Hey guys, I'm finally back. It took forever to update this chapter. There was just so much stuff this week like tests, essays, and a bunch of sports. And it took me a while to write this chapter. I thought something was off about it, so I kept rereading it, trying to make it better.
Reviews
AliasStars- Yeah me too. I'm not good at handling people like Len. If I hadn't punched him, I would have given him a piece of my mind with some not so nice words.
lizzie-rivers- You're from Great Britain right? For some reason, America thought we should be unique and call the sport soccer instead of football (even though football makes more sense). Sorry for an inconvience this might cause you in the future.
LightSpeed Athelete24- It always bothered me when people crossdressed to do stuff like that, especially Rin. And I've noticed that crossdressing also appears lots in anime. In the past three animes I've watched, there are crossdressers. Not that I have anything against them though. I just find it weird how often they appear in stories and animes.
Rin's POV
"Rin Kagami," I tried to reply as nice as possible. "I'm glad to be playing on your team," I said, faking a smile. Len said nothing back to me. Not an "I'm glad you are too" or "I can't wait to see you play." He just stood there silently, like he was still waiting for someone to tell him this entire thing was a joke.
"Len, why don't you take Rin on a tour of her classes," Ms. Miriam asked, breaking the awkward silence. "Rin is in all of your classes, so you should have no trouble helping her." Ms. Miriam smiled, and handed me a schedule with my classes and locker combination. "Oh, look at the time!" Ms. Miriam exclaimed. "I have an important meeting to go to. Good luck to you," she waved, and walked towards the back of the office.
"C'mon," Len mumbled, pushing open the office door. Instead of moving, I stood still, debating whether or not to actually follow him. "Hurry up!" he growled a bit louder. I quickly ran behind him. Len already seemed like the type of person you didn't want to get upset.
Len and I walked through the hallways of the school to get my locker. I admired the school in awe as we walked. The ceilings were so high, and beautiful artwork lined the walls. The floor was a textured tile that looked very high-class. I started to wonder why I was even at a school as magnificent as this.
"We're here," Len said, abruptly stopping. I turned to face a row of lockers that were a dark brown color. "This one's yours." He pointed at a locker numbered 1487. I looked down at my schedule to check the combination. 12-27-07. I carefully entered the combination into the lock, and it clicked open. The locker door swung open, and to my surprise it was already filled with books.
"I see Ms. Miriam already got your books. That means I won't have to go with you to get them," Len said, weakly. This kid is starting to get on my nerves. I don't know how I'll stand to play on a team with him. "We better hurry up and get to class," Len told me, after I grabbed my books. "Otherwise the teacher is gonna get pissed at the both of us."
Len and I quickly hurried our first class of the day, Algebra. The two of us entered the classroom at the same time, but Len quickly ditched me. He ran straight towards his seat, and started to talk with all his friends. I couldn't help but notice all the girls surrounding him as well. How disgusting, but being a playboy does seem to fit Len's personality. My thoughts were interrupted by the teacher.
"Are you Rin?" she asked sweetly. "Yes, ma'am," I replied politely. "What good manners!" the teacher smiled. "It'll be refreshing to have someone like you in this class. Maybe some of you will rub off on them." The teacher laughed at her own joke. "By the way, I'm Ms. Mayu. Just wait a minute as I introduce you to the class."
"Attention everyone," she said loudly. Nobody even looked in her direction. Talk about disrespectful. Ms. Mayu gave me a weak smile and tried to get the attention of the class again. "ATTENTION EVERYONE!" she yelled at the top her lungs. This time all the students turned to her with a look of fear on their faces. "That's much better," Ms. Mayu smiled. "I would like to introduce to you all our newest student, Rin Kagami."
I walked to the front of the room, and waved to everyone. "Hello, I'm Rin. It's a pleasure to be in a class with you all. I hope to get to know you all really well." Nobody responded except for a few girls sitting near the back of the class. They waved "hi" back and smiled at me. That was less reaction then I was expecting though. You'd think for a bunch of rich kids, someone might have taught them some manners.
"Rin, why don't you go sit in the back with Luka, Miku, and Gumi. They're the only decent people in this class," Ms. Mayu said, motioning for me to go sit by them. I nodded and quickly sat down with the three girls. "Why don't you girls acquaint yourself with each other," Ms. Mayu suggested. "And how about the rest of you get out the homework I know you all didn't do." The rest of the class groaned loudly.
I turned to face the three girls that sat behind me. "What are your names?" I asked. "I'm Miku!" a girl with long teal pigtails smiled. "Gumi!" a green-haired girl squeaked. "And my name is Luka," the last girl who had pink hair said calmly. "It's been so long since we've had a new student, isn't it?" Gumi piped excitingly. "Rin, why kind of company do your parents own?"
"Company?" I asked confused. "My parents don't own a company. My dad died a few years ago and my mom works at the grocery store downtown." Gumi and Miku looked at me with a puzzled expression on their faces. "Oh, so you're here on a scholarship?" Luka asked, sounding a bit intrigued. "Yep!" I smiled. "I got accepted for my good grades and I'm playing on the soccer team!"
"I didn't know Yamaha had a girls soccer team," Miku said. "I mean we used to, but we got rid of it to make boys soccer year-round, since it's much more popular with the students."
"I'm going to be playing on the guys team," I explained. "That's amazing!" Gumi smiled. "You must be really good then!" I shrugged in embarrassment. I didn't think I was that amazing, but I guess the school must think so.
The rest of the class hour was spent by Ms. Mayu teaching us how to solve 2-variable equations. Talk about easy. But somehow most of the kids in the class, excluding Luka and I, couldn't figure out how to do it. Now I've come to the conclusion in this school are rude idiots. When the bell rang to end class, the Miku offered to take me to my next class. In all the time we talked, I forgot to tell her about Len, who was supposed to be my guide. However I thought walking with Miku would be much more fun than being around Len.
"I'd love to go with you," I told them. "Just give me a sec." I walked over to Len, who was putting things away in his backpack. "I'm gonna walk with my new friend to class. Is that okay?" I asked. "I don't care," he muttered. Taking that as a yes, I skipped back to Miku who was chatting with Gumi and Luka, happily.
"Rin, how do you know him?" Gumi asked, when I got back. "You're the new girl and already are hanging with the Len Kagamine?"
"He's supposed to be my guide for the day," I explained. "And why are you calling him the Len Kagamine?"
"Len is the biggest celebrity at school!" Miku exclaimed, clapping her hands together. "He is the best soccer player ever and has the looks of a supermodel. He's the ideal guy and everyone loves him!"
"Everyone minus me," I whispered coldly. "He doesn't seem that great though," I said a bit louder. "He isn't," Luka agreed with me. "He and his soccer gang think they run this school. And I have to say I'm sorry for you having to be on their team. I just hope a bit of you will rub off on them."
"That's exactly what Ms. Mayu said," I giggled.
The four of us spent most of the day together! Luckily I had at least one of my new friends in each of my classes. And they even let me eat lunch with them! I have to admit I was nervous this first day, but it seems like it all worked out just fine. Well except for meeting Len. He was the cloud that blocked a bit of my sunshine.
The last bell rang to signal the end of school. Kids exited the school in floods, until the only people left were the ones in afterschool activities. I grabbed my sports bag and headed towards the locker room. Here comes the one part of the day that I'm now dreading. Soccer practice.
Len's POV
I stood outside on the soccer field, waiting for the rest of the team to come outside. What takes them so long anyway? It's not like it takes that long to change. While I waited for them, I grabbed my soccer ball and practiced my juggling.
"Foot…Thigh…Shoulder…Head," I said aloud, as the ball bounced from body part to body part. "You're pretty good!" someone said loudly, making me lose my concentration. The ball hit the ground, splashing a bit of mud on my socks. I looked up to see Rin laughing.
"What are you doing here?" I asked angrily. "I'm on the team remember?" she said, picking up my soccer ball. "Oh yeah," I mumbled. I forgot about her being on the team. Needless to say, I'm not pleased about this. Who lets a girl play on the guys soccer team? There's a reason it's GUYS soccer. For GUYS only!
I watched as Rin threw the ball in the air, and caught it when I came back down. "This isn't basketball, you idiot," I taunted her. She stuck her tongue out at me. "I know that," she replied angrily. Rin went back to tossing the ball in the air.
"Hey Len!" I heard someone call. I looked up and saw the rest of the team walking onto the field. "It's about time you got out here!" I exclaimed. "Were you having a party in the locker room or something?"
"Chill out, man," My best friend, Kaito, said patting my shoulder. "Some of us were just a little busy."
"Just be faster next time," I scolded him. He might be my best friend, but someone needs to discipline this team. And we don't have a coach so the next best thing is me. Why don't we have a coach? Coaches are overrated, and always bringing you down. It's better to coach yourself.
"Len, who's the cutie over there with the soccer ball?" another team member, Kiyoteru, asked, pointing at Rin, who was still throwing the ball in the air. Honestly, she looks like a little kid. Especially with that bow of hers flopping in the wind. "That," I muttered. "Is our newest teammate."
The entire team looked at me in surprise. "What now?" one of our defenders, Ted, said loudly. Rin walked closer to us and waved to everyone. "Hi, I'm Rin. It's nice to meet you all," she smiled. The guys looked at me in confusion. "Apparently Rin is really good at soccer. Ms. Miriam says she has to play on the team," I explained.
Kaito walked forward towards Rin. He walked around her in circles, closing examining her. "W-what are you doing?" Rin asked nervously. "I'm inspecting you," Kaito said, as if this was a reasonable answer. "Are you sure she's supposed to be playing with us?" Kaito asked, after his inspection. "She seems so… unskilled."
"Am not!" Rin pouted, like a little child. "I can play soccer just as good as the rest of you!"
"Show us then," Kiyoteru, the smartest on the team, said. "Prove your skills and we shall have no qualms about letting you join the team." Rin smiled at Kiyoteru and quickly grabbed a soccer ball. "What do you want me to do?" she asked confidently.
"Gakupo, suit up!" I commanded. Our goalie, Gakupo, nodded and pulled on his keeper gloves. He walked over and positioned himself in the goal. "If you're so amazing," I smiled at Rin. "Then score on Gakupo. And I'll let you know, he's one of the best goalies in the entire country. Nobody ever scores on him."
I expected Rin to back out of the challenge right away. There's no way she could possibly win. But instead she simply nodded, and dribbled the ball to the goalie box. "Are you ready?" she asked Gakupo. Gakupo responded with a short grunt. Rin set the soccer ball on the ground, and slowly backed up. Then she started to run forward, and kicked the ball with all her might.
"How pathetic," I smiled. "I knew there was no way a girl like her could be on the team," I smirked. "L-Len," the smallest boy on the team, Oliver stammered. "L-look!" Oliver pointed towards the goal, where Gakupo was on his knees groaning. And right behind him, sitting in the corner of the goal was Rin's soccer ball.
"WHAT THE HELL!" I screamed. "What just happened?" I sprinted over to Gakupo, to see if he was hurt or something. He must be, because there's no way Rin could have scored on him. "You okay man?" I asked, concerned. "S-she scored on me!" Gakupo wailed loudly. I glanced up at Rin who was running towards the two of us.
"Are you okay?" she asked, taking Gakupo from me. "Let me help you up." She put her arm around his shoulder and helped him stand up. "Does it hurt anywhere?' she asked, looking for any cuts or bruises. "I'm fine," Gakupo chuckled. "I'm just stunned, that's all. You can let go of me."
Rin let go and set Gakupo back on the ground. "You really are that amazing," Gakupo chuckled. By now, the rest of the team had rushed over to see what the commotion was about. Everyone was stunned when Gakupo explained that Rin had scored on him. "She definitely deserves that spot on the team," Gakupo told us all.
"Well then welcome aboard Rin!" Kaito said happily. "From now on you're one of us."
"Thank you!" Rin smiled, bowing her head. What is going on here? I didn't give her permission to play! And I'm there captain! "Wait a minute, guys," I said trying to reason with them. "Rin could get easily hurt and she probably just got lucky and…
"She made that shot fair and square. If you have any objections you can go cry in a corner, captain or not," a boy named Piko said sternly. I stepped back, appalled . My own team is rebelling against me, all for this stupid girl? "Fine, she can stay," I grumbled.
"YAY!" Rin smiled, hugging the closest person next to her. Unfortunately, that was me. "Get off!" I muttered. "There's something called personal space." Rin reluctantly let go, and put her hands at her side. "Len don't be so negative," Kaito joked. "We should welcome her. Let's start by introducing her to the team."
Kaito grabbed Rin's hand and kissed it. "I'm Kaito Shion, at your service." What a drama queen. "Let me introduce you to the team," he smiled. Kaito went through the line-up, telling Rin everyone's name.
"Oliver Eigo, Lui Hibiki, Piko Utatane, Gumo Megpoid, Kiyoteru Hiyama, Dell Yowane, Mikuo Hatsune, Ted Kasane, Nero Akito, Big Al, Leon Kaishi, and Gakupo Kamui. And of course our team captain, Len Kagamine the greatest soccer player known to man."
"Who's that?" Rin asked, pointing to someone off the field. She was pointing at a boy filling some bottles with water. "That's nobody. Just our water boy," I told her. Truthfully, I don't even think I know his name. "His name?" Rin asked again, now sounding a bit irritated. "Don't know, don't care," I shrugged.
Rin glared at me, and then walked over to talk to the water boy. "Where are you going?" I asked. "To ask for his name!" Rin yelled back.
Rin's POV
What kind of captain does Len think he is? He doesn't even know the name of his water boy. Well, I want to know his name, so I'm gonna ask him. I walked up to the boy who was filling water bottles for todays practice. "Hello!" I smiled. The boy jumped in the air, and turned to me with a startled expression "What's your name?" I asked him. I noticed the boy had blonde hair, similar to Len's except his was much shorter.
"Rinto," the water boy said quietly. "That's a nice name," I told the boy. "You know, the guys on the soccer team don't even know your name. You should go tell them," I explained to Rinto. He nodded his head in disagreement. "C'mon they don't bite," I laughed, grabbing Rinto's arm. I pulled him over back towards where the soccer team was standing.
"Everyone this is Rinto!" I said happily. "Rinto, say hi."
"H-hi," Rinto mumbled, looking down towards his feet. "May I leave now?" he asked, trying to break himself free of my grip. "Leave him alone," Len laughed. "He has no reason to be here anyways. He just our water boy, so he should be getting us water." Rinto nodded in agreement with Len's statement, and quickly hurried away to fill up the rest of the water bottles.
"That was mean!" I yelled at Len. "You hurt his feelings!"
"What are you, a kindergartener?" Len asked. "Oh no! I hurt his feelings. I need a time-out!" Len wailed sarcastically. The entire team laughed at Len's joke, but I didn't find it funny. Were all the kids in this school jerks like Len? Was everyone was this rude and inconsiderate? I can't believe I have to spend the rest of the school year hanging out with them.
You're probably all wondering what happen to the Len Kagamine everyone loves and admires. The Len who is respectful to his sister, teachers, and all the girls he meets. Don't worry all will be revealed. And don't forget about the quiet water boy, Rinto. He shall have a part to play very soon, and it might be a part that Len doesn't like to much.
Please Review :)
