Chapter 2

I left my keys by the door and fell on the blue sofa. I sure was tired. Probably from walking around in that mall... Suddenly my phone lit up next to me. It was Luka.
I picked up the phone and press answer.

"Hey, IA. Sooo, how did things go with you know who?"

I could hear the tone in Luka's voice and I didn't like it.

"Thanks for asking Luka. Anyway, something sort of happened. She kissed me. Only on the cheek and only because a fangirl asked."

"Yay. You two will be an amazing couple!"

"Don't get ahead of yourself."

"Hey, can I come over?"

"Sorry, No," I said, "You know how my parents are. They're off in Brussels or something for science research. And poor Snowy is sick so I have to give my full attention to him."

"Aww. Well, tell your doggy that I hope he gets better. And you NEED to make a move on Yukari. Seriously."

"Yeah, yeah. Well, goodnight. Bye, Luka."

No sooner did I slip my pajama pants on than my phone buzzed.

1 New Message

I slid my phone screen with my finger and unlocked it.

Yukari: Tomorrow night Luka, Miku, Gumi and I are having a sleepover since there's no school on Monday. Would you like to come? It would be way more fun if you were there.

IA: Yeah, sounds like a plan.

Yukari: WOOOOH! Yay.

IA: Haha. Ok, Goodnight Yukari. Sleep well.

Yukari: Aww you too. XOXO

My head felt heavy as I lay it down on my pillow. My brain wondered to what will happen tomorrow. I couldn't help but smile at the thought of Yukari. I think I might love her.
As soon as I woke up the next morning I packed my overnight bag. I was actually excited. Sure, I would have to hire a dog-sitter, but that would barely be an issue. I could only hope that nothing bad would happen tonight.

The evening came sooner than expected. I stuffed my bag into my bike basket and rode to Yukari's house.

"OMG!" Yukari greeted me, "Hi! You came just in time! Gumi was just starting to sing My Crush was a Monster Boy for us!" She took my bag for me and brought it inside. Sure enough, Gumi was singing her heart out at the karaoke machine. This is what I get for going to a school for only vocaloids.

"Me next, Gumi!" screamed Miku.

"Yeaah!" yelled Luka, "Hey, after Miku, IA and Yukari should go together! Do a duet!"

I gave Luka the death stare but had to agree to it anyway because Yukari was so excited for it.

Miku sang a duet with Luka, Magnet.

I wondered how I could be trying to live up to them. They were so good. Way better than I could ever be. Of course they were also dating so they had that advantage.

"Yay! Yukari and IA! You two are up now!"

I was sweating and shivering. Yukari lay her hand on my arm when no one was looking, they were all too distracted by forcing Miku to chug half a bottle of vodka. Blech.

"You'll be great. We'll do it together after all." Yukari spoke, looking right into my eyes.

I smiled back at her, in spite of my nervousness which now seemed to want me to hurl. I tried my hardest not to.
Yukari and I decided to sing Bad Apple!

I have to admit, it is a very catchy song. Yukari was right. We had practiced this song and the choreography so many times that by now it was a breeze. As long as I kept my eyes away from the audience.

"Woooh!" everyone cheered at the end, especially Luka.

Yukari looked right at me and simply said, "See?" I nodded.

"Guys, we should totally play spin the bottle next!" suggested a half drunk Miku.

"Ok, Miku, but don't make out too much with anyone right? Well, unless its me." laughed Luka.

We all sat in a circle, putting the empty vodka bottle in the center.

Gumi went first. Of course, the bottle ended up facing Yukari. I felt a twinge of jealousy at Gumi.

After their quick kiss Yukari turned to me, noticing my pained expression. "It's just a game, IA." I could tell she was trying to be comforting so I nodded in reply. My bottle never landed on Yukari.

After the game was over most everyone was passed out from drinking. I hadn't drunk at all and Yukari only had a bit so we were still up.

We were already sitting together on the couch. Yukari turned to face me.

"I'm sorry I didn't get to kiss you in spin the bottle. I was...sort of hoping to." Yukari's cheeks were turning red. This time it was her turn to look away.

"Oh. Um. It's...fine." I awkwardly stuttered back.

"So, um, I'll make it up to you..." Yukari was looking at me again.

And that was when I had my first kiss with Yukari Yuzuki. Though, I'd say it was more than just a kiss, she was full on making out with me. I wasn't complaining. She was probably the tiniest bit drunk.

After our '7 minutes in heaven' session she passed out. I put a blanket on her and cuddled with her. She smiled and murmured something groggily. It was hard to make out, but I think she said my name.
