Hey guys! I can't talk because I'm busy, but here's the sequel!
Orange Lover.
"Ice Cream and Nutella"
Hey, guys, I'm back! Sorry I didn't finish my last post, there was a little bit of drama going on. Let's see - where did I leave off? Oh yeah, Rui was over and Len called...
"Oh my god, it's Len!" I said.
"Answer it!" Rui shouted.
"No...there's only one thing to do..."
"MUM!"
Yeah, that's right I told my MUM. The next day we went to the head mistress' office to get the situation taken care of.
Me and my parents sat down on a chair and my mum told her the whole story.
"Thank you for contacting me, Mr. And Mrs. Kagane. I would like to apologise for this happening to Rin." She said.
"We just want that picture taken down and whoever is responsible for it to be punished." Mum replied.
"Don't worry, one of our pupils in charge of the website gave the name of the person who submitted the pictures. Why don't you come on in now...?" She said, looking at the door.
It opened and Miku walked into the office.
"You have to be kidding me." I sighed.
"Miku, is there something you'd like to say to Rin and her parents?" The headmistress asked.
"I'm sorry..." She said – with a snide look on her face.
"Can you at least pretend you give a shit?" Dad asked her.
"Kaito! So what is her punishment going to be?" Mum asked.
"She has two weeks of detention." The headmistress replied.
"She steals my daughter's pictures and puts them on the school website to humiliate her and all she gets is detention?" Dad said looking pissed.
"Well..." She murmured.
"I'm pretty sure this is some form of bullying. Is there anyone else we can talk to?" Mum said.
'What did I get myself into?' I thought to myself.
After school.
I walked out of school and saw Mikuo at the bottom of the steps.
"Hey, Rin!" He smiled.
"Hey, Mikuo, what's up?" I asked.
"Not much, I heard about what Miku did to you. I'm sorry, she's an ass." He replied.
"About that picture...it's not what it looks like. He kissed me I didn't kiss him." I explained.
"You don't have to explain anything to me, but I can see there's a lot on your mind. Wanna go to lunch with me? Maybe I can help clear it." He said.
"That's nice of you but maybe we can hang another time. I actually have somewhere I need to be." I said, clasping my hands together.
"Oh! Yeah! That's totally fine. I'll just go eat with my brother or something." He frowned.
"Great! Well tell Oliver I said hey. I gotta get going." I said.
"Yeah, see ya around." He smiled.
I went to Len's house after school and showed him the picture on the website.
"So what was this guy's name again?" He asked, staring at the picture intently.
"Piko..." I frowned.
"Well you tell Piko he has 5 minutes." He said.
"5 minutes for what?" I asked.
"A 5 minute head start before I come over there and kick his ass." He replied, getting up and heading for the door.
"What?! Len - no you can't hurt him!" I shouted.
"He shoved his tongue down your throat, Rin. You expect me to just let it go?" He asked.
"Maybe we can just calmly go talk to him tomorrow." I said.
"Talk? Calmly? No." He scowled.
Is it weird that I think that Len getting mad is kind of...hot?
"Len, please." I frowned.
"Fine we'll talk. But if he says anything to piss me off, I'm kicking his ass." He said.
Tuesday!
I asked Neru to come with us to talk to Piko. I needed her support.
We were stood outside my house and ready to go.
"Thanks again for coming along, Neru." I smiled.
"No problem, someone's gonna have to help you pull Len off of Piko anyway." She said, looking over at him.
"Let's just hope it doesn't come down to that." He said.
"Fingers crossed. Let's get going! I have to meet my mum somewhere in two hours." I smiled.
We were about to leave when Mikuo came over to us.
"Hey guys!" He said.
"What's he doing here?" Len asked.
"Shit's 'bout to go down." Neru sighed.
"Hey, Mikuo...what are you doing here." I asked.
"You said we could hang out one day so I just stopped by. What are you three doing?" He said, looking at all of us.
"We're about to go talk to that guy, Piko." Neru smiled.
"Awesome, I'll come along. I have a couple things I wanna say to him." He said.
"Like what? Maybe none of this would've happened if you'd been keeping an eye on her. Where were you when all of this was happening?" Len asked.
"Is this guy serious? I was at the booth working. Where were you? Hooking up with another guy's girlfriend?" He scowled.
"You know what? Instead of kicking Piko's ass, I should just kick yours." Len said.
"Len..." I sighed.
"Hit me. Make my fucking day." Mikuo snarled.
"Okay, guys, I think we need to all just take a deep breath...or a shot...or something!" Neru said.
Then Dad came out of the house.
"What the hell is going on out here? I can hear you guys from the bedroom. You boys need to stop fighting...well in front my house. Is that understood?" He asked.
"Yes, Sir." Mikuo said.
"Yeah, I guess..." Len murmured.
I finally convinced Len to let Mikuo come along and we all went to Piko's house.
We knocked on his door and a white haired woman answered the door.
"Can I help you?" She asked.
"Hi, is Piko home?" I said.
"Are you friends from school?" She said, looking at everyone.
"Yeaaaaaaah..." Len replied.
"Piko never has friends over, this is so exciting! I'll go get him!" She smiled and went inside.
"Wow we're the first people to come visit the poor guy and we're going to yell at him." Neru frowned.
"I think we should just leave you guys, I'm starting to feel a little bad about all of this." Mikuo said.
"What's wrong, Hatsune, scared?" Len asked.
"I think Mikuo is right, let's just leave before he comes out." I said, and we started walking down the street.
"Rin?"
Shit
"Piko...hey." I smiled awkwardly.
"Leave her alone, alright? She's not interested." Len scowled.
"Len, man, chill. Listen, man, we were just leaving we don't want any problems." Mikuo said with his hands up and lead us away.
Then Piko's mum came out.
"Hey, honey, where's everyone going? I just put the cookies in the oven..." She sighed.
"COOKIES?!" Neru smiled.
"Neru!" I shouted.
I had to meet my mum at her friend's house, I used to do ballet with her daughter and she wanted us to be friends I guess...
I went over to the house to find Mum waiting for me.
"What took you so long to get here?!" She asked.
"Uh...see it's kind of a really long story." I murmured.
"You can save it for later. Mrs. Sweet's daughter is in the back garden waiting to meet you. Say hi and try to be nice." She said.
"You want me to walk into someone's back garden and just start a conversation with them?" I asked.
"Rin...just go." She sighed.
I walked around the back of the house and saw this really cute garden with a blonde girl stood in the middle.
"Hey, there!" I smiled, walking over to her.
"You must be Rin, I'm Ann. My mum said we did ballet together when we were younger but I don't remember you." She said.
"Oh...I remember you. You were like the best in the group but I never talked to you." I blushed.
"Thanks, do you still do ballet?" She asked.
"No, I do...nothing. I just sit at home most days..." I murmured.
"Oh...um can I get you something to eat or drink?" She smiled.
"Actually can I use the bathroom? I've been holding it since 2." I frowned.
"Yeah, just go down the corridor, it's on your right." She laughed.
When I came back from the bathroom, I heard a noise but I couldn't figure out where it was coming from.
"What's that noise? It's coming from the cellar...hmm...if I go down there I could possibly get attacked by some evil cellar child...eh, what the hell I have nothing better to do." I shrugged and went downstairs.
When I got down there this guy with black hair and glasses was playing the guitar.
"You're really good!" I smiled.
"Thanks...and who are you?" He asked.
"I'm Rin; I was just hanging out with Ann when I heard music coming from down here." I replied.
"I'm Kiyoteru. So are you one of my sister's 'friends'?" He said.
"Yeah...something like that I guess." I smiled.
"So are you out? Or still in? Or do you have one foot out the door?" He asked.
"Huh?" I frowned.
"Are you half or full?" He said.
Half or full? I guess he was asking if I was hungry.
"Umm...I guess I'm pretty full." I replied.
"Cool, cool. You like 'That 70's Show'?" He asked.
We watched TV for about 20 minutes until Ann came down.
"I see my brother has trapped you in his smelly dungeon." She said.
"Come on, it doesn't smell THAT bad!" Kiyoteru frowned.
"It smells like hot wings and feet down here, Kiyoteru." Ann frowned.
"Oh, God...it really does!" I frowned, covering my mouth.
"Get outta here, Ann, your making us miss the funny parts!" Kiyoteru said.
"I actually came down here to tell Rin her mum is ready to go." Ann said.
"Already? But I was having a good time...okay tell her I'll be up there in a minute." I frowned.
"You know since you came late and my brother dragged you down here, we didn't really get to hang. How about we hang out this weekend, maybe you can stay the night?" She asked.
"Yeah totally!" I replied.
"Aww, how cute!" Kiyoteru sneered.
"Shut up." Ann scowled.
When I got home the only person I could think about was Piko. I felt so bad.
I was sat at the kitchen counter with an empty jar of 'Nutella' and a bowl of strawberry ice cream when Mum found me.
"What's wrong, Rin?" She asked.
"Nothing, I'm fine." I replied.
"You just ate a jar of 'Nutella' and now you're eating ice cream, something is wrong." She said.
"Piko doesn't have any friends...and we were the first kids to come visit him and all we wanted to do was yell at him." I sighed.
"I'm sure he has friends, Rin, don't beat yourself up." She said, stroking my hair.
"Len was being such a jerk to him, Mum, you should've seen his face." I frowned.
"If it's bothering that much then go talk to him, I'm sure he'll feel better once you show that you care." She smiled.
WEDNESDAY...
So I took my mum's advice and went to Piko's house.
I knocked on the door and Piko answered.
"Hey, Piko! Can I come in?" I asked.
"NO." He shouted.
"What? Why?" I frowned.
"Why would I want you in my house? You brought your friends over to 'talk' to me. I heard what you guys were saying through my bedroom window. I wish you would've told me you were talking to someone else and you weren't interested in me instead of making me make a complete ass of myself. The sad part is that I actually thought I had a chance with you. You were different than the other girls and I thought you really understood me. But I guess the only types of guys you like are jocks and guys that look like runway models, right?" He asked.
"No, Piko, not at all." I replied.
"And weren't you with the guy that pretended he didn't even know you that day at the beach? I guess 'asshole' is type. Sorry I don't meet your standards. You can leave now." He said coldly.
"Okay, I'm sorry you feel that way." I apologised.
"No...you're really not." He said and then the door slammed in my face.
OUCH! It sucks because I really did mean it when I said sorry but I understand why he would think I'm insincere. Rui came over when I got home and I told her everything, she's really the only person I can talk to about this.
"He told you that? Ha! Words hurt more than a punch in the boob sometimes." She smiled.
"A punch in the boob? Really, Rui?" I asked.
"Oh, come on! You and I both know it hurts when you hit your boob." She replied.
"I'm sorry but what the hell are you wearing?" I asked, pointing to her short blue top, high waist pink shorts, fishnet tights and pink boots.
"You don't like it? All the cool girls are wearing it! I bet if I was tan and had long blonde hair I'd be sexy." She said, putting her hands on her hips.
"It looks very whore couture." I said, narrowing my eyes.
"Eh, whatever. I bet Len would like it on you." She smiled.
"Don't even mention Len. He was being such a tool to Mikuo and Piko yesterday." I sighed.
"Well what did you expect from him? He looks like a douche...but SEE you should have taken me with you!" She said.
Then Mum came in with her phone in her hand.
"Rin, I just got off the phone with Mrs. Sweet and she said you and Ann were having a sleepover this weekend?" She asked.
"Yeah, we're gonna hang out a little bit more." I smiled.
"You're hanging out with Ann Sweet? The ballerina?" Rui asked.
"Yup! You know her?" I replied.
"Yeah, she goes to my school...um you know she's-"She was saying, but Mum cut her off.
"Rui, what do you have on?! You look like you should be standing on the corner. Your mother is going to freak out when she sees you in this." She said, shaking her head.
"She's what, Rui?" I asked.
"You know what? I'll let you find out yourself." She scowled.
I wonder what Rui was going to say...she left right after my mum indirectly called her a prostitute. Well anyway, I hope Len stops acting like a jerk and Piko finds a place in his heart to forgive me. I'll talk to you all later!
Until next time...
-Orange Lover.
Next time on Orange Lover...
This one is for all you Len lovers out there ;) We see a new side of him, Rin goes to Ann's sleepover and finds out in a very awkward way she's lesbian. Len takes Rin out on a nice date and Rin's mum has a couple of questions to ask her.
