CHAPTER ONE

"You know what?" Miku yelled. "You're just jealous because he likes me better."

"Who do you think you are?" I shot back. "If you really were my friend, you wouldn't have betrayed me like this. I never want to see you again!"

And with that, I stormed off, leaving my FORMER best friend standing all alone.

Wait a minute. If I want to tell this story, I got to start from the beginning. You know, the proper introduction…

Hey! I'm Rin Kagamine. You know, that girl with the short blonde hair. I have the BIGGEST crush on Len Kagamine, and no, we are not related. Only one person knows: my best friend, Hatsune Miku. To be perfectly honest, I envy her. She has a caring boyfriend, Kaito, good looks, and a special "skill" that can get any boy to like her. I sometimes even see Len taking glances at her at times. I guess she is a bit flirty, but she's still a good person, right? Wrong!


There I was before school, rummaging through my locker. I wasn't focused on anything, but the memory of the day before. I was working at a local ice cream shop and Len had walked in. He had just finished volleyball practice. Even though all he really said to me was what flavor he wanted, his voice was like music to my ears and…

"RIIIINNNNG!"

Time to go to class. Ugh. As I walked with Miku to our math class, I saw Len getting a book from his locker. He turned and smiled, but not at me. LEN SMILED AT MIKU. I looked straight at her and she smiled back at him in an extremely flirty way! OH NO SHE DIDN'T.


Before I continue on with my story, I just wanted to mention: I am a drama queen. I can cry. A lot.


After school, I ran home. I didn't have to work today and I didn't have any homework either. I sat on my bed and thought about that same scene over and over again. My thoughts were all over the place. How can Len like Miku? How can Miku do this to me? Len doesn't like Miku. YES HE DOES! HE SMILED AND LOOKED STRAIGHT INTO HER EYES! And Miku returned the gesture.

I began to cry. Len was the first guy I ever liked and he doesn't like me back. Worst of all, he took interest in my best friend, and this wasn't the first time.

"You know what?" I said to myself. "Forget him. I can find someone else. There are plenty of fish in the sea."


The next day, I was going through my locker again and I felt like someone was behind me.

"Hey Miku, I-"

But it wasn't Miku standing before my eyes. It was Len.

"Hey Rin.."

"Um...Hi Len!"

"So I was wondering if you would like to..."

"To what?"

"-go out with me?"

I opened my mouth to reply but I was interrupted by laughter that came from Len's friends.

"Sorry Rin, it was a dare," Len chuckled awkwardly and ran off.

I looked off to the side and saw Miku trying hard not to giggle.

HOW HUMILIATING.
