don't really care what you think of me." She sat down and stared icily at anyone who made eye contact with her.
"Last but not least is Ryo Yumiko." A somewhat handsome boy stood up and bowed. "I am Ryo, I am the younger brother of Mitsuko, and stupid? I beg to differ. I was in a higher class in Oshiro University, but like Mitsuko said, an accident happened, and now here we are. I apologize for my sister's behavior, and I hope you will treat us both well." Rin couldn't help but stare at Mitsuko. It made her curious as to what happened to make her seem so hateful. She noticed that Ryo didn't have any injuries, from what she could tell, and he didn't seem to be in pain. Rin sighed and brushed it off. It wasn't important. The teacher instructed everyone to pair up in teams of 2. Rin mentally groaned. She didn't have many friends, and she liked to learn individually. However, Rin managed to partner up with anyone, because she would not once recieve a bad grade.
"Um...Rin is it? Would you like to be my partner?" Rin stared up and saw that Len was in front of her. She was surprised that no one was surrounding him, but she noticed that everyone was around Mitsuko and Ryo. Rin stared back at Len and thought about it. He seemed interesting... interesting enough for Rin to tolerate him for an hour. So she nodded and patted the seat next to her. Once everyone was divided into groups, Mr. Suzuki instructed everyone to grab a highlighter from his desk, a knife, a small ultra violet lamp, a beaker of water, a pair of gloves and a pair of goggles. Rin got all the supplies that were needed, and handed Len his goggles. His hand brushed up against hers and she felt the warmth of his fingertips. She quickly pulled her hand away, and waited for the teacher to instruct the class.
"Now, I will go over the safety rules once more. Do not use your knife in a violent or innapropriate manner. Do not eat, drink or smell anything unless I instruct you to. Do not run with any of the supplies, especially the knives. Always wear your goggles and gloves. If any of these rules are broken, I will remove you from this classroom, and you will spend the rest of the hour in the office. Please be responsible." Mitsuko gave a smirk to the teacher, and picked up her knife. She aimed to throw it at the wall, and held it back. Mr. Suzuki gave Mitsuko a harsh glare. "Mitsuko, I will not tolerate this. Now either behave responsibly, or I will give your parents a phone call." Mitsuko just held the knife back even further. Lily, who was behind Mitsuko looked frightened, and she reached out, grabbing the knife from Mitsuko's hands. Mr. Suzuki pointed to the door, and Mitsuko left the room. "I apologize for that." He sighed.
"Now, I want you to take the knife and carefully cut open the highlighter, and reveal the material that contains the ink. Remember that these are non-toxic. Then, squeeze the material into the beaker of water. Once all of the liquid is drained, dispose of the broken highlighter, and use your lamp. Shine it on the beaker for about 5 minutes, and then you are done. This is just a minor experiment, and I know there will be better ones in the future. Remember the safety rules please. Please begin."
Rin held down the highlighter and Len cut it open, removing the outside. He looked confused. "What the...? How are we supposed to drain thi-" "You have to cut it open again so the fibers inside can release the ink." Len nodded and cut it, and handed the plastic to Rin. Rin drained the liquid into the beaker, and swirled the liquid around into the water with her finger. Len took the lamp and shined it onto the beaker while Rin counted to 5 minutes. The water gleamed aqua, and it reflected in Rin's eyes. "That's really cool." Len smiled. "What do we do now?" Rin thought for a moment. "Well, he didn't give any other instructions. Do whatever you want." Rin then took out a notebook, and started to draw. "But...uh, do you mind if I talked with you?" Rin hesitated, but gave in and replied, "Sure, what would you like to know?" "I want to know...if um...if we could be friends, maybe?" Rin cringed at the word friend. Ever since... memories flashed in Rin's mind, and she felt tears burn in her eyes. Rin didn't want to hurt Len's feelings, since he seemed so sweet, he must have a fragile heart. "...I want to get to know you better before I can consider you a friend." Rin answered. Len gave her that warm smile once again, and he repeated the words that she said to him before.
"Sure, what would you like to know?"
