A/N: Since I felt like it... I decided to try my hand at writing a Vocaloid fanfic. Hope I did okay.
Disclaimer: Vocaloid's are not mine, but I can dream.
Len's POV
She was pretty, very pretty, but she resembled me so much it frightened me. Short, blonde hair, and the prettiest blue-gray eyes I've ever seen, prettier than my eyes that seemed to lack the vibrancy her's had. We even had the same last name.
She was cheerful, I almost always saw her with that cute smile of hers on her face. Cute as it was though, I never once saw her smile reach her eyes. As vibrant as they are, her eyes are either closed or downcast when she smiled. It bothered me for some inexplicable reason, even though it really shouldn't. I've never even talked to her before, a rarity for me indeed considering I talk to everyone.
I nearly face-palmed. We were in the middle of a test, and my mind was plagued with the thoughts of a girl I don't even know.
I sighed. 'Great, way to make yourself feel like a stalker, Len.'
Without my permission, my eyes darted to the blonde girl two seats in front of me. And, not for the first time, I stared shamelessly at the back of her head. Why was I so curious about her? Was it the strange resemblance between the two of us? The way she managed to seem so flawless in front of everyone? Her smile that is never a smile?
The only thing that came to mind was the thing I've tried to shake out of my head for weeks now, but I was open to any suggestions on why my mind was so hell-bent on analyzing her.
There was something wrong with Rin Kagamine.
And I'm dying to know what it is.
Rin's ROV
I hate people.
They're so see-through, so predictable.
There was never such thing as a person who was 'good natured' or 'kind hearted.' It's merely an illusion meant to comfort those who are too weak to handle the truth.
My perspective doesn't change, even though I have my 'friends' that are supposed to show me why I'm wrong.
If anything, they prove my theories correct.
Miku Hatsune: Cheerful, but it's an act that a blind child could see though. I always knew she was secretly insecure and jealous of Luka for no real reasons, and I knew she loved to gossip. She's secretly afraid of being alone and hates not being the center of attention, although no one else can see it, I can. Even when I got to know her, she didn't prove me wrong.
Luka Megurine: Very mature for her age, or at least she acts like it. She can hide her more childlike side all she wants, I can see straight through her. And her forbidden crush on Miku doesn't come as a surprise to me either.
Neru Akita: Obsessed with her phone (anyone could see this) and can't hold a conversation face to face if it killed her. She's an interesting person to text though.
Gakupo Kamui: Refined, definitely someone who grew up sheltered. He can act uncaring, but I know he has a crush on Luka.
Kaito Shion: He's somewhat different from what I first thought of him, I'll admit. But the fact remains that A) He loves ice cream more than he loves life and B) He acts like a total sweetheart to most people, but his eyes don't lie. If he smiles or looks concerned, I can see his eyes still remaining cold, distant. Almost like he 'genuinely' did not give two shits. The only exceptions I know of is Meiko, and possibly myself, whenever he let's his guard down.
Meiko Sakine: Is actually a pretty decent person. She's crude, rude, and a spitfire, but she can't hide from me behind that façade. She's actually shy, and has trouble expressing her emotions, so she expresses them with violence.
Gumi Megpoid: Sporty, tomboy, acts like she doesn't care about what people think of her but she's the most insecure person I know. She frets over tiny things, like hair being out-of-place, a desk not being in a straight line, etc. She's the closest thing to a true friend I have, but it bothers me when she lies. Everyone tells more lies than they tell the truth, the people I knew were no exception.
I knew myself well too. I'm a coward, I'm stubborn, I'm a cold, heartless person who wasn't meant to live in such a see-though world.
But, of course, no one knew this, all anyone knew me as was Rin Kagamine, the girl whose smile never wavers, the girl to go to for advice, the girl who kept her personal business to herself.
I didn't create this reputation for myself, but it made things easier for me. I could play into an image that no one, not even someone like me, could see-through.
Even when I looked in the mirror, and I plastered that false smile on my face, I couldn't recognize the person I saw.
So I kept smiling, laughing, playing into the image fabricated by my peers, secretly hoping that one day, someone would see through me.
A/N: It's short, I know. I promise I'll try to make the next chapter longer.
Reviews are my drug, feed the addiction. ^_^
