Chapter 04: This Means War

Damn, I thought, He's done it again.

I watched the empty corridor for a couple of moments, cursing silently because I hadn't been able to ask Len two questions: Why he disappeared on the first day and how he found me on the way to school. However, my thoughts were broken by my friends.

"Miku? Are you ok?" Gumi asked me.

"Yeah, you look a little lost. Where'd Len go?" Neru whispered in my ear. I turned and smiled warmly at them,

"He disappeared. I guess I'm gonna have to get used to that," I said and walked up to the rest if my friends. The boy that I didn't recognize nodded at me and Kaito waved, a smile etched on his face. I was about to talk to this boy when Kaito interrupted me,

"So, you and Len eh?" He grinned deviously.

"So not," I sighed, "What about you and Gumi though?"

"What?!" Both of them cried. Rin laughed and the silver haired boy smirked. I giggled and grinned. Both of Kaito and Gumi's faces were bright red and their eyes wide from the question and spotlight.

"Um... Are all of you coming today?" Gumi asked, trying to move away from the subject. We all let it go and nodded, even the silver haired boy.

"Count us in!" Kaito said, shifting his weight so he was closer to Gumi. I smiled knowingly at him and he raised an eyebrow so I didn't say anything.

"As long as Teto doesn't do her deadly Truth or Dare!" Gumi said.

"Aww, don't be a spoilsport Gum!" Rin said, "We all know that Teto's dares are brilliant! I'm game!"

"Yeah... They're so great that last time I ended up sticking my head down the toilet!" Kaito said, crossing his arms. Everyone sniggered, even me.

Rin caught my gaze, winking, "It was funny!" She sighed and started to make her way to class. The rest of us followed, chatting amongst ourselves. I managed to move myself closer to the silver haired boy,

"Um, hi. I'm Miku Hatsune. It's nice to meet you," I tried to act casual as I spoke.

He looked at me for a bit, his red eyes sparkling. Then he spoke, "Dell Honne. It's a pleasure to meet you too Miss Hatsune,"

I smiled politely, glad the first meeting was out of the way. I wasn't as shy now which was good. Then I decided to ask a valuable question,

"Do I have any classes with you?" I asked, bringing out my timetable. Dell brought out his two and took mine, comparing them. He took a red Sharpie out of his pocket and wrote on my timetable. He passed it back to me when he was finished and I looked at it.

We had History together. I smiled gratefully at him and put my timetable back in my pocket.

"Hey Mi-chan!"

I turned to see Neru coming up to me. She was holding a yellow mobile phone and a piece of paper and was smiling. She stopped when she reached me,

"Hey, I wanna give you all our numbers. You know, as we're all friends. Even got Len's number here for you..."

I blushed as I took the piece of paper and looked at the list. I would have to add them into my phone later.

"Hey guys!" A voice called out. I recognized it and smiled. Luka was walking towards us, notebook clutched to her chest and Gakupo at her side. I smiled, thinking they looked pretty cute together.

What was with me and thinking everyone looked cute together?! Teto was behind then too, smiling.

Luka caught my smile and blushed slightly. Did she like him? I didn't want to ask her about details or embarrass her so I turned to Kaito and Gumi. They were having a debate about which was better: Harry Potter or Twilight. Normally I would've joined in and told Gumi that Kaito was right; Twilight was the best book ever written. But I didn't feel like it today.

"Ok, Miku. You have the final say on this. Which is better?" Kaito asked, as Gumi put her hands together and mouthed 'please, please, please'. I felt bad for Gumi.

"Sorry...Gumi. Twilight wins." I said as Kaito cheered and Gumi started to fake cry.

"The world is ending!" She moaned.

By now, we had reached the Science Block. Me and Teto had Science next so we waved to everyone and started to talk about the next lesson. I couldn't help but notice Meiko out of the corner of my eye glaring at me from across the corridor. Unfortunately for me, we had Science together. Though luckily for me, the bell rang and I could break away from her cold and angry glare.

...

"Well, that was...tedious," I muttered, clutching my Science book. Teto groaned, rubbing her temples,

"Tell me about it..." She moaned. I stopped walking, my mouth in my heart when I saw Meiko twirl over to me, two of her friends in tow.

"Oh look, it's Turquoise," Meiko grinned, placing her hands on her hips. Her friends tittered on cue. I recognized Mayu from yesterday and the girl next to her. She was called Iroha Nekomura. She had long pink hair in a ponytail and hazel eyes.

"Listen Meiko, we-" I started, but I was cut off by Meiko,

"No, YOU listen," She walked up to me, her eyes clouded over like a dark storm. Making me jump, her black shoes with a high heel on each of them made a loud clacking sound every time she took a step. She didn't seem so bubbly now, "New girl or not, no one upstages me. Especially when it comes to me and my Len-kun."

"Len isn't yours! Like he's told you a MILLION times!" Teto yelled, "Get over yourself!"

Meiko cocked her head towards Teto, breathing out of her nose furiously, "Watch it squirt, or I'll make BOTH of your lives a living hell!"

The three girls clicked their fingers simultaneously before sauntering off. I groaned, wanting to gag at all this drama and clichés. Teto shivered,

"Whoa..." She glanced at me, "You better watch out. They mean it! This is why we sit at our table together. We unite in our hatred for Meiko and her crew,"

"How come everyone acts like they adore her then?" I asked.

"I guess they're scared...fair enough," Teto replied.

"Why? What's she gonna do? Stab me with her stiletto?" I joked, but Teto didn't laugh along.

"Don't even joke. You better watch out...she's gonna try and ruin your life. With pranks, hurtful comments and rumors,"

I didn't feel scared. I mean, they were a bunch of school girls! I've come across a lot worse! So I simply shrugged,

"No biggie. I know some pranks myself; I'll just play a few pranks on her,"

"It's not that simple..." Teto actually looked a bit worried, "She is the queen of mean. No joke. Don't worry though, we'll help you out! I know Rin, Neru and Dell will want to help out. They really loathe her! Especially Rin, plus Rin is great with pranks."

"Hey, maybe we could plan some of these pranks at Gumi's, right?"

Teto smiled and gave me a thumbs up, "Yeah! I'll tell the others! See you at lunch!"

The red haired girl nodded at me then rushed off. It suddenly occurred to me that I was late too. Though I had no wish to be early for French. Yuck.

...

Three hours of being bored out of mind later, I carefully edged around the canteen with Luka as it was lunch. I still hadn't asked her about Gakupo. I was prepared this time and watching my step and anything coming at us. We made it to our table without any food related incidents.

"Ah, Miku, it's good to see you without food on you." Gakupo complimented, surprising me. Dell raised his eyebrows,

"Did you get the school canteen greeting too?" He asked.

I nodded and turned to Gakupo, "I agree," I took a seat next to Dell, smiling. He didn't say anything, so I thought that was a good sign.

"Anyway, enough with the pleasantries. We have more important things to discuss!" Neru banged her fork on the table, causing everyone to look at her, expectantly,

"I agree. Meiko's had this coming to her for a long time!" Rin agreed, cracking her knuckles. Luka who was now sitting next to her, nudged her.

"Ok, what I don't get is: why you guys hate her so much and how we're gonna teach her a lesson." I asked, looking away from Dell and Gakupo's intense stare.

"Right, here's the lesson in dealing with Meiko-" Neru was cut off by Kaito,

"Hey, shouldn't we wait for Gumi and Len to get here?" He asked. I looked around and found two empty seats next to Luka and Kaito.

"I guess so. But I don't know how Len's gonna deal with this. We all know what he's like," Neru placed her head in her hands.

"Len's a peace maker. He might hate his enemies, but he doesn't like being horrible to people. Plus, I think he feels annoyed that he and Meiko used to be friends. Well, they still are in her eyes," Rin explained after noticing my confused expression.

"What do you mean they were friends?" I asked.

"When me and Len joined Crypton High, Meiko became good friends with him. Not me though; I didn't like her at all and went off by myself to find other friends. Though to be honest, Meiko wasn't so bad back then," Rin sighed before continuing, "Then Meiko started up the Plastics and Len and me made friends with everyone here,"

"What the leeks are the Plastics?" I asked, using my leeks expression. It was my way of not swearing. I knew it mostly didn't make sense, but it worked for me.

"The Plastics are basically Grade-A bitches!" Neru slammed her Coke can down into the table, causing me and Teto to gasp.

"Neru-chan!" Rin whispered, wrapping her arm around her comfortingly.

"What did they do?!" I asked, fearful of her sudden outburst.

"To me? They put eyedrops in my water. And I was sent home because I couldn't stop being sick!" Neru put her head in her hands again, not making a sound. I wasn't sure if she was crying or not, but I reached a hand over and patted her arm in hopes of comforting her.

"Oh god... That's awful!" I cried.

"That's the Plastics for you," Luka gritted her teeth, "Bitches that like to harm people."

"What else have they done?" I asked.

"... Well, there was the time they started the rumor about IA..."

"... And when they taped a helium balloon to Ann's skirt..."

"No, no, the time they released crickets in the boy's locker room!"

"Or when they planted an open bag of dog poo and cat litter in that boy's locker...and it went all over Bruno!"

"Stop, stop!" I yelled, not wanting to hear anymore, "I get it; they more awful!"

"Which is why they need to be taught a lesson!" Rin said. I stood up, completely sure of what needed to be done.

"You're right. We need to stop them. If not for the whole school, then for Neru!" I sat back down, not wanting to make a scene. Kaito stood up and clapped as if I was Barack Obama. I bowed, smiling.

"Right, but how do we do this exactly?" Gakupo asked, passing Luka a pencil. She had obviously lost hers. Their fingers brushed for a brief moments and both of them blushed. Did Gakupo like her too?

"We can talk about it later- at Gumi's house." Dell said, finishing off his bottle of water. I had a feeling Dell was coming too.

"Good idea!"

"Nice one!"

"Hey guys! Sorry we're late!" Len called as he hurried to his seat next to Luka and Gumi took her seat next to Kaito.

"No probs. We were just talking about the Plastics!" Neru said, Rin's arm still draped around her shoulder. I guess she wasn't so upset about her 'incident' anymore.

Gumi stopped chewing at the mention of the group. Len kept chewing though he seemed to be a little paler...

"Why?" He asked simply.

"We're going to teach them a lesson!" Rin said, aggressively.

Everyone nodded along with Rin, me too.

"This'll be easy!" I said, smiling.

"If you say so Miku..." Len mumbled doubtfully.

We all looked over at their table where we saw Meiko laughing at some poor girl's shoes. She looked really nice and didn't deserve the hurtful comments Meiko, Mayu and Iroha were inflicting on her. Luka gritted her teeth, Len rolled his eyes and Dell and Gakupo glared at them. I clenched my fist,

"This means war,"
