Hello! Here is another chapter. Sorry for any errors and hope you enjoy!
"Why should we help her? She doesn't seem to care whether or not she gets caught." Gumi said in a firm tone. This was the most serous Rin had seen Gumi in the past couple days since they met.
Rin thinks of a reply and just says anything that comes to mind "Listen I know we just started the year but maybe we need to help Naru before she can help us. Let's just do this once and I'll talk to her about it. If she does it again we'll turn her in." she says.
Gumi thinks about it for a moment then sighs "This loser is lucky I have a big heart. Ok how are we going to do this?" she asks.
"For now let's just get through homeroom. Oliver will know what to do from here." Rin says as the first bell goes off.
Gumi nods and addresses the class. Rin takes her seat at Gumi's side glancing over at Naru every couple of minutes. "Crap what am I going to do? I'm sure I could get expelled for doing something like this! Even when Oliver gets her how are we going to get her out of here without the whole class seeing? Damn it I should just turn her in." These thoughts rage on in her head for the rest of the homeroom.
The bell finally rings and this was going to get crazy. Rin had to talk to the class and tell them that Naru was drunk. Even if Oliver could help, someone could turn them in. "Excuse me! Could I have your attention please?" Rin says raising her voice. The whole class goes silent more surprise that Rin spoke up. They all stare at her as she tries to come up with something. She just wings it and says what comes to mind "umm ok everyone just run with me on this. Miss Atika is very drunk so she passed out. So I'm asking you to please not turn her in. Me and Gumi are going to try and sneak her off campus…" Rin is cut off.
"Why should we do that? All she did was treat us like crap. I don't think we would want to deal with her all year." A boy says from the back off the room. Most of the room nods in an agreement.
Before Rin could say anything Gumi speaks up "Come on guys let have a heart. Plus think about it this way, if we do this she will owe us one." She says.
The class looks at one another and a group forms together and they discuss it over. After a couple seconds they break "Ok we will keep are mouths shut under one condition…the whole class doesn't have to do clean up duty for the rest of the year." One boy says. And again most of the room nods in agreement.
"We accept the conditions…" Gumi says just as Oliver walks in.
"Good morning class Miss Kagamine, Miss Megpoid you can take your seats…" His voices dies off when he spots Naru passed out.
"Mr. Oliver Naru is passed out she got drunk before coming to school. We were all wondering if you could help us get her out of here." Rin says shutting the door behind him.
Oliver walks over to Naru and shakes her "Yeah she's not getting up anytime soon. Alright don't worry I've gotten Naru out of worse situation. But you two are going to have to get her out. I'll excuse you for today here are the keys to my car." He says handing over his keys to Rin.
Gumi both stare at him with shock on their faces "Are you crazy!? What makes you think we know how to drive? Plus where would be go?" Gumi says in disbelief.
Oliver looks at the class "Does anyone know how to drive?" he asks.
The whole room goes silent and they stare at him in disbelief. But what was more shocking is that someone raised their hand "I-I d-do…" a quiet voice comes out of a girl in the back. Rin had never seen this girl before. She had long bright pink curly hair, it was almost white.
"Who are you?" Gumi asks just as surprise as Rin.
The girl stand up her face was very red "M-my na-name is I-IA Takano…" she says looking down at her feet. Rin could tell that this girl was very shy.
"Alright Miss Megpoid you can stay here and Miss Takano you go with Kagamine. Hurry up and get Naru out of here. The halls should be clear. Once you get down to the bottom floor take her out through the staff's parking lot. My car is only red car in the parking lot. Make sure you disarm the alarm or it's all over. Last thing here is my cell number just in case something bad happens. Now go…" He says getting Naru on her feet. IA comes down and Rin takes Naru's arm. Oliver hands IA Naru's other arm. Now they both were supporting her weight.
Naru was a lot lighter then she looked. "Where do we go Oliver?" Rin asks before going out.
"I'll leave that up to you Kagamine. You're a smart girl I have complete faith in you." Oliver says giving her a wink that made her blush. He turns to IA "Miss Takano take care of my car please." He says in a more serious tone.
"Y-yes s-sir…" IA says with fear in her voice.
"Good luck Kagamine don't get expelled." Gumi says also giving her the thumbs up.
With that Rin and IA take Naru into the school hallway. Oliver closes the door behind him "Alright let's go." Rin says to IA who didn't look so good. They both head down the hall, their footsteps echoed throughout the hall.
Rin wondered why IA was doing this. This girl seems like a goody two shoes who kept to herself. Rin decides to ask "Takano why are you doing this?" she asks.
"Um I-I thought it wasn't fair…for you and Megpoid to bear such a heavy burden alone." IA said with blush.
Rin's wasn't sure what to make of this but she put it off for now. They turn down another hall and both of them stop dead in their tracks. Rin's heart nearly jumps out of her chest at the sight of Megurine Luka. Luka stops and stares at the three with a somewhat confused look on her face. Rin started sweating very quickly. Luka clears her throat "Kagamine what's going on?" she asks.
IA starts trembling whispering the words "I'm expelled."
Rin had to overcome her nervousness or they were going to get expelled. She takes a deep breath and speaks "Megurine I knew we just met the other day. But could you please not tell anyone you saw us. I promise you that I can explain everything later." She says hoping that Luka was nice as Miku said she was.
Luka looks at IA then at Naru. She clears her throat "Alright Kagamine I'll be waiting for your explanation, have a good day." She says in a serious tone. She bows and heads down the hall.
Both Rin and IA start breathing again "That was close. Come on lets go." Rin says wiping the sweat from her head. They finally make it to the staff packing lot. After a quick look over the parking the both of them drop Naru at the sight of Oliver's car. Rin wasn't into car but she can tell that this was a foreign sport's car that was most likely worth more than the both of them.
"I-I can't drive that…" IA says trembling again.
Rin felt the same way "We don't have a choice. I don't know how to drive and you said you do. Plus its a little late to back out." She says picking up Naru. She landed face flat on the ground but she was still snoring. They disarm the alarm and get into the car placing Naru in the back.
IA puts on her seatbelt along with Rin and they just sit there for a while. "W-where are we going?" IA asks finally putting the key in the ignition.
Rin thinks about it for a while. She couldn't take Naru to her place because today was her father's day off. Miku's house was out of the question because her mom was a stay at home mom. So she had nowhere to go "I don't know…do you have a place?" she asks.
IA nods "Y-yeah we can go to my apartment." She says firmly gripping the steering wheel. After several minutes IA starts the car. She puts it into drive and slowly pulls off the parking lot. Rin was almost just as nervous as IA. After pulling onto the streets IA had problems with the raw power the car had. Luckily the streets weren't very busy. After ten minute IA pulls up to an apartment complex. They park and let out a sigh of relief. It was all done. They got Naru out of the school and Oliver's car didn't have a scratch on it.
Rin pulls out Naru from the back seat and IA helps out. She then leads them to her room which was on the ground floor. Once in the room Rin was surprise to find that it was the room of an Otaku. The walls were covered with posters of many different Anime and Manga series. The bookshelves were filled with Manga and Anime. Rin liked anime and would consider herself an Otaku but not at this level. "So you're an Otaku?" Rin says as they place Naru on the coach.
IA nods "Yeah I can't live without it." She says with confidence. Rin wanted to look at her impressive collection. "Are you an Otaku?" she asks.
"You can say that." Rin says looking at the bookshelf full of manga.
"What's your favorite series?" IA asks excitedly.
Rin was thrown off by this sudden change in IA. "Uhhh I enjoy watching K-on and Sword Art Online." She says. It was the first thing that came to mind.
"I love both those series!" IA yells. For the next hour Rin listens to IA endless rant about a number of anime series. For the most part Rin was enjoying the conversation. IA was for sure to be a good friend. "Come to my room I want to show you something." She says taking Rin's hand and led her to her bedroom. Once in IA's room Rin saw a drawing table and over that were story broads. IA was a Manga artist.
Rin looks at the story broads "You're a manga artist?" she asks.
IA shakes her head "No…those are just drawings I did because I was bored. I don't think I have what it takes to be a manga artist." She says.
Rin at one of the drawing and could see that she had talent. "I think you could do it if you set your mind to it. The drawings are really good." She says.
IA blushes "Thank you…you're the first person to say that." She says looking down at her feet.
With that Rin ad IA head back to the living room to watch over Naru. Rin takes the time to text Oliver and Miku. She was hoping to get out of her commitment with Miku but she then remember that Luka want an explanation. The three of them were not out of the woods yet.
"Ugh my head, what the hell happened?" Naru moans waking up.
"Miss Akita you're finally awake." Rin says.
Naru looks around the room "Kagamine? Where the hell am I?" she asks.
"You passed out before class. Me and Takano had to sneak you out. Oliver lent us his car to get you out." Rin says crossing her arms.
Naru looks at Rin "If I understand right you risked getting expelled to get me out why?" Naru asks.
"Because…I think everyone deserves a second chance. You're very passionate about Tennis and you're a very different person. If you would apply it to homeroom we could be the best class in the school. I guess I just wanted to help…the class agreed to give you a second chance." Rin says hoping that it would get through to her.
"I see…well I'm going back to work. Come on you two need to get back to school." Naru says standing up. IA hands her the key and they head out to the car. They were back at the school in a matter of minutes due to Naru's fast driving. It was one of the scariest rides in her life. When they got back it was lunch so it was much easier to sneak back in.
They all go their own ways and Rin heads back to her class. Gumi was in her seat eating her lunch. Rin takes a seat "That was interesting…" she says resting her head.
Gumi jumps a bit "Oh wasn't expecting you to come back." She says taking a bite out of her lunch.
"Well Miss Akita forced us to come back. I'm not sure what going to happen now." Rin says pulling out her lunch. It made her blood boil as she opens her bento because Haku had made it. But Rin couldn't resist Haku's food it was really that good.
"It's a start I guess. If she didn't care she would have left you guys. I guess we will see at the homeroom tomorrow" Gumi says.
Later that day after school
Rin had gone to Miku's dance club only because she had to talk to Luka. It was the last thing she needed to do to put this mess behind her. The club meeting went just as the last one did. Miku had been asking her about what happened. But at the moment Rin wasn't about to risk being overheard. Plus with all the dancing it was hard to talk. After the club meeting Rin made her way to the choir room.
Miku comes running down the hall after her "Hey Rin you going to go see Megurine?" she says poking at her.
"Shut up Miku I really do need to speak with Megurine. She caught me leaving the school with Miss Akita and I owe her an explanation otherwise I think she might turn us in." Rin says already starting to sweat.
Miku steps in front of her "Don't worry you had good intentions doing what you did. If she is the same Luka I knew she will understand. Just be honest and do not lie to her…" she says in a more urge tone.
"Ok I got it…" Rin says but Miku cuts her off.
"No I can't stress how important it is. For the sake of your future love do not lie to her." Miku says.
Rin would normally slap her for saying that last thing but Miku wasn't joking. So she takes Miku's hands "Ok Ok I'll tell her the truth." She says moves her hand. Rin heads for the choir room on the second floor. Her heart was already beating fast and she was forgetting what to say. As she reaches the floor the choir club was just leaving. Rin waited by the stairs.
Luka was the last one out and she walks over to Rin "Good evening Kagamine." She says with a little bow.
"G-good evening." Rin says bowing as well.
"So are you going to tell me about earlier?" Luka asks not looking directly at Rin.
Rin was still afraid that someone could over hear them so she wanted to talk this elsewhere "umm could we talk somewhere else?" she asks.
Luka nods and Rin leads the way. She decides to take Luka near the tennis courts since the club didn't meet today. Along the way Rin was trying to piece together on what she was going to say. But with Luka in her present her thoughts were a mess. The moment of true came all too soon as they reach the tennis court. Rin sits down on one end of a bench and Luka sits on the other end. After taking a couple deep breaths she speaks "Well about today…Miss Akita got drunk before coming to school and she passed out."
"That doesn't sound like a good explanation Kagamine." Luka says looking at the ground. The facial expression on her face made it seem like she was sad or disappointed.
So Rin quickly continues "But I don't think it was all Miss Akita's fault. I think she's had a drinking problem for a while. During our Tennis club meetings she is a much different person…I guess if she had a little help that she could by a very good teacher. But I'm not sure if what I did meant anything to her. I guess that still isn't a good reason. But if you're going to turn us in please leave Takano out of this." She says feeling like she failed. Since IA was so worried about being expelled Rin couldn't drag her down along with her and Naru.
"I see…You really are a good person Kagamine. I'm sure Miss Akita will think real hard about what you did for her. But try not to do anything like that for a while." Luka says smiling at Rin.
"Wait you're not going to turn us in?" Rin said both shocked and relieved.
Luka stands up "I couldn't turn someone who was doing what they thought was right. You seem like the kind of person who likes to help others. You're a very interesting person Kagamine." She says turning away from Rin.
At that moment Rin knew that without a doubt she was in love with Luka. "Th-thank you Megurine." Rin stutters out.
"We should have lunch sometime Kagamine. Have a good evening see you tomorrow." Luka says walking back to the School building. Rin couldn't believe what had just happen. Were they now friend? Her chances with Luka now seemed possible. Her train of thought was broken by the sound of her cell phone. It was Oliver "Hello?"
"Miss Kagamine I just want to congratulate you and Takano on a mission well done! I owe you and miss Takano lunch." Oliver says.
"Thank you Mr. Oliver I hope I never have to do that again." Rin says chuckling a bit.
"I know what you mean. But I'm sure things are only beginning. So let's try to make it a good year! I'll see you tomorrow Miss Kagamine. Have a good evening." With that Oliver hangs up.
Rin closes her phone and heads for the bus stop.
The next day
The first week was also over and it was very eventful. Rin and Gumi were in front of the class at the podium going over ideas for the culture festival. In the middle of their discussion Naru enters the class with that same tired look she always had. She stop at the podium and reaches in her bag and pulls out a bottle half full of liquor. "Here you take this if it stays with me I'll end up drinking it." Naru says setting the bottle on the podium.
"You idiot why didn't you just throw it away!" Gumi yells taking the bottle and putting it in her bag.
Rin was shocked that Naru did this. Sure it was stupid to give it to kids but it was a start. But now they had to get rid of the bottle "So what do we do with the bottle?" Rin asks.
Gumi peeks at the bottle "well we could drink a bit at lunch?" she says with a sly grin.
Rin consider the idea "Well…I don't know if today is such a good idea. Why don't you just save it for now." She says . There was no way she was risking getting caught drunk at school. Plus Rin had never drank before so it was a recipe for trouble.
"Yeah you're right plus it probably wouldn't sit well during practice." Gumi says turning back to the podium.
Rin walks to her position near Gumi and hopes the day will be normal for once. Which was probably asking too much.
Later that day after school
"Come Kagamine we need to get to practice! Or Miss Akita will be displeased." Teto says as she follows Rin to her locker.
"Hold on I need to put my books away. You go a head I don't know why your following me in the first place." Rin says reaching her locker.
Teto throws her arm over Rin's shoulder "Because your my tennis buddy. Me and you are going to the top!" she yells causing a couple people to look at them.
Rin sighs and opens her locker. But then something fell out and on to the ground. The two look down to see it was a evalope "What is this?" Rin mutters picking it up. She tears opens the evalope and pulls out a small piece of paper. It read:
"Please Miss Kagamine could you meet me behind the school after your club meeting today. I have something that I must tell you. It would mean a lot to me if you show up."
Rin was slight confused by the letter until Teto spoke up "Oh my god Kagamine you got a love letter! I'm so jealous!" she says trying to look at the letter.
Rin turns very red. Someone wanted to confess to her. But she was liked Luka what was she going to say? Regardless she had to meet this person.
