Chapter 3

Note: Thanks to blue neonlightsnow, Ellenthefox, SummerDaye, and TsundereMe for reviewing. They really are encouraging.
Neon - Wish granted. Here's an update. Glad you like Rei's personality. I like it also =P
Ellen - Cookies are the very definition of awesomeness in a physical form. And yea, I created this story 'cause I also thought there were too many "playboy" or "shy, quiet" Len stories. Although, I see "outgoing and popular" Len personalities more than "shy and quiet" Len personalities. Glad you think that he's interesting in this story.
SummerDaye - Thanks =P. Hopefully, this chapter will also be to your standards.
Tsundere - Thanks. It's nice to know that you think I've improved over one chapter. It's nice to know that you're excited for Rei and Rui. They need more stories about them. Seriously.

Len Point of View

I walked into my first hour as the other students were rushing to get into their seats. I didn't know where to go, but I didn't want to look like an idiot. I looked around for a chair to sit in and found a big, nice chair. As I sat in the chair, students were giving me strange looks. They also started to whisper each other and look at me from time to time. Why would they stare at me? I bet they were just jealous of my good looks and were shocked by the fact that I joined their class.

A smiling teacher walked into the classroom. He enthusiastically said, "Good morning, class!" The students responded with mumbles and groans. Still smiling, the teacher said, "Yes, I am aware that it's a Monday, and it's right after Thanksgiving break. However, it's useless to be pessimistic, so let's be happy and make this class fun!"

The teacher then looked over at me and his smile faltered a bit. "Why exactly are you sitting at my desk?" he said.

"There was no other spot, so I sat here." The class stared at me as if I had just murdered someone. I sat in the teacher's chair when I needed a seat. So what?

Acting like nothing happened, the teacher said, "Ah, I see. I'm guessing that you're the new student." He came over to me and reached out his hand. "I'm your English teacher, Mr. Shion. Welcome to Crypton High School."

I observed him for a little bit. He looked like he was in his mid twenties. He had dark blue hair with light blue eyes; he was also wearing casual clothes, which was unusual for school. He had a smile that didn't look forced on his face and he had a calmness about him that also made me calm. I thought he seemed worthy enough of my attention, so I shook his hand.

Still smiling, he said, "Welcome to the class. There's a seat over there, near the back. It's easy to miss."

Trying to be polite in my first class, I responded to him, "Thank you for offering that seat to me, but I think I'll sit here."

The rest of the class stared at me. Some of them were laughing while others just continued to stare. One boy stood up and said in a slow voice, as if talking to someone stupid, "You…sit…in…seat...there….That…seat…for…teacher." Most of the other students laughed at this and also started to yell things. "Stupid!" "Where ya been all this time?" "Did you just come out from under a rock?"

Mr. Shion turned to the class and glared at them. The class immediately quieted down when they saw his face. I looked at his face and saw that his eyes had a trace of anger in them. He also stopped smiling, his expression similar to Dell's "no arguing" expression. "Class," he said, his voice changing to one of barely restrained anger, "is this how you treat someone new?"

When I heard his voice, I couldn't help but back away from him. This man….he was dangerous when he was angry. He turned back to me, smiling again. "Now then, would you please sit down in the seat in the back?" I quickly nodded and walked to the back of the room, not wanting to get him mad.

Smiling again, Mr. Shion continued on as if nothing happened. "As you all have noticed, this is the new student. Please come up here again and introduce yourself."

I stood up and walked to the front of the room. "My name is Len Kagamine." After I finished saying my name, everyone in the room stared at me, speechless. Even Mr. Shion paled a little bit.

"Kagamine…as in, son of Dell Kagamine of the Vocaloid music company?"

Smirking at his visible shock, I nodded and said, "The one and only Len Kagamine. I expect everyone to treat me with respect." I went to the back of the classroom without waiting to be excused.

Mr. Shion stood still for a few seconds, still in shock. Quickly clearing his throat, he said, "Well class, our new student is Len Kagamine. Now, who wants to be his guide around school?"

"I will, Mr. Shion." I looked to my right and saw a guy that looked almost like me. He had blonde hair, but it wasn't in a ponytail. He also had light blue eyes like I did. He looked slightly older than me only because I looked young for my age.

Mr. Shion looked at the guy with an expression of something close to hatred. "Leon. Thank you for volunteering to be his guide. Show him around well."

Leon smiled and turned to me. "Hello, Len. My name is Leonardo Henderson, but everyone calls me Leon." he said brightly.

I stared back at him without a smile on my face. "Oh. Hello. You already know me. Nice to meet you," I said flatly.

Leon laughed as if I had said a joke. "I hope we can become good friends, Len."

The class turned to each other and started talking about me. Someone even mentioned that I looked similar to Leon. I don't look THAT much like him. I just look better.

"Class. Quiet down. We're starting our lesson. Now everyone, look at the board and copy the notes."

The rest of class was uneventful, but from time to time, I saw Leon staring at me with an odd look in his eyes. I ignored it, but it made me wonder what he was thinking about. Oh well, it was probably nothing.


"…And remember class, your homework is to read the first chapter of the story." I walked out of the classroom as I zipped up my backpack. Luckily for me, I joined the class right on time to read the greatest, bestest of the best book of all times, Romeo and Juliet. It didn't look like a fun book to read. At all. The older language confused me and just made me want to BURN the book alive. That is, if books were living.

"Hey! Len!"

I turned around and saw Leon waving me over to where he was. I walked over to him and said, "What? I have to get to my next class."

Smiling, he said, "I have to help you around here, remember? I'm your guide."

I sighed and said in a bored voice, "Fine, take me to my class. I have geometry with Mrs. Smith."

"Alright. Come on," he said as he walked towards the front of the building. I slowly walked after him, not wanting to rush. Leon, after seeing I wasn't walking as quickly as him, slowed down to match my pace. "So, Len, is it true that you're the son of Dell Kagamine, owner of the Vocaloid Music Company?"

What's with everyone asking painfully obvious questions lately? "Yes, I am the great Len Kagamine," I said with a bored, yet condescending voice.

I thought I saw Leon stiffen for a second, but he quickly relaxed himself. I must've imagined him doing that. "Oh, well how's school going so far? Do you like it?"

I shook my head lazily, not really bothering to hide how bored I was. "It's boring. Staying home is way better though. I have everything I want at home," I bragged.

Leon looked at me, as if he was studying an interesting bug he found. I found this annoying and hotly said to him, "I'll find the class myself." Without waiting for a response, I walked away from him, ignoring his questions. I walked into my next class as I thought about how Leon looked at me. I HATE it when people look at me like that. It makes me feel like I'm lower than them. I'm obviously superior to everyone in every single way.

I came into class early and I saw down in a seat near the back. As I sat there with nothing to do, a familiar voice said, "You have this class too, Len?"

I turned behind me and saw that Rui was also in the same class. Even though the question was incredibly obvious, like all the other questions asked me today, I was grateful to have at least one person I know. I said, "Oh, hey Rui."

Cheerfully, she said, "How has your day been so far?"

I still didn't know how she was able to be happy on a Monday morning. Maybe that's why she was so likeable…did I just say likeable? She wasn't my friend and she never was going to be worthy enough to be my friend. She was just….an acquaintance. A helper. Not a friend. "My day was pretty boring. First hour is English with Mr. Shion."

Rui's eyes widened as her expression turned into one of jealousy. "Mr. Shion? He's one of the nicest teachers! I was hoping I could get him for English this year."

She looked a little depressed, so I tried to cheer her up a little bit…..What? I can't cheer people up? I didn't want to see a disheartened Rui because my day would probably get a lot more boring if she was. "Ah, well…the class was pretty boring. It's probably good that you didn't have him this year," I said, trying to act happy.

She shrugged a bit and said, "Oh well. This class is geometry with Mrs. Smith. She's a nice teacher, although she gets mad whenever someone interrupts her." After she was done speaking, the bell rang. "Oh! Class started. You'll be called up soon." Without another word, she turned around to face the front of the room with her materials ready.

An old lady walked into the room with a smile on her face. "Good morning class. Welcome back from Thanksgiving break," she said with a kind voice. Looking at a piece of paper she brought into her room with her, she said, "I believe that we have a new student today. Please, come up and introduce yourself."

I walked to the front of the classroom and faced everyone. "My name is Len Kagamine, son of Dell Kagamine. I expect for everyone in this class to treat me with respect."

I had similar reactions to those in my first class. People were shocked and others looked at me with an interested look in their eyes. However, the teacher just nodded and said, "My name is Mrs. Smith and this is geometry. While you are in my class, I expect for you to listen to my rules. You will be treated like any other student in this class, even if you are the son of Dell Kagamine. Now then, your text book is on my table. Please come up and take it."

This woman…she was like Rei. Her attitude angered me, but I still respected the fact that she stood up to me. I obligingly walked up to the table and picked up the textbook. After the incident in English class, I knew better than to argue with the teacher. At least, on the first day of school. Things will change eventually…just not today.

After I sat down, Mrs. Smith started talking again. "We are studying the properties of a triangle right now. Do you know anything about this, Mr. Kagamine?" Of course I knew about triangles. I wasn't stupid like some other people. I nodded my head and pulled out a notebook and pencil. Nodding to show her approval, she started drawing triangles and displaying their properties.


Geometry wasn't so bad. It was boring in general, but Mrs. Smith was actually pretty entertaining and Rui was a good talker. "Hey, brat. Where you going?"

I whirled around, looking for the person that said it. I spotted a tall, muscular guy with black hair. He was surrounded by some other people and they were all looking at me, snickering. Angrily walking up to him, I said, "What'd ya say?

He looked at his friends, amused, as they started laughing. "Oooh, I'm so scared of a little brat. Save me from his girliness!" He stopped talking and doubled over, laughing.

I narrowed my eyes at him, ready to jump on him. Before I could jump, a familiar voice said, "Kiyoteru, that's enough!" Everyone in the group stopped laughing as they parted for someone to walk to me. "I apologize for my friends' stupidity. They're just irritated because of school," Leon humbly said.

I thought about what I was going to say for a few seconds until I just decided to say, "Yea, whatever." I turned around and walked to class, deciding to keep an eye on Kiyoteru. As I walked to my next hour, I glared angrily at everyone in the hallway. First two hours of school and someone already managed to piss me off. Great. Two hours down, a lot more to go.
