Miku made a huge yawn whilst stretching her arms and legs. She walked very slowly even though she knew she was late for class. The cyan haired girl had not slept that night and was feeling very fatigue. Her eyes were really heavy, and felt like she could drop on the floor and sleep at any given time.

She was not able to sleep because of what happened yesterday. She had thought about it all night; and had also been crying a lot. A deep feeling of guilt and sorrow had taken over her.

She didn't even have the time to brush her hair, so they were rather untidy. She disliked it so much ... To be honest, it annoyed her a bit.

'My hair is really too long…'

She arrived at school in the middle her class, everyone watched her as if they had seen a monster. Well, that was to be expected, she strongly resembled a zombie came out from a horror movie; she had large pockets under her eyes and her hair like that was horrible.

The professor folded his arms and looked sternly Miku. She knew what he would say, but she was in no mood to receive a lecture.

"Why are you so late?"
"Um ... Well ... I woke up late," Miku lied.
"I see. Well then, the next time this happens I will have to keep you after class."
"Okay ..."
"Now, sit in your place and open your textbook to page 236."

Miku nodded and walked over to her desk. A student then put one foot in her way and the girl stumbled. She then almost fell, but she didn't; she had clung to a desk just in time. Most of the students laughed. Miku avoided their mocking contortions by sitting in her seat and opening her textbook to the right page. The professor motioned them to be quiet and continued its normal course. Miku sighed and laid her head on her desk. She looked Luka who listened carefully to the teachers' recitation. Usually, when she looked at her, the taller girl in response would smile and greet her, but this time ... Nothing. It hurt. It seemed as if Luka would never forgive her at all...
The shy girl closed her eyes and the words of the professor fell out in her mind until the point when she could not hear her teacher's words.

It was a pleasant and peaceful dream. There were no trees on the horizon; only grass and violets which filled a vast majority of the field. Birds were singing an enchanting melody which was pleasant to ones ear. The sun shone with a brilliance never seen before. The scenery was beautiful, almost indescribable. But what was more; was the person with bright pink hair.

With a huge smile, Miku approached this person. But gradually as she progressed, the landscape changed: the sky was turning purple almost black, and the sun became a bittersweet bloodshot and violets were fading away. The silhouette in the distance dissolved away slowly. Although Miku ran to join her, she could not catch up. The small girl reached out, hoping to catch her, but these efforts were in vain.

" Luka ... Luka," she murmured, "Luka ... Don't go ... Please."

But she then disappeared from her field of vision, and she could hear her laughing with an atrocious aura of evil. Miku knelt on the ground, helpless.

"-Ku ..."

A male voice broke through her mind; one which she did not recognize. The landscape started to perish away, leaving only darkness.

"Hatsune Miku!"

Miku looked up and gained eye contact with a pair of hazel eyes which watched her sternly. The girl, shocked, shook violently and fell from her chair, bumping her head against a desk. She blushed with embarrassment, whilst the other students laughed and whispered among themselves. Miku once again avoided eye contact with any of them and sat back down on her chair.

"Stop sleeping in class and do me the honour of listening to my lesson. This will affect you if you do not make the notes and the chance of you passing without them will be very low."

"O-okay..."

Tears welled in her eyes. She stared at window; she didn't want her peers to see her crying. The shy girl couldn't notice the worried look that Luka posed on her.
Miku's hands began to tremble. This dream made her afraid. She was still relieved to learn that it was a dream and not the reality. The cyan haired girl felt guilty. Ashamed, selfish, sad and alone ... All of that just because Luka might hate her.

The professor then spoke:

"Well, now that it's settled, we'll watch a movie. I then want you to make me a short paragraph on what you saw and your thoughts on the clip."

Miku sighed. Now they were going to watch a boring movie even if she was tired and she had no desire to watch it. It is highly likely to fall asleep. The professor inserted the disk and started the movie.

Miku laid her head on her desk and tried to concentrate and not fall asleep ... Which proved very difficult.
As expected, the film was boring; it was the story of a girl who was being harassed by many people. This was more like Miku these days. But the girl in the movie had no friends and she was called a monster, a slit-mouthed woman and all sorts of things that no-one would like to be called. Miku found it a bit sad even if she was about to fall asleep on many occasions. The girl in the movie had still managed to make a friend. Miku immediately thought about Luka. The resemblance was quite daunting. In the movie, the girl was shy and awkward whilst her friend, in contrast, was popular ...

Miku could not restrain a smile that erased immediately when she noticed that the two girls in question were going to ... Kiss. Not on the cheek, but on the lips! A sudden reddening appeared on the face of Miku when she saw the scene. She threw a quick little look at Luka, who was watching the scene very carefully. The shy girl looked again the screen and the two girls were actually kissing. Most of the boys were whistling, while the girls closed their eyes. Miku felt really uncomfortable.
She looked again Luka ... And their eyes met for the first time in the day. Miku rose from her chair, quite violently so, knocking it to the floor.

Students watched the girl with an air of astonishment. The teacher raised an eyebrow, wondering what Miku was doing ... Again.

"I ... I need to go to the bathroom," stammered the shy girl.

Miku did not even let the teacher respond and went out of the classroom, literately running.
When she arrived at the bathroom, she placed her trembling hands on the taps. She turned on the cold water to rinse her face in an attempt to calm herself down. She breathed very heavily.

'Is it normal for two girls to do such a thing?'

This was not the first time she saw two girls kissing, but she had never been so nervous about it ... But what struck her most was that during this scene was Luka. Is it possible that...? Miku then pinched her arms in an attempt to discard those thoughts from her mind. It was impossible ...

When she had calmed down enough; she returned to classes and gave a long sigh of relief when she noticed that the movie was finished.

After the fourth period, Miku was allayed that school had ended, but at the same time she was a bit sad; Luka had not even talked to her... Not even once.
The girl grabbed her bag and left. The trek home would be difficult; she was feeling extremely tired that she felt she could collapse at any time. It was a miracle she had managed to listen in class ... Or at least, pretend to listen.

Miku heard footsteps from behind. She turned her around to notice that it was Luka who was following her and gestured her hand to her in a waving motion, saying hello. Her friend took the same route to go home. They did not live very far from each other.

The image of the two girls kissing appeared suddenly in Miku's head that foolishly began to blush. She gave a big blow on her own head to try to forget this stupid scene. Luka, rather surprised by this gesture, preferred not to react at this. Miku then turned her head, without even greeting her friend.

She went her way; Luka always following her. Miku took a deep breath. She should apologize and explain that it was all a misunderstanding. But it was not as easy as she thought.
To be honest, she was a little afraid.

"I'm sorry," said the two girls in the same time.

The shy girl gasped and turned to face her friend who had her head down and her smile, usually playful, had assumed a sense of melancholy.

"Why are you apologizing Miku? It's me who should be. I was really low-down and dirty with you yesterday ... I'm really sorry."

A great sense of relief pervaded Miku and a wide smile appeared on her face. The fear that she had, was now evaporated.

"I don't blame you, you know. I was more afraid that you hate me than anything else. I mean ... You're really a good friend Luka ... I admit that I was really afraid about losing you. And if it makes you feel any better, I didn't even read your diary and I didn't intend to either."

Luka started to blush slightly. If only she knew what happiness Miku gave her with these words. Luka was about to reply, but stopped when she noticed that her friend was crossing the street, when a car was going at full speed. Without bothering to think, Luka jumped at Miku and avoided the car in extremis. They rolled down a cliff where Luka firmly clutched Miku, not wanting to let go and lose her.
When they finally got to the bottom, Luka was on top of her friend who was watching her with her eyes. Miku didn't move at all, and the tall girl was then worried.

"Miku are you alright? Are you hurt?"

The shy girl gently shook her head and raised her arm to put her hand on Luka's cheek. Luka blushed by the contact and also by observing how their faces were close.

"Hey, Luka did I ever tell you that you were beautiful?" Miku inquired.
"Mi-Miku...?"

"Yes ... Really beautiful."

Miku's gaze was filled with admiration. Luka's heart was beating at an electric speed. This was not the first time someone told her that she was beautiful, but this time, it was not anyone who had said it: it was Miku... The girl with whom she fell in love.
Her friend closed her eyes with a smile plastered on her face.
Luka was worried immediately.

"Miku? Miku!"

Luka cried out her name several times; but the cyan haired girl didn't even budge. Luka put her ear to the smaller girl's chest; and was content to hear a regular breathing pattern... And even more when she heard soft snores.
Luka began to laugh softly.

'How could she sleep at a time like this? She must really be tired.'

Luka took this moment to give her a petit kiss on her cheek and whispered in her ear, "Hey, Miku did I ever tell you that you were cute?"

She finally pulled away to crouch beside her. Even if it didn't want to, she had to wake her; she had no choice. She couldn't leave her there, after all.
Luka patted her friend shoulder and whispered her name several times, but she did not wake up. Luka sighed ... She slept very deeply. She caressed Miku's cheek and the girl finally opened her eyes. Miku rose immediately; she wondered why she was sleeping on the grass. She looked at Luka with a raised eyebrow when she noticed a grin on her face.

"I don't know about you, but if I were you, I would prefer to sleep on a bed."

Miku blushed slightly at the remark. Had she really slept here? Luka quickly rose to lend a hand to her friend who took it to get up.

Luka gave her a wink.

"I'm going to hold you to your house, if you want," said the tall girl.

"I... Y-yes. Um... Luka..?"

"Yes?"

Miku planted a kiss on her friend's cheek that suddenly became in a bright red colour.

"Thank you ... For saving my life."

Luka smiled and nodded in response.
The road to the Miku's house was novocal. There was only a few times where the girl released great yawns.
When they arrived there, Luka was preparing to leave, but her friend restrained her by her arm.

"Would you like to stay with me?" asked Miku.
"Wouldn't you prefer to rest?"
"No..."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes..."

"Very well then."

It was the first time Luka came in her friend's house. Miku often came in her home, but was it was actually the first time that she had come into her's.
Luka thought the house was nice, although it was a brimming size… But nothing to fill the ponderous space with. She, who was accustomed to see her brother or her parents in her home, had been somewhat surprised when she had entered. She expected to see a beautiful family, but it was unfortunately not the case.

"Do you live alone?"

"No, I live with my mother but she is not home from work yet."

"Oh. I see."

The girl motioned her to follow her. They entered her room that was quite the opposite of Luka's bedroom; it was in mess. In a real mess. Books, video games, clothes and CDs were lying around everywhere. The only thing that Luka could think of was to clean it up. She absolutely abhorred the sight of a dirty room.

Miku then sat on her bed with a loud sigh, while Luka was still on the door frame; traumatized by the mess. Miku showed her the empty seat beside her. Her friend went towards it, but being careful where she walked. She didn't want to fall over one of her friends' anime models, after all.
A long silence reigned, and as usual, Miku felt uncomfortable. At least, Luka seemed to have forgiven the story of the diary. Luka was about to speak, but Miku interrupted her, "l'm going to get a drink of water. You want one?"
"No, thank you, but I'll get it for you. I am your guest, after all."

"Okay ... Thanks, Luka."

She rose rapidly and freed herself from the room with a sigh of relief. A little bit more and she would have made the household ... Luka walked into the kitchen where she poured a glass of cold water to her friend. At the same time, even if she did not know the house, she did not hesitate and rummaged in the drawers to see if everything was in order. And it was.
She then took the glass of water, and when she entered the room, a smile appeared on her face; Miku was asleep with her thumb in her mouth. Luka put down the glass of water on Miku's bedside table. Then she laid the blanket over her friend. Luka looked a little at her, and started cleaning her room.

Luka began picked up the clothes on the floor and put them into their respected places. She then put away the books, video games and finishing with the CDs. While cleaning, Luka learned a few things about Miku; she read a lot of manga's and her style of music was varied- from AKB48 to Rin'.

When the room was clean, a satisfied smile split her face. She then sat next to Miku who was still asleep. She gently played with her hair, and at the same time, her friend opened her eyes. Luka then let go of her and looked right into her eyes.

"Did you sleep well?"

Miku jumped and removed her thumb from her mouth, blushing like an idiot. She looked at the clock: it was only 18 hours ... wait, 18 hours! Luka had stayed with her all along! But what surprised her most was that the cleaning was done. She gave a whistle of admiration from watching her room and turned to face Luka with a smile.

"Thanks Luka for having stayed with me and for doing the cleaning."
"No problem."

Luka had to admit that she had done it more for herself than for Miku. She really hated an untidy room.
Miku made a sad face, her eyes staring at the ground.

"I guess you have to go now..."
"Well ... I don't think I have to leave and also, it would make me happy to stay with you... Well, only if you don't plan to sleep again..."

A grin appeared on her face.
Miku then jumped and blushed.

"Ah! So-sorry."
"Its fine, Miku."

Silence reigned once again. Luka carefully looked at Miku who obviously avoided looking into her eyes. The tall girl didn't understand why she always did that. Whenever she wanted Miku to look into her eyes, she looked elsewhere. As if she didn't want to look back at her…

With a small smile, Luka took the chin of her friend, raised her head to gain eye contact with Miku. They looked into her eyes for a moment, and immediately, Luka could feel Miku slightly trembling in her hands. With a sigh, she let her go. Why she was shaking? Luka was now convinced that Miku could not feel the same way she did.
But the tall girl ventured anyway; she put her hand on her friend's hand and pretended not to realize it by looking at the wall. Luka then could feel Miku's hand that was shaking also. Why would she tremble at a small gesture such as this? Had she really read her diary? It was the only explanation for why she was acting in such a manner. Luka had to know if that was the reason. Maybe Miku had lied, saying she had not read it ... Luka cleared her throat. For once, she felt nervous; and she did not like this new feeling.

"Miku ... Do you think I'm disgusting?

"Huh?"

"I want to know if you find me disgusting..."

"I... I don't. Why?"

Luka sighed. She did not like the "Why" ... What could she say? The truth? At the same time, she did not want to lie, but tell the truth it was a little scary.

'What if I told her in an indirect way?'

Luka opted for the idea by approaching Miku and kissing her on her cheek. The shy girl was flustered, feeling the soft lips of her friend's on her cheek.
Luka looked at her with serious eyes.

"Did you find it disgusting… That I kissed you on the cheek?"

Miku froze. She did not understand ... But, all she knew was that her heart was beating in a constantly increasing speed.

"N-no, it's... It's not disgusting."

"Then, what about this...?"

Miku had no time to react as her friend laid her lips against hers. The shy girl froze again. As Luka had expected, Miku's lips were sweet and soft, but they were slightly trembling. Luka closed her eyes and kissed her friend several times, hoping to receive a response to her caress. She knew that what was doing right now was extremely risky and there was a great chance for her to lose Miku or for their relationship to change in a fallacious way.
Luka started to panic; she relished her friend's lips, but Miku didn't nothing ... She didn't even kiss her back! There was only one time she had thought that Miku kissed her when she had felt her lips kissing her in a clumsy way, but Luka had assumed that it was all her imagination, since Miku's lips trembled so much that she thought it was for this reason.

Luka finally pulled away with a worried face when she saw Miku cry. This time, it was not Miku who had made a blunder, but Luka.

"Why, Luka? Why...?" asked the shy girl in a weak voice.

Luka's heart was beating very fast ... For the rare time in her life, she was afraid. There was only one way to escape the situation; escaping.
She rose quickly, bumped her foot against her bedside table and almost fell onto the floor. Her sight became blurred and confused, whilst Miku was curled up in her bed. Luka looked at her a moment and then muttered, "I ... I gotta leave now."

With that, she left Miku's home, almost running. A tear rolled down her cheek that she wiped with the back of her hand.
She knew. She knew that Miku could not accept her feelings. After all, she was a girl ... It was normal; it was disgusting.

When Luka entered her home, she carefully avoided the astonished gaze of her parents and locked herself in her room. The tall girl sat back against the door and put her hands on her face and began to weep.
What could she expect anyway? That Miku loves her back? Why did she kiss her like that, without even asking her?
It was the first time that Luka felt like this. Intense pain fuelled her heart as if someone had dissected it into miniature pieces. Most people believed that Luka was a strong girl, but if someone saw her now ... They would certainly have a change of mind.
The hope that she once had, had now disappeared.

The next morning, before classes started, Luka tried desperately to find Miku. She found the cyan haired girl in her locker; storing her books and other belongings into it. The tall girl hesitated to move forward. Her heart was beating indomitably and her throat became dry.
She still advanced slowly with a small smile...

"Miku...?"

Miku, in shock, dropped several of her books. Luka leaned forward to give them back to her. The small girl took them with hesitation and deposited it in her locker.
Luka's heart hurt when she came to view the pity state of Miku; her eyes were redder than yesterday and her skin was very pale. Luka took a deep breath, looked at the ground, and finally spoke, "About what happened yesterday, I..."

"It's nothing. I want to act as if it never happened. Either way, I don't want that to happen again."

Luka had never heard Miku speak so seriously. Moreover, her words reached her right into her heart like an arrow.
The shy girl closed her locker, went next to Luka – who just had a broken heart - and whispered in a low voice, "Luka... It's disgusting."

Miku then departed, leaving the girl alone.
It was over ...
Luka knew it would end like that.
An immense pain fuelled in her heart.
A tear rolled down her cheek.

Yes, she was disgusting…

I like to end my chapter like that. ;3

And yeah, I'm a drama-romance-thing fangirl, so don't be surprised if it's a bit sad. ;D

And, thanks again to Reivi who did the correction! ^w^

Well, review, please? .o.
