There was a school across the country with the worst clique problem out of all the others. Kids could only talk to kids from their own clique if they wanted friends. Talking to someone out of their clique was considered social suicide. The school was a warzone during certain activities. Fights would breakout during school sports games. A student would be shunned if they so much as said "hi" to someone from a rival clique.
In the hall outside of the gym, a boy was turning down another love confession. "I already have a girlfriend," the boy said. The girl was on the brink of tears and nodded She walked away hanging her head in shame looking like she had made the worst mistake of her life. No one knew who this mysterious girlfriend was. They all assumed she went to another school.
In the cafeteria of this school, a girl was being teased by her friends because of her unknown crush. She wouldn't dare tell anyone that her boyfriend was a known heartbreaker that her friends hated for his games on innocent girls. It was her little pride and joy, her favorite secret; she loved a boy her friends hated passionately.
As her friends talked, Miku stared off in the distance thinking about Len and melting inside. Luka noticed her distance and snapped in front of Miku's face to get her attention. "Miku, please answer me when I talk to you. What is this mysterious thing you always think about?" Luka questioned. Miku sighed knowing she had been caught about Len. She wandered how her friends would respond to her secret love affair with the school's heartbreaker.
"What would you say if I went against one of our rules?" Miku asked her friends. Miku's friends look concerned and surprised. "That would depend on which rule it was. Why? Is there something you're not telling us?" Luka responded. "What rules can I break for the sake of love?" Miku quizzed. "Well, if your dating my brother, I will be pretty pissed," Gumi said. Miku giggled quietly by her friend, like she would date a friend's sibling. "Now if you were dating someone we thought would hurt you, we wouldn't approve of the relationship, no matter how different you said he was," Luka continued.
A look of concern went through Miku's face. It wasn't very hard to tell that what Luka said about a guy that would hurt her struck a chord with her. That was the very same words that they used to describe Len after every break up he had that made a girl cry. The mood of the lunch table turned around completely and had gotten dead serious. "What are you not telling us," rang a chorus of two friends. It seemed that Miku's secret wouldn't last long.
Miku explained her relationship the best way she could to Luka and Gumi. They all gave her the same "WTF" look. "You're the one who originally hated him," Gumi said. "You were the first one to say he was a cruel heartbreaker," Luka continued. "When did this change?" Gumi questioned. Miku tried explaining again with no luck. They were utterly confused that someone, and one of their close friends at that, would date out of their clique.
"You are so lucky we are nice people," Luka said. "You can date him if you want, but don't come crying to us when he breaks your heart," Gumi added. It was weird hearing that from the people who were supposed to be her best friends. The kids on TV would always support their friends regardless who broke their heart. Clearly this is the punishment for going to the school with the worst clique problem in the country.
Len's friends were different. Even if there was a clique problem, they were just proud he was able to get with someone who hated him. It was a game he liked to play with girls' hearts, and Len wouldn't be bored with that game for a long time. He would just take a break for the girl he found who truly liked him. If he told his friends about this hiatus for a true relationship, then they would be completely disappointed in him. It wasn't like him to forfeit a game like this, but his romance wouldn't last long. He was about to go to a school across the country and a long distance relationship didn't sound fun to him.
He didn't tell anyone he was moving until the week before his family had to leave. He told all his friends, except one. He didn't want to tell Miku about his move. He couldn't do it with all the emotions he felt for her. She would just figure it out on her own when he wasn't at school. She would be mad, but at least he didn't have to be the one to tell her.
When Miku noticed Len had been gone for a week, she was worried. She went to one of Len's friends to ask him about it. "Len moved. Didn't he tell you?" was the response. She was hurt that no one told her, that Len didn't tell her. How could he do this to his so-called "girlfriend"? Miku called him when she got home, and through tears she was able to say that living so far apart wasn't good for them and that it was time to breakup. The only thing Miku's friends could say was "Told you so".
When Len walked to the front door of his new school on his first day, he was immediately surprised to find no one fighting in front of the school and a group of students waiting for him in the front office. He was given the tour of the school, learned the fastest way to get to each of his classes, and then was finally walked to his homeroom. Len's homeroom teacher put him in the only empty desk, the one next to a girl with short blonde hair and a white fluffy bow.
