A/N: Hey guys, so, I'm more likely just going to keep this in Gumi's Point Of View and in the end, I'll reveal a little something about the story's history if I seriously feel like it. So yea, enjoy the second chapter of The Story Of Us.
Disclaimer: I don't own vocaloid
The first two month of school went by just as fast as the summer went by. Rin, Yukari, Mew and I had started to become even closer friends than before. We talked about everything and anything. I also started to see more of my old friends Len and Miki. Miki was always kind of a push over. Miku and I loved to push her around last year and poke her to see her reaction. I found it to be hilarious. Yet, she was always that type of person to go to in case something bad can happen. She didn't have many friends and I noticed that. I was glad to call her my friend, even though my personality towards her would never let me tell her that in person. Then there was Len. Len had become a bother figure to me. Last year, all our old friends started to ship us together because we seemed to look good together. We were the mature ones. The ones who would slap sense into you if you didn't something stupid. I admit, I did like him just a little bit towards the end of last yet and the beginning of this year. Eventually I realized how if we were to ever date and break up, I would lose his friendship and that's the last thing I ever wanted. So I left behind those feelings and moved on.
In government, I met a girl named IA. She was very punk and loved to call herself ratchet. She was kinda rebellious but at the same time very active in Vocal High, it was funny, but I kinda liked it. We became faster friends than I had with anyone else and I'm sure that everyone else noticed too. It was an ironic way that we became friends too. About 5 of us went to the first government meeting and then, after waiting for 20 minutes, we decided to look for the advisor. We looked around the whole school until we realized that the advisor left the school. We made a great team and from that point on, we became friends. IA had the same lunch period as I did but didn't like the lunch room at all. She said it smelled like day old cleaning products and the boy's locker room combined. Which was true, considering that the boy's locker room was actually a few rooms away.
In k-Pop, I met some new people. They were really into the club and mainly seniors. I loved talking to the seniors, even though they loved to pick on me. I felt more like a little sister than a club member. Even though it was the beginning of the year and the fact that I'm usually optimistic, I was always worried for next year. Almost all the members were seniors and there was so much to be learned. But the seniors counted on one junior to carry on the k-Pop tradition, and that junior is Gakupo. He had the Aura of a samurai but he was extremely loyal to the club. The club looked more like his home than anything else. He told me about a festival that was going on in the next month. The winter festival. It was the biggest festival of the year and many clubs participated in it. K-Pop would be performing. As the only freshman that officially joined, I was really excited to join, even if I was new. I loved being with them and always excited for practice.
Everything was going as smooth as I would like until one day, Rin said something different that would change the way everything would be. "Is it weird to dream about giving your girlfriend a hickey?" She asked. I kind of froze when she said that. "Girlfriend?" Yukari asked. So it wasn't just me who heard that. "You're a lesbian?" Asked Mew, just as surprised as we were. "No, I'm bi." Rin replied. That word hit me just as hard as the word girlfriend did. I didn't have anything against bisexuals; In fact, I was one. I liked both genders and I've dated both. My last two relationships ended badly due to my parents, especially my last girlfriend Luka. I loved Luka with all my heart, even if she was suicidal. She made me feel…special. She used to tell me I was her reason for living, the reason for her next breath. I missed her…a lot. Weird thing was, Rin and Luka's personalities were incredibly similar. Although their appearances weren't. "What about you?" Mew asked. "What about me?" I asked back. "Your preference." She said. "Uhh…I go either way really," I said shrugging off the problem "If Rin really loves her girlfriend then, it doesn't matter what she does right?" They looked at me liked I said something weird, but it was my opinion in the end. The conversation died just as fast as it came up, and while thinking about the conversation, a horrible joke came to my mind. My joke was to text Rin later and say that I had a crush on some one when in reality, I didn't like anyone. It was a horrible joke, but at that time, I didn't realize what would happen.
*Later that Day*
I got home and immediately started texting Rin. We started talking about everything and anything. Eventually, the day passed us by and it became 9 at night. We've been texting from 2 to 9. Eventually, we started talking about what happened earlier that day. She told me that appreantly her girlfriend had broken up with her recently and she really missed her. I felt bad for her. She was a really good person and it was a bit depressing to see her so sad about someone. Depression was horrible, I knew that first hand. Since we were in the topic, I decided to tell her about my new found "crush." She was so happy for me and begged me to tell her who it was. I told her to guess and she told me to at least tell her the gender. I sent a smiley face and told her to guess again. After about an hour of her guessing, my mom finally got annoyed and ripped my phone from my hands. "Who have you been texting this whole time!?" she yelled at me. "I told you earlier, I'm texting Rin." I said. "Really? Let me see." She said. After reading for 2 minutes she yelled again. "Why are you texting a bisexual!?" She yelled. "She's just a friend." I said sitting up from the couch I was lying on. "It doesn't matter! Why would you want a friend like that?" She asked.
"A friend is a friend."
"You don't need one like this."
"Well, that's too bad because she's already my friend."
"No, I don't want you to be friends with her."
"What? Just because she's bi? I'm bi too, I've told you that before."
"There's no such thing as bisexual! You either like boys, or you like girls, there is no middle."
"Why not?"
"There isn't! I'm taking this from you and you're not getting it back!"
"Uh, okay then." I said. Geez, now what am I going to tell Rin? Hey, my mom hates you because you're bi so she took away my phone. no...that's horrible. I rubbed my face and shook my head. It was already late, I should get to bed. I got into bed and thought about every possible way to tell Rin that it wasn't her fualt that my phone was taken. With laying in bed for about two hours, I fell asleep without an answer to my problem.
*Next Day*
I woke up and saw that my face felt hard like I was crying in my sleep. I didn't remember my dream though, but I woke up with a horrible feeling. My mom walked into my room. "Do you know what time she texted you?" She asked me. "No." I said. How would I? You took my phone. "She texted you until 3 in the morning. She's obessed with you." She said. "oh." I said. I did not want to do this so early in the morning. "Please," My mom started to look very simpathetic "stay away from her." I nodded slowly to show I understood, and also the fact that I was actually pretty tired. I got dressed and decided to take the bus to school that day. Hopefully I would see Rin and be able to explain everything to her that morning. Unforchentaly, I didn't.
Every period passed by way too slowly and I wasn't even paying attention in any of the classes. I was thinking whether to listen to my mom and avoid Rin or to rebel against my mother and go talk to Rin in the lunch room. Eventually the lunch period came and I looked at the stair case. If I went up, I follow my mom. If I go down, I rebel and see Rin. I took the second option and went to go see Rin. I couldn't just leave things the way they were with her. She didn't need more stress right now. As I walked slowly, I saw something new. A white hair in the under layer of my bangs. I didn't know what to think about this but it was only one, so I avoided it. I finally got to the lunch table and I felt awkward to sit down. Before I could even say hi, Rin got up and hugged me. I didn't hug her back because I felt too guilty. She looked at me and said sorry over and over again. Inside me, I felt so bad and I felt worried for her. She looked like she was on the brink of tears. That was the first time I decided to do something I've almost never done before. I faked a smile and told her everything was okay. I came up with a lie on the spot. "I was out late yesterday and on the bus texting you. While I was texting you someone stanched my phone and ran off with it, but it's okay! I needed a break from technology anyways." I said somewhat smiling. "I thought you were mad at me or something so I decided to spam you." Rin said, a little less sad but still sad. " Well, you spammed a criminal." I laughed. "Are you okay?" Yukari asked. "me? Fine. Just lost a phone." I said. Damn it! Shouldn't have said that. I looked over at Rin, and she was a bit sadder than before. I hugged her and said that everything was alright. That I wasn't mad at her for any reason and that she should cheer up. I'll never let her know the truth. I want to see her happy.
*A week later*
It was the last week of the month and Winter Festival practice had started. Gakupo had told me that the practice would be from right after school to 6 at night. It was pretty late at night and I told my mom the night before practice started. The next morning, she gave me my phone back. She asked me to not text Rin and I agreed. From what I told my mother, I had an argument with Rin over the fact of why I stopped texting her. So in my mom's mind, I don't like Rin at all, in fact, we hate each other. I was okay with my mom knowing that I hated Rin. I would never be able to hang out with her after school, or on vacations. Never go to each other's birthday party's or have a sleep over. That was the price I paid for peace.
At school, another 6 periods passed pretty quickly and I went to lunch. IA was there at lunch; she told me that the library had closed for a teacher's meeting today. I smiled to see a friend here with me, but then it quickly faded when I realized that I was going to tell Rin the truth about what happened that day about a week ago. I didn't know what to do. We got to the lunch table and all of them smiled and waved to us. We waved back and I introduced IA to everyone. Apparently, IA and Yukari had the same P.E period together. One less person to introduce her to. I smiled and said "Guess what I got." I said. They all looked at me. I took out my phone and they all looked happy for me. "You got your phone back!" Rin said all happy. "Yeah, cool right?" I said. Mew and Yukari saw flaws in my lies and called me out for it. IA didn't know anything and was confused. I gave up and told them to wait while I wrote down the truth in my phone. I didn't need IA thinking that my mom was a crazy weirdo too. I finished and passed it to Rin first. I couldn't look at her face after she read it but I saw her hand pass the phone to Yukari and Mew. I looked at IA and started a conversation with her. I couldn't look at her. Was she sad? Mad? A combination of the both of them? "That's crazy!" Mew said handing me back my phone. I showed a sad smile to them and nodded to let them know that I knew that as well. I didn't look at Rin for the rest of the period and we didn't talk either. I wanted to avoid her because I didn't know what she was feeling. I was scared and hid my fear behind a fake smile and conversations with IA.
