The Boy in the Woods

Summary: Kagamine Rin is a reclusive student enrolled at Crypton High School. However, when she wakes one night to a strange sound from the woods nearby, will her curiosity to venture inside drive her out of her nature? LenxRin

"Have you ever wondered what could live outside your door?" quoted my Chemistry teacher, Hayate Sensei.

Being a Monday morning, most of my classmates would stare at him, bored and scowling. They each were trying their best to get their tiny brains to process that pinch of information. For me, though, the thought hit me like a bull's-eye. I proudly raised my hand and spoke, "Not really."

In my past 14 years of living, not one was wasted enjoying the outdoor world. Why would I do that? The indoors has so much more to offer! There is television to watch, air conditioning to keep you cool, heating to keep you warm, screen doors to help keep the bug and other creepy crawlies out, and my most favorite of all, computers to play on. Yes, I'm sort of an electronic junky, but at least I don't smell like a great portion of the world does.

Back to Biology—I managed to get a giggle out of most of the class, but Hayate Sensei wasn't the bit amused. I could see a dark red vain pulsing across the room on his forehead, signaling a future of tongue-lashing.

"Miss Kagamine, would you like to see me after class?" ooh he was trying to hold it back.

"Not really." I said again, knowing I'd probably regret it later.

"That's it! I've had it with your stupid remarks!" He threw his hands up in exclamation, and then pointed towards the door.

"Get…Out…" He gritted his teeth.

I wanted to say, "Or what?" but I didn't.

I reluctantly pushed myself up from my desk and walked over towards the door.

Slamming the door shut behind me, I stepped out into the slender hallway and grumbled to myself about Hayate Sensei.

I forgot to mention—I have a problem. I don't know when to keep my mouth shut, and I feel rather bad about it. However, what was I to do to get my point across? It was just my opinion! Well, I guess I could have worded my response differently…

I remember when I first started my years in high school; Hayate Sensei was my favorite. The thing that brought me down about him was that he didn't understand me.

No one understands me…

Except Miku.

I heard a door shut somewhere down the hall towards my left, and saw a teal-headed, pig-tail girl come skipping out of it.

"Ugh, Rin, what did you get into trouble for this time?" She asked. What a coincidence.

I crossed my arms, leaning up against the wall, puffing, "I gave some back talk to Hayate Sensei."

"Oh, that's all?" She seemed a little surprised.

"Yeah, it was actually just my opinion this time…"

"What did you say to him?"

"I told him 'Not really' when he asked the class about the 'outdoor wonders.'" I used my fingers for quotes.

"Oh…" She sighed, shaking her head at me, "Yeah, I was thinking about you the whole time he said that question to our class and what you would say."

"Oh?"

"Yes. You're very open-minded aren't you?"

"You didn't know that by now, Miku?" I asked, frankly shocked.

"JK." She giggled, "Anyways, I gotta run to the front office. See ya, and try to be good for the rest of the day."

"I'll try." I smiled at her, and I waved her goodbye as she walked down the hallway.

Miku has been my friend for the shortest time since she moved here. I think she's friends with practically everyone because she's so understanding…so nice…so pretty…

I wish that was me.

I wish I was anything but me.

Life isn't that way though. You're locked in your own body forever—until you die of course.

I'm sure Hayate Sensei would be coming out in a moment or two to give me one of his classic lectures about respect after he gave the class a PowerPoint to copy.

Till then, I wait.

I didn't edit much on this chapter, but i revised a lot in the later ones. I hope you find time to read this story further again and tell me what you think about the changes! Thanks!
