What's this? A new story? 8D Yes. Yes it is :)
I don't own anything but the plot!
"Rolling girl, she's always in a dream," I sang quietly to myself. I checked my watch and adjusted my glasses as I headed to the small cube bus stop. It was around January and fresh snow gathered around me as I pulled my jacket closer to my body. The other students always arrived later, but they always missed the bus, so sucks for them. My name's Rin. Rin Yamabiko. I pulled my ipod out and switched to another song, this one by Miku Hatsune. She's one of my favorite artists. The previous song was also from her, but that's not important. As the bus pulled up, I carefully got on and headed for an empty seat. The bus was always quiet in the morning, but never in the afternoon, so I cherished the silence.
"Hey there, blondie." Two arms from the seat behind me wrapped around my shoulders as I felt hair brush against my neck. I sighed inwardly and pulled out my book, trying to ignore the person. "Aw, come on, blondie. Aren't we friends? Why not say hi, hmm?"
"Get off, Piko," I mumbled softly, continuing to read. Piko laughed and I felt the annoyance rising.
"Who could ever get off on you, ugly bitch?" Piko asked, laughing. I gritted my teeth and turned up the volume on my ipod. He let go and turned back to talk to his friends while I pulled my legs up to my chest and tried not to let it get to me. It really should. Ever since I moved to this city, I've been getting the same shit from people. I don't even know how I could even stand to take it in the first place. Why do they make fun of me? I don't know. Ask them. Piko Utatane is the king of Crypton High's social class. What he says is law and there's only two other people with enough popularity to put him in his place: Gumi Megpoid and Lily Sutaru. They were known as the "Royal Family" of Crypton. Their power lies in their abilities. Piko Utatane has the highest GPA in Crypton's history and one look makes girls swoon. Lily, the "Queen", was the most athletic and I'm pretty sure she was recommended for the Olympics at one point. Gumi, the "Princess", was just a rich little bitch who supported whatever the "King and Queen" did without question.
"Hey, why do you look so down?" I looked up and saw Miki's worried face above me. I scooted over in my seat and let her sit next to me. Miki always had that smile of warmth. It's probably what attracted me to her the first year I moved. I moved my head slightly to Piko's direction and she frowned. "Did they make fun of you again?" I nodded. "Oh Rin, don't let it get to you, alright? It's just their way of feeling powerful." I love Miki, but she keeps giving me the same reasons and sure, it helped at first, but once you get down to it, it wasn't the real answer. Miki Cherie was one of my best friends and she wanted to be a psychologist when she grew up, which was probably the reason she was somewhat popular herself.
"Miki, isn't it cold today?" I asked, changing the subject. "I mean, look at all the snow."
"Yeah, but don't you like the cold?" she asked. I nodded and place my hand to the window, the glass around it starting to fog up. "I guess that's where your name comes in, huh?" I nodded and the bus finally pulled up to the school. Miki and I got off and headed inside the building. Crypton High was a brand new high school that just opened up a few years ago, so everything looked brand new and beautiful. We headed to our lockers and found Neru there, texting away on her phone.
"Hey Neru," I greeted, as we approached her. She looked up and waved her phone as a greeting.
"Geez, how long does it take for a bus to get here?" she asked, sliding her phone into her pocket.
"About twenty minutes," Miki pointed out. "Anyway, Piko made fun of Rin again today."
"How surprising," Neru said, sarcastically. "Rin, didn't you stick up for yourself? I swear, you're the most passive person I know. Grow a back bone or something!" I flinched a bit, but I knew Neru meant well. She was always tough on me than anyone else, but it was obvious she was just trying to toughen me up. She was always like that, trying to help others without them knowning. That's why she was my other best friend.
"You know what?" Miki asked. "Why don't you act like Rinta? He's strong and stands up for himself." I blushed and shook my head.
"No way," I said, frowning. "If people knew about Rinta and I, they'll have more of a reason to make fun of me!" Rinta wasn't a person. He was an alter ego. He was my alter ego that I turn to if I ever just want to not be me. He takes my place and he's the opposite. Yes, I know, I crossdress. Being Rinta was my santuary. It was who I was. Because Rinta was strong, smart, dangerous. Rinta was an assassin and only Miki and Neru knew that. Miki glomped me from behind and I easily kept her on my back.
"See?" Miki asked, smiling. She jumped off my back and gave me a thumbs up, but was surprised when she heard Neru slam her fist against the lockers. "Whoa, girl. What's wrong?"
"I just got a text that someone famous is coming to Crypton," Neru said. "And apparently, she wants us to see who it is." Miki nodded and opened her locker, grabbing her lipstick from the back. I opened my own locker and shoved my stuff inside, looking myself in the mirror. My blonde hair was placed up in a messy bun and my brown frames settled on the bridge of my nose like usual. I switched out my heavy jacket with a dark red sweatshirt and baggy black pants.
"Rin, catch," Neru alerted. She through a small black box at me and I caught it, taking the ear piece from it. "There's gonna be a lot of screaming, so don't be surprised." I nodded and slipped it into my ear.
"I need contacts," I said, looking at my eyes in the mirror. "These brown ones are old." I removed my glasses and took my contacts out, replacing them with a new set. I've never needed glasses; I've never needed contacts. But that's who Rin Yamabiko was. Rinta, how ever, was blue eyed, perfect.
Except, you know. He didn't own a seed shooter.
I love wrapping things up with the very last sentence :D
Question of the Chapter: Who is this "she"?
