"Eh, so we welcome you all to Seihou High!" The principal on the stage started his long speech about the school. Miku sat in the back of many students, yawning silently in her seat. The opening ceremony was talking way too long for her taste, especially since she's not a person who can sit and listen for long periods of time.
She was a 1st year in high school, actually, it was her first year in any kind of school. She received her education in the orphanage that she lived in. So opening ceremonies were new to her; and very long and tedious. When the ceremony was over, she stood up, stretched, and brushed off her skirt.
It's finally over! She thought to herself in relief. She looked around curiously at the fellow students of her new school. Many students had already found themselves a companion for the school year; Miku decided that is the first thing she should do now-find a new friend.
As the hordes of students started walking back to their classes, Miku bumped into a long pink haired girl.
"Uwah! Sorry!" Miku stepped back from the girl.
"It's okay." The girl replied flashing a small smile. Her voice was mature, like an adult's.
Without thinking, Miku asked suddenly, "Are you a 3rd year?" Seeing her flinch, she realized what she said and covered her mouth. "Uh, sorry, if that offended you or something..."
The girl looked surprised at first, but then her expression melted into another warm smile. "It's okay, I get that a lot. But never so suddenly," She chuckled slightly. "I'm Luka, a 1st year. You?"
"Oh, I'm Miku, a 1st year as well." Miku replied. She was surprised that Luka was a 1st year, she really looked nothing like one. Her expression gave her an aura of dignity. If she were to dress in a business attire, she would probably be mistaken for a real working adult.
"Oh, really? What class are you in?" Luka asked.
"Uh... 1-C I think."
"Haha, what a coincidence, I'm in that class too!"
"Really? Nice~"
Miku smiled as she continued talking with Luka. Initially, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to find any friends, but surprisingly, things were going pretty well so far.
Miku and Luka walked into their class and brought their bags to the window seats.
"So... Miku right?"
"Mhm?"
"Did you do anything with your hair?"
"Uh... No?" Miku took a strand of her teal hair and started to twirl it around her fingers.
"Oh really? Well hey, I guess we're similar, in a way."
Miku was about to open her mouth to ask what she meant, when one side of the class erupted with a sound of girls' laughter.
Both Miku and Luka turned their heads to look at the source of all that noise.
"I heard there was a popular guy in our class. But I didn't know he was that popular," Luka muttered.
Miku looked around the class. Every girl except for Luka, another girl, and herself, was crowded around that person.
Wow. Miku thought in surprise. The guy in the middle had a well sculpted face, golden hair tied into a mini ponytail and deep blue eyes.
"Popular much?" Miku commented with a small laugh.
"Yeah. I heard he's the son of the Kagamine family."
"Kagamine family?"
"Yea- Wait. You don't know the Kagamine family?"
"No, I've never heard of them...?"
"They're the family that owns the business DECO 77!"
"DECO 77...?"
"The most famous clothing brand in Japan?!"
"I... wasn't aware of that until now~"
Luka blinked in surprise. This was unexpected. But she didn't press on the subject. "Well, he is the son of that company. He has a sister as well. I believe she is the sister." Luka pointed at the other girl not in the crowd, who was reading with ear buds in her ears. She had long golden hair with an equally pretty face.
The only major difference were the eyes. Both had blue eyes, but the brother's eyes had more of a warm glow, where the sister's were dark and ominous.
"I heard she doesn't do well with people, unlike her brother." Luka muttered quietly.
Miku stared at the girl sitting all alone. On impulse, she walked over to the girl.
"Hello! I'm Miku!" Miku smiled.
The popular guy looked up from the crowd of girls he was talking to. The sister looked up from her book as well. Luka was startled by the sudden move.
"I was wondering if it was lonely here all by yourself; wanna join Luka and I?"
"..." The girl looked at her, confused.
"Miku, I don't know if you should.."
"... Sure."
Luka looked shocked. Her brother was also pretty surprised. The class suddenly fell silent.
Miku grinned. "Yay~! What's your name?"
The girl got up, taking her bag. "Rin."
Luka's mouth was still hanging open after what happened. Rin put her stuff down next to where Luka was sitting.
The door of the classroom opened and the teacher walked in.
"Wow, it's rowdy in here huh? Alright class, everyone please find a seat."
The students started separating and sitting down. Rin's brother took his belongings and left the seat he was originally sitting in and moved next to Miku's seat despite the protest of some girls.
"Hello, my name is Kagamine Len. I'm just a bit surprised that you actually got my sister to join your group?" Len started talking to Miku.
"..." Rin silently turned away.
"Haha it's nothing~" Miku responded.
Luka glanced at Rin who turned away and isolated herself. She tapped Rin's shoulder and she responded with a sideways glance.
"Is he usually like that?"
"...Yeah."
"Haha, oh by the way, I'm Luka." Luka extended her hand out for a shake.
Rin nodded and slowly shook Luka's hand. "Rin."
A mutual understanding came between the two girls as they clasped hands.
Miku and Len glanced at their handshake and smiled.
It was a sudden meeting and introduction, but Miku was glad she did it. She couldn't stand seeing Rin sitting all alone.
Miku chuckled on the inside in celebration of the 4 of them meeting. Hopefully it will turn out well for the 4 of us~
