Wow, thank you all for your support! ^^ And thank you for pointing out the mistakes, I will try to fix them today, but I am so busy on Thursdays.
And to answer some questions, well I have always seen Gakupo a little half-childish and funny, mostly because of the song 'Go Google it'. And yes, it was a reference to the song. xD
What Miku hated most was probably thunderstorms. And this Thursday, the weather decided to go against her wishes. No sun, no rain – but a gigantic thunderstorm. She was certainly not in the mood to do anything as she slowly chewed on her leek and bacon.
Len didn't stand outside to greet her today, but of course – who would want to stand outside in a thunderstorm? She shivered as the sound of the thunder shook the skies. As she reached the end of the park, someone gently tapped on her shoulder. Expecting Len, she turned around and was instead faced by no one other than Luki Megurine. What a perfect start on the day.
"Hello Miku." he said.
"Hello!" Miku replied and quickly began walking again.
"Wait Miku! Why are you ignoring me?" Luki ran after her.
"It's not like I glare daggers at people randomly…" Miku muttered as she walked down the road with Luki behind her. A too familiar voice screamed for help. Seriously, when will he learn to stop?
Miku turned around and Luki accidentally bumped right into her, making both of them fall onto the ground, Luki lying on Miku. She pushed him off her and sat up, staring at Dell who was being chased by Haku. And poor Dell – Haku definitively did not look sober. Luki frowned when Miku began running to the school and followed her into the building. However, she was already gone.
She was panting as she reached the "safe zone" – Luka's locker. Of course Luki would be afraid of his dear sister. Luka greeted her with a smile and then pointed to Neru who was sitting in a corner, holding her completely shattered phone.
"My… dear phone… it's destroyed…" Neru sobbed, holding it tighter to her chest.
"Um… Neru, you were the one who—" Miku pointed out, but was cut off by Neru's bark-like sound.
"Fuc—" Neru was about to do something really bad when Luka came and stuffed a tuna in her mouth.
"Neru, that's a no-no word." Miku reminded her. "And where did you get that tuna, Luka?"
"Go google it."
"You shouldn't be the one to tell me that…" Miku said. The bell rang and the two girls went to the Music class, leaving the annoyed Neru in her corner.
Gakupo was quite cheery today, and he was actually wearing something normal. Miku didn't pay much attention to him, but he did something really strange. He walked up to her and asked her to compete with him in a singing contest again. The students around them were really excited to see the contest again, so Miku accepted his challenge.
"Which song?" Gakupo asked with a grin.
"Meltdown." Miku smirked. Last time that Gakupo had tried, it sounded like a walrus with a sore throat.
"Okay." he said, still grinning.
They both sang perfectly until the chorus. Miku could hit the high notes and quite amazingly, Gakupo managed to do it too. However, at the "omou" Gakupo's voice cracked and it sounded worse than last time. He gave up and asked Miku the same question again.
"Hatsune-san, how can you hit those notes so easily?" he looked sad.
"Go google it." Miku repeated.
"I did." Gakupo whined. "But I didn't find anything!"
"Ah, so that's it… well okay then."
"Really, Hatsune-san?"
"No, actually not." Miku teased him. "No, but seriously. Just train your voice."
Gakupo didn't seem to like her advice. Miku shrugged and then left for the next class. Luckily, they didn't have English today – Luki was already embarrassed enough. When the class was over, she sat down and took out her lunch, not expecting a certain blue-head to show up. But of course, he did.
"MIKU!" he yelled. "I WANT SOME OF YOUR FOOD!"
"WHAT, NO YOU ICE CREAM-ADDICT!" Miku yelled back, clutching her lunch.
"YES. I WANT IT."
"NO. I WON'T LET YOU!"
The two of them stopped yelling and looked at each other. All of the students in the classroom went outside to take cover from the "war".
"Why are we screaming anyway?" Miku frowned and quickly took a bite of her leek-balls.
"I don't know." Kaito shrugged, trying to get nearer her lunch.
"Yes you do. You started it." Miku exclaimed, quickly closing her box again.
"No I don't."
Miku sighed in defeat and opened her box again and took out some leek-balls. She even fed them to him with her chopsticks… but of course with her extra pair that she had just in case that this would happen. He seemed content and skipped away. "I hope that he leaves me alone now."
After school, Miku took a stroll in the park. She hadn't seen Len today. Suddenly, his familiar voice came from behind. She quickly turned around with a smile plastered on her face, but the sight she saw was… indescribable. Len was walking with a blonde girl, laughing and sharing an ice cream with her. Miku didn't know what to do, so she retreated to her home to avoid being seen. Something inside her felt empty, but it's not like she loved him, right? She didn't care.
Throwing herself onto the sofa, she grabbed the book about unexpected love. She threw it onto the table and then noticed a letter lying in the pile of newspapers. She must have missed it when she was reading her mail yesterday. Addressed to her from… Mikuo?
She quickly clutched onto the letter and gently opened it, taking out the letter from her brother.
"Dear baby sister Miku,
I am going to come back and live with you. The life here wasn't going as smooth as I thought. I will arrive at Thursday night.
See you!
Sincerely, your brother."
Miku gulped. Mikuo had left her to live with his step-dad in another country. It seemed like everything was fine there, so why did he want to come back?
Before she could think anything more about it, she heard a knock on the door. Just perfect.
Half-cliffhanger, I guess? Friday will hopefully be much longer! 3 days left now.
