Delinquent Life

Chapter Seven – I don't want to!

Len POV

I've been constantly thinking about what Teto had said to me a couple of days ago. Her words would keep nagging at the back of my head, making me think about my relationship with Rin. Did I think of her as my friend or was it something more? These thoughts would run rampant in my mind to the point where I would constantly get sidetracked during class, but it wasn't like it mattered since I never paid attention to class anyways. If requested I could probably make a long list of Rin's good points but at the same time I could probably do the same with her bad, so I can't be sure if this feeling is of love or just the feeling of mutual friendship. However, despite all this, Rin was still the same assertive girl who would drag me along her pace, and she was currently trying to drag me into something I did not want to get involved with.

"Wait up, Len!" Rin called out to me as she ran.

"I said I didn't want to, didn't I?!" I exclaimed as I ran through the corridor, trying to get away from my blonde assailant.

"We can stop and talk about it!" she shouted.

We were running through the hallways of the school building and I was desperately trying to get away from Rin. However, despite how fast I ran, Rin would always be close behind me.

"Then stop chasing me!" I uttered as I got to the stairwell and quickly climbed up a single flight of stairs to the second floor.

"But you started running!" she accused me and climbed up the stairs as fast as I did.

I knew she was an ex-delinquent, but how could she be so fast? I was gritting my teeth as I skillfully avoided bumping into students and made my way down the hall. Rin also didn't seem to have any trouble at dodging the students since she was still right on my tail. My mind raced as I scanned the area in front of me, trying to find some means to escape. After turning a corner a sudden idea came to mind. The tree! Right as that thought came to mind I quickly veered into one of the classrooms, earning some startled shrieks as I dashed in and ran towards the window. Luckily, the windows were wide open and I kicked off the floor and onto the windowsill, quickly leaping onto the tree located conveniently right outside of the classroom. I grabbed onto the lower branch and dropped myself down onto ground level. Once I touched the ground I looked upwards towards the classroom that I had jumped out of to see Rin looking down at me. She let out a sigh of relief when she saw me, feeling more relieved than surprised by the fact that I had jumped out of the window. It appeared like she wasn't going to chase after me after that great escape maneuver, so I let out a cheer.

"Woo!" my body felt energetic, almost as if adrenaline was pumping through me. I received some curious glances from the people that were out on the field, but I didn't pay attention to them. "It's been a long time since I got this worked up," I said to myself and dusted the dirt off of my uniform.

"Have you had your fun?" a voice asked.

"Yeah, in matter of fact, I di-" before I could finish my sentence, I was swept off of my feet and fell face first into the grass. I tried to push myself up but before I could, two heavy objects got onto my back and pinned me down.

"Sorry Len, but I'm with Rin on this one." Kaito leaned down and said.

"Dang it, get off of me!" I struggled under the weight.

"No can do, Rin's order," Teto replied bluntly. She was one of the weights sitting on my back.

"I'm sorry, Aniki. But they said it was for your own good." Piko apologized. He was also situated on my back.

"How'd you guys even know I'd come out through there?" I asked, still trying to get the two masses off of my back.

"I figured you'd try to escape outside, so we waited out here beforehand," Kaito explained.

"Damn it," I groaned. I was expecting these guys to help Rin, but I had forgotten to note the fact that Kaito could be smart at times

It wasn't long before Rin was able to make her way down to us. By the time she got here, I wasn't struggling anymore since it was futile at this point.

"Len, are you okay?" Rin asked, her voice full of concern.

"Do I look 'okay' to you?" I grunted.

"We had to or you'd keep running away," Rin tried to console me.

"I was running away for a reason," I stated.

"But you're the only one who still hasn't turned in the forms for the field trip." Rin told me.

"That's because I'm not going," I replied.

"Why don't you want to go to the field trip so much?" Kaito asked.

"I didn't go last year, so why should I go this year?" I would have shrugged, but the fact that Piko and Teto were still sitting on top of me kept me from doing so. I wasn't being this reluctant for no reason. The idea of going sightseeing and eating with a group of people that were afraid of you wasn't that tempting. Last year, I knew I would have just been a hindrance to my classmates, so I willingly didn't attend the field trip. So instead of having me around, it would be better if Rin just found a normal group and had fun with them. Even if she didn't have me, she'd still be with Teto and Kaito. Piko wasn't coming along since the 1st years were going to a different location.

"But you have to come with us!" Rin exclaimed.

"You guys can have fun without me." I pointed out.

"It wouldn't be the same without you," she insisted.

"She's right, Len. You're a vital part of our group," Kaito said.

"I don't know about that, but if Rin says you're coming with us, then you're coming with us," Teto declared.

"You could ask someone from our class to take my spot," I suggested.

"If you don't go, then I won't either." Rin suddenly decided.

"Wait, what?!" I glanced at Rin in shock. What would be the point of me not going if Rin decides not to as well?

"Well, if Rin isn't going, then I also won't." Teto shrugged, not really caring about the outcome as long as she was with Rin.

"Hm… I don't want to be the only one that's going, so I guess I'll pass on the field trip as well," Kaito decided.

"Whoa, wait one second. Why are you all deciding not to go now?" I was startled by how fast the situation had changed.

"Ah… I heard we were going to have a BBQ party during the afternoon." Kaito ignored me and let out a sigh.

"I wanted to go sightseeing with everyone as well…" Rin muttered in disappointment.

"Aaaaaaah… Fine, I get it!" I gave in. "I'll go to the field trip. Happy now?" I conceded because if I became the reason why they weren't able to have fun, then the guilt would start gnawing at me for who knows how long.

"Really?!" Rin asked, her mood instantly becoming brighter.

"Yeah, so can you two get off of me now?" I asked the two, who were still sitting comfortably on my back. They looked at Rin, waiting for confirmation and she gave them a nod. I felt the weight disappear from my back and was able to properly breathe again.

"Alright! We did it!" Rin cheered and high-fived Teto.

"What?" I gave Rin a confused glance as I got up and dusted my clothes.

"'Operation: Guilt Trip' worked out great." Kaito smirked.

"Wait, don't tell me…" I felt my eye twitch as I came to the realization. "This was all also part of your plan?!" I exclaimed.

They didn't answer my question, but the grins on all of their faces made it obvious. I let out a groan as I rubbed the temples of my forehead, trying to calm my frustration. I had fallen perfectly for their plan, but in the end all I could do was let out a long sigh. It's impossible to back down now since I had already agreed to it.

"Piko, you better not be writing the word 'gullible' in that again!" I glared at Piko who had his notepad out. He quickly scratched something out of his notepad and shoved it back into his pocket.

"The field trip is going to be great!" Rin said in excitement.

"I wonder if I should pack some ice cream…" Kaito murmured to himself.

"Ha… I don't care anymore." I threw up my hands in defeat.

It's just one simple field trip nothing bad could happen, right…?

CHAPTER END

A/N – Yeah, I know this chapter is incredibly short compared to others, but it was basically supposed to be a build up chapter for the next one. I promise that the next chapter will be much longer than this. It's going to involve more story progression instead of character development or introductions. So yeah… wait patiently for the next chapter! I'm writing it immediately after this one so it should be uploaded by tomorrow, depending on whether something comes up for me or not.

I haven't written any major action scenes in like… 3 chapters? I'm becoming dull!

I'm probably going to add in more characters after a certain point in the story, so feel free to look forward to that. I'm still accepting character ideas, since I'll probably need help getting a decent background story for the character AND the personality. Up till now everyone has been only giving me the background story, but I need the personality more to write it. Dialogues make the scenes! :D

I probably have enough proofreaders, but I need someone who can proofread during the time I'm usually uploading, which is around 11pm Korea and Japan time. So if you're interested then drop me a PM.

I know this wasn't that much of an eventful chapter, but leave a review if you like~ Like I said, the next chapter will be much better! OuO

Also, I had a question to ask you guys. Would the tag 'Humor' suit this story more or would 'Friendship' be better?

Review the reviews

Adorable Reader – Yeah, well… I did sort of avoid any major romance in this chapter, but I think I'm adding some in the next chapter. Right now it's only about Len, but later on Rin's also going to develop some feelings~ Not sure if that counts as a spoiler since it's obvious…

YiPrincess – I guess Friendship does fit this story a lot since it's also about Len making friends for the first time… Eh, I'll let you readers decide what my tag is 8D Hm… I'm not sure if Rin's past is that much complicated, but I can tell you this, the way she became a delinquent was not the same as Len. This might be a spoiler, so you don't have to read it if you want, but Meiko is going to be appearing REALLY soon :D

Jello-is-awesome-123 – Of course you'd be recognized! Proofreaders are essentials to writing a good story C: But I did have to upload this without any proofreading done by anyone since everyone was asleep… oh well~ Yeah, I should probably credit you about the time line. Like I said in the A/N, personality is what gives me good ideas on how to make a character appear in the story!

Jessi-chan9867 – Welp… no development in his feelings in this chapter 8D Sorry 'bout that! I'm not sure how to explain Teto's personality since it's so awkward, but I tried my best in making it :D. The major fluff will probably happen in a couple of chapters… not too sure when though. It depends on if I decide to do character introductions first or story progression first.

Mugi-pyon – Well, Teto doesn't accept Len yet, so that won't be happening anytime soon o; It's funny since I've never watched Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya OuO; And yet I somehow knew the names came from that… Humor is something I try my best to add in almost every chapter, cause I don't want to have some dull story going on, do I? 8D The fluff thing though, is going to come at slow interludes because neither Len or Rin has fully realized their feelings.

Troubled Windchimes – PM Sent~ Yaaaaaaaaaaaaay, still loving your reviews.
