Len Point of View
"Like a Fire Flo-" I took my phone and chucked it somewhere across the room. This is going to be a wonderful day, right? Not. I pulled up my blanket more as I tried to go back to sleep. I was having a weird, but satisfying dream about bananas and how they were taking over the world.
"Len, my dear, sweet, wonderful brother, may I offer you some advice?" Said a sweet, calm, voice. Trying to ignore her, I pulled the blanket over my head. Rin tore away the blanket from me and put her hand gently on my face as she said, "Brother, I advise you to get up." Ignoring her once again, I tried to go back to sleep. Rin, still speaking in her calmly, said, "Brother…..get up." She brought her face close to my ear after seeing that she was failing at getting me out of bed and whispered, "I'm going to take a picture of your banana boxers and show it to the whole school if you don't get up."
When I heard this, I bolted up and ran into the bathroom, knowing that Rin probably would do that. I turned on the shower as I angrily thought about ways to embarrass Rin at school. Before I got in the shower, I heard Rin yell cheerily from downstairs, "And make sure you aren't late, Lenny!"
Damn, I really have to get up earlier. Grabbing my backpack, I ran out the door in a hurry to get to the bus stop. I turned around while running and yelled, "Come on, Rin! We're gonna be late!"
So, why aren't the servants driving us to school when we're about to be late? Mom and dad apparently wanted for Rin and me to get the "normal schooling experience". Thanks, mom and dad. Because of you, we're going to be late to our first day of school.
Suddenly, I saw a yellow blur pass by me on the street that interrupted me in the middle of my rant on mom and dad. It took me a few seconds to realize that blur was Rin on a skateboard. She yelled back at me, "Don't be late, Len, or else mom and dad won't be happy!" I ran faster, trying to match Rin's speed….and then failed.
"Hey, watch ou-" A high pitched, feminine voice said. I felt myself run into a person right as the girl, at least I'm assuming it was a girl's voice, was finishing her sentence. After a few seconds of disorientation, I found myself on top of another person.
Pushing myself up off the ground, I angrily said, "Watch it! Are you too dumb to move?"
The boy I ran into, after pushing himself up, glared coldly at me. "I'm so sorry, Prince," he said with sarcasm apparent in his every word me. "Next time, when I'm standing still looking through my backpack, I'll make sure to move out of the way and know that someone is running straight towards me as I face in the opposite direction," he said, amber eyes blazing.
I stared at him, shocked at how he was treating me. It was obviously HIS fault, not mine! I stared up at his eyes and calmly said, "Do you know who I am? I am the great Kagamine Len, son of Kagamine Dell and heir to the Vocaloid Music Company." This guy is gonna get so scared now. After all, my dad and his company is number one in the music producing industry. He's also one of the richest people in America.
"I don't care who you are, you spoiled brat," said the now infuriated boy. "All I know is that you almost ran into my sister."
I looked over to his left and saw a girl that looked similar to him. She, like her brother, had black hair and amber eyes. However, her eyes were calmer than his and her hair looked much neater.
Focusing my attention to the boy again, I was about to start yelling until the girl spoke. "Rei, please calm yourself," she said as she looked at both of us anxiously.
"Yeah, Lenny, calm down." Rin was standing behind me, appearing as quickly as she disappeared. "This isn't good for the first day of school. Imagine what mom and dad would say. Besides, you can't beat this guy in a fight if that's what you were planning."
Blushing out of anger and embarrassment, I turned around to yell at Rin until I heard laughter coming from Rei, or at least that what I think that's the name the girl said earlier. "You? Fighting me? Right."
Calming himself down, Rei's expression turned more serious as he said, "Len, Ren, whatever your name is, I don't care about you. You're just a spoiled brat who thinks he can do whatever he wants with money."
He turned around and walked away. "You may be able to control people, but will you earn the respect of other people? Or will they only fear you because of your money and influence?"
The girl, looking back and forth between us and her brother, hastily said to us, "I'm sorry for my brother's hostility. Please forgive him." She turned around and ran after her brother, giving us a quick wave as she ran.
Still angered by his words, I was about to yell at him until Rin gasped and said, "Len! The bus! It's almost here!" I realized that that she was right and the bus would arrive in a few minutes. I ran past Rin, trying to reach the bus stop on time. Wait a minute…This is the same direction the girl and Rei went. Damnit, they go to the same school as us!
That was too close. Rin and I almost missed the bus. Luckily, the driver waited for us. As we got on the bus and tried to find some empty seats, the driver spoke to us. "You can sit over there," he said, pointing towards the back. Rin thanked him as I made my way to the back of the bus, ignoring everyone's curious stares. "If you kids need my help, just ask the school for Gakupo Kamui," the bus driver said as he began to drive. Rin and I found the seats in the back of the bus and relaxed, trying to calm down from the incident before we got on the bus.
"Oh, it's you."
Turning my head to the source of the voice, I saw Rei and his sister sitting in the seat behind us. I angrily said to him, "Who do you think you are? Addressing me so casually?"
To my right, I saw that Rui was about to say something, but Rin said to her, "Wait." Rui looked at her confusedly, but she listened to Rin.
Rei narrowed his eyes and said, "Oh, I apologize for my rudeness, Prince Len. My name is Kagene Rei, and my twin sister is Kagene Rui."
If I wasn't so mad, I would've realized that their last name sounded familiar, but I was too angered to notice. "You think you're so smart, don't you? How about I get some of my friends to teach you a lesson?"
"Now you're just going to hide behind others. You're such a scary person. I'm trembling in my shoes," he said with an apathetic voice.
This guy didn't seem to be scared by anything. While I felt a burning resentment for him, I also slightly respected the fact that he stood up to me. In the past, when people heard my name, they would start trembling. Even now, some adults fear the power I have. I knew that this wasn't going anywhere. I turned away from Rei, surprising him and the girls. I, Kagamine Len, for the first time in my life, have backed off a challenge. I was angry by the fact that I gave up, but I also felt a little relieved because this was over because I wouldn't get in trouble on my first day of school. I also felt…guilty? No, I shouldn't feel guilt for something this idiot did. But why did I still feel some guilt?
After I turned away from Rei, Rin and Rui started to talk to each other, trying to know the other person better. I ignored Rei; he ignored me. This was fine by me.
As I tried to go to sleep, I heard some of Rui and Rin's conversation. I learned that Rui has a passion for singing and she's in the same grade as Rin and I. She's roughly three months older than Rin and I. She's also smart and popular at school. After another few minutes of pointless talk between Rui and Rin, I managed to fall asleep.
When we arrived at the school, we got off the bus and prepared to go inside. Rin and I were about to go inside, but Rui came up to us and nervously said, "Uhm…do you two want to have lunch with Rei and I?"
Rei would be annoying to sit with at lunch, but it was better than sitting with only Rin. On second thought, Rin would probably have some friends by lunch, so it would be better than sitting alone or with Rin's friends. Of course, I could make some friends, but I want to get used to the school before making any friends. "Sure, Rin and I will sit next to you at lunch. Make sure you aren't late," I said. Rin frowned a little at this, but Rui beamed at me when she heard my response.
"That's great! Rei and I will find you! See ya later!" She walked towards the school with an aura of happiness around her.
I stared at her for a few seconds, wondering how she could be so happy this early in the morning. "See, Len. First day of school and we already have two friends. It won't be THAT bad, right?" Rin said as she smiled. I just shrugged and walked into the school.
