AN: This is interesting...

Okay, I'm sure it's kind of obvious that this story is so cliche, but! BUT! It's Miku who has been given the dare and not Len!

Seriously, why do people always take Len to be the popular, handsome and evil guy? (With lots of fangirls)

I've had lots of ideas but I think it's better to start slow!

As for the title of the story... It's really silly. Y'know there's a shuffle option on the playlist? Well I took out my phone and set the playlist mode on shuffle, then selected my playlist. Guess the first song that came out.

Jar Of Hearts -Christina Perri.

I suppose it kinda fits. :D

Oh, I don't own Vocaloid or the song mentioned above. :D


I twirled my long, natural teal hair. Lily had a devious smirk plastered on her face. I gulped inwardly, but grinned cheekily as I placed both my hands on my lap. I leant forward nervously, balancing my petite bodyweight on my knees. Neru was simply texting again, her eyes darting from Lily to me, although her fingers blurred around the keypad of her phone. Lily stroked her other arm, pretending to think, considering for a while even though I knew her dare. Rin was playing with her white bow, occasionally shooting glances at Kaito, who was oblivious, still savouring his ice-cream. I could see Rin licking her lips together too.

"Ah, Miku, what dare shall I give you?" Lily pondered, faking a puzzled expression.

"Go ahead."

"Fine; go and date Len, make sure you get him to say, "I love you," and you know what todo."

I stared in disgust at her, but later turned towards Rin. She was shocked, her eyes widened with… glee? Her lips curled up into a smile as she clapped her hands together happily. I raised an eyebrow, turning back to Lily. Lily was the one who had brought me from the slumps, literally. While I was being mocked for my nerdy appearance, she gave me a total make-over and gave me the feeling of being welcomed. However, she was rather bitchy at times. Did I have to give in to her this time, too?

"Good! Miku will be good for Len!" Rin chirped happily.

"But you will have to dump him, in the most cruel way," Lily finished, wagging a long and slender finger at me.

I gulped, knowing what would be at stake. Lily was very resourceful. She could ruin me and everything that I possessed now, including my twin brother, Mikuo. Rin was positively hyperventilating. I reeled back a little, looking at my manicured hands.

"…Good idea. After all, he really needs to stop being so mean… Look at what he told Kaito…" Rin finished her statement with a cackle as she rubbed her hands together.

I gasped, staring at Rin. She immediately resumed her position as a cute, lovely and caring younger sister. Lily was waiting for my response. Oh well, who was he? How could I let him ruin everything that I cherished? I nodded, narrowing my eyes in a seductive manner, fluttering my eyelashes. Lily seemed satisfied. She swept her hair behind her shoulder and winked at Mikuo, who was passing by. He blushed a little and I gulped, knowing the consequences.

"By the end of the month, okay?" Lily mouthed, showing her dangerously sweet smile.

"That's a deal." I now only had three weeks left.

"And if you fail… oh well, I suppose there's no down-side for you," Lily joked.

I stood up, walking to the restroom as I prepared myself for the battle. I peeked at Len who was reading his book. At the same time, he stared back. I blushed, hunching my shoulders as I snapped out of my reverie. The electric-blue eyes pierced through me with a pain so blinding and aching that it wrung my heart. It made me feel so pathetic, under his questioning glance. I wanted to curl up into a ball and try to suppress the sour, bitter pain that surged through my entire body. I felt impure, so evil. Guilt ate into my body, mercilessly tearing my flesh apart. I sighed, knowing how much it'll hurt because of the evil deed I was about to do.

This was the moment. I closed my locker quietly and shot Lily dirty looks. She gestured to the pale blond guy and winked at me. I shuddered. The feeling of repulsion engulfed me. Still, there was no turning back. I shuffled over to Len, with a heavy weight set on my heart, sinking it into a bottomless pit. Reaching out to him, I hesitated for a moment, before poking him gently with my finger.

"Erm… Hi?" I mumbled shyly.

"What?" he demanded fiercely, pushing up his nerdy-looking glasses.

"I… I'm Miku Hatsune…" I deliberated, then blushed as I thought of how stupid I sounded.

"Yeah, I know."

"Erm… Are we in the same Math class?" I finally found a way out!

"Yeah. Why are you such a ditz? No wonder you hang out with Lily and the rest."

"… Well, see, my Math isn't very awesome, so I'll need your help…?" I wrung my hands together, hoping he'd take the deal.

"But isn't Mikuo better in Math than I am?" he challenged.

"Yeah, but you know brothers! They just don't want to teach their little sisters… And besides, I live just opposite you… Please?" I pleaded, anxiously biting my lip.

"… Fine. This Thursday, three to five?" he was now leaning against the lockers, taking out his timetable to glance at. "We'll do every Thursday."

"… But the Math exam is just two weeks later! How am I supposed to get past it with only four hours of lesson?" I almost shrieked; score for Miku!

"That's logical… how about Monday, Wednesday and Friday? We'll start today," he bargained.

"Awesome," I coughed a little, then bowed to him. "Thanks."

He grunted and then walked away, still shrugging his shoulders and burying his head into his book; a painfully familiar action that I always seemed to do a few months ago. I shuddered and sighed. Anxiously knotting my fingers, I decided it was the perfect timing for me to make my exit. Then he asked a question that I had already expected; yet I was desperately hoping that he might just forget.

"But I thought you never did bother about exams," he stated casually.

The very statement paralysed me. How was I supposed to reply? And then, as though it was my luckiest day, a thought flashed past my mind.

"I... It's not convenient right now... Later," I promised.

I was stalling, but I could almost hear the little mechanisms of my mind clicking, ticking into action. Gradually, a small plan had formed. Turning away, I walked briskly away, breathing a sigh of relief. Lily met me just around the corner, near the toilet. I almost blanched at her amused expression, but held it back and instead maintained a straight face. She mockingly clapped her hands and smirked. It fuelled my anger and disgust of her. But I reminded myself of the horrible consequences if she were to harm Mikuo and calmed down.

"A-ha; that was well done. Now, how are you going to answer his question?" she demanded, blowing her annoying fringe out of her eye.

"I have my ways, but it certainly might put you in a bad light," I shrugged nonchalantly.

"Remember your dare..." she taunted before strutting away, blowing a kiss to Gakupo, who instantly fainted.


Haha, Gakupo! At first there came a problem of Rin. I know it's weird Rin's so evil, but I think it'll be easier. Besides, she can keep tabs on Miku and immediately remind her if anything goes wrong...? So now in the 'evil but pretty girls' group, there are Lily, Miku (though she's not evil!), Rin and Neru.

This chapter is painfully short. *winces*

I think it might be quite some time before I update again... but then again, LenXMiku really needs more attention. :3

Loves,
