MikuMiku High Chapter 7
It had been a month since school started and it was almost time for the annual Homecoming dance. I woke up on a breezy Autumn morning. It was time to get ready for school. I had walked over to Negi's cage and as usual, he was sleeping. I stroked his white fur to wake him up.
"Negi," I murmured in a soothing voice, "time to wake up boy, it's breakfast time."
Negi's nose twitched as he stretched and yawned and eventually woke up. I poured a few pellets into his food dish and he nibbled at them happily. I went to the kitchen myself where Mikuo was making himself something.
"Good morning sis," he greeted me, "are you hungry at all?"
"No thanks," I said, not being that much of a breakfast person, "I'll just have coffee."
"Okay," Mikuo said pointing to the coffee pot, "it's right there, help yourself."
I reached for the coffee pot and poured myself some coffee.
"So," Mikuo began conversationally, "have you spoken to Kaito at all this weekend?"
"Not much," I said, "we don't really like to talk on weekends."
"I see," Mikuo said, "you two are weird. Anyway, I heard that Homecoming is this weekend. I should try to get him to ask you."
"I really don't know," I said, "you know how awkward I am in social situations like that. That is how both of us are."
Soon we had left for school and I had walked to my locker. Rin was there waiting for me and she had a note in her hand. "This is from Len," she said. I had taken the note from her. I had read it.
Dear Miku,
I heard that you were worried about me, but don't worry anymore. I am going to be coming back soon. I hope you are doing okay. And I hope that Rin didn't scare you too much, because she really likes to lie. Anyway, I was living with mine and Rin's biological family. They are really nice. I should be back some time in second semester. I hope to see you again
Sincerely,
Len Kagamine
I had went to my first class in a chipper mood.
"What are you so happy about?" Teto asked me.
"Len is coming back," I said happily, "I was so worried about him before."
Teto shrugged and ignored me. It is so typical of her. At least I knew that Len was safe. He is one of my best friends and I couldn't help but worry.
"So," Teto said, trying to change the subject, "are you going to Homecoming?"
"I don't know," I said, "it depends on if Kaito is going."
"Kaito, Kaito, Kaito!" Teto said exasperated, "That's all I hear out of you. Don't you ever talk about anything else?"
"Well excuse me for having a crush Teto!" I exclaimed angrily, "Excuse me for not jumping from boyfriend to boyfriend like you do!"
"At least I get something," Teto retorted.
"Whatever," I said, "just whatever, I don't want to start an argument."
After that class, I went through the rest of my day mad at Teto. It was until lunch period that my mood changed around, when I saw Kaito.
"Hi Miku," he said with a smile, but when he saw my angry expression, his face changed, "bad mood?"
"Yes," I said, "I just got told off by Teto for talking about you."
"She has no right doing that," Kaito said, "Why did she tell you off?"
"Well," I explained, "she asked me if I was going to Homecoming, and I said-"
"You would go if I were going," he cut me off, "sorry to interrupt, but your brother is in one of my classes and he was trying to convince me to go with you."
"And are you going?" I asked. I knew Mikuo had my best interests in hand.
"I would," Kaito said, "but I can't. My mom and my sister are going to be out of town and there's nobody to watch the house, because my brother Akaito went back to school, and my brother Nigaito works until late at night."
"I see," I said, and slumped over in disappointment.
"But," I said, "my mom said I could have people over if I wanted, so if you want to come over you can."
"Okay," I said excitedly, "my brother can drop me off on his way to the dance."
He then wrote down his address on a piece of paper. I had then noticed something else under it. I tried to get a better look. He then saw that I was trying to look and he covered it.
"You don't want to see that," Kaito said quickly, "it's not finished yet."
"Can I see what you have so far?" I asked.
He slid the piece of paper over by me, and on it was a picture of me wearing the outfit I wore on my birthday and hugging what looked like a giant leek.
"It's cute," I giggled, "that looks like the outfit I was wearing on my birthday."
"It is," I said, "you look really nice when you dress up. I was hoping if you do come over this weekend, if you would dress up again, only this time, wear your hair down, like you did the one day. It's pretty like that."
"I might do that," I said, "and hopefully you'll be done with that by then."
Soon Neru had joined us. "What's up people," she said energetically.
"Hi Neru," Kaito greeted her.
"Hi Kai," she greeted Kaito, "Hi Miku."
"Wait," Kaito said, "how do you know Miku?"
"Play auditions," Neru replied, "we were both auditioning for the part of the Deformed Diva. Unfortunately they gave it to Haku Yowane, it figures, they give it to the English teacher's daughter."
"Talk about favoritism," I sighed.
The three of us then continued our lunch period, and then went on our way to the rest of our classes. I was so excited for this weekend.
"What are you so happy about?" Mikuo asked, "I thought Kaito couldn't go to the dance this weekend."
"He still can't," I said, "but he invited me over, because his mom and sister are going out of town and he will be home by himself."
"You better be careful," Mikuo warned me, "and remember if he tries any funny stuff, do those karate moves I used to do on you."
"Okay I will," I chuckled, "but in all seriousness, I will be careful."
