Summary: Aah love, it's a very simple word yet who knew it could be so complicating? Two of Rin's best friends, Gumi and Neru, like the same guy, Len. But the person Len secretly likes is Rin, who has a crush on his best friend, Mikuo, who thinks Rin's pretty annoying (for now) and is also the brother of Len's ex-girlfriend, Miku, who still has some feelings for Len but is currently dating Piko, the boy which Rin's other best friend, Miki, always loves to torment.

Author's extra note: I know the summary seems confusing, and I'm sure the story will be as well. I'm not a very good author and I admit that y writing skills suck. But please excuse all my possible mistakes. I'm a newbie here so please don't hate me. Oh by the way, even though this story seems to be very confusing, it's actually based off a true story which happened last year at my school. Although, I don't think the ending will be the same here. Please enjoy!
It's Called Love
…
It was another great day at Crypton High. The sun was shining, birds were singing and the flowers were blooming. Well, not exactly; it was the complete opposite.
The female blonde sighed as she turned away from the window. She definitely hated rainy days. She always had a lot of trouble getting home; she couldn't spend her break times outside and she absolutely hated the surprising roar of thunder that would make her squeak and jump out of surprise. She groaned as she dragged her feet to her classroom.
Once she arrived at the always busy classroom, she was glomped by a certain green-haired girl. "Oh Rin-chan, I have something amazing to tell you!" she squeaked as she jumped up and down excitedly.
"Woah, calm your carrots Gum-gum. What happened?" Rin asked with a smile. "Wait, good news for me or good news for you?" she asked before Gumi could respond to her first question.
The green-haired girl giggled. "For me, Rinny-chan," she grinned.
"Of course it is," Rin told herself.
Gumi giggled once again. "And as for your first question, I'll tell you that later." She winked and turned away from her friend but before she could walk away, Rin grabbed Gumi's arm.
"You mean me and Neru later," Rin winked at Gumi. "If you want, I'll tell her for you," Rin let go of Gumi's arm and started walking away herself.
"Actually, no." Gumi's words caused Rin to stop her tracks and turn back to look at her. It was strange; at first Gumi seemed so happy and excited, but all the happiness and excitement seemed to just disappear and turn to seriousness.
"Wh-what?" Rin asked, a little nervous seeing Gumi's dead serious expression which she almost never shows.
"Well..." Gumi turned away from her in a somewhat hesitant way. "This news is for the two of us only," she said, still not looking at Rin.
"B-but why?" Rin asked, now more confused than nervous.
Gumi then turned to look at her. The face she was making was enough to make Rin flinch. "Just please don't tell Neru," Gumi said and finally left.
Rin stared at her retreating back, still as confused as ever. Many strange thoughts filled her head like 'What was going on?' and 'Did they fight or something?' but all her thoughts were disrupted when she was glomped again.
"Oh Rin-chan! Today's definitely the best day of my life!" the voice of Rin's other best friend, Neru, exclaimed with the same amount of joy and excitement Gumi showed before.
"Oh hey, Neru." Rin smiled as she looked at her.
Neru squealed as she gripped her friend's arms, almost enough to rip them apart from her body. "You won't believe what just happened to me this morning!" she squeaked.
"Let me guess, it has something to do with Len-san?" Rin asked her knowingly.
"Yes," Neru said dreamily. "This morning, when I was on my way here in class, I accidentally dropped my books and-and-" Neru was shaking with excitement.
"-And Len helped you pick them up?" Rin finished for her, thinking that she'd have trouble on finishing on her own.
"Yes!" Neru practically yelled. Rin giggled, Neru may seem very quiet and shy at first, but she's a total fangirl when it came to Len. "I can't wait to tell Gumi! By the way, where is she?" Neru asked Rin excitedly.
"Well we just talked earlier, so she can't be far," Rin told Neru.
"You're right! Ooh! I think that's her!" Neru exclaimed before she practically ran past Rin.
Rin's morning mood had changed. The excitement of her friends was enough to make her happy. She let out a contented sigh as she sat down on her chair.
"Excuse me Rin-san."
The male voice Rin heard was enough to make her freeze. "Y-yes Mikuo-kun?" she asked nervously as she turned to the teal-haired boy behind her.
The male tealette raised a brow before talking again. "May I borrow a pen from you? Mine doesn't work well anymore," he asked her.
"Y-Yes you may!" Rin exclaimed, slightly surprising the boy. Rin quickly opened her bag and quickly grabbed her pencil case. To her disappointment, she only had one pen. Rin completely froze for a moment.
"It's okay if you don't have an extra pen, I'll just borrow from..." But before Mikuo could finish, Rin had already shoved the only pen she had almost right at his face. Mikuo took a step back and stared at the pen the girl was holding up for him. Her face was red and her eyes were tightly shut. Mikuo rolled his eyes and took the pen from her, barely muttering a 'thank you' before going to his own seat.
Rin placed her head on her palms and sighed dreamily, but her moment of paradise didn't even last a second before she started panicking. She didn't have a pen. She looked around in a worried way. "Oh hey, Rin." Her moment of panic stopped once her eyes landed on Miki, another one of Rin's best friends. But even though Miki was Rin's best friend, she wasn't Gumi and Neru's. The only friend Miki had in their group of BFFs was Rin.
Here, let me explain to you. Yes, Gumi, Rin and Neru are the trio of BFFs but that didn't mean they can't have their own differently grouped friends. Neru's other best friend was Haku, one of the sexiest girls in the school; Rin and Gumi think she's a bad influence, but Neru says she likes her because she can pretty much relate with her in a strange way. Gumi's other best friend is Meiko, another super sexy girl in school. Gumi says she's pretty nice, sweet and caring but the two blondes just think she's too aggressive. Rin's best friend is Miki, Neru and Gumi thinks she's pretty mean, but Rin thinks otherwise.
"Oh Miki! I'm so glad you're here!" Rin exclaimed worriedly. "Please lend me an extra pen!" the girl begged.
"Let me guess? Hatsune-kun asked you to lend him a pen again?" Miki asked as she placed her hands on her hips.
"Aah, you know me too much, Miki-chan," Rin giggled. "Now please lend me a pen," Rin begged again.
"Fine, fine, hold your horses" the redhead sighed as she took out an extra pen for her friend.
"Thanks Miki-chan, you are definitely an angel sent from above to help me in times of need," Rin complimented her friend, which definitely made her pride grow.
"You're damned right I am!" Miki crossed her arms proudly. Rin was just about to say something else when a certain white-haired boy passed by. "Oh, Piko-chan's here." Miki let out a sadistic grin and walked away from Rin and towards the boy.
Rin rolled her eyes in expectation and then placed her gaze on the teal boy she loved. She felt so happy looking at the boy, the way his teal hair was usually so messy, a few of his buttons were unbuttoned and the way he always managed to look cool. Rin dramatically sighed and went off to dreamland as she saw him open his mouth and talk with his friends.
It's Called Love
Mikuo groaned as his friends kept laughing endlessly.
"Haha, oh Mikuo, have you seen that face she made? Haha, come on, it was hilarious!" his red-haired friend, Akaito, laughed as he slapped his right shoulder.
"Ooh, Mikuo and Rin sitting under a tree" Gakupo, the purple-haired one, started singing.
"K-I-S-S-I-N-G" the red-haired sang with him as they continued laughing.
"Oh shut up, you two," Mikuo scolded them coldly, surprising the two boys a bit.
"Huh? But Mikuo, you usually laugh at this with us, come on, sure not the tree part but don't you find the way she keeps fangirling funny?" Gakupo asked him, now confused.
Mikuo let out a sigh "Well, at first it was funny, but now it's just bothering me," he told them.
"Why?" Akaito asked him, earning him a glare from the tealette.
"Well one, now it's really hard to borrow a pen without her being a complete fool in front of me; two, many people think I like her back and some even think of us as a couple and three..." Mikuo paused and took a quick glance at the said blonde which had her eyes closed and drool falling off her mouth. Mikuo shrugged before continuing his statement "And three, who would want a girl like her having a crush on you?"
The purple-haired boy and the redhead exchanged glances before laughing hysterically again.
"What now?" Mikuo asked, annoyed.
"N-nothing, it's just that- that-" Akaito wanted to finish his statement but he just couldn't stop laughing. Mikuo grunted and felt someone's hand on his shoulder.
"Hey 'kuo, what's up with these two?" Len, Mikuo's best friend, asked.
"Hey Len," Akaito and Gakupo said, gasping for air.
"Did I miss anything?" Len asked confused.
"Nah, nothing out of the ordinary at least," Mikuo told him.
"Ah, it's about Kagamine-san again, isn't it?" Len said.
"Yeah, you should have seen her face a while ago! She was drooling!" Akaito said with a clap of his hands and the two friends started laughing again.
"What I don't get is how you find the way she acts funny," Len told them.
"I find it annoying," Mikuo admitted as he raised his hand.
"Len, darling, don't you find it funny when Neru reacts like a fool whenever you do something to her, like for example, brush past her or something ?" Gakupo asked the blonde male, snickering.
"Not really, no," Len replied honestly.
"Oi, don't mention Akita. Someone around here might get jealous," Mikuo smirked as he looked at Akaito.
"For your information Hatsune, I don't like or even care for that chick, I think she's too boring for me. I'd rather go for girls like Haku or Luka, the ones with fat-chests and hot asses," Akaito said defensively as he crossed his arms and looked away.
The three other boys chuckled.
"Oi, I never said it was you dumb ass," Mikuo laughed.
Akaito looked at them with a blushed face.
"Haha, oh goodness you sure made a fool out of yourself now Shion," Gakupo laughed as he slapped a hand on his forehead.
"W-well, what about you and Megpoid, huh? I think we can say the same for you, otaku*," Akaito said, the blush slowly fading away.
"Megpoid? You mean Gumi? What about her?" Gakupo asked him.
Akaito let out a smirk once he realized everyone was now paying attention to him. "Well, going to her desk at least once a day, sometimes sitting near her during lunch and I doubt you didn't make any chemistry at chemistry class," Akaito winked.
"Come to think of it, you're right. Gakupo, you have been spending some time with Gumi," Len said.
"Ooh, Gakupo and Gumi sitting under a tree," Mikuo started taunting. "K-I-S-S-I-" But before the group could finish their song, Gakupo had stopped them.
"Sh-shut it! I don't like her at all, the only reason I get close to her is for homework and stuff. You don't seriously think I'd date some chick like her." Gakupo shrugged but his face was just as red as Akaito's.
The group finally finished laughing once the bell rang. Everyone hurried to their seats as the teacher entered the room. "Good morning class," the teacher greeted them.
"Good morning Hiyama-sensei," the class chorused as they stood up and bowed.
The teacher let out a hand signal for them to sit down. "Alright, class," the teacher said, but at the end started coughing and sneezing. Everyone's eyes widened in shock, sure it was normal for anyone to get a cold in this weather, but it wasn't every day you see your teacher losing it in front of the class.
"Hiyama-sensei, are you alright?" two of the students from the back of their classroom stood up, ready to help.
Their teacher waved it off and positioned himself better. "Yes, I'm fine, no need to worry." He cleared his throat. "Anyways, before I start today's lecture, I am going to tell you that I'd be assigning a new group project, regarding this week's lesson, of course," he said.
It didn't take long for the silence to disappear. Everyone was talking and asking people to be part of their group or wondering about what they were going to do or make.
"Alright class, quiet down, please quiet down," their teacher said as he made a few hand gestures to quiet the class down. "Some of you may have already planned on which group you want to be in, but unfortunately, I'll be choosing who is going to work with who," he said, eyes roaming the class. He saw a few of the students pout or quietly complain, but he just simply ignored it. "Alright, now let me announce the groups," he said, clearing his throat once more.
"Group one will be …" he started out as he looked at the students again. "Group one will be Kamui Gakupo, Masuda Lily, Momotaro Momone and Megpoid Gumi," he said.
Gakupo grinned victoriously, sure the other members of the group were a bunch of idiots but with Gumi there, it's obvious they'll have atleast an 87% average.
"Group two will be Shion Kaito, Shion Akaito, Megurine Luka, Sakine Meiko and Yowane Haku," the teacher said.
The Shion brothers cheered happily knowing that three hottest girls in the room were their partners.
"The third group will be Furukawa Miki, Hatsune Miku, Utatane Piko, Defoko and Hatsune Mikuo."
Piko groaned but gave his girlfriend, Miku, a bright and loving smile.
"Fourth group will be Akita Neru, Kagamine Rin, Kagamine Len, Kasane Ted and Kasane Teto."
Neru squealed once she realized both her crush and best friend were in her group. Rin rolled her eyes but right after, she saw Len smiling as well. 'Could he possibly like her back?' Rin thought. She then turned and smirked at her excited best friend, this was going to be one heck of a project.
It's Called Love
After their teacher announced the groups and what their project was going to be, he went on with the lesson. There were seven groups but Rin stopped listening to the teacher right after he told them which group she belonged to.
Class was just the same as always. Although, Hiyama-sensei dismissed them early so that they could talk with their group mates about the project. Rin was just about to make her way over to Neru and her group but she felt someone grab her arm and pull her away from her tracks and into the janitor's closet.
Rin struggled a bit to fight the person's strong hold. "Hey, let me go! I'm innocent; who are you?!" she cried.
"Relax. It's just me," she heard the extremely familiar voice say calmly, but almost angrily.
"Gumi?" Rin gasped as she turned to face her green-haired friend. What Rin expected to be a proud smirking face, she saw something different, she saw that her friend's bangs which were usually kept up with the use of her special hair-gel covering her eyes, upper teeth biting down on her poor bottom lip. "Gumi?" Rin asked again, this time more frightened.
This time, Gumi flipped her bangs away from her eyes before responding "Sorry did I scare you?" her tone was teasing, but her voice wasn't.
"What's going on?" Rin asked awkwardly. A moment of silence. Rin opened her mouth to ask again but she stopped when she heard sniffles. "Gumi? Are you crying?" she asked, taking a step forward. Even though Gumi already brushed off her bangs from her forehead, Rin still couldn't see the expression in her eyes.
"N-no, some dust probably got in my eye." Gumi let out a shaky laugh.
"Oh, I see," Rin said.
"Anyways, I'd like to tell you my secret now," Gumi said and crossed her arms.
Rin didn't feel well. First, the janitor's closet was so small and crowded and second, the expression Gumi had was confusing and almost frightening.
"Rin, I think I am infatuated with Neru's crush."
...
What?
