Rin POV
Wednesdays are so very horrible, and having to deal with a rich brat didn't help either.
"The bed was hard and the blanket was too thin!" I'm getting a migraine, this kid is like a big baby!
"I showed you where the extra blankets were, didn't I?" exaggerated, I closed my bed room door in his face and changed for school.
"Don't close the door on me, girl!" he roared, but was smart enough to not turn the doorknob. I finished changing, shoved past the screaming idiot, and went outside in school uniform. I checked the mail, ignoring Len as he continued to list off complaints. I opened the flap and was surprised to see a package, and a note. I took it, and went inside, Len followed me back, still running his mouth.
"The bed wasn't springy enough! I might as well sleep in that couch! Plus your food really didn't fill me up! I grew hungry by midnight!" he babbled, and I took a peek at the note.
Ms. Shion
Mr. Len is going to be attending your high school, attached to this is his uniform and schedule, please continue to watch over him.
Kagamine Co.
I felt a groan pass my lips, and I looked at my single lunch, and back at the clock. I don't have time to cook another batch of rice. I'll just share with Miki again. Tiredly, I tossed Len the bag of clothes which he caught, looking at it in confusion.
"What-"
"Change into those clothes, you're going to school," I answered his unfinished question, the only upside in this, he's not going to trash my house while I'm gone. That's it.
"What?" he looked as if I told him I ate his foot for dinner, "no way I'm going to a public school"
"Too bad," I swear, this is becoming a common phrase, "deal with it."
"You might be able to submit me this far, but school is too much," he held his ground defiantly dropping the package. I thought of a way to make him comply.
"No dinner tonight then," please let this work, I glanced at Len who just rolled his eyes.
"So? I'll just go out and buy something then. Probably will taste better too."
"You don't have a car, I don't have a car, and I'm not giving you any money to spend," I contained my smirk as he began to shift, suddenly looking unsure.
"H-how dare you threaten me" he growled, but grudgingly picked up the clothes and went to his room. Relief flooded over me, I really didn't have the energy to fight with him. Not yet, at least, too early. I waited impatiently, tapping my foot. After ten minutes, he finally came back out.
"Done?" I looked him over, the uniform fit nicely. He had his ponytail up again, and didn't look too bad. His eyes were sharp as usual. I turned away, stretching my arms. Okay, so he had good looks, what do you expect from a famous singer?
"Come on!" I led him to the door, and was about to lock, when Len began to jabber away, again.
"What about breakfast?" he asked, looking like he wanted to go back inside.
"No breakfast, lunch only," I told him and properly locked the door.
"But I'm hungry!" he whined, I rolled my eyes.
"you should have eaten last night!" I sighed, he stayed quiet for a moment, and I began walking.
"Wait a minute, we're walking?"
"No, I'm going to call Santa to pick us up in his sleigh- Of course we're walking!"
"But isn't the school far?" he stayed behind, but I kept going, not wanting to look back.
"Better start now" I grumbled, getting pretty annoy by his remarks.
"Wait!" his voice was dim, and I reluctantly slowed while he caught up, "don't leave me like that!"
"Your fault for not moving" I scolded, he shot me a glare, but remained silent. I counted the houses like everyday, waiting for-
"RIN! You are late!" Miki stormed up to me, ignoring the startled Len, and clasped my shoulders in a crushing grip, "What were you doing!?"
"Watching over that," I indicated the boy next to me, and she let go, still glowering at me. Great, I managed to annoy two people this morning, I'm on a roll.
"Who's that!" Len hissed, "she's too loud, I don't like her." And so, Beauty meets the Beast. Miki whirled onto him, her long pink hair whipped my face, ow.
"What'd you say, Missy?" she hissed, I held in a laugh.
"Get your eyes checked, Redhead!" the insult made Len angrier, "I'm a boy!" That seemed to get Miki, but it only made it worse for Len.
"Wh- Pfft, Girlllyyy!~" she cracked up, Len turned as bright as Miki's hair.
"I wouldn't be talking! Redhair went out of fashion years ago!"
"HAHA! Of course you would know!" Miki clutched her stomach and I snorted with her. I continued walking, and to my surprise, Miki and Len followed me, but still arguing.
"Redhead!"
"Ponytail!"
"Ugly!"
"Gay!"
"Stupid!
"Retard!" back and forth they went, and I found myself chuckling.
"Hag!"
"Bastard!"
"Peasant!"
"DRU- peasant?" Miki's voice faltered as she registered the word. She looked at him in confusion, "Excuse me?"
"Just being honest," he smirked.
"Right," she exchanged a glance with me, "who're you now?"
... Yep, that's my Miki.
"I am Len Kagamine!" he smirked proudly, Miki's eyes widened and me in shock.
"K-Kagamine?" she asked, I nodded a bit dully, her eyes turned into a flair and she rounded on me, "Rin Shion, tell me what the heck is going on right now, or I will never give you mother's lunch again!" Ship.
"H-he lives with me now" I mumbled, waiting for the questions that I know will spill out.
"When?"
"Yesterday"
"Why?"
"The brat-"
"Shut up, Commoner!"
"-needs to learn respect"
"Did you volunteer?"
"'Course not" I snorted, "this was their decision." There was a moment of silence as a furious Len and a satisfied, yet still annoyed Miki walked next to me. Well, Len lagged behind shooting daggers at us. Thanks Miki, for not freaking out.
"Piko!" Miki gasped suddenly, freaking out for Piko instead is perfecly fine.
"Miki!" he smiled at her, she turned a light shade of pink, and I couldn't help but to giggle. "how are you?" ah~ Piko, your politeness is sweet.
"I'm doing great!" she laughed, and I scooted away from them, Len was getting closer though… I lunged at his wrist and gave a good yank. Unfortunately that caught Piko's attention.
"Who's that, Rin?" he asked curiously, "a friend?"
"Uh…sure, yeah," I nodded, looking for an escape, "say don't you have Cross Country practice?"
"Not right now, there's a meet today after school, so we don't have morning practice," Piko looked happy to be out today, because of Miki of course. I watched as he smiled at Len, who was looking at him through searching eyes. "Hello, I'm Utatane Piko."
"Kagamine Len."
"Woah!" Piko different colored eyes, he has heterochromia, widened at the name. "I've heard of you!" of course you have Piko, haven't we all? "you're that one singer!" Len smiled proudly.
"So you've heard of me!" he crowed, I resisted the urge to claw that smug look off his face.
"Of course!" Piko laughed, "my sister replays your song over and over in her room!" his sister is… he had a sister. I didn't know that.
"Really?" Len looked happy that his fans were here, he tried to move towards Piko, but something stopped him. I forgot I was holding his hand, but I shall use this to my advantage.
"We have to go, Piko! Ms. Megurine wants to see him before school" I dragged Len away from the two, but I was still able to hear them.
"Anyways, Miki-san, do you want to go to the Cross Country meet today? We're allowed to bring one person, and I can't find anyone else…" his voice trailed off.
"R-Really?" Miki, sweet little Miki, sounded faint, "s-sure, I guess" I giggled out loud.
"You know, I like him" announced Len, "Piko is a good guy"
"Hey! He gets to be called by his name and I don't!" I dropped his hand, whirling on him. He shrugged.
"Piko's nicer."
"I am letting you live in my house!" I retorted, I stormed into the school building.
"Rin?" I stopped as I found Ms. Megurine, "what are you doing here before class?"
"To talk about the new student-"
"This is a class room!?" Len's voice scoffed, "thought it would be bigger"
"Oh, you must be Kagamine." Ms. Megurine dropped her tone like a hot rock. I silently cheered, finally, someone who understands his annoyance!
"Yes, I am" he smirked, I hit the back of his head.
"Show respect!" I hissed to him, from the impact of my hand, he was already in a half bow, and he rose. The teacher rose an eyebrow.
"Alright, just remain out here Mr. Kagamine" she nodded to him, and as she left to get back into the classroom, she whispered in my ear.
"Sorry about this," she closed the door, leaving me grinning. She's cool, when Mr. Kamui doesn't get to her first.
"That hurt!" he mumbled, rubbing the back of his head.
"Man up, Len" I snorted, and he glared at me, I stuck out my tongue.
"Whatever," he sighed as he leaned on the walls. The bell rang and I went into class, leaving Len by the doorway. Luka was straightening papers, and nodded to me as I came in, she gave me a wink. I laughed, as the rest of the class came in.
"Oh my gosh! Is that Len Kagamine?"
"What? No way! I didn't see him!"
"What's he doing here?"
"He's wearing a school uniform…I think he's attending the school!"
"No way!" Most of these voices were girls….most of them. I wish Miki was here, but she has different classes. Darn.
"Class! Settle down!" Luka clapped calmly, and everyone grew silent. She smiled sweetly. "as you know, there was a new student in the hall," she paused to see if anyone dared to talk,"and I want you to treat him politely, and normally," she looked at the a few girls seated at the front, who started giggling. She sighed, "come in" Len strode in with the air of a prince. I resisted the urge to fling my pencil at him.
"As you should know, I am Len Kagamine" he pointed to himself, and I almost kicked poor Gumi in the back. "I'm here because I want to learn the ways of a normal teenager." I felt my anger boiling as I watched a couple girls swoon, yes swoon, at his words.
"Alright, are there any questions?" Luka looked at the girls with an icy look. No one dared raise their hands. "now, Mr. Kagamine, please sit next to…" I crossed my fingers at this point, trying not to look at the empty seat next to me. "Mr. Honne, please raise your hand" Dell waved over at Len, as the singer boy walked over to him. Even boys are enjoying his attention.
"Alright class, now you are all equals, and I only treat you as students" She told us lightly, "any disturbance from any one of you will be punished."
Then came lunch. Exciting.
"What do you expect me to eat, rocks!?" Len shouted at me when I had shoved him my lunchbox. He looked at my rice formations, "they're solid!"
"I'm sorry! Next time, cook your own meal!" I made to turn around when I saw a crowd of girls huddle around the walls. I rolled my eyes and muttered, "maybe you're little fanclub will donate some food."
"Good idea!" he shouted, and dropped my box, leaving me to stare at him as he approached the corner.
I'm going to kill him.
"Rin?" Miki came from behind, blinking at me, "what'cha doin, lovely?"
"Planning mass murder on blond idiots," I replied sourly, picking up my dropped food.
"Now, now," she chuckled swinging an arm over me, "suicide isn't the right way to go."
I cracked a grin, letting her lead me away to our usual spot.
"So," I started as we sat down, "how was Piko?"
"Pi-" she blushed, "you heard it this morning! Don't make me say it!"
"But it's cuter when you explain these things," I giggled, chewing on a bit of rice.
"Rin! Don't tease me!"
"Alright! Alright but-" I was cut off when a girl suddenly walked up to us. Miki looked up too, and the newcomer started to fiddle with her skirt.
"Sorry to disturb you two!" she squeaked, "but, um, I was wondering how you-" she glanced at me, "talk to Len Kagamine so well."
"Oh!" I gave a quick look to Miki, "it's just that... well-"
"They ran into each other this morning!" Miki covered for me, "she accidentally made him drop his lunch and they had a bit of an argument, that's why she offered her lunch to him earlier."
"Ah, I see..." the girl looked thoughtful, "but you really shouldn't fight with Len, he's famous you know!" Well, duh.
"I know," I laughed, "sorry, I'll try to be nicer!"
By the time she walked away, Miki and I were whispering to each other.
"Rin, you're going to get yourself killed."
"Alright! I'll try to be nicer to him in public-"
"No, that's not it," she picked at her food, "I'm saying that if one of those girls find out he's living with you-"
"Then they'll use my bones to raise Satan," I finished with a shudder, "thanks for the memo, Miki."
Len POV
Finally, the dreaded day was over. School was so boring, I couldn't do anything without getting told off by the teachers. Good thing I had my fans, they were so nice to me. Too bad I had to leave them, I've got to deal with Little Miss Nobody now.
"Come on, I'm not waiting all day" speak of the devil. She was already at the gate, her blonde hair swayed lightly.
"Pushy, much?" I snorted, she rolled her eyes and began walking before I was even close. I had to jog to keep up. "hey! Don't leave me behind!" this girl was so bossy and rude, it's ironic that she wants me to be better.
"Man up" she deadpanned.
"What are you talking about? I'm already so manly!"
"Sure you are singer-boy" she chuckled, I scowled.
"You're just jealous you can't sing" I scoffed, recovering a bit. She stayed quiet this time and I knew I hit a spot. There was a silence now, and I decided to walk ahead. Striding forwards, I kept my back straight.
"Hey! Singer-boy!" Rin, er, I mean her voice made me spin. She was looking at me in faint amusement. " The house is right here"
"I knew that, I was trying to get home.
"Yeah, that's in the other way" she smirked, and I shamefully followed her in, my pride taking another crushing blow.
I hate this, I'm stuck in the middle of nowhere.
~time skip~
Dinner was just as bad as yesterday's, too much salt, and too hard. The girl took a shower first, and while I waited I decided to peek into her room. I'm bored, and I want to see if she has a diary~ I tiptoed into her room, and flipped on the lights. Whoa, this room is messy! I carefully moved around the clumps of random objects, and searched around her bed.
Near her bedside there was a picture. Two unfamiliar faces, and one annoyingly familiar. I recognized her instantly by the white bow and short blonde hair. The other female was much older, and more fierce. Brown hair, red eyes, and a wide smile. The only male was laughing at the camera. The family photo, I'm guessing. I wonder where her parents are. I moved from the photo onto a piece of white paper on the bedside. I looked at it. I've seen this kind of paper, a music sheet. Guitar notes and lyrics. So she does sing, either that or Redhead does. Interested, I picked it up.
…It's already over, isn't it?
It was just a short while ago when
We talked about a lot of things
Nostalgically thinking back to
When we would meet up at our usual place
Okay. So that wasn't so bad. Could be better, of course, but it's alright.
The shower stopped, but I wasn't paying attention, still looking at it. I heard light clattering of feet, and that caught my attention. I tried to escape, but I didn't move very far before she appeared in the doorway, her hair still dripping wet. She stared at me, wide-eyed.
..
She's going to eat me.
"Len…"
"Wait! What's this?" I waved the page, "can you sing?"
"Sir, I'm going to say this once," she crossed her arms, "please get out of my room."
"But-"
"You will put that down and get out of my room," she glared. I inwardly cringed at her tone. I put the sheet down slowly on the bed and brushed passed her. I have a feeling those lyrics were next to the picture for a reason.
"Who are they, in the picture?" I asked as I left for my room, she stared at me.
"Who do you think?" she snorted and closed the door. I should have looked at the picture more, I'm very curious now. Oh well, I always get what I want. I'll just ask my fan girls about it tomorrow, they're bound to know something.
~End of Chapter 3~
Have fun reading some more~
