It's been about 3 weeks ever since Len and I started dating. In fact, I even met up with a few of my friends at an arcade to tell them what happened. Miku was thrilled and actually did have a leek feast with Mikuo. Crazy, huh? I wish I knew how this world worked. That way, I could understand everything, but I can't. That's why I'm a human, I guess. You've probably heard the opening to Owari no Seraph (Seraph of the End). "It is our pain that makes us all human after all."
Anyway, I decided to spend today at Len's house and we were playing a game called "Project Diva" before Len had to go use the bathroom. School had started for most of my friends, but we had 2 weeks left because private schools start later than public. Miku was in Korea so I couldn't hang out with her. It was today that one of my best friends from my middle school, Lenka, texted me after her classes ended. However, she was texting me in a group chat with 2 boys who I hated, Gakupo and Kaito. They were really annoying and didn't even care about my well-being.
Lenka: Hey, guys.
Rin: Hey, did you just get out of school? It's only 1:50.
Kaito: Did you honestly think that we'd text you during our classes.
Rin: Yeah, my brother does it all the time. He even plays on his school iPad during class.
Lenka: Rin, are you still into anime?
Rin: Yeah, of course. Here's a picture from one of the latest animes we watched.
Lenka: We?
Rin: Yeah, me and Len.
Gakupo: Anime is gay.
Kaito: Yeah, anime sucks and it's for losers, including you.
Rin: Would you count me as a loser when I got to spend the entire day resting while you had classes to take? I'm still smarter than you.
Gakupo: No, you aren't. I'm way smarter than you are.
Rin: Really, then? Your own dad called you annoying. Twice. In front of me. Oh, and who's the one who actually got accepted into Oshiete Academy?
Gakupo: The only reason I'm not going there is because we didn't have enough money!
Kaito: Yeah, fuck off, Rin!
Kaito: You're such a fucking asshole who can't even do good math. You don't deserve to go to the school that you go to.
Lenka: Just ignore him, Rin.
Gakupo: You're just a piece of shit that nobody likes. Hell, even Lenka talks bad about you behind your back. She says she's your friend, but she really isn't.
Lenka: Don't believe them, Rin. They're just a bunch of liars who want to make you feel bad. Just leave this conversation already! Don't believe them at all!
I tried my best to stay positive. Laughing sadly, I sent out this next text.
Rin: I'll believe whoever can guess my favorite song.
I face-palmed. Why?
Kaito: Why would we want to make you believe us you dirty piece of fucking shit. You're lower than us, so you should know your place.
That was the last straw. My vision grew blurry as I hurried to block Gakupo and Kaito's numbers. "Len…" I murmured softy.
As if it was magic, he walked into my sight and saw me balled up on the floor crying and hurried to my side. "Rin! Rin! Are you okay? What happened?"
I shoved my phone up in the air and showed him the texts. His face grew from worried to angry. I could almost see the veins popping out of his head and steam blowing in his ears. Goddamn shoujo mangas! Why did they have to depict this as well? "It'll be okay, Rin." He told me rubbing circles into my back and hugging me. "I still love you, okay? There are always going to be people like that, but they just want to force their insecurities on you too, okay? You have me and Miku and we all care about you very much."
I calmed my breathing and my sight cleared a bit. "Thanks, Len." I whispered audibly and faced him. His shirt was drenched with my tears, but I couldn't help but smile. His face froze and he stared at me for a while. Slowly, his face inched towards mine and he pressed his lips to mine. I was shocked for a second but quickly recovered and kissed back with as much passion as he did. In a way, it was also gentle and loving. I could feel his tongue flick against my bottom lip asking for entrance. I slowly opened my mouth and our tongues danced. Hmmm… he tasted exactly like bananas, my second favorite fruit. After oranges, of course. The sweetness of his taste made me want more and more. I think this is my new favorite flavor. Finally, we pulled away from each other grasping for breath. That was, until we did it again. Maybe I do like shoujo mangas.
Just like the last chapter, this was actually based off of my life. 2 of my old classmates, the boys who are portrayed as Kaito and Gakupo, textedme after school started, just this last week actually, and told me all of this stuff. This is around what they said, not really exact. I deleted the old messages, so they aren't here anymore. At the time, I was home alone so I couldn't talk to anybody about it, nor did I want to. To get through it, I listened to "Rolling Girl," "World Domination How-To," "Lost One's Weeping," "Feathers Across the Seasons," and "Idola Circus" for about an hour until I finally got over it. I decided that it was okay and I searched about how I could get over it. I learned that my classmates were actually lacking self-confidence and decided to bully me to help it. I actually laughed at the idea. I just want to tell you readers out there that if you're ever bullied or if anyone you know is bullied, then you should definitely tell an adult. I didn't when it happened, so I want everyone else to learn from my mistakes. Even if you choose not to, I recommend that you listen to these songs, especially "World Domination How-To." This song is sung by the Kagamines and talks about how they themselves were bullied by their peers, but decided that even if they do become evil one day that they have to become kind people and treat people nicely because they don't want to make other people feel that same way. Personally, I listened to "Idola Circus" because it makes me feel empowered in a way that makes me think that it's okay. If you don't listen to these songs, then please remember that you are loved by everyone around you and that it would make them very, very depressed if they saw you like that. Remember all of your morals and don't force it on other people, either. To all of you wonderful people out there, I love you! I might not know you, if you took the time to read all of this, I deeply appreciate everything that you're doing and I definitely don't want to hear that you're sad or that you want to die. I want you to live your life and forget about those haters, but be a good person! I wish all of you the best, and I wouldn't have my life any other way. I definitely don't want to die, and you shouldn't either! Please? Anyway, I hope you really enjoyed this story and took my advice! I wish all of you the best! Love, ReadingWriting808.
