A/N: I bring you chapter 2 of 3:2:1, also known as the story that is going in no paricular direction at the moment. I digress.
Language, oop. I apologize. Dramatic effect, y'all.

Chapter Two: A Second Encounter and a First
Megurine Luka thought that Gakupo guy was kind of an asshole.
First of all, he'd dumped Meiko. Meiko, the one notorious for always being the one to end it. Meiko, the one who never got dumped because she was always the one dumping others.
Luka knew that this was because Meiko's worst fear was rejection – she'd only confided to this to her once, when she was particularly drunk, but she had committed this to memory. So naturally, Meiko took it upon herself to end a relationship before she was broken up with. That led to her personality being misconstrued, but, she thought, that didn't matter.
And he'd dumped Meiko. Meiko. He had dumped her.
Quite obviously, the news was still settling in. Luka didn't know whether she or Meiko was more shocked.
It had been twenty-nine-and-a-half hours since Meiko had been dumped for the first time ever, one hour since she had left Suki's Generic Bar, where she had run into none other than Kamui Gakupo, also known as the guy that had dumped Meiko. She had been sitting with Meiko for about half of that time, and she could say with certainty that she had never seen Meiko act this way in the five years that she had known her. Meiko was in a state of mixed shock and betrayal, and was sitting perfectly still, staring at the wall as if it was the most interesting she'd seen in years.
When Luka had started to tell her about her encounter with Gakupo, it had not helped in the slightest.
"So I got up to leave," she continued, "and he asked for my name. I didn't know why, so I didn't tell him. And then I left."
There was no response from Meiko, so she continued, "He looked like he had something on his mind, though. Like, constantly. And I'm sorry to admit this, but I was being friendly before I realized who he was. I assure you, that was not on purpose!"
"Screw that guy," Meiko muttered, finally recovering, "I forgive ya, Luka."
"That's the spirit." There was a beat of silence, before Luka added, "I wonder if he's going to come crawling back to you. It sure seemed like it."
Meiko laughed scornfully. "No way. The only time that's allowed to happen is if I let it, and I have no intention of that! I'm done with him. I am done." She shoved her hand into her pocket, pulling out her mobile phone. "Look, he's already called me six times, left three voicemails, and twelve text messages." The phone vibrated in her hand, and she nearly dropped it. "Speak of the devil. Literally."
Luka snatched the phone. "I'll handle this." She flipped it open, scowling at it, before bringing it to her ear. "This is—," she began to say, before deciding against it, "this is Meiko's best friend, and you had better stop calling her before one of us tears you apart. Do you understand, or should I repeat myself?" Meiko raised her eyebrows, surprised and proud of this new display of emotion from her best friend.
"I— er—," he stuttered into the phone. "Is that you, Pinkette? I need to talk to Meiko! MEIKO! MEIKO, PLEASE LISTEN TO ME!" he yelled in hopes that Meiko would hear him.
She did, Luka having put the phone on speaker. "Screw you, Gakupo!" was all she said before taking the phone and forcefully snapping it shut.
"I think we handled that well," Luka stated.
"Yep," Meiko said, then smiled. "I hope to never see that guy again. Or for a long time."
"I don't understand how he could dump you. Especially since he knows about your… policy."
"Bastard. I think he just wanted to beat me to it." Meiko exhaled. "Where the hell is Lily?"
A/N: Brick joke. Hahaha. Oh Lily, you and your absence.
Rather short, but I digress.
Shiny out! [/cheesy]
