Chapter 3: These Crazy Females
Len's POV
I just stared stupidly up at the girls for a moment. They stared back at me, except not as stupid. Er, I mean they didn't look as stupid as I did. I mean, I think that I looked stupid… ah, forget it. The point is, the four girls were looking at me like they didn't know what to think of the situation. And honestly, I didn't know what to think either.
"GET OFFA ME!" Mikuo yelled, his face as red as a tomato. He pushed me off of him, and since I was too busy trying to figure out a way to make myself not look stupid, I fell into the green-haired girl. She screamed "EW, COOTIES!" and shoved me towards the Mikuo look-alike. Instead of catching me, which would be the NICE thing to do, the tealette sidestepped and I fell face first into the aisle. My first thought was, this floor smells like dog poo.
I coughed and lifted myself onto my knees. My messy blond hair was falling out of its small ponytail at the base of my neck, and there were smudges on my white shirt. My pendant had fallen out from under my shirt, and I quickly tucked it back in before anyone noticed.
"What was that for?" I spat angrily. I looked up and saw that this turquoise haired demon was smirking at me. I tried my best to ignore the laughter and giggling coming from Luka and the braided girl. I stared daggers at them, and they immediately stopped snickering. Yet I still heard laughter behind me.
"And you!" I said, whirling around to face the green haired girl. She stopped abruptly and looked startled, like she didn't expect anyone to blame it on her. "You think it's funny to push me onto the floor and almost break my nose?!" She looked scared.
"I-I'm sorry," she stuttered. "I th-thought that M-Miku would catch you… I'm sorry!" She looked terrified, and started crying. Uh oh… I can't stand seeing girls cry, and this time it was my fault. I quickly felt all the anger drain out of me to be replaced with guilt.
"Look… I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you," I said. I wanted to put an arm around her, or at least calm her down a bit. Her crying was making me uncomfortable, and the bus driver was glaring at us through the rear view mirror. "I'm sorry, I didn't want to go off on you… are you okay? What's your name?"
She stopped crying and looked at me. I noticed that she was about my height, which isn't a surprise, because I hadn't hit my growth spurt yet. "I'm Gumi," she sniffled, and then her eyes brightened a little. "Do you like carrots?" she asked. I was a bit taken aback by the question, but I've heard weirder.
"Yeah, they're great," I smiled at her. Personally, I like bananas more, but I'd do anything to cheer her up at the moment.
Her entire face lit up. "Yay! You're my best friend now! I love you!" she said gleefully, throwing her arms around my neck. This was not the reaction I wanted, but at least she cheered up. I patted her back awkwardly and gently pushed her off me. She skipped off to her seat, saying over her shoulder, "See you in History!"
That girl was weird, but I admired her positivity.
I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned around and looked up… into the face of the bus driver. Crap.
"Son, what are you doing back here? Stop flirting with the girls, you're bothering them. Now get back to your damn seat, you're going to make everyone late!" he growled. I saw a turquoise head behind him. What was her name? Miku. She smirked at me again, and I knew that it was her that told the driver I was harassing them. My face burned. That little—
"Excuse me, sir bus driver sir," I heard Luki's voice say, "but little Len here was just helping Gumi out. She was upset, and he was just trying to help." Luki was suddenly next to me, with an innocent grin on his face. The bus driver just scowled at him.
"You get back in your seat too, young man." he said. He let go of my shoulder and walked back to the wheel, grumbling, "I hate this job."
I sat down and turned to Luki. He was smiling, and his face looked like he was expecting me to praise him. I wasn't in the mood, and I didn't feel like giving him the satisfaction of knowing that he came to my rescue, so instead, I crossed my arms and said, "Where were you? I could've used your help sooner."
He put his hand to his chest, pretending to be offended. "I was talking to some lovely ladies in the back, and then I went to distract my dear ol' sister from your floor failure."
I was confused for a minute. Luki's sister? And why would she have cared, I was just… searching for dust bunnies under the seats. Yeah. I'm a gentleman like that. Then it clicked. Pink hair… laughing…
"Luka's your sister?" I said. "I should've known," I said, as he nodded with an amused look on his face. There was silence for a few more minutes, in which I just looked at the scenery rushing by through my window. I thought of Neru, and I worried about how she would handle this private school. We had been homeschooled by our grandparents our entire lives, and with that being said, neither of us had a lot of friends. Well, Neru had plenty of Facebook and Twitter friends, but she wasn't used to hanging around physical beings. I was worried that she would have trouble fitting in, seeing as she was so addicted to her phone. It amused me to think that awaiting her at school was a strictly enforced "no cell phone" rule. At least she was old enough to drive herself to school, instead of taking this weird bus.
The bus finally arrived at school, and the driver hustled us off and quickly screeched out of the parking lot, where Mikuo said, "Hope the old dude doesn't run over any kids or puppies." Luki and I laughed while Gakupo just smiled creepily.
We chatted for about 10 minutes, talking about the summer and the recent sports games we watched, until the bell rang. Mikuo and Gakupo ran off, trying to get to the sophomore wing before the second bell rang, while Luki and I just walked across the hall to our homeroom.
As soon as I walked in, I noticed that most of the seats were already taken. Everyone else had gotten there early and set up camp in their own social groups. There were only two seats open, one in the back and one near the windows. I started heading towards the window seat, but Luki zoomed past me.
"Dibs!" he called over his shoulder, and slid into the desk like a baseball player sliding into home base. I realized that every desk in proximity to him was occupied by giggling girls that kept glancing at him and me. Great, he's got a fan club.
I took the only open desk. I peeked at the people sitting around me as I dug in my backpack for a paper. Sitting behind me was that turquoise-haired demon, Miku. Great. I have to deal with her all year.
There was a boy sitting on my left that caught my eye. He was a couple inches taller than me, even sitting down, with messy brown-blond hair held back from his face with random pins. With his long legs crossed in front of him and his arm on the back of the chair and smirking, he looked amused by me. I had a strong feeling of uneasiness by the look on his face as he stared me down with a smile.
I avoided his gaze and looked to my right. I could still feel his eyes boring into the back of my head.
That's when I noticed the girl on my right. She looked… well honestly, she looked an awful lot like me.
She had short blonde hair with bangs held back by three white pins. On the top of her head was a white headband with a giant bow, making her look a little like a bunny. She was wearing the same yellow, black, and white shirt as me, and the same black shorts too. The thing that captivated me most was her eyes. They were big, blue orbs that reminded me of the ocean… or the sky.
"Hey, who's that blonde girl?" I leaned over and asked the girl in front of me. She turned around and looked at me. The expression she had was blank.
"That's Rin Kagamine."
Aright dudes, that's it for this chapter! Once again, I apologize for the late uploads, I just constantly run into the impossible walls of writers' block. Thanks for reading, and please review!
