Hey Minna!

This is my first fanfic (I think) and I hope you would correct me if I'm wrong. My goal is to become a better writer as time goes on.

I plan on making this story short, and it's based on a true story.

I hope you enjoy!

I got in the passenger's seat of the car and slammed the door. Who the hell goes Christmas shopping on December 23!? Well, apparently some people do, including my own mother… Procrastinators… I buckled my seat belt and leaned back once my mom entered the driver's seat. I honestly didn't want to go with her, but it's better than staying home all day with a little turd of a brother, Nero. And besides, I wasn't as happy once the winter break started…

My name is Akita Rin, and I'm just your average first year student of high school. I have honey blonde hair like my father's, and his ocean blue eyes too. You also might think of this as weird, but I like to wear a white bow on top of my head. I know what you're thinking, Rin! You're 15 years old!? But that's just me and my signature. If I ever get lost in a crowd, someone I know will come to my rescue all because of this bow.

Mother started up the car, "Ready to go Rinny?" Seriously!? Couldn't people stop with the nicknames already!? "Yes Mom," I said rolling down the windows. Don't you just love the feeling of wind blowing into your face? The wind caused my shoulder length hair to scratch it… I take that back… I rolled up the window, there's always a pro and con to everything...

I sighed once I finally spotted the traffic. Damn… Why can't people do their Christmas shopping early? I turned on the radio, and the song Confession Rehearsal by Megpoid Gumi was on. Once we were finally caught up in the traffic, my mom turned to ask me, "Honey, what do you really want for Christmas?" Ugh! Here we go again. No one except my girl best friend, Hatsune Miku, knows what I really want. "I told you mom, I want a new phone," which was second on my Christmas list. Why do I want a new phone? Well…

My group and I posed as our last song ended. The crowd was cheering us on as we walked off the stage. It was our last year in middle school, and Junior Vocaloid Club was performing for the high school's graduation ceremony. Everyone seemed tired, even my friends never bothered to sit right next to me, because they passed out right on the spot. It wasn't that tiring, was it?

I pulled out my phone seeing as there was nothing to do. It was a crappy phone, but it would do. Its case was a light orange with little oranges scattered everywhere, and its home screen consists of pictures of all my friends in a collage. I smiled, I made memories with this sucky phone anyway. Someone from behind pushed me, "Hey!" Then someone in front of me did the same, "Watch it!" It wasn't until people from all sides were shoving me around, that I realized that the ceremony was over, and now parents want to congratulate their children.

Shit… I tried to weave my way pass these tall people until I felt something getting knocked out of my hand. No! I watched as my precious phone was being kicked around by people of all foot sizes. Why is God doing this to me!? I heard a snap, and found my phone… In fucking two pieces… Mother is gonna be really pissed knowing that she's a phone addict...

Yes, it was a very tragic story… "Well," Mom snapped me out of my thoughts, "You just have to wish for your Christmas wish to come true." Even though she wore a smile on her face, I couldn't help but feel empty. I smiled back, it was a fake smile, but she wouldn't notice. I looked out the window as soon as I felt the fucking tears starting. I shouldn't be crying! I'm the Akita Rin! But still…

My mother laughed, "Darling, just pray as hard as you can." It hurt, my own mother doesn't see the pain I'm going through. I finally knew why I was upset now, it was because I did pray hard this year, and last year too, for that one stupid Christmas wish that was on the top of my list. I grabbed an opal stone from my short's pocket that was similar to the one I gave him as one of his Christmas presents this year… I smiled, wiping the tears that would almost fall.

The song changed to Childhood Blues from the same artist as the previous song while my mom was trying to find an empty parking slot. Again, these procrastinators… During that time, I couldn't help but think as I stared at the opal… "Whenever you see a rainbow on it, think about me, okay?" And I did, only it was me seeing the rainbow on this stone.

I headed to the library to meet up with him like every school morning. Today was just an ordinary day, with the slight smell of rain that fell only hours ago. Everytime I see him waiting, he says I always have that skip in my step, and that I always have that idiotic smile plastered on my face. He doesn't know about how I feel though… Or does he?

"Hi," I said in a happy tone. It's always like this, and I couldn't say that I didn't like it. Today was going to be a bit different though, I had plans to drag him around while I give presents to all my other friends. And so I did, there was no playful teasing in the quiet library this morning, but only the exhaustion of chasing my other friends around the school. "There," I said while catching my breath, "done."

I glanced over to him, he was in the same position as me. He's just as handsome even when he's trying to catch his breath. I noticed that he hadn't said anything the whole time, so I guess now is the perfect chance. I took out that one last box that was in my bag, "Here." I handed him the perfectly wrapped box that I put all my love into.

I watched as his face lit up, and I swear that he has an idiotic smile too. "Wow," he said while taking the present, "thanks a lot Rinny." Stop calling me that! "And here," I held my hand out, waiting for him to take the opal stone. "What's this?" he asked. I just smiled, "I have one too," I said while showing him the look alike, "If you expose it to sunlight, you could see a rainbow." I gave him an example, "Whenever you see a rainbow on it, think about me, okay?"

He smiled. I smiled. "I guess today wouldn't be another boring one," I thought as he grabbed the stone.

"Rin… Rin!"

I looked up from the stone, "Yea?" Mom was already out of the car, ready to lock it. Oh… I never noticed we parked… I got out of the car and closed the door, "Rin, are you okay?" my mom asked with concern. I just smiled and nodded. She locked the car, and walked in the crowded mall. Geez… I've never seen a lot of people here before… Stupid procrastinators…

I don't want to explain how our shopping trip went. For one, it was crazy! What is this!? Black Friday!? And I'm not really into shopping either… Unless it was for me. It wasn't until my mom and I passed by a certain store, the place where I got him his first Christmas present, that I had another trip through time…

"Dammit Rin!" Miku complained trying to push me towards him. Pft, sorry Miku-Chan, but I'm staying right here! In my arms was a perfectly wrapped box, "But I'm scared to give it to him, Miku-Chan! What if he thinks I'm weird? He would hate me!" She stopped and looked at me in the eyes, "You never know until you try, Rinny Dear. And besides, you are weird." She's right, I'd lie if I say I didn't stalk him.

She continued to push me, telling me that I have to give the Christmas present to him myself, not her. Then Kaito, his best friend, came along and snatched the gift away. "Hey!" Miku and I yelled. Damn that BaKaito! What he did next was throw it on his face, "From your secret admirer!" and walked away. The victim held his face while staring at the box and shrugged, trying to catch up with that ice cream freak… That damn BaKaito!

Although it seems funny, it was actually pretty embarrassing. We were inside the Junior Vocaloid Club room at that time, and that club was how I got to know him and Miku… That was last year, and everyone, including him, knew that I had a crush on him… It was just so embarrassing! After that, people thought I got over him, and I thought so too, until we started to hang out more and become best friends.

Is it weird to say that I might accidentally fall in love with my best friend? I sighed, he just doesn't like me in that way, so I shouldn't. My mom's whistling ringtone brought me back to reality.

"Hello?"

"Neru! Where are you!? And where's Rin!?"

"I thought I already told you Rinto, Rin and I are shopping."

Shouting was heard in the background.

"Do you at least know where Nero's controller went?"

More shouting...

"I should be asking you that, Honey…"

"Well, you guys should come home soon then."

"Alright."

My mom hung up her phone, "Well, I guess your father needs us to save him again." I smiled as she smiled too…

So in the end, I did pray hard for my Christmas wish, but it would never come true… Stupid wish ruining my favorite holiday… There was a heavy feeling in my chest as we got in the car. In the end, he loves me as a friend... I could never have the full heart of my best friend, Kagamine Len.

Lol, am I doing something useful with my life?
