My name is Rin Kagamine, and for my whole life, I have felt there is a missing part of me. One that I could never be whole without. I would pretend it was there- in my younger years- pretend I actually had someone to talk to. You see, I was an only child, and sometimes it was hard for me to connect with others. But I soooo wanted someone to reach out to me. Someone that could be my everything. Someone that if I ran off to cry, and no one else cared, would run and find me right where I was. I had almost given up on finding that person, but I always kept that dream in my mind. Cliche? Maybe it sounds that way, but you haven't heard my story yet. Trust me. You'll understand then.

It was finally Saturday. Thank goodness! This week had been especially grueling, with an essay here, and a little friend drama over there. I was just glad that I could finally settle down into a calm, stress-free weekend. So I was lying on the couch, eating a nice, juicy orange, and typing up my newest song idea. You see- writing is my way of relaxing. Go ahead- call me crazy- but for me, writing is the best therapy. Especially when it's some sort of music. Literally- my parents tell me they would wake up to me singing every morning when I was just an infant! Music is my life, and even though it sounds crazy, every time I sing, I swear I can barely hear another voice singing with me in harmony, just in the back of my mind.
So anyways, I was delving full into my do-nothing day when I got a text from my best friend.
TO: Rin Kagamine
FROM: Gumi Megpoid
Goin' to the pool. Wanna come with?
Of course I did! I mean, forget do-nothing day! I'd basically do anything to get out of this stuffy, quiet old house every one in a while! I knew my parents would kill me if I left without asking them first, but... they were out of town, plus I was afraid they'd say no. So I just went by impulse, and replied.
TO: Gumi Megpoid
FROM: Rin Kagamine
Yeah! Your parents picking me up?
TO: Rin Kagamine
FROM: Gumi Megpoid
Yep, be ready in 10
She didn't have to tell me twice! I ran up to my room and threw on my orange and yellow onepeice, white cover-up, and flip-flops, and was ready to go in five minutes flat. I waited on my porch swing for the rest of the time, swinging my feet back and forth and humming some song I had stuck in my head.
Soon, Gumi's mom pulled up, and I got in the backseat next to my green-haired friend.
"Hey Mrs. Megpoid. Thank you so much for giving me a ride." I said. I always try to be polite to my friends' parents. They always have seemed to deem me an acceptable friend, and as long as I can keep that as my image, my parents are happy.
"Oh, no problem Rin! Anytime!" Gumi's mom replied.
Gumi and I carried on some idle chit-chat until we finally arrived at the community pool. Gumi's mom went off to put some stuff in a locker, as the two of us began to wade out into the nice, cool water. I swam to the center of the pool with energetic strides, taking in the calminng scene. Calming, that is, until Leon and his possy showed up. They were that one abnoxious group of teens every high-school has, that you hear coming before you see them. Leon and his friends are only freshman, like me, but they somehow already think they rule the school. Worst part is, they've always had it out for me. As soon as I heard them, I tried to duck down under the water before they saw me, but it was too late.
"Hey Rinny-chan!" Leon shouted across the pool, as if he was superior. "What are you doing here?"
He hadn't been there ten seconds and I already wanted to kill him.
"Why?" I question. "Do you own the place now?"
Leon and his friends got in the water , and were gradually getting closer to us.
"Oh, so cute Rinny." Leo said, his devious smile thickening. "Trying to act bigger than us."
"Hmm. Is that what I'm doing? Cause I'm really not sure that I'M the poser in this equation."
Leon and his crew were standing right in front of me now. Some of the delinquents were snickering, but Leon just kept that smile- which I hated so much- plastered to his face. I could tell that he was fuming on the inside though.
"I don't know Rin." Leon said in an overly-sweet tone, as he reached out and touched my cheek, and I resisted the urge to backhand him. Then he continued, with a rougher tone. "But at least my bark matches my bite." At the same time he spoke the last word, two of is friends grabbed my arms, and I struggled to get away from their grip.
"Gumi!" I yelled, only to turn around and see that they were holding her back too.
"Let's see how your pride feels now Kagamine!" Leon yelled.
I looked desperately up at the lifeguard's chair, but no one was on duty. Then, before I knew what was happening, the two boys plunged my head down into the water, and held it there. I thrashed around, trying to get them to loosen their grip, but to no avail. I was running out of air, and within seconds, my lungs were burning. I heard Gumi scream my name, and Leon laugh menacingly. Those where the last two things I heard before it all started to go black, and somewhere in my clouded subconscious, I felt two arms grab me gently.
Please rate and review! I would love any comments or suggestions. Thanks for reading! Next chapter coming soon!
