I check my watch and look around for my best friend, and forever crush, Rin. We've been friends since elementary school when I saved Len from a bully. She is the most adorable, smartest, nicest human being on the planet. I couldn't have asked for a better friend! Or a better girl to fall in love with. Yes, I'm so lesbo! Judge if you must! But the only problem with me being gay is that my family is so Christian that it isn't even funny! My parents at homophobic and my little brother says he'd shoot a homo if he ever saw one, he is only five years-old though, so you can't blame him. I feel a cold breath on my neck and I jump back. My other best friend, Luka, was right behind me with a grin on her face.
"Hey, Mimi!" She says with her toothy grin.
I smile back. "Hey, Lulu! Whatcha doing?" I ask as a swing my bag back and forth.
Luka laughed. "Nothing! But I have to go! See you, Mimi!" She chimes and runs to the school.
Luka is so adorable, too! She's lie my big sister! She's only a year ahead of us. Len, Rin, Piko, Neru, and I are all freshmen, Luka, Lily, Rana, Teto, Oliver, Olivia, Miki, Yuuki, and Akaito are all sophomores, Kaito, Meiko, Lola, Leon, and Haku are juniors, and SeeU, Sweet Ann, Cyber Diva, Aria, Gumi, and Nero are all seniors. I'm gonna cry when the seniors leave and then the juniors and then the sophomores and then we'll be the only ones left...
"Miku~!" Said a velvety voice. I turned around and Piko, Len's bet friend, was behind me.
I looked at him with a smile on my face, but anger in my eyes. Piko is probably my least favorite person due to his annoying attitude and play-like skills. "Hi, Piko~!" I respond in a annoying voice and a giggle at the end.
"Waiting for Rin, I assume," he says as he is now beside me and we are looking out at the other students.
"Who else would I be waiting for?" I scoff.
"You could be waiting for Len," he says to me with a sly look on his face.
Ew... I thought to myself. "Well, if you want Rin, you get Len," I reply with a rolling of the eyes.
"Heh, yeah..." He says with a blush across his face. I look at him oddly in a way that tells him to spit it out. "Oh... Um..." His face is now red and he is stuttering a lot.
"You like Rin, don't you?" I ask him while I cross my arms in frustration.
He hangs his head solemnly. "Yes..." He admits. "Please don't tell her..." He pleads.
I smile when I see Rin and Len's heads bobbing up and down the small hill on the street. "Now why would I do that?" I reply. I was ready to tell someone. I don't care if he hates me for the rest of his life, I'm going there.
"Maybe you want Rin to have a boyfriend," Piko added.
I smiled and looked at Piko just as Rin and Len were coming. "Now, why would I want Rin to have a boyfriend if I want to be Rin's girlfriend?" I say sleekly. Piko looks at me with wide eyes. I turn around and run I Rin and link arms with her. "Morning, Rinny!" I squeal as I giggle. I glance at Piko and he is staring at me while we are walking. I lift a finger up to my lips to show him not to tell.
I love messing with people!
I find it quite strange out I was put in the same class as Len and Rin was put in the same class as Piko. Piko is my worst enemy-in love- and he was going to find the easiest way to win over Rin, but,of course, I can get closer to her because I've slept in the same bed as her and held her hand and hugged her and slapped her butt (it's a fun joke) before. Piko? We, Rin hates Piko! Piko is always with Len-when he isn't with her- and always getting close to him. Now Rin, being the over protected sister that she is, thinks Piko is gay and wants to date Len, so-naturally- she doesn't like Piko.
"Miss Hatsune?" Said a voice that snapped me out of my daydream. I looked up at the teacher with wide eyes. "Do you know the answer?" He asks with pursed lips.
"Uh...three?" I reply in questionable tone. Laughs from my fellow pupils arose from the crowd. I felt a small blush creep up on my face. I place my hand on the back of my head and laughed a little.
"No, Miss Hatsune, the answer is five..." He says with a sigh.
"Hey, better two off then twenty," I say with a big grin. My teacher sighs and shakes his head. He continues on with the lesson as quiet giggles still float around the room. I zone out, once more, because why not? What else do was I going to do anyway?
Ring ring ring
The bell already, wow! Just think about zoning out took long enough for me to make the bell ring.
I got up out of my chair and walked out the door to see the ever so happy Neru and Len walking down the hallway. They make me sick. I ignore my NOTP and continue walking towards Rin's classroom and see her rubbing her arms. I walk up to her and she smiles at me happily. "Lunch?" She says with a smile. I
nod. Knowing Rin, she'd probably listen to my endless blabbering or sleep. We walk slowly to the classroom as I tell her all about what happened today in class. Once we get to the lunch room, I feel a presence behind us. Sure enough, Piko was walking with his other buddies to the lunch room. I ignore them and I sit down with Rin, who falls asleep right by her brother. I shake my head and eat my lunch.
"Hey, Miku!" Says a peppy voice. I look up from a leek sandwich to see Luka with a smile, as always. We engage into a conversation about various things and often change the topic.
Luka is in to talk to because she gets me! She doesn't sleep every time I get to see her and she doesn't just listen to me when I talk. Rin does all of those things. In many cases, Luka is a better friend than Rin. But I don't want to see Rin as a friend anymore, that's the point I'm trying to make.
Ring ring ring
Man, these bells just like to get me today! We all file back to our classes. Next was gym class for us. Yay...
I'll spare you the details from the dressing room information and just fast forward to class.
We all stand in a circle and stretch when the teacher comes in. "Okay, class!" Says the teacher. "Since you all know, Mr. A is dead, you will all now be having the same extra class as the class above you!" I feel excitement rise inside of me. Rin could be my partner for... EVERYTHING!
The other class files in. Rin looks adorable with her red bottoms and white shirt.
"Partner up with someone and get a ball and start passing! Girl and boy!" Says the teacher.
I see Rin look over at Len, who is being mobbed by other girls. I casually walk over to Piko and grab his arm. "My partner," I demand.
Piko smirks. "But why wouldn't I want to be Rin's partner?" He asks.
I pull him to the teacher. "Because using your sex as an advantage is unfair," I mumble to him. We grab a ball and begin passing. I occasionally look over and see Rin wondrously looking around for a male partner. I see Len being dragged by Neru to the balls. He stops her in her tracks. He says something. She rolls her eyes.
I believe I see a spark flutter through the air as I see the whole shabang.
Len sees Rin-alone- getting a ball from the teacher. He goes up and grabs the ball out of her hands and says something. Neru rolls her eyes and asks if she can pass with a friend.
But the entire time...
I'm looking at Rin smile at Len in a way that she never has smiled before. In a way that I smile at her. Something about her smile says I'm happy like this. Her cheeks are blushed a bit as Len smiles and tells jokes to her. Rin giggles.
This... Can't be...
It could be possible that Rin...
No way! The are siblings! Siblings don't like siblings! It's impossible!
I push the thought out of my head and decide to just ask Rin after school. It would be the wise thing to do.
"Oi! Dum face! Throwit straight!" Says Piko as he snaps me out of my thoughts. I scowl at Piko.
"Okay! Let's stop passing!" The teacher says. Everyone stops and starts to put the balls away. "Next is...running! Get in pairs of two-boy and girl- and start running around the track, together," he tells us.
Before Piko could make a move, I grabbed him by his collar and pulled him back towards me. "You're my partner...STILL!" I announce. He groans. I let him go.
We all go outside and I see Rin still blushing as Len talks to her and makes jokes. At one point, I see Len touch her hand and lock their pinkies together. Rin was really on fire now, but Len-being the calm, cool, and cole rice guy that he is- was still as white as chalk.
I ignored the two again.
It's not real...
I will not believe it...
We run... I say nothing to Piko. I do not feel like handling his bullshit now.
Gym is done now. I find Rin after class. We have a fifteen minute break, thank god. We go to an open area where there are few trees and no people. I look up at the sky. The blue color reminded me of Rin's cloudy eyes, which I was afraid to look at now. How could I be so rude to jump to the conclusion that she had a crush on Len? Why would I even think that? Well, now that I got her alone, I should just confess right now...
"Hey, Rin..." I being as she looks at me with her cerulean eyes. I muster up the courage and look into them. I begin to freeze up. I'll just ask the Len question instead... "Um, do you.." No, I'll confess. No, Len question!
"Do I...?"
JUST SAY IT!
COME ON!
SAY IT!
I CLOSE MY EYES.
"Miku?"
OH MY GOD, I AM SUCH A PUSSY!
"I HAVE TWO QUESTIONS FOR YOU!" I say loudly. She looks at me, stunned.
"Y-yes?" She asked.
I shake off the feeling of nervousness and feel the question boiling inside. "Do you have a sexual attraction towards anyone in our school?" I ask quickly. Rin looks taken back. Maybe I was right...
Her blush comes across her face along with a longing look. "Yes..." She admits with her face down like she had just robbed a bank and she admitted it.
"Who?" I ask with a lift joy yet sadness in my face.
Rin looks around like she was about to lie. "Fine. Can't hide secrets from Miku..." She murmurs to herself. I'm on the edge of my seat. "Will you hate me?" She asks with a stern look.
I nod. "Cross my heart and hope to fly, shove a cupcake in my eye!" I tell her with a giggle at the end. She gives out a weak laugh, too.
"Um... Okay... I can trust..." She murmurs to herself again. It's really strange though. Rin never talks to herself, she just isn't that kind of person in general. "Um..." She leans over and begins her statement. I am shocked what I hear.
In the smallest voice in the universe Rin croaks out in a sob voice, "Len..." I lean back and my eyes widen.
Both knowing Piko would never have Rin fills me with joy, but knowing I will never have Rin, fills me with anger. I stand up and smile and point to Rin. "I KNEW IT!" I say. Rin looks at me. "I SEE HOW YOU LOOK AT HIM! IT'S OBVIOUS!" I laugh. Rin just looks down. I slide back next to her and pull my arm around her for a hug. "Guess we are a jacked up bunch of kids!" I laugh.
"You're perfectly normal, Miku. I'm just a piece of trash..." Rin says in a shushed tone.
"I fell in love with a chick. I'm pretty messed up..." I admit. Oops! Now Rin is going to want to know who's...
"Who?" She asked as she escaped my grasps.
Called it...
"Don't freak out-and don't hate me- but it's you!" I laugh. Rin looks at me with a smile she gives to Len.
"Well... I guess we are jacked up..." She says with a giggle. We laugh until the bell rings.
This was a pretty good day...
Is what you think I would say...
I hated today. I learned my best friend has a crush on her brother, I'm fighting a war that cannot be won between neither sides, and Rin and Len will be in the same gym class as me. Len has always been, but still. When the day ends, I plop down on my bed and wrap myself, like a burrito, in my sheets and covers. I stare out the window at the beautiful sky.
"I will do anything- and I mean anything- in my power to make sure Rin lives the happiest life she can. If that means not being her friend-so be it. If that means giving her up to someone else-so be it. If that means dating someone else I don't like-so be it. Best friends or best girlfriend- we are like glue... Stuck together, forever, until we peel off in our own directions..."
Best Friends Forever. That's it. No Strings attached. I have no choice, but being that...
