MikuMiku High

Chapter 2

Kaito's POV on the next day

My day seemed to go by so slow. I had seen her again, the girl who came up to me yesterday. Her name was Miku. Finally, the last class before lunch was gym. The teacher had gone on a boring lecture about rules, regulations and demerits, blah, blah, blah. It was the same crap I had heard since I was a freshman. Soon, it was time to socialize. I had no one I really knew that well, so I just sat alone. And then, she walked up. Her green pigtails swayed behind her.

"Hi Kaito," she said.

"Hi…um…Miku is it?" I asked unsure.

"Yes," she said, "How have you been?"

"Bored," I said, "Look, can we talk more at lunch?"

"Sure," she said, flashing me a smile, "I'll talk to you later."

Miku walked back, her hair flipped past me. I sat mesmerized for a while. I could have let her sit and talk for a while, but I had no idea what to say. I wanted to know about her. Soon the bell rang and I went to my locker. I grabbed my insulated lunch box which my favorite ice cream was in. I saw her waiting for me.

"Sorry, I'm a bit late," I said, "I had to go to my locker."

"That's fine," Miku said.

"So, how has your day been?" I asked.

"Okay I guess," she said, "just so boring"

"I'm sorry to hear that," I said. We had talked the whole time, she told me about her siblings, her future plans, her love for leeks and a few things she wanted to do while she was in high school. Just then a girl with dark pink curly pigtails walked up. "Hey, Miku," she said.

"Oh, hi Teto," Miku said, "I didn't know you had this lunch period."

"Oh no," Teto said, "I have the one after this. I just was able to come early, because of my counselor appointment."

"I see," Miku said, "Well, I'll try to catch up with you later. By the way, this is Kaito, Kaito, this is Teto. We took music lessons together."

"Hi Teto," I said.

"Yeah, nice to meet you," Teto said, "Miku, call me later. I wanna talk to you about this guy I met."

"Okay," Miku said, signaling to me that she was insane. Teto walked off, and Miku and I walked to her locker.

"So, Kaito," Miku started, "do you IM?"

"Not often," I responded, "just with my brother Akaito when he's away at school, and with my aunt who lives far away."

"Oh," she said, "well, maybe we can exchange IMs and talk."

"Sure, I guess," I said, unsure. I took out a piece of paper and write down my IM User ID: BlueIceCream05

She wrote down her User ID: PrincessLeek01

"Nice name," I said

"Thanks, yours is too," Miku said, "I'll try to get on and add you, assuming my brother isn't hogging the computer."

"Okay, hope to talk to you later," I said.

"See you later," Miku said, and she quickly wrapped her arms around my waist, hugging me. I'm not comfortable with hugs, but I did not want to hurt her feelings, so I stood there and accepted her hug and then we went our separate ways to our classes.
