A/N: Hello minna! I'm sorry that I haven't updated this in a while... Sorry... Oh, and please re-read chapter two. I changed the story SLIGHTLY to add more time to the plot. Sorry for the shorter chapter, and enjoy!
Disclaimer: I don't own Vocaloid. Pobre Jenn.
As I'm getting my lunch out of my locker, A loud "RIN!" can be heard on the other end of the hall. I look in the distance for the owner of the voice, Gumi. She is running this way, with Teto following her.
"Hey Rin, who's your partner for the project? I only paid attention to who was mine... Piko… He's not weird, is he?"
I looked at her with a face that just spoke, really? "He's smart and responsible. Easier on your part, lucky butt."
Gumi, with a dumbfounded expression said, "When was my butt lucky?"
Teto facepalmed. I would've too, but I didn't for some odd reason.
"Drills, who do you have?" Gumi started, but as she said this, we both knew she takes it back.
"DO NOT CALL MY PIGTAILS DRILLS!" Someone's a little angry today, huh? She was just quiet a second ago… Bipolar much…
After a small yell off, Gumi remembers something. "Oh yeah, Rin, we're not gonna eat lunch with you today 'cause we have Fashion Club! I'm so excited!"
"Eww. Fashion. I'm not gonna go with you guys."
"WE KNOW!" The two said in unison. I was never the type of person who cares about how I look. Sure, I wear a little eyeliner and mascara sometimes, but that's when I want to impress someone or something. Clothes... As long as it's comfy, I like it. Think jeans, a t-shirt, and Uggs.
"Okay then guys, see ya guys later."
"Bye Rin!"
"Find a boyfriend so you won't be lonely at times like this!"
"BYE GUMI."
I'm kind of glad that they left before they remembered to ask me who my partner was again… If Teto found out that I was partnered with Kaito… I'd probably be dead and surrounded in bread crumbs.
Before I close my locker, I look at the contents inside. Books, binders, mirror graphitized with whiteboard markers, pictures of VERY sexy anime guys, pictures of Teto, Gumi, and Me, and...
A picture of Len and me when we were younger.
We were both making faces at the camera. I, with a ponytail atop of my head tied with a little white bow, was sticking my tongue out. Len, his hair shorter but still as spiky as ever, was making the stink eye. I took it off of the locker and looked at the back. "Two kindergarteners making silly faces at the camera!" was written in my mom's handwriting.
RING RING RING!
"Wait, wha..."
The hallway was empty other than me and my open locker. I take out my phone to look at the time... 11:25. Oh. That was just the second bell for lunch. Throwing the picture back in my locker and locking it quickly, I run outside, hoping that my spot isn't occupied. Which spot is it? The sakura tree of course.
Outside, I find the cherry blossoms alone, just for me. Good. I take a seat at the base of the tree, and open the lunch I have made for myself. Seaweed, rice, and an orange... What! I can't cook, so what am I supposed to do?
While I eat, I realize that I forgot something... My headphones! I always listen to my music when I'm alone.
I take my orange backpack and rummage through it. Finding my headphones at the bottom of my bag, I smile. They are a beautiful white with yellow and gray accents that light up to the beat of the music playing on the device it's connected to. These are my favorite pair.
I remember that my iPod is at home charging, and my grin turns into a tiny frown. I plug my headset into my phone instead, happy that I decided to put some music on it when I bought it.
"Yabai, tomarenai tomaranai
hiru ni yoru ni asa ni Singing So Loud
suki na koto shiteru dake da yo Girls Go Maniac... (1)"
I close my eyes.
********Time Skip!********
Five minutes of just listening to music passes by quickly, because when the five minute song ended, I felt a few taps on my right ear. I open my eyes to see a blonde boy with a ponytail and cerulean eyes. You can just guess how scared I got.
"AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Len recoiled back in shock. "Oh, I'm sorry I scared you Rin..." He said this while averting his gaze and scratching the back of his head.
Taking off my headset, I think, Well... This is awkward isn't it?Oh great. "Umm... It's okay... Len..." I said awkwardly. The atmosphere became even more awkward, mostly because we stopped talking for a probable two or three minute.
I decided to break the silence with a," So... Why did you come here to talk to me?"
"I-I wanted to t-talk about what to do for the science project..." Okay, so he felt as awkward as I did. He still wasn't looking at me.
Wait… I thought I was partnered with Kaito… "What? I'm your partner?"
"Yeah…" He moved his head in emphasis of assurance.
"Then… who is Kaito's?"
"Rinto." He said this with emphasis on the 'TO.'
Well… I feel pretty stupid right now. It feels great…
Yeah...
No.
….
…
…..
…Silence. AGAIN. It's way too quiet. After about 30 seconds, Len starts to put his hands on his knees, as if they're sore from standing. "D-Do you want to sit down?"
"Umm… Yeah…" Len's response. OH MY GOSH. This is way to awkward for me to handle and I just want to calm down and I can't and Len is FINALLY talking to me after like, how many years and It's freaking pissing me off and I want to stop the awkwardness right now and just…
"H-Hey, Rin… Since lunch is about to end, can we just meet at that ice cream place a block away on Saturday?"
Lunch is almost over? I pull out my phone to check the time, 11:56. We have to head to class soo, but before I head to my History class, I tell Kagamine Len something.
"Sure, shota."
I sprint for my classroom, and I'm sure his face was hilarious.
LEN POV
"Sure, shota."
WHAT THE FUCK? I haven't heard that… n-nickname… since… sixth grade. Now, I know I "totally forgot" about Rin, but honestly, I really didn't. Because, simply, how could I? She was my best friend since, what, kindergarten? I think we maybe have met before that! I've always have tried to talk to Rin, but whenever I have the chance to, that moment slips away like butter on pancakes. Some GREAT examples are Kaito, being glomped by girls, Kaito, constant confession rejections, and last but not least, GODDAMN KAITO. Sure, he's my best friend, but he can be annoying. He is constantly going out with girls, not paying attention in class, and plus, he is not the best influence out there… I honestly think EVERYONE can agree on that.
I walked into my art class, thinking I looked fine when Neru comes up to me and says, "Hey Len! Where were you at lunch? Everyone was looking for you while Kaito and I were cuddling... Um, Are you okay? You're cheeks are all flushed."
CRAP. Why am I blushing? Is it because I finally had a chance to talk to Rin in forever and I got nervous? Am I getting sick or something? Is there something else going on?
"Hehehe… I wasn't feeling good, so I went to the nurse's office…" I lie. I can't tell her I was talking to Rin… Neru and Miku don't like her that much… I don't understand why. I also didn't really talk to Rin because of this reason too. I feeling that if I speak to Rin and those two see me, they'll beat her to a pulp.
"Oh, okay."
I'm just glad that she's blonde.
…Wow, I am such a hypocrite.
