Hello again! Or if you haven't read the previous version of this, which you don't have to considering it was really, really shitty. I decided I wasn't happy with how it was before -my thoughts were all over the place and everyone was very out of character- and wanted to see how much I had improved within 3 or 4 years. I'm surprised it got so many reads. But, I am very terrible with update times and I'll try as hard as I can, so without further ado, please go ahead and read. :)

Be the Star! Re-make

Chapter 1: A New Beginning

...

...

...

"Miku, you know how I feel about private schools!" I whined, flipping onto my back on my queen sized white bed sheets.

I had listened to my best friend of 7 years drawl on about how great the change was from our primary pick high-school becoming a private school instead of a public one.

"Blah blah blah, rich ignorant people, I get it. But I mean shouldn't you be excited that with your terrible grades you got in at all?" A chipper voice sounded.

With a low growl I let her hear the dial tone and sat up, stuffing my feet into my fluffy bunny slippers and making my way towards the shower. With a towel in hand I locked the door and stripped down before turning the knobs to a mix of slightly average, and freezing, and stepped in. I never truly liked warm showers, cold ones keep me awake and alert, which for a 10th grade girl is pretty important. I thought -mostly out loud- to myself.

"My name is Kagamine Rin, I'm a 10th grader come next week in Saint Vocaloid Academy. I like oranges, bows, and singing." I sighed, no way I can introduce myself to new people like that. Too boring, how about something like, "I'm Kagamine Rin, I placed first in my local ramen eating contest, can play the flute with my nostrils -no demonstration needed- and I once had a best friend who I can't remember the name or face of... Maybe I just shouldn't speak at all."

After I finished I tied my hair up in a large scrunchie headband and threw on the nearest pair of shorts and crop top I found. I picked up my phone; 2 missed calls and 6 texts from Miku. I sighed and dialed her number, turning it on speakerphone as I took to painting my toenails. It rang twice before she answered in an exasperated tone,

"Geez Rinny! You can be such a pushover sometimes! It was a joke!"

I could practically hear her cheeks puffing up and I rolled my eyes, "You're starting to make me remember why I hung up the first time!" I sang to her and she laughed airily.

"Well make sure you don't hang up this time! I have juicy news. It involves," heavy breathing could be heard on the other end, "New. Transfer. Boys."

"I don't see how this is juicy news relates to either of us, considering I'm recently out of a breakup and you're taken." It's true, I was dating a boy named Rein for about 4 months, and things were fun while it lasted, but he was just a stick in the mud. Too bland for any more sparks to fly, so I woefully ended it. On good terms, obviously!

"When did you become such a bore? Boo on you, Rin. Let me talk about these cuties already! Besides, Ted totally trusts me! I'm not a cheater." I sighed and placed down the polish, now fully immersed in our conversation, I clicked my tongue for her to go on and she continued, "So, from what I've heard, Kaito Shion, remember him?"

I couldn't help but blush at the name. Kaito, Miku and I (along with our other good friends Gumi, Meiko and Luka) were really close in primary school. Little Rin had the biggest crush on him ever, and we would playfully fight often, being neighbours and all, but never acted upon it. When middle school came around Kaito got into sports while I stayed more reserved and got into band and choir. Basically things that the jocks would usually make fun of people for, but our group was never targeted, in fact we had a small fan base too. I always had this feeling that Kaito was still looking out for us, not allowing people to hurt us.

"H-How could I forget? I see him like every morning Miku." I nervously twisted the rings on my fingers as she laughed, "I forgot about your massive kiddy-crush on him! Oh man, those times were the best." I silently seethed and she continued, "Right! Well, he's got connections from like all over, friends everywhere. He's getting like a couple of transfer students to live with him since he's pretty rich and his parents are, like, never in town. And just imagine how cute they're going to be! All of Kaito's friends are already worth swooning for!"

"... So you want me to do some reconnaissance?" I could practically hear her nod and I gave a wry smile. "I am on it, Mimi-kuku!" I heard her groan at her mother's loving nickname, when a crash was heard downstairs. "Shit, I think maybe a raccoon got in again, I got to go check it out, Skype you later."

"Good luck Rin!" She promptly hung up and I pushed myself out of my desk chair and opened the door. I tiptoed to the bottom of the stairs, and looked around the kitchen. Nothing out of the ordinary, another rumble was heard from somewhere close by and my eyes darted towards the door, I cautiously creeped towards it, my shaky hands grasped the handle before gulping and flinging the door open wide, hearing it collide with something.

"Ow, you bitch!" A voice screeched and my eyes widened and I stepped outside.

"Ohmygod, I'm so sorry! Wait..." I looked into blue eyes that almost mirrored my own, and although they were the same shade, they looked vaguely familiar. It was a boy with magnificently bright blonde hair done up in a small pony tail. His shirt collar was unbuttoned revealing a slightly lanky but oddly inviting pale chest. My breath caught in my throat and I momentarily thought that maybe this blonde haired boy was my friend from long ago. Something about his appearance just screamed 'we knew each other', but at the same time I knew it didn't. I blinked twice and refocused my thoughts on the boy directly in front of me. He sized me up also and we locked eyes, before I realized that his nose was bleeding, I went to go reach out to help him, "Oh, your bleeding, I'll get something to help!"

But he retracted, "What the fuck did you do that for?!" He snarled, and I was taken aback.

"It was an accident, I apologized! Here let me help you in here." I motioned for him to step inside my currently vacant house as my mother and father had taken my younger twin siblings to the zoo.

"I think you've helped enough, god, you're stubborn. I hope there aren't more chicks like you around." He turned around and sauntered towards the steps away from my door and I stood shocked. There's no way I could have ever known this prick, I can't believe I even thought for a second that he was the same kind boy that I once fell in love with way back when.

"You just called me a bitch and stubborn, and I've known you for two minutes! I hope you bleed to death you insufferable prick! I never want to see your face again!" I huffed, crossing my arms. He stopped walking long enough to turn around and give a sly smirk, and stick out his tongue playfully in an almost, and I'll probably take this to my grave, attractive looking manner.

"That makes two of us then!" He waved backward towards me, and I retreated to my house utterly frustrated and with a new sensation in my stomach.

So there's the first chapter! It was somewhat different from the first version and I plan to keep with this misogynistic character for our dear Len, and Rin is an easily flustered strong female lead. Trust me, there will be times when you both love them and hate them. But please, if you liked it give it a review and tell me how it went, and even if you didn't I'd like to hear your feedback for it. I love going through the comment sections and replying to all you lovely people. Ciao!
