Chapter 9- My Butterfly on My Right Shoulder [Edited]
Normal POV; Tuesday
Rin was exhausted. Not sleepy exhausted, but stress exhausted. There's a difference.
That next Friday would be Halloween, and Yamaha already put posters for a Halloween Party there. She peeled one off the wall, reading it.
Where? Yamaha High School
When? Friday, October 31
Who's Hosting It? Gumi Megpoid and Teto Kasane
We hope to see you there~
Rin smiled to herself. Everything, thankfully, was coming back together. It seemed normal again. Like how she wanted. That's when the intercom came on.
"All students report to the Student Council Room. I repeat. All students report to the Student Council Room."
She sighed, following students to the room where they were directed to. Suddenly, she felt an arm interlock with hers. She looked over to see Gumi there. She widened her eyes. "Hey, Rin. I'm sorry you had to go through all that drama these past couple of weeks. I hope I didn't bother you."
Rin shook her head. "Why would you have bothered me? And that's okay. It's all back to normal. And I heard you're hosting the Halloween Party. Are you excited?"
Gumi's brilliant, yet bright smile adored her lips. "Of course! Teto is hosting with me! This is going to be a blast!"
"Defiantly."
"Oh, did you hear?" she asked.
Rin raised an eyebrow. "Hear what?"
"Kagamine-kun has a new girlfriend!"
"WHAT?!"
"Thank you all for coming in here. If you don't know, my name is IA, and I'm the Student Council President," a girl with pink-blonde hair and baby blue eyes introduced. She stood at a podium while everyone seated in chairs in front of her. She also held a folder close to her chest.
Len, who was beside Mikuo, crossed his arms. It seemed that Rei and Len weren't talking anymore because of what happened. Rin felt sorry for Len though. Deep, DEEP down. "What is this about anyway?" he blurts out.
IA smiled at him, pulling out a piece of paper from her folder. "Since we are having a Halloween Party here, we are holding auditions for who will sing at the party." Everyone blinked, gasped, or nodded. "There will only be two will participate, and those two have to make a song together when they are picked."
"That sounds…"
"AWESOME?!"
"Uh, duh! Who's in?!"
"Me!"
"I can sing with no problem~"
Luka, who stood next to Rin, nudged her in the side. Rin glared at her, whining, "That kinda hurt…"
"You can sing, can't you?"
"A little," the blonde mumbled.
"Well, audition! I bet you'll sound great," Luka urged, smiling brightly.
Rin shook her head briskly. "No, no, no, no, no! No! I am not going to audition! Not even if you force me."
"But, it'll be something different."
"No, and I'm not arguing with you, Luka," Rin huffed, turning her head the other way.
"You sound like my parents…"
IA placed the paper back in her small folder. "Okay! That's all I have to say. You can either come in here, or go to Master's office for the forms. If you audition, have fun, and best of luck!"
"Rin!"
Rin turns at the call of her name to see SeeU and a few other girls run up to her. She tilts her head in confusion. "SeeU?" she asked until she saw the blonde in front of her bow.
"We're so sorry, Rin!"
The other girls did the same as SeeU. Rin felt her face heating up when Luka nudged her again. "We're sorry for not believing you! We promise to never do that again!"
Rin smiled, taking SeeU's hands. The said girl stood up straight, blinking, wondering what Rin was doing. "SeeU...that's all in the past. Let's just be friends, okay?"
SeeU blushed and nodded. "Yeah! of course!"
Soon, SeeU left to go to the Principal's office for the form to sing at the party. Luka was still at Rin's side, nudging her. Rin glared at the pinkette. "Stop doing that! What do you want?!" she shouted, irritated.
"Everything is coming back to its place in the puzzle~ I'm so happy for you."
Rin shook her head. "Not yet, no."
Luka arched an eyebrow. "What do you mean? I think everything is fine."
Rin tried to imitate Gumi's voice: "Have you heard?! Kagamine-kun has a new girlfriend!"
Luka's eyes widened. "What? Why?"
"If I knew, wouldn't I have told you?"
"Come on, let's go find Len before class starts. We only have three minutes left." That's when Luka grabbed Rin's hand and dragged her around the school for Len. When she opened a door to a classroom, specifically that science classroom, she saw Len with a girl who has long blonde hair in a side ponytail. The two had their faces inches apart, reading to kiss until Luka stopped them. "Hey! Len! Wait!"
The two turned their heads in aggravation. The blonde one who sat next to Len glared at them before flipping out her phone. Len stood up. "What do you guys want? Can't you see I'm busy?"
Luka and Rin stood still, watching the blonde in front of them text away before putting her phone in her pocket. "I have no time for this. Too bad they interrupted us. You missed the good stuff." She winked and walked over to the door, but Rin stood in front of it. "Excuse me," she said with as much venom as she could muster. Rin smiled nervously, stepping aside to let her through.
Len crossed his arms at the two. "Why are you guys always in my business anyway? Do you love me that much?"
Luka shook her head, clearing her throat. "The new girlfriend?"
"How'd you know?" Len smirked. Luka rolled her eyes, looking over at Rin who was frozen. She nudged the blonde in the side to make her get back to reality.
"Huh?! What?" Rin asked, shaking her head frantically. When she saw the two, she smiled sheepishly. "Oh...heh-heh! Sorry."
Len sighed. "Yes, that's the new girlfriend. Neru Akita. She's such a Tsundere~ I guess that's why I love her~"
"Bleh!" Rin exclaimed, pointing at her tongue. Len blinked his azure eyes at her.
"What's your problem? Jealous?" He felt his lips arch in another smirk.
Rin grimaced. "Ew. Not even close. You never stay single for long, huh?"
Len chuckled. "You know it."
Len's POV
That Miku and Rei arc is finally behind all of us. I wanted it to be over ever since Rin said something about her cheating on me. Honestly, I wanted to believe Rin, but it just seemed impossible for a girl like Miku to do all that stuff. Well, it's okay at the end. I end up with a Tsundere girl named Neru Akita! I'm so lucky~
Too bad Luka and Rin interrupted my "smooch-on" with her though. Ugh! They're so going to pay!
I got with Neru yesterday. But, when I think about it...she only cares at her phone. Does she care about her phone more than me? She's a fast texter! But, that's not the point, Len!
When I walk home afterschool that day, I see Rin in front of my house with a bright smile on her face. I shiver. "What is it now? That smile looks freaking creepy!"
Rin's smile dropped. "Well, I'm sorry for being ugly!"
I sweat-dropped. "I didn't say that…" Sigh. Girls.
Rin's eyes sparkled, and I got creeped the bananas out! "So, you DO think I'm pretty?!"
"You can think that. I'm not stopping you!" I yelp.
Rin sighed, rolling her eyes. "Boys…"
I shake my head. "Why are you here anyway? I have things to do."
"Like make out with your girlfriend?" she snorted.
I scratch the back of my head, forcing a blush to come on my face. Girls love it when guys blush~ "I get embarrassed when you say stuff like that," I whimper, my eyes sparkling innocently.
Instead of Rin cooing, she sticks her tongue out in disgust. "Gross! Stop it. That's not cute. It makes you look weird."
I grunt. "You just don't get me."
"I don't need to get you."
"Nice comeback."
Rin smiles at my sarcasm. "Thanks. I've been working on it."
I shake my head again. "But you didn't answer my question. What are you doing here?"
Rin nods, asking, "What are you going to do about the Halloween Party?"
I quirk an eyebrow at her. "What do you mean?"
"Everyone wants to audition to sing for the party. Are you?"
I shrug. "I'm thinking about it. I can sing. Sort of."
Rin snickers. "I doubt it."
I clench my fist, my eyes flashing in determination. "What? Do you want proof?!"
She smirks. "It's so easy to tick you off, Lennypoo~ and yes, I'll love to see your 'proof'."
I growl, opening the door to my house for her. Rin walks in and I close the door behind her. Thank the Banana God that Lenka isn't here. Wait. Are my parents here? Ah, it wouldn't matter. They're always upstairs in their room, doing...stuff…
ANYWAY!
I take Rin's wrist, saying, "Here, I'll take you to the piano room."
"You have a real life piano?!" Her eyes were huge.
"Have you ever seen a piano before?" I ask, sweat-dropping. This girl needs help.
She scoffs. "Of course. I just never played one before."
I feel my lips urge up in a smile. "Good. Maybe I can teach you the basics."
Rin stared before grinning her bright grin. "Yeah. That'll be nice!"
When I took her to the piano room, her eyes seemed bigger than her stomach. "It's not like there's anything fascinating here, Rin. My family couldn't afford a new piano." The piano room has red carpet and wooden walls. In the middle, laid the famous piano I play afterschool, and in my free time. Like I said, it wasn't new. But, it fit my basics. There was also random book shelf in here too. It's useless because our family doesn't even read that much. Weird…
"This room is so COOL!" Rin gawked, smoothing the piano keys, her mouth hanging open. I laugh sheepishly.
"Thanks, I guess. Get out the way so I can sing."
Rin rolled her eyes. "Yes, sir," she complied, stepping aside to let me sit at the piano seat. I stretch out my fingers, ready to play. "You know the song by heart?"
I nod. "This song is called 'Butterfly on Your Right Shoulder'."
And I played, with my eyes closed. I felt at peace. I felt like I was in my own world, with only my piano and I. That would be a perfect world. That's when my part came, so I opened my mouth to sing.
"migikata ni murasaki choucho kisu shita kono heya no sumi de
setsunai to iu kanjou wo shiru
hibiku piano fukyou waon…"
And I went on. With Rin listening. Yeah. This would certainly be the perfect world.
Sadly, I stopped with a "fukyou waon" and Rin was silent. Did she like the song? I'd be kinda heartbroken, but I'll accept. Just this once. I smile at her mellowly. "So? Did...did you like it?"
"Len…" That's when her eyes got glassy. I get shocked, so I stand up.
"Are...are you okay, Rin? Was my song that bad to make you cry?" Argh. I feel terrible now.
Rin glared at me. "You idiot!" she punched my chest lightly. "I'm crying because that song was so beautiful! Not the song in general…" She whipped away a stray tear on her face. "But the way you sang the song. That's why I was crying."
I felt my heart bang against my chest. Yep.
This is the perfect world for me.
