Chapter 4- "I wish they'd just die"
A/N: So, before starting I would like to make a disclaimer as I haven't done before, but I must.
I do not own Vocaloid, any of the vocaloids, or any of it's songs. Thank You!
Now.. to the story! (:
A month passsed.. or maybe a half a semester. I can't tell you the exact time. All I knew is that as a band, we progressed in making songs, but no new members. I felt a bit disappointed, but I was happy to do something I liked. Wasn't that the purpose of this?
I walked down the hallway during lunch time alone, as I hadn't done ever since I met Lola. It was quite different now with her, Miriam and Meiko. They were all so fun, and kind of made me happier than I was before. As I opened the door to go outside, it suddenly came to me that we should probably come up with a better band name. The one we had... wasn't quite catchy. Maybe that was the problem. I sat down on a bench, where I could see people playing sports, since some people had gym during this time.
The closest people to me were playing a sport which I did not recognize. That just shows how sporty I am. Not very much. They were all guys and mostly all of them seemed to be in their last year of high school. I looked up to see the sun that shined above me, as it was still warm out.
"-ugh!" I heard someone yell. I turned down, to see that a guy with blue hair was hit in the face. "God, I wish they'd just die!" He yelled to himself, sitting next to me, as he put his hand on his face from the pain of the hit. "Hey, aren't you the one from that band that played a while back?" He suddenly asked me. I turned to look at him. I didn't think that he would actually remember. "Yea." I said. "That's so cool! It'd be awesome if you were recruting members. I might just join. I bet it's much better than being with these dudes." He said, enthusiasticly. "Actually, we are looking for new members." I said. Finally, someone showed interest. Better yet, it wasn't another girl. Not saying that I don't like girls, it just feels sort of awkward being the only guy sometimes.
"Really?! I'll join! I can do some singing." The blue hair guy said.
Lola's point of view.
As soon as I exited my classroom, I found myself looking out through the window from another classroom. The sun was shining, the birds were singing beautifully. Something gave me the feeling that today would be a good day. I smiled and skipped through the hallway. I was too happy you could say. "Hi Lola!" Ann said to me as I passed by. "Hello!" I said smiling. 'Well, someone's happy! Maybe you could spread some of that happiness." Ann said with a smile. I laughed and nodded, going on, as she walked the opposite direction from the one which I was headed.
I walked down the stairs and outside, to feel the warmness of the sun. It was great. Perfect day. "Hey, want to come play Tennis?" Miriam said, passing by me. "Yeah, sure!" I said. I went toward the Tennis court to find myself with a little group, which I think Miriam may have started. "Team ready!' Miriam said.
We played, making random rules as we went. It wasn't professional Tennis, so whatever. "Lola, do you think our band will ever grow?" Miriam said as I hit the ball with the racket. "I don't know. But we should think positive. If we don't get any people, that's ok. I think it would expand if we were to keep this band going next year as well." I said. Miriam kept silent for a bit. "Well, I don't know. I'll join next year if I get time to do it. I can't tell what schedule I'll get either. But I'll do my best to stay." She said. I kept playing, thinking. What if even next year, we didn't get any new members?
"What about you, Meiko?" Miriam shouted to Meiko, who played aside from us. "What?" She said, turning to look suddenly, and missing the ball. "Are you going to join the band next year?' Miriam said. "Yeah, sure." She said with a light smile, as she picked up the ball.
I smiled at the thought that this may really last more. At first it was an idea, then something for fun, but now it was real. As I threw the ball to Miriam, she began to laugh, as she looked away, missing the throw. I turned to look at the direction she was looking. I saw a couple of guys playing dodgeball, and farther, Leon with this bue haired guy.
"You should of seen! He got hit right on the face!" Miriam said, still laughing. "Who?" I asked. "The boy with the blue hair. Looks like a sophomore to me." She said. I looked at him, who was now talking to Leon. He did look like a sophomore, but at the same time, I'd believe that he could be a junior or Senior. I have no idea.
"He kind of looks a bit like Meiko's type." She said, turning to look over at Meiko. Meiko missed the ball and instantly turned to look at Miriam. "Wh-at?" Meiko said, a bit nervous looking. "That blue haired one over there." Miriam said. "You don't know." Meiko said, and kept playing. "She just won't admit it. I think she might like him if it wasn't her first time seeing him." Miriam said smiling. Meiko looked at her a bit annoyed, and kept playing. "Here's your guy coming." Miriam said to me.
I turnd around to see what she was talking about, and I saw that boy and Leon walking toward us, as they talked to each other. I looked back to Miriam, and she gave me a wink.
Gosh, I hate when people do that.
"Hey Lola, Kaito-senpai wants to join our group." Leon said. I smiled as I realized where this was coming to. I guess some people do notice our band. "That's great! When do you want to start?" I said. "Do I need to fill an application?" He asked. "Of course not!" I said with a little laugh. "Oh ok. Well, I don't really have a busy schedule. I can start anytime I guess." He said. "Well.. we'll meet today. Is that ok?" I said. "Perfect rhyme. Yep! I'll be there!" he said with a smile. I gave in a little giggle. "Yeah, see you too!" I said smiling, as he then walked away.
Leon's point of view
Honestly, something has gotten into me. Beside food. I mean, as Lola giggled, I felt a little jealousy overcome me. I wasn't quite sure why. Once Kaito walked away, I kind of froze in spot, thinking what this was. It hadn't happened to me before.
"Heyy Leoonn!" Miriam said in a weird accent. I looked at her and she smiled as if she were trying to convey to me a couple of words that I had no idea what they were. I can't read minds. "Frozen there looking at someone?" She said in a playful tone. That made me freeze more in thought. Was she referring to Lola? "What the he-ck?!" Lola said right away, as she sounded a bit nervous now. "We-ll. I'll leave you two alone. Girls, let's go, got to tell you something important." Miriam said, making the group playing tennis walk away along with her.
I turned to look at her, and she looked to me, then turning to look away fast. I thought to myself, searching for a few words to break this awkwardness but nothing would come up. I suck.
"Uhm.. what do you think about cherry blossoms?" I came up with anything I could think of. "Like those Japanese ones?" She said with a smile. "Yeah!" I said. "Gah, I love them. Makes me want to travel to Japan. I've heard it's really pretty over there." She said. Surprisingly, we have common inteests. "Yeah, me too. Maybe if we become famous enough we'll go sometime." I said. "Yep!" She said smiling.

Before we knew it, we had gotten much closer to the end of the year. Our group consisted of only Miriam, Meiko, Lola, Kaito and I when we finished. It wasn't so much, but it wasn't terrible either. Something was better than nothing. I couldn't tell whether we would make it through another year or not, but my wishes were that it would.
I woke up to face the day, looking at my calendar that we had reached the last day of school. I sighed at the thought that it could be both a good and a bad thing. After changing and eating, I ran out my house as I walked to school. It was warm, and most people were planning to stay home rather than going to school the last day. But I had something in mind, even being the last day. And someone in mind as well.
We all stood in the cafeteria as they all did the last day of school, for it was not very long. "Hey Leon!" Lola came to me as I stood looking at my cellphone like a loner. "Hi!" I said smiling. "Come over here!" She said, pulling me by the arm, then running across the hallway.
We were ther again. The same place.
Lola's point of view
When I woke up this morning I was crying. It was one of those dreams where you get all upset and think it's super sad, then when you wake up, you realize you would never cry like that for such things. Or at least, that much.
The first thing I did in the morning beside crying was yell. I don't know why. Well, I do. As I woke up from my dream, I was still half asleep. My last words were "I promise to keep this band going." I paused for a moment remembering my dream and realizing what I said. "Great, another promise!" I said, throwing my face on the wet pillow. Although it was just a dream, I felt horrible if I didn't keep the promise. I knew I had to do it.
As I stood in the classroom, we both stayed in silence, as if we both had a sudden flashback of memories. We looked at each other, and before we knew it, we were getting closer. He kissed me, then pushed away, turning red. "I'm sorry." He said looking down. "It's.. ok." I said. That made him turn only more red. "You weren't supposed to say that!" He said nervously. Well, how could I say otherwise, since that would be a lie?
"Well, then, what was I supposed to say?" I said. He looked at me then away again. "I don't know.." He said. "Your so funny. It's like you kissed me expecting me to dislike it." I said laughing a little. "Well, how should I know whether you liked it or not?" He said, still red. "Well, I guess I like you. That should say enough." I said, as I felt my face turn warm. Since I met him in the starting of the year, I didn't expect myself to ever say that. He turned even more red as if he didn't expect that from me. "Um.. Ugh.. I don't know what to say in this kind of moment." He said. I laughed even more. "Silly! I love you." I said, hugging him. He didn't have to tell me anything, because I knew his unspoken words as he hugged me back. We stood there for a bit, until we both let go.
"I can't believe the year is over. Let's keep this band going, even next year." Leon said, stealing my words. I smiled. "Of course! Why not?" I said. I knew that there was only a possibility, but either way, we would make our best try. Hopefully it will expand this time!
A/N: The year is over already! Well, for us it's december so I guess that is close enough. But yes, the school year is over for the future Vocaloid crew. Hope you guys are looking forward to the next chapters, for lots of things are going to happen, and new characters! (dramatic music) Thanks to all that stick throught. I hope I can finish this story and not go on hiatus, but that also depends on you guys.
Any ideas or suggestions? I'm open for any you might have. I'll do my best to keep this tory soundind good and not to.. well..suckish.
By the way.. don't take the title wrong. Um.. It's a Kaito song, just telling those who don't know. (:
Review please! I greatly appreciate to see that I have not been abandoned!.. Although I don't deserve it...
Anyways.. Thank you all again! (:
