Transferred
Yo. Sorry for not updating for a long time. I got sick, and then had friendship problems and lost motivation. But I'm fine now, I guess. Take this chapter as a Christmas gift, even if there's nothing about Christmas here xD
Anyway. We're back to Gumi. Have fun.

GUMI
I was so happy when I saw Len standing on the corner of the park, calling me the way he used to, that I ran and gave him a big hug. Even if he hadn't done much yet, I knew he was the Len I knew. My Len.
He hugged me back, tightly, and I was so happy during those seconds. I suddenly felt nauseous for some reason. I closed my eyes and a tear fell down, and then when I opened my eyes I suddenly heard screaming. Len, too, started screaming. I pulled away and turned around, to see Miku and a girl who looked exactly like me.
I fainted.
I woke up in the same park the next morning, on the cold floor. The sun was already shining in the sky, and I looked at my watch.
Crap, I'm already late for school!
I quickly stood up and grabbed my bag, quite thankful that I'm still wearing my school uniform. I wondered what my family must be doing at the moment.
And then memories of last night suddenly flashed in my head - Len suddenly appearing out of nowhere, a hug, and another Gumi. I paused. What the fuck happened last night?!
I heard a sniff. Turning around, I saw Miku crying on the swing. Why hasn't she gone to school yet? Moreover, why didn't she wake me up?
"Hatsune?" I said. "Uh... good morning. L-let's go to school now." I felt awkward. I really have no idea what to say.
She didn't move. I felt annoyingly uncomfortable, I hate it when someone's crying - I would feel obliged to make them feel better. I hesitantly reached out and stroked her teal hair. She looked up at me.
"Nakajima, I'm so sorry..." she murmured. I suddenly feared that what I remembered last night wasn't just a dream.
"F-for what?" I asked.
"I wasn't able to fix it... and instead of helping me out, they scolded me and made me feel worse," she sobbed. I couldn't understand what she said, but I listened. "You got sucked back into the wrong universe, and now the wormholes wouldn't let anyone pass except regulators. It stopped letting human beings through because of what I did last night. They grounded me. But they don't understand. It's the only way to fix everything."
I remained silent. I'm not really into Physics, so I didn't understand what she meant about wormholes.
"Oh, sorry," she added as she produced a helmet from her bag. "I wasn't supposed to be telling you that. I think I got too upset."
I raised an eyebrow as she held the strange-looking helmet above my head.
"Uh- Hatsune, what are you-" before I could finish my sentence, the heavy helmet fell on my head. I winced and closed my eyes. As I opened them, the last thing I saw was Hatsune holding a remote, and she pressed something.
Suddenly, I felt something weird, like worms wriggling into my head. It tickled at first, and I tried to suppress a giggle, until it suddenly became painful as something sharp surged through my body. I screamed.
And then everything went black.
When I opened my eyes, I was sleeping on a table. My head hurt so badly, I closed my eyes and silently cried before deciding to get up. I scanned the room I was in. There were shelves and shelves full of books surrounding me, but the room was too small to be the school library. I glanced at the window. Sunlight was pouring into the room through it, and the outside was the unmistakable view of Vocaloid Academy. I got off the table and examined the books. Mangas. These are mangas. I was in the Manga club room.
I raised an eyebrow, wondering what I was doing here. My wrist watch told me that it's already a few minutes past dismissal. I instantly panicked, and was about to grab my bag and storm out of the room when the door suddenly opened.
A girl I didn't recognize entered and looked at me, surprised.
"Ah, Gumi," she said, as if we're close friends. "You're early."
Am I supposed to know her?
"Uh... yeah, hi," I pulled a chair and sat down. Am I a club member? But I'm a member of the Go club, not the Manga club...
She sat beside me, and I looked around uncomfortably, fiddling with the hem of my skirt. I really have no idea what's going on.
"I stole some chocolates from our refrigerator this morning," she searched for something in her bag, grinning. Soon she brought out four boxes of chocolates. "Chocolates for everyone!"
I decided to act like I know her and we're friends.
"You should have waited for the others before you presented that," I commented.
"Psh," she rolled her eyes as she tossed a piece of chocolate into her mouth. "Whoever comes late won't get any. Here, just dig in, okay?" She offered me a box.
I took one and ate it, testing if my taste buds were still working. I didn't know why I was wondering about that, but I felt really strange on that day.
"Gumi, are you okay?" the girl asked me, and I flinched.
I shook my head. "I- actually, I don't know why I am in this club room."
She stared at me blankly. "O... kay?"
"And I don't know who you are."
"..."
"..."
"You are a Manga club member. I'm Aoki Lapis."
"I am not a club member, Aoki-san."
She stared at me with the same blank face, it was already beginning to scare me. And then she burst into laughter, slamming her palms into the table so hard that a box fell. I tilted my head in curiosity.
Soon she calmed down, and she shook my shoulder. I moved away, annoyed. "What?"
She tried to speak, but ended up laughing again. I really couldn't understand what was going on, I decided I'll just go home and try to register whatever the hell was this. Maybe I should go pass by the Go club room.
When I opened the door, three girls were about to enter.
"Ah, good afternoon, Gumi-nyan!" one of the girls beamed at me. I walked backwards and looked away.
"Hey, Ia, look, Gumi is pretending she has amnesia," Aoki laughed. "She's pretty good at it, huh?"
I murmured an 'excuse me' and squeezed my way out between them, and then ran away.
I am a member of the Go club. Where are Len and the others?
I opened the door of the Go club, and everyone turned to look at me. I quickly noticed a teal-haired girl look away. She felt familiar.
"Gumi!" a boy with pink hair stood up. It's Yuuma. "I thought you're absent today."
I swallowed. "Y-Yuuma, I'm scared. Where's Len?"
Len raised his hand, and I ran to hug him. He quickly pushed me away. "Why- you're Nakajima, right? What is it?"
I froze.
Hey. Len. I'm... I'm Gumi-chan.
I wanted to say that.
Yesterday, too, he was acting weird. Yeah, I remember it now. But the events after that were quite fuzzy.
Yuuma.
Yuuma said he confessed to me?
Rin was pushing me away.
Had they forgotten about our friendship?
Where was I this morning?
I don't remember going to bed last night.
What did I do after school yesterday?
I don't understand. I don't understand. I don't understand. I don't understand. I don't understand.
I had no idea what to do next. It felt embarrassing to stand there like an idiot after hugging someone who couldn't remember who I am.
The people around me were talking, but I couldn't process what they were speaking.
I ran out of the room, as tears stung my eyes. Someone ran after me and grabbed my wrist but I pulled my wrist away.
All of my friends were acting strange since yesterday, and I have no idea why.
End of Chapter Four
Sorry if the chapter wasn't that good... it was quite rushed, and so it's not that clear. But I did my best. I hope you enjoyed it. I really apologize for the lateness. By the way, that helmet was used to erase Gumi's memories of the events in the last chapter. It confused her and stuff.
MERRY CHRISTMAS! I hope you have a great Christmas this year!
