(A/N: I'm taking a break from Prison Punk for a bit. I was looking through some of my stories and found this, read it, and wanted to die. So I'm revising it. Adding in more details, and making it easier to understand ~or so I hope~ I don't own anything!)
Rin could still feel him on her.
His unwanted touch.
That smarmy smirk that stayed on his face the whole time.
The worst part was that she had to see him every day. Every day. No escaping him.
…
It all began when Rin was starting high school. She would've been completely, and utterly lost if she hadn't stayed with her brother. They had most of the same classes, but he couldn't be with her the whole time. She made exactly two friends the first half of the day. They were both in her choir class. Luka Megurine, who was a quite popular senior, with an even more popular boyfriend. Her second new friend was Miku Hatsune, an energetic sophomore with a passion for music. Sometimes she could be just a bit too hyper though.
At lunch, she stood in the middle holding her orange shaped lunch box, looking around for anybody she knew. Len was nowhere in sight. When somebody grabbed her hand, she looked up to see Luka's gentle, smiling face. "Come, sit with me and my friends. Your brother's with us, too." Luka invited, brushing a light pink strand of hair away from her face.
Rin nodded in relief, and followed Luka through the crowded high school cafeteria. She stopped at a table next to a large window, where four other people were sitting. Her brother was one of them. She slid in next to her brother, and Luka sat next to a boy, who Rin assumed was Luka's boyfriend as they held hands. He had beautiful blue hair, and pretty eyes that matched his hair. He gave Luka a kiss on the cheek.
"Hey Rin!" Miku cheerfully greeted. "I didn't know if you would find us at the back! Plus, there's so many people here, and there's hardly any room to walk through here."
"Well she did, and that's all that matters. I'm Kaito, by the way. Luka's boyfriend." Kaito spoke up, giving Luka's hand a little squeeze, and reaching over to smooth down some hair on top of her head.
"I'm Gakupo, Luka's younger brother." The purple haired guy introduced himself. Rin wondered how long he had grown out his hair. Would Len ever grow his hair out that long? It's not like it was unattractive, just unusual. Gakupo sat next to Len, and across from Miku.
"I'm Len's twin, Rin."
The six of them chatted amongst themselves for the rest of their lunch period. Rin was kind of sad when she realized it was over.
…
"I hate the bus!" Rin dramatically proclaimed, resting her forehead on the locker beside Len's. When he didn't respond she made an extra loud groan. "It's so boring and I just hate it so much."
Len rolled his clear blue eyes. "You aren't supposed to enjoy it." He shook his head, and continued shoving his books into his backpack.
"They could at least try to make it enjoyable!" Rin groaned, crossing her arms. "I mean they could install a TV, or something."
Len just rolled his eyes again.
"Do you kids want a ride?"
Rin looked up into Kaito's wonderfully dark blue eyes. "Um." She oh so eloquently said.
"Really?" Len seemed pleased a senior would be willing to drive them home.
"Of course! I have nowhere better to be." Kaito lazily grinned. "Where do you kids live?"
Rin was getting a little annoyed with him calling them kids like they were children. She was fourteen! A teenager! But she relayed their address anyways.
The older male's smile grew. "That isn't too far from where I live. In fact, I pass it on my way home."
"And you would be willing to drive us there?" Len eagerly asked, pushing his last binder into his yellow backpack.
"Course! Sometimes I drive Luka and Gakupo home though so the back seat might get a little crowded some days." He laughed. His laugh was deep and musical. Very pleasing to the ears.
"It's fine." Rin waved him off, kind of glad she would be seeing him more. It's not like she liked him or something. That would be ridiculous. He had a hot girlfriend who was his age. She was just a loser freshman, who couldn't act right in front of a hot guy. A girl could dream though, couldn't she?
"When you're done getting your stuff, Len, I'll lead you guys out to the car." He drawled, leaning against the locker adjacent to the one Rin was slumped against. Rin blushed and stared at the floor to hide it. She was sure he caught sight of her blush though. With her pale face it was hard not to notice when her cheeks reddened.
Len slammed his locker door shut, and jumped up. "Ready."
Kaito offered a hand to Rin, and she gratefully took it, nearly fainting as his warm hand encircled her small hand. "Let's go." They walked through the school to get to back parking lot, occasionally having to dodge straggling students.
The ride home was filled with Len chattering with Kaito. When Rin got out of the car, she could've sworn Kaito winked at her, but she brushed it off. Why would he?
…
The rest of the semester passed by quickly. Rin occasionally caught Kaito staring at her, but he would always look away whenever she looked back. She was getting especially frustrated because it seemed like he would go out of his way to kiss Luka in front of her.
Right before Winter break, Len informed Rin that he was going to have Gakupo and Kaito stay the night that Friday. Rin tried to ignore the fluttering in her chest. A hot guy staying the night at her house? Maybe he slept shirtless.
"You mean a slumber party?" She teased, giggling when his face burned red. "With Gakupo?" She added with a coo, pinching Len's cheeks. It was rather easy to tell her twin liked the purple haired male. He always looked like he was about to faint whenever Gakupo talked to him, and if they made contact, Len would blush so hard. Gakupo seemed oblivious though.
"N-no!"
"Mhmm. Just make sure to keep it down!"
…
"Oh hey Rin. Am I early?" Kaito worried, standing in her front door, a large messenger type like bag over his shoulder.
Rin shook her head, and subconsciously touched the white bow on the top of her head to make sure it looked good. Why hadn't she put on something better than ratty sweatpants? "You're just on time!"
He grinned. "Great."
Rin moved out of the doorway to let him in, he wandered in. "Nice house." He complimented, his fingers tracing the wall as he walked.
"Thanks. Len is setting up his little game box or whatever in the Den. Pizza is in the kitchen."
He leaned next to her. "And where is your room?" He whispered in her ear.
Rin's eyes went wide, and she stepped back. "You're so weird." She shook her head, before hurrying up to her room, feeling his eyes stare into her retreating figure. She stepped into her room, and slammed her door shut. He had never acted like that before.
She vegged out on her bed watching anime, only half listening to the TV. She eventually just had to mute it so she could listen to them.
"You're totally killing my K to D ratio!" Len whined.
"Well if you had a good game, like Halo or something, I wouldn't be!" Gakupo quipped.
Rin wanted to slam her head into the wall. He hadn't spoken the whole time! She had heard him laugh, but that was it. She was yearning to hear his voice. She looked to her glowing clock. 12:30.
"I'm going to sleep. Night." Len yawned.
"I am too." Gakupo decided.
"I might as well." Kaito added.
Her heart fluttered again at his voice, she knew it was wrong to like him. Especially since she was best friends with his girlfriend. And it wasn't like she disliked Luka. She really liked the older girl. She was so kind and so nice and so pretty and so smart, and Rin just felt inferior to her, even though Luka had never purposefully done anything to make her feel like that. She decided to turn in, and shut off her television. She laid in bed, trying to sleep.
Somebody was snoring downstairs, loudly, and she wondered if that was Kaito snoring. She turned to face the door, and closed her eyes. It was impossible to sleep! At least with Kaito just downstairs.
Her door cracked open, the bright light from the hallway blinding her for a second.
(A/N: I'm quite happy with this. ^o^)
