Hello~! Welcome to the remake of Pop punk x Pop. Myfirst rendition of the story was terrible, so I decided to remake it.I hope this one is better. I'm trying writing in third person, because I'm horrible at first person. Please read and review.

Len

"I went to a wishing well, and sank to the ocean floor

Cut up by sharper rocks, and washed up along the shore

I reached for a shooting star, it burned a hole through my hand

Made its way through my heart, had fun in the promised land"

Len was sitting alone on a park bench, listening to music. He was slowly nodding his head to the beat of the song.

"This song is pretty good. Well, it is Blink-182 after all!" he thought to himself.

It was the evening after school. Len was relaxing a bit, his guitar case leaning against him. He just came to enjoy the scenery while listening to music and to relax after his band's practice. Well, all was relaxing until he heard a voice near him.

"Hello Kagami-san!"

He turned to see who it was. It just happened to be Kagene Rin, from his school. He could only roll his eyes.

"Oh, it's you."

Ah,yes. Kagene Rin. One of the most popular girls at school. Pretty much everyone loved her. She could sing well, was nice to everyone, and had amazing grades. She was part of the popular group of students, the "Pop Divas". Len simply hated them because of the fact that they endorsed pop music and sang it as well. Len on the other hand like pop punk. He quotes, "It covers up our genre."

"Yup! What are you doing out here?" she asked.

"Trying to be alone, and most of all, trying to get away from you!"'

"Ouch."

She took her seat down next to him, making him even more uncomfortable.

"So how was you day?" she asked him

"Besides right now, it's okay. Nothing too crazy."

Len froze. Why did he answer so casually? He hated her guts right?

Rin was also pretty surprised herself. She expected a sarcastic response, or a snap or snarl from him. But he was so... casual.

"And yours?" he asked back rolling his eyes.

"It was fine I guess..."

It then was silent. The two merely sat there on the bench for a while watching the sun set in the orange sky. Then Rin broke the silence.

"So Kagami-san, tell me about pop punk. What makes you like it?"

Len laughed and let out a snort.

"You really want to know?"

"Yeah, 'cause why not?" she replied.

Len felt odd once more. Why wasn't he angry at her? Or hating on her genre? "I dunno..." He began to explain it to her.

"Well, it's a fusion genre. It combines the chord progressions and intense beats of punk rock while using very poppy lyrical themes. I'm surprised I like the genre myself because I kinda hate pop as you know. But I guess I made an exception."

"Interesting Kagami-san." "Hey, I'll tell you what, why don't we hang out more, like at school y'know?"

Len could only snort as he replied, "You know this doesn't mean we're friends right? Just because I was willing to stay here and talk doesn't mean anything." "Plus, I'm only here for the sunset, and my music. So shoo, go away."

Rin sighed as she then stood up to leave.

"Alright. It is getting dark now. Oh, and here's my phone number. Call me ok?" asked the girl as she handed him a small slip of paper.

Before Len could even respond, she was gone.

"Why would she want to hang around me?" he thought to himself. "I mean, she is one of the most popular girls in school after all. Plus, she already knows that I just hate her."

He gathered his backpack and guitar case and got ready to leave. He looked back at the bench as he left the park...

Rin

Rin entered her house, receiving a greeting from her mother.

"Hello honey. How was school?" asked her mother.

"It was fine Mom", she replied as she walked up the stairs to her room to set her things down.

Afterwards she showered, ate dinner and did her homework. She was now sitting in her room. She stared at her phone nervously remembering how she gave him her number. And as if she had predicted it her phone began to ring.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Kagene-san", replied a voice. She smiled.

"Hi Kagami-san! I'm surprised you decided to call.

"Yeah, yeah, I'm only calling to make sure this number works anyways. Now don't ever call me again unless you're dying or really need something. Bye."

Before he could hang up, he was interrupted by Rin.

"W-wait!"

"What is it?"

"Can w-we hang out t-tomorrow?" asked the girl, nervous and stuttering.

He was silent for a moment. Then he replied, "Only if I'm free. Lunchtime, near the main tables."

"Okay! Bye!"

"Bye."

Then she hung up.

"I'm so happy... I got him to hang out with me..."

She couldn't help but wait until tommorrow...

Time Skip, the next day.

Len woke up bright and early at 7:00 for school. He did the usual routine, which was to shower, brush his teeth and eat. He tied up his golden blonde hair into it's usual ponytail and put his contacts on, slowly and precisely as he did every morning.

He grabbed his guitar case and backpack and said goodbye to his Mom before leaving.

On the road to school he saw his friend and fellow bandmate Oliver, their drummer. He had similarly blonde hair and sharp yellow eyes. Being a drummer, he has a lot of energy from pounding the skins, but he gets into A LOT of trouble.

"Hey!" called out Len.

"Yo, listening to Blink-182 still?"

"You bet!"

The two had a long conversation on the way to school as usual.

"Did Kaito screw up his bass again?"

Len gave a sigh, responding, "Yup. That's why we call him BAKAITO!"

"Hey,I heard that!" said a voice behind them.

The two boys turned around to see Kaito and Gakupo walking down the street towards them. Kaito was a tall guy, with an excellent figure. He had dark blue hair that matched his eyes. Even if he played bass, he wasn't your stereotypical boring bassist. He was energetic, loves ice cream, and most of all, his bass.

Then there was Gakupo. Also a very tall person with purple hair, and deep blue eyes. Being the rhythm guitarist in the band, he and Len would always be quarreling about what fits the guitar, but were still very close friends.

"So Len, Kagene still hunting you?" teased Gakupo.

"God dammit, no!" shouted the blonde.

All of his friends began laughing and teasing him about the girl that was stuck on his mind. Oh boy...

Time Skip

It was lunch time, and sadly all of Len's friends couldn't hang out with him. Oliver had to retake a test, Kaito had to help out his club, and Gakupo was with his new girlfriend, Luka. Then he remembered his little "Promise" with Rin. I walked over and sat down at their planned meeting spot. Then, he saw her come over.

Rin

The girl cheerfully walked up to Len, giving him a friendly greeting.

"Hello Kagami-san! So you aren't busy today?"

"Yeah, all my friends are busy with crap. So what do you have on mind?"

Len was clearly annoyed. He honestly didn't want her near him at all. Sadly though, he had nothing to do.

"Ice breakers", she replied. "What's your favorite color?"

"Yellow", was his dull reply.

"Me too!"

"What's your favorite food?"

"Bananas."

"Well, I like oranges.

And it stayed like that. Rin's questions and Len's dull one word answers. That was until she asked, "Do you like anyone?"

Immediately, his face became red.

"N-no", he stammered.

"I see..."

From there they picked up a decent conversation. It was fairly normal, about classes, their hobbies, and many other things. Len hated to admit it, but he was having fun. Surprisingly, they had a lot of things in common with one another.

"This isn't so bad at all..." he thought to himself.

"You play guitar right Kagami-san?"

"Yes, I do. Why do you ask?" replied the boy.

"Well, my group and I have been needing someone to do some acoustic guitar work, and it would be nice if you could help us."

"Well, you do know how much I love pop music", replied Len. "But sure, I guess I could try."

"Thank you!" she said as she glomped the boy.

"Hey, could you get off of me?"

"Oops. Sorry", she replied as she sheepishly rubbed the back of her neck.

"And also cut the formal crap. Call me Len."

"O-okay Len", stuttered the girl. "You can call me Rin!"

"Alright then."

Then the two heard the bell ring, signalling the end of lunch time.

"Well, it was nice seeing you Len."

"You too I guess."

They then both proceeded to go to their classes after cleaning up their trash and picking up their things. Len couldn't help but smile, realizing one thing.

"You know what? Maybe she isn't such a bad person after all."

Aaaaand done! How was it? I wrote in third person and had Len be less harsh to Rin, and plus, he softened up kind quickly. I really do hope you guy enjoyed this remake.

Be sure to leave a review. This is derp, signing off. (Levecapgaming anyone?)
