Hey guys Yen here. Sorry for the delay of chapters. I'll be starting a new story today. It's taken about a week to get it finished and ready for posting. *Sigh* Blink 182 induced insanity ¥© This will be my redemption from last stories multiple fails.

Hi. I'm Neru Akita. I'm fifteen, a first year in high school, and only have three friends—Rin Kagamina, Len Kargona, and last but not least, Teto Kasane. I wear kind'a sort'a the same clothes as Rin but less sailor-ish.

Ha ha ha ha, no, it's more of that ass-hat Miku Hatsune's clothes in but yellow, not blue/teal/what-ever-the-fuck-she-calls-it. I have lemon yellow lined arm and leg warmers, a grey tank top I suppose you'd call it, also lined in yellow, and a kind of golden blonde hair, always pulled into a long side ponytail. Apparently, Fujima High has never heard of the term "uniform". I'm oh-so-glad that they don't make us wear some uniform that would probably make all the girls look like Miku Hastune—a whore.

Some might say that I have a major texting problem. I'd say that they don't see the real me. I'm pretty much bottom of the food chain here at school. Len and Rin are second and third in the chain of popularity, on top is the whore herself. Miku Hatsune. She's the school slut, to be frank.

Everyone loves her because they honestly have no choice. Last person that didn't worship her ended up getting kicked out from a ¥500k bribe to the principal. So, seeing as she hasn't even noticed me yet, I'm off scot-free until I pull some dumb-ass stunt and get noticed.

"NERUUUUUU!" I hear being yelled into my ear.

"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!" I yell back, snapping out of my thoughts.

"It's lunch break, get up!" Len says, poking me in the side.

"Ugh, fine, I'm comin'," I say, whipping out my signature yellow iPhone. I start to text and head off to our usual lunch spot without taking my eyes from the glowing screen.

come n get eettttt :3 (holds up a massive c00k1e)

I walk up to the roof where we normally eat, easing my phone shut. I sneak on over, not even breathing. I hide behind one of the dozens of A/C units that form a grid across the school roof. Then, when they all start to sit down at the most North-Eastern corner of the rooftop, I jump out and yell at them, Teto in particular,"WHERE'S MY COOKIE, TETO?!"

"Aaaaah!" is all that Teto says, or rather, screams.

I laugh hysterically, struggling to keep on standing. "YOU SHOULD'A SEEN YOUR FACE!"

"Not funny Neru..." Teto says as she wipes a tear from her eye, very clearly startled by my appearance.

"Was to me," I retort.

"Learn to actually CARE sometimes, Neru," Len warns with a glare.

"I do care. Sometimes," I say with a slight smile, still laughing my head off inside.

"Can we just eat?" Rin asks exasperatedly, starting to peel her orange.

"Sure." I sit down and start eating the P.B. and awful J my mother always makes me. I swear, sometimes I wonder if she even cares to think that I'd get tired of this shit. Since we are from America ourselves, and my father came to Japan to try to find work, people often wonder why I eat these things, other then my mother makes them all the friggin' time.

"So, how's your day been, Len?" I ask curiously.

"Good, would have been better," he says slowly.

"Would be better if...?" I inquire, tilting my head slightly to the right.

"Well, if you wouldn't be such a texting manic and hang out with us more, it'd probably be a better day," he tells me, a very, VERY faint blush appearing on his face.

"Aww!" Rin croons, a playful smile dancing on her lips. "Little Len-Len has a crush on Neru!" Rin must have noticed it too.

"Shut up, Rin! I do not..." he says, blushing madly now, while also a banana shoved in his mouth, peel covering his face.

"Ha ha ha, I don't really care who likes me at this point," I say, flipping my wrist dismissively. "I'm trying to stay low so I don't have to be Miku's bitch like the rest of the school."

"Well then, I see. So you don't care that Len's in love you?" Teto says, smirking slightly.

"I never said I loved her, I just said the day would be better if she could be more part of our group and not her phone," Len protests.

"So... You don't love me, but you want to hang out with me," I clarify slowly, attempting to figure Len out. Bad idea, as it turns out.

"Ehm, yeah." He looks like he's disappointed.

"Awkward Teto! Just had to jump in, I'm too hyper to stay still and eat," Teto blurts out randomly, waving her hands in front of her.

"Erm. Okay...?"

"All right. That can be arranged," I reply, hitting the small power button on the top of my phone, and looking into my phone's calendar—iCal. I'll have to start marking dates so I can arrange some days to hang out with Len. Maybe around 7:30 P.M. today after school...? Nah, I have homework, not like I'll do it. Instead, I'm probably gonna go troll some idiots of Twitter.

Tomorrow, then? Sure, why not. But when? Ehm, around 8:00 P.M. would work, I think.

"'kay, I've figured it out! Unless I'm busy, we can hang out tomorrow after school; I've got things to do after school today. And also, we can hand out Friday until around 8:00 P.M., then my mom will probably call my phone to bits and pieces," I explain, adding the dates to the app.

"Are you sure it's not already in bit and pieces...?" Rin asks suspiciously, peering over at my phone.

"Nope. I may be a hardcore texter, but I don't text enough to break my phone," I assure her, holding it up.

Before anyone can reply, the bell rings. I stand up, dust my skirt with my hand, and wave slightly.

"See you guys after school!" I call over my shoulder, running off to class.

And just then I remember. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck! I left my binder up on the roof. Damn me and my forgetfulness.

I walk back up to the roof to a very weird sight...

Rin and Nero, my brother, kissing.

"Uh, sorry to interrupt you two love birds, but I left my binder." I walk over to where I left it. "And bro, don't get her pregnant, 'kay?" I say, smirking at him. My brother is kind of the school's playboy. Every other week he finds himself another girlfriend. It's getting kind of annoying, actually. Hopefully he'll run out soon.

"Fuck you..." Nero mutters, turning away from Rin for a second.

I gasp. "Incest?! I never thought you had it in you," I say, presenting my overdramatic voice.

I hurry back to class with barely any time left for anything but to sit down and wait for Sensei Meiko. Just then, she comes stumbling in with sake in hand. God only knows what today's lesson will be.

"C'mon Nero, let's get going!" I yell to Nero, who's a bit sluggish sometimes.

"I'm comin'..." he grumbles.

Then, when I mess with him a little, a slightly evil looking smile forms on my face. Nero seems to have noticed it.

"Uhhh, Neru...? Are you okay?" he asks with a frightened expression. Last time I had this look I trashed our house and blamed it all on him when Dad got home. Nero walks closer and then is right within striking distance. I quickly lunge at him, scoop him up, throw him over my shoulder, and take off full sprint down the sidewalk.

"NEEERUUUUUU!" he yells in terror the whole way.

When we got home I put him down and sit on the porch outside.

"What. The. Hell. Neru. What was that for?!" he screams at me.

"I saved time so I could get some sleep," I say, rather gasp out, as I am lost for air after lugging his ass home, although I did do it out of my own free will.

After I regain my breath, I go into my room after greeting Mom and Dad, and then flat out fall asleep.

Gooood night, Tokyo...

Let me know what you think of this intro. I spent about 4 days getting the initial writing done, and two or more revising and getting it beta read. Let me know if you guys want me to continue or scrap this story. ¥
