Chapter One
"Look, Neru, the neighbors have moved in!" My mom said cheerfully as looked out the window, "I hope they like this apple crisp im making."
I looked at her in confusion, "What new neighbors? What happened to ?" I asked. Ms. Williams was an old lady with about fifty cats, she might of been insane, but she made really good chocolate chip cookies.
"Who's she, dear? I've never heard of her." My mom told me, then went back to cooking.
I narrowed my eyes, "She came over to our house a few days ago."
"I would of remembered that."
Rolling my eyes, I dumped my bowl of cereal in the sink, "Im going to school now."
Mom smiled, "Have fun!"
"Whatever."
I was never thrilled about school, I mean, would you be if every kid hated you? I hated them back, of course...even Miku Hatsune.
She was apparently my 'best friend', even though I secretly wished she would fall into a pool, forget how to swim, and slowly die a suffering death.
Holy crap am I a messed up kid or what?

As I walked to school, Miku ran up to me and grabbed me from behind.
"Nerrruuuuu!" She squealed, nearly knocking me over. I pushed her away, "What?" I snapped, glaring at her.
Miku frowned, "I was just going to say hi. I haven't seen you for the whole weekend! How do you think I dealt with two days without my BFF?"
I cringed, BFF?
"You, uh...spent the two days with Kaito?" I guessed.
Kaito was her boyfriend, and I swear every free moment the two had, they where either at the movies, at the park, or at the beach.
Miku shook her head, "Wrong! Wanna guess again?"
"No."
"Oh...well, I was in L.A! Isnt that cool? I went there to see a concert, and it was awesome!" Miku cheered happily.
She was like a big blue haired ball of perkiness, also known as annoying.
"Fun." I said flatly, picking up my backpack that I dropped when Miku had tackled me. "I've always wanted to go there, but my mom could never afford it."
"Aw, I could have taken you!"
"Such a shame, then." I lied, "It would of been so much fun!"
Miku smiled again, "I know!" She gasped, "I could of invited Luka, too! Oh my gosh, Miki could of come, and Meiko, and Gumi! We could of had a slumber party in the hotel!"
Oh, joy.
Because nothing is more fun than spending a few days with the people that hate me most!
Wonderful. (If you cant tell, im being sarcastic)
"That'd be fun!" I fake the happiness into my voice, and forced a smile.

"Neru, would you mind showing Len around the school?" My math teachers voice asked. I looked up from my desk and stared blankly at her, "Who?"
I hadnt been paying attention until she said my name, so I had no idea who she was talking about.
The teacher frowned, then motioned to the blonde haired boy with a messy ponytail standing beside her. I have to admit, he was really good-looking.
I felt my face going red, I nodded, "Uh...sure." I said quickly, then went back to staring at the table top.
The teacher told Len to sit in the empy seat beside me, and only when he sat down I realized with complete humiliation that this was the new kid, my new neighbor, who I had seen a few times walking around the school holding hands and hugging his sister.
Terrific.
"Greetings." Len said, his voice kind, "You are the girl who lives next door to me, correct?" He asked.
"Yeah." I replied, not looking at him.
From the corner of my eye I could tell he was frowning, "You do not wish to speak?"
When I didnt say anything, Len put his hands on the desk, then rested his head on them, "I apologize. My intentions werent to bother you."
"Can you stop talking like that?" I snapped, why was he speaking so formally?
Len blinked, a confused expression crossed his face, "What do you mean? Am I not speaking correctly?"
I let out an annoyed sigh, "Nevermind." I muttered under my breath.
Len frowned again, "I am not use to the way the students who attend this school talk. They cut the words short and they blend them together, it is confusing is it not?" He asked.
I looked at him in disbelief, "Thats called English."
"But it fails to make sense, for example, gunna, the last I checked gun was a weapon, why do people speak of weapons to ones they are close to?" Len asked, looking more confused than ever.
I rolled my eyes, "Gonna is short for going to, idiot."
Len blinked, "Idiot, as in stupid?"
"Dumbass."
Now Len looked like he was about to explode, I guess he was struggling to make sense of the word, then got frustrated and gave up, "You humans never fail to confuse me." He growled, his dark blue eyes flashing brightly before returning to normal.
For a second I was a bit scared, but I figured I was just imagining things.
Though, to be honest, the way he said 'You humans' made me wonder what he meant.
Woah...shortest chapter i've ever written!
