"Sorry but I can't return your feelings Miku." A boy with bright neon yellow hair said as he sheepishly scratched the back of his head. "You're a really nice girl and all but I like girls who are more feminine and well, have a chest and You're...not exactly my type so..."
The teal haired girl stared at him with a seemingly blank look on her face. The wind blow gently as a heavy silence surrounded the area.
At that moment. Miku Hatsune's first love ended up...
In a complete and utter failure.
The sun was slowly setting as the school soon came to an end. The atmosphere seemed calm and peaceful as students poured out of the building to go home or spend time with their friends.
Yes, everything seemed perfectly peaceful-
"Let me die!"
If it weren't for the fact Miku was busy trying to jump off the window of the third floor music room.
"Miku! Knock it off already!" A girl with apple green hair exclaimed as she tried tugging the teal haired girl back inside. "You shouldn't end your life like this!"
"That's right, Miku! You still have a lot to live for! And you still owe me money!" Another girl with short blond hair followed with short apple green hair as she tried dragging Miku back inside as well. Her large white ribbon bopping up as if to emphasize her point. Miku's only gripped the edge of the window tightly, her foot already at the ledge as she prepared herself to jump. "Let go! Don't stop me Gumi, Rin!" She yelled.
At the sidelines, Two girls could only watch as the scene continued. One with long peach hair and the other with flaming red hair that was tied up in pigtails but were short and curled up like drills. Though the latter looked more amused than worried.
"Shouldn't we help?" The girl with peach hair questioned, worriedly. "Nah." The red head replied, the edge of her lips were twitching ever so slightly. "Lets just leave them be and just watch what happens."
The peach haired female looked doubtfully at her but stayed put and watched as well. That was until the door of the music room slid open. The two turned to see a girl -who seemed to have the aura of a mature woman- with long pinkish hair walked into the room. She paused when she saw a certain turquoise haired female trying to jump out the window and two girl trying to drag her back.
She turned to the two and raised a brow. "Did something happened?" She asked patiently.
"Hi Megurine-senpai!" The green haired female, rather known as Teto Kasane greeted. "What are you doing here?" The peach haired girl named Miki Furukawa smiled awkwardly.
"Well, As the student council president, I was just here to check up on things but then I ended walking into..." Luka Megurine paused as she turned back to the scene. "This..."
"Um, sorry about this, Megurine-senpai." Miki said. "We know that we should be going home by now but as you can see-"
That was when Gumi and Rin finally pulled Miku back inside, only for her to collapse onto the ground and sobbed...in a rather exaggerated manner.
"I can't believe he rejected me..." She sobbed. "And all because I wasn't his type! 'I like girls who are more feminine and have a chest'- What kind of guy says that! The jerk! You don't just say something like that! All men should just die!" She continued to cry (in a rather comical way) causing everyone to sweat drop.
"Miku...can you please explain why you trying to jump off the third floor?" Gumi questioned. Miku then looked over to and yelled. "I was rejected! The love of my life just rejected...all because I wasn't his type of girl!" She slammed her fist onto the ground as (comical) tears once again fell from her eyes.
"Wait, wait..." Rin began. "Masuda-senpai? You mean you actually confessed to Lilio Masuda-senpai?" At the sound of his name, Miku began to wail as she slumped to the ground, a puddle of tears began to form underneath her. Miki and Teto knelt beside her, patting her on the back comfortingly.
"Way to go, Rin." Gumi hissed. "Hey! Its not my fault!" Rin defended. Luka sighed and walked over to Miku. She then bent down slightly. "Miku-chan, can you please look up for me?" She said.
Miku slowly lifted her head. Her eyes were slightly puff with tears and a bit of snot dripped from her nose as she sniffed. Luka smiled a bit. "Miku-chan, I know what you're going through but you don't need to bother one guy."
She then finally knelt down and pat her on the head. "Yes, he rejected you but you shouldn't feel so down. You'll definitely find someone who would appreciate your feelings and accept you for who you are. Don't give up so easily. If it makes you feel better, I could treat you tomorrow? You like negi, right?"
Miku's eyes began to water once again as she looked up at Luka. "M-Megurine-senpai!" She whimpered before she leaped to her feet and embraced the pink haired girl tightly as she wailed. "Senpai! Waaah! I want a hug! If only you were a guy, I would've fallen for you instead! Men just suck! This is just so cruel!" Miku continued to wail and cry in exaggerated matter to which made everyone sweat dropped once more.
"Oi Miku, Megurine-senpai isn't your human pillow." Rin said. "She's already getting soaked from your snot." Teto and Gumi just sighed while Miki laughed nervously. Luka just smiled awkwardly as she patted Miku at the back.
"Hey, to cheer you up, how about we go for ice cream today." Miki suggested. "Yeah, you love ice cream right?" Teto added. Miku sniffled one last time before she slowly nodded.
"Alright! Let's go for some snacks then!" Gumi cheered, pumping her fist into the air. "Yeah!" Rin followed after. Gumi quickly but gently peeled the turquoise haired female from Luka before she grabbed their bags and pushed her out the door.
Miki turned to the pink haired female as everyone followed after. "How about you, Megurine-senpai?" She asked as they stepping into the hall. "Do you want to come with?"
Luka smiled apologetically to her. "As much as I would love to, I can't." She said. "I have a meeting to attend so I can't leave school just yet. Perhaps next time."
"That's ashame senpai." Teto cut it. "It would've been nice to hang out with you once in awhile." Luka smiled and chuckled. "Well, it would've been nice to join in as well." With that, she turned on her heel to leave but not before adding. "Remember to leave safely and please don't start jumping out of windows again. Being a student council president can be tiring sometimes." With that said, she quietly left.
"You know..." Rin started. "Megurine-senpai is really cool." Everyone, minus Miku nodded. "Yeah, and so mature! She doesn't even seem to be around our age at all!" Miki said.
"Not to mention, she's one of the prettiest and most popular girls in school." Teto added.
"Pretty, mature, and popular." Rin noted. "That's definitely hard to compete with...and a real blow for my feminine pride."
Gumi snorted at that. "Since when have you ever had feminine?" She questioned and Rin glared at her. "What's that suppose to mean?" She grunted. Gumi shook her head in response before she turned back to the depressed Miku. "Now then Miku-chan, let's go cheer you up!"
"Hurray..." Miku cheered in a rather depressing manner and everyone sweat dropped.
This was going to a long day.
"Miku, there's no need for you to be so depress." Miki said as they sat on one of the tables of a family restaurant. Teto and Gumi busy ordering as much sweets as possible, much to Rin's dismay since its her turn to pay and they were seemingly enjoying themselves...that was until they reached this conversation. "He's no even worth it."
"That's right!" Rin agreed. "Forget the fact he's the captain of the basketball team, he's really hot, and that he-"
"Rin-chan, not helping." Miki deadpanned. Miku sighed as she sunk down on her seat. "Yeah, I know but..." Her eyes watered once again. "Ngggh! He was the love of my life! My knight in shining armor! The prince of my story!"
"Well, your prince charming has just dumped you." Rin said bluntly, causing Miku to burst into tears again. "Rin-chan, you really need to stop doing that." Miki grunted as patted Miku's back.
"Sorry! Can't help it!" Rin said sheepishly, lifting her hands up in surrender. Miki sighed. "Anyways Miku, you should seriously consider getting a boyfriend. Someone better than Masuda-senpai."
Miku snorted. As if there was someone better than him.
"Don't worry about it!" Teto interrupted. The two turned to see the red head grinning widely as she held a spoon up. "I'll find you the perfect boyfriend then you can live happily ever after, and it will be all thanks to me!"
"You? Oh please." Gumi snorted. "If anyone I'll be the one to find her a good man."
"Since when have you been the love expert?" Teto retort. "Oh, and you're one?" Gumi shot back. The two bickered for bit while Miku, Miki and Rin simply sighed.
"Ara? Well lookie here..." A voice suddenly said. They all looked up to see two girls, one with short dark bluish hair and long lavender hair, standing a couple of feet away from their table, in their hands were ice cream cones.
"Ah, Kaiko-senpai, Gakuko-senpai." Gumi said as the two girls approached them. "Hi girls." The girl with blue hair, Kaiko Shion greeted with a sweet smile. "What you two doing here, senpai?" Miki asked.
The girl with long purple hair, Gakuko Kamui snorted a laugh, flipping her ponytail back. "Well, what did you expect with Kaiko-chan?" She said. "This girl can eat a mountain of ice cream and she wouldn't get sick at all."
Kaiko then pouted. "Hey! So what if I love ice cream, okay? Its so good!" Kaiko huffed. Gakuko simply shook her head with a look of amusement on her face before she turned back to them. "Anyways, what you girls doing here?"
"Is it wrong to have some ice cream here once in a while?" Rin half-heartedly joked. Gakuko laughed. "You know what I mean." She said. "Well, we're sort of here to cheer Miku up." Teto answered. Kaiko and Gakuko looked at them with curiosity. "Why? Did something happen?" Kaiko asked.
Before anyone could reply, a voice suddenly spoke up. "Its because the diva had her heart crushed by her crush."
They turned to the side and saw a girl with long blond hair tied into a side ponytail. She had a smirk on her pinkish lips as she held her phone in her hand.
"Neru, what are you doing here?" Gumi questioned with a hint of venom in her tone. Neru Akita raised her hand halfheartedly. "Easy now. I mean no harm." She said. "I just came here by chance. I just suddenly had the urge for some pistachio ice cream."
"You? By chance?" Gumi snorted, not believing her words at all. "As if you would be here by chance."
"Aww, are you still upset with me for selling out some of your 'classified' info to-"
"Shut it!" The greenette exclaimed, her cheeks turning bright red while the others sweat dropped. "A-Anyways, how did you know about this, Neru?" Miki asked. Neru snorted at them "Please. This is me we are talking about." She said. "Besides that...its actually already wide spread rumor in school."
Thud!
They all turned back to Miku who just slammed her head on the table with a depressed aura around her. "So..the story about me being rejected in already spread around school?" Miku mumbled, her body shook as a puddle of tears began to spread on the table. "This is the worst day of my life!"
"N-Now, now, Miku. Calm down." Miki nervously said. "Great. Now look what you did, Akita." Rin hissed while Neru shrugged. "Hey, I just told the truth." She pointed out and glanced over to the teal haired girl. "But you know Miku, if it makes you feel better, I could give you a list of guys in our school who are single and ready for the taking- for a price, of course."
"You're a cheapskate, you know that." Gumi deadpanned and Neru rolled her eyes. "Information comes with a price, you know. Besides when you're good at something, you don't do it for free." She said. "But from the kindness of my heart, I could give you discount. I'll even throw in their personal info?"
"Just go, will you!" Gumi exclaimed in annoyance and Neru sighed, shaking her head. "Fine, suit yourselves then." With that said, she turned and left. Kaiko and Gakuko were quiet and simply watched at the sidelines.
Kaiko reverted her attention back to Miku, who was still laying her head against the table and smiled slightly. "Um, I'm not sure what exactly happened but Miku-chan, you shouldn't stress over this guy. I'm sure you'll be able to find someone new."
Miku moaned in response. "Err...A-Anyway me and Kaiko need to go for now so we'll be seeing you girls." Gakuko announced as she grabbed Kaiko's wrist and walked out of the restaurant. Kaiko smiled apologetically as they left.
A few minutes later, a waitress came to their table with their orders at hand. She quickly set down their orders and bowed before leaving.
"Come on Miku, eat some ice cream." Miki insisted. "It's your favorite chocolate fudge."
Miku slowly lifted her head and stared at the beautifully decorated dessert glass in front of her. Everyone stared as Miku slowly reached out for her spoon and paused for a moment. The next thing they knew, Miku was quickly shoving a mouthful of ice cream into her mouth.
"Miku, I think you shouldn't eat that so quickly like that or else, you'll choke..." Rin quietly said as she watched her devour the ice cream with such speed. Miku just ignored her as she continued shoving the spoon into her mouth. She suddenly paused, gulping down the ice cream in her mouth before she sighed.
A few seconds later...Miku exploded.
"Ngggh! That's it!" Miku suddenly exclaimed, slamming her spoon onto the table, making the three girls flinch at the sudden action. "I don't need a bastard like him in my life! In fact, I don't need a man in my life! I can go on without depending on those stupid men! Who needs a guy! I don't need to cling on some guy! Men should just rot in hell!" She curled her hand into a fist as fire was literally blazing in her eyes.
The girls sweat dropped at her announcement. "M-Miku, I think you should calm down." Teto said as she noticed people around them were glancing at their direction curiously.
"Ah, she suddenly changed..." Miki muttered as they watched Miku punch the air with resolve. "At this point...she might transform." Gumi remarked as well.
"Well, at least she's feeling better..." Rin shrugged as a certain turquoise haired female continued to cause a big scene, much to their embarrassment.
"Ne, Rin-chan can I go over to your house for a while?" Miku suddenly asked.
It was already getting dark and they all decided it was time to got home. Miki, Teto, and Gumi decided to leave in the opposite direction and said their goodbyes to one another. Miku and Rin on the other hand, lived close to each other so they would always walk down at the same direction.
"Huh? I don't mind." Rin replied as they walked down the pavement. "You really shouldn't ask at this point. You're like family to us anyways."
"Well, I don't wanna be rude you know." Miku smiled slightly. "But are you okay now?" Rin questioned. Miku then sighed. "Yeah somewhat I guess." She said before she furrowed her brows. "I just can't believe he would reject me so...ugh!" She groaned, tugging at her pigtails in frustration.
"Miku, calm down. Its over now." Rin said. "You should just forget about that jerk and find a new love interest." Miku frowned. "Easy for you to say." She grumbled.
"What happened to all that energy and talk about not needing a man, go?" Rin arched a brow at her. "Just because I said that, doesn't mean I'm completely over him, Rin." Miku sighed heavily.
They soon stopped in front of Rin's house and Rin reached out to open the door. "I'm home!" She called out and a girl who looked similar to Rin stepped out of the kitchen. She had blond waist long hair that was tied to a high ponytail and wore a school uniform, different from theirs with an apron over it. "Welcome back Rin." The blond haired girl greeted as she wiped her hands onto the apron.
"Hey Lenka-nee." Rin greeted back as she stepped into the house, followed by Miku. Lenka spotted the teal haired girl and grinned. "Oh hi, Miku-chan." She waved to her and Miku smiled and waved back. "Hi, Lenka-san." She said.
"I didn't know you were coming over. I hope my little sis didn't cause much trouble...again." Lenka said and Rin huffed. "Hey, what's that suppose to mean?" Rin pouted and Lenka laughed. "Oh nothing." She waved it off and glanced back to Miku. "Why don't you relax at the couch while I get you some snacks, alright?"
Miku nodded and walked deeper into the house with Rin behind her. They soon spotted a girl around their age with short black hair, laying lazily on the couch as she flipped channel from channel on the TV. She didn't bother to look up as she greeted just as lazily. "Hey, its been awhile."
Miku laughed awkwardly. "Um, nice to see you again Rui-chan." She said as Rin glared at the black haired female. Rui Kagene is Rin and Lenka's cousin who was staying over while her parents are working overseas. But due to reasons (involving a massive amount of pranks here and there) however...Rin disliked her mischievous cousin. Something Miku knew all about.
"Rui, you know we have a guest so move your butt and let her seat." Rin sneered. Rui snorted as she stretched on the couch and pointed at the side. "There's a loveseat over there you know." She said. Rin grunted in irritation. "That still doesn't mean you can take the entire couch, you cow."
Rui scoffed loudly. "Really? Cow? That's the best you can come up with?" Rin was burning with annoyance and anger and opened her mouth to argue until Miku quickly intervene. "I-I'll just go sit at the loveseat." And Miku briskly sat down on the loveseat at the side. Rin sent one last glare at Rui before she sat next to Miku.
There was a slight pause among them before Rui began. "So I heard you got dumped." She said bluntly which was like a stab to the heart for Miku. Miku let out a chocked gag before she held her chest and bent forward from the blow as a depressed aura surrounded her once again.
"How do you even know that?!" Rin demanded. "You don't even go to the same school as us!"
Rui flipped her phone open and showed them the screen. "Akita-san sent me a message just now." She explained. "She even sent me the picture of the guy Miku got rejected by." She scrolled down the message, showing them a certain blond haired boy which made Miku moan pitifully.
Rin frowned and swatted the phone out of Rui's hand, causing it to clatter loudly at the side. Rui gasped in shock and glared at her cousin. "Hey! That phone isn't cheap!" She grunted as she got up to retrieve her phone and check for any damages.
"You deserve that." Rin growled before she turned back to the depressed girl. "Just ignore her, Miku." She said. "She doesn't know when to keep her mouth shut, just like Neru."
"I'm right here, you know." Rui huffed. "I'm not talking to you!" Rin snapped.
Miku then sighed. "No, no its fine." She muttered. "Its true, I got rejected for the stupidest reason so...it can't be helped."
Rin stared at Miku with a slight worried look. "Um are you...sure youre ok?" She asked hesitantly. Miku nodded weakly. "Yeah..." She muttered. "I'm just..just..."
Miku's eyes watered and once again she began bawling (in a very comical fashion). Rin and Rui blinked in shock at the extremely emotional girl. Miku suddenly leaped to her feet and dashed out of the house. "Wait Miku!" Rin exclaimed after her but she was already half way down the road.
Rin stared out the front door in shock and confusion. What the heck just happened?
Miku grumbled as she walked down the road. She must've looked like an idiot back there but she couldn't help it! Her emotions got the better of her but it wasn't entirely her fault!
She met Masuda-senpai when she was freshman when she got lost on the first day. He was so kind and friendly to her that she couldn't help but to fall for him...but to think he would reject her for such a shallow reason.
She sighed as she thoughtless strolled forward until-
Bam!
Miku was soon sitting the ground, let out a short silent yelp as she held the forming bump on her forehead due to accidentally walking into a light post. Ugh, this was sooo uncool...
"What the- Miku?" Miku froze at the familiar voice. She slowly looked up behind her to see a woman with short brown hair staring down at her. She held a plastic bags in her hands and the tops of several tall, green, glass bottles poked out of the opening of the bags.
"M-Meiko-nee." She squeaked as she jumped onto her feet. "What are you doing here?"
Meiko raised a brow at her. "What do you mean? We live under the same roof so of course I'd go the road here as you." She said. "But I never expected to see a certain teal haired little girl running into a light post on my way home."
Miku flushed deep red at that. So she saw that? How embarrassing.
Meiko Sakine is actually a family friend who is six years older than her. Her parents often leave to overseas due to their work so they would often leave her to Meiko.
Meiko is like an older sister to Miku and she enjoys being around...except when she has a drink at hand but that's another story for another time. Meiko actually owns a small cafe often forcing Miku to work as a waitress there once in while but again, that's another story...
"Anyways Meiko-nee, where have you been all day?" Miku questioned as she curiously looked at Meiko's outfit which was a fitted red dress, something Meiko doesn't usually wear unless it was for an occasion. "Were you with your boyfriend today?" She asked.
Meiko scoffed in reply. "Him? Nah, I broke up with him two days ago." Miku looked at her with surprise. "You broke up with him? But you just started dating him a week ago!" She exclaimed and Meiko shrugged. "He was way too clingy. He wouldn't stop calling me so I just ended it."
"But wouldn't he disagree with that or something?" Miku said and Meiko scrunched her nose. "Oh he disagreed alright...so I had to make it clear to him...with my fist." Meiko answered and Miku sweat dropped. "Uhuh..." She muttered. "And the reason you are dressed like that is because-"
"I met someone new." Meiko said with a proud but mischievous look on her face, causing Miku to sweat drop even more.
It was no surprise that Meiko found someone new so quickly. Meiko is a very attractive woman and had tons of admirers waiting in line just to go on a date with her. Miku was always envious of the attention Meiko gets from men but there are times she was relieve she wasn't as popular to men as her.
But more importantly...
Miku glared at Meiko's large chest and curvaceous body with envy. Meiko was obviously the type Masuda-senpai likes...
"Miku, is something wrong?" Meiko asked. Miku flinched for a second and quickly shook her head. "No, no,no nothing's wrong at all." She nervously laughed.
"Running into a light post isn't exactly what a person who says 'nothing's wrong' would do." Meiko said dryly which caused Miku to fall silent. There was short pause between them before Meiko sighed. "Fine, you don't have to tell it to me right now." She said and Miku sighed in relief, only to stop when Meiko added. "You're explain it to me when you get home."
Miku groaned. There was no way she could get out of this. Once Meiko wants to know something, you better spill everything or else...
Miku sighed once more as she followed after Meiko down the street.
"Pffft hahaha! So you got rejected by this Masuda person all because you didn't have a chest!" Meiko laughed loudly while Miku laid her head against the counter of the cafe with a depress but slightly annoyed expression on her face.
"Its not funny." Miku grumbled. This was why she usually doesn't want to talk about her problems to Meiko...especially when it comes to her love life. Rather than comforting her, she basically just laughs at her face like this. The jerk.
"This is just way too hilarious! I never thought I would hear such a hopeless failure in a confession!" Meiko snickered as she wiped the tears from her eyes from laughing too much, while Miku was silently wallowing in her depression in front of her.
Meiko knew this wasn't the time but she couldn't help but feel amuse whenever Miku felt depress like this. The girl had so much emotion. Such drama! It was always funny to watch the girl sob with so much exaggeration.
Miku just grumbled. "Ahaha, look Miku I get how disappointed you are that your first love rejected because of a stupid thing like that." Meiko said. "And I'm not going to say some typical thing like there might be someone better or you'll find someone better but trust me, you'll get over it soon after."
"Yeah, Yeah I know." Miku grunted. She had heard the same things from everyone. 'You'll find someone better'. 'You'll move on soon' and 'You'll find a better boyfriend than a guy like him.' and so on. It was getting a bit tiring to hear them over and over again.
"Meiko-nee can I ask?" Miku said. "How do you deal with a heartbreak like this?" Meiko snorted at the question as if it was a silly question. "Never happened to me actually." Meiko responded, causing Miku to frown. Not the answer she was expecting.
"But if it ever does happen..." Meiko continued before she pulled out a large bottle of sake from behind the counter. "I just take a large gulp of this and it's all better."
Meiko then lifted the bottle to her lips and chugged down the sake before she let out a loud sigh of contentment. "Nothing beats sake to drown your worries!" She cackled, not noticing that Miku has already opening the door which connected the cafe to the house and that she already left.
Miku dragged herself up the stairs towards her room where she threw the door open. She slowly moved towards her bed and flopped over it with a sigh. Today has been a really, really long day.
She turned towards her wall where several picture of Masuda-senpai were placed. Miku's face crunched as she got up and began ripping the pictures off her wall with vengeance and other deep, cliche words that could describe her feelings right now.
She then threw the picture at a corner somewhere in the room before she stomped back to her bed. Miku sighed deeply as she sat onto her soft bed. If only she had like someone better than Masuda-senpai...no, she can't imagine it. She fell back onto her bed and rolled around as she frowned.
She wasn't sure how to feeling right now. She wanted to cry and possibly create a river of tears or something but in the same time, a part of her just wanted to curse and yell in anger. Maybe she was having mood swings or something.
Miku sighed before she took out her phone to check for any messages or something like that...and sure enough, there were.
Most of them were from her friends...Rin especially.
Miku cringed a bit. Well she wasn't really surprised. She did after all ran out of her house after her...little outburst. She'll have to apologize to her tomorrow.
Miku then paused and stared up at the ceiling. Now that she thought of it...her friends seem to have much better luck with guys than her.
They were actually quite pretty and are unique in their own way. It still surprised Miku that none of them has a boyfriend yet. She began to wonder what would happen if they started dating someone, although...it would be ice if they were gu-
No. Miku shook her head. No, she was not going to even think about it. Miku moaned at herself. "I can't believe I would be so desperate that I would imagine my friends as guys." She exclaimed before she rolled to her side. "Haaa, I wanna have a boyfriend already!" Miku cried out as she rolled around her bed in frustration.
What she didn't notice was a figure watching her from the window silently before it snickered and disappeared out of sight.
A/N: Haaa, this is probably the longest prologue I've ever made. Anyways lately things have been pretty busy for me that I rarely have time to update any of my stories (Shocker of the day *sarcasm*) but I hope you would forgive me ehehe.
This is just a prologue but in the next chapter (spoiler alert) I'll finally be introducing the male character of the story, which I'm pretty sure you guys know who they are.
In my opinion, this prologue was a bit...messy, especially with Miku's mix emotions..then again when I wrote this I had mix emotions as well due to stress. Ugh.
Happy (Belate) Halloween guys. Its funny because it was my birthday the day before Halloween. It feels weird that everyone is celebrating my birthday by wearing scary costumes and hanging creepy decorations everywhere. Yeah, definitely weird for me.
Anyways I hope you guys will enjoy this chapter and hope you'll read the next one soon (when I have time...if I ever have time)
So until then, Farewell.
