What a quick update! Be proud.
SincerelyRinxLen: No problem :)!
Thanks for the review!
iDontCare: I might put Oliver with Neru, we'll see. No, the picture doesn't give away the ending, there's still time for Len to get back in there :). I don't think I'll be bringing back Teto this series, but this definitely won't be the end of her! I don't know where you got the comment about my school year ending from...my school year ends in July. I have no idea how you think you saw that.
Thanks for the review!
mirrors02: It's okay if you don't like Mikuo, I don't want you all to have the same opinions :).
Thanks for the review!

"Typical Rin"
Chelsea - The Summer Set

Hey, everyone! This weekend has been full of...surprises.
FRIDAY
Mikuo had told me that Oliver needed a date for the party and I knew the perfect person to ask.
Rui's Bedroom
"I'll pass." Rui said after I'd asked her. Her hair was up in a plait that ended up behind her head in a bun, she wore a grey top, blue hoodie, blue tracksuit bottoms, grey fingerless gloves and blue/grey trainers. She had in all of her piercings, black eye shadow, eyeliner and nude lipstick.
"Why not?! Oliver is cool!" I grinned awkwardly. My hair was down and curly one side, straight the other with a fringe swept across my forehead. I wore a black long sleeved top, black skinny jeans and long brown boots. I had in white stud earrings black eye shadow, eyeliner and light pink lipstick.
"Isn't he like...12?" She asked, frowning.
"No, he's 16! Come on, please come with us." I replied, smiling.
"I don't know about this...what kind of party is this anyway?" She said to me.
"It's just a small formal party. It'll be fun! I promise." I grinned.
"Eh, I don't know..." She trailed off.
"There's free food." I said.
"I'm in." She told me.
It was official. Oliver had a date and it was time for us to have a good night.
My Living Room
Rui and I posed in front of my dad's camera. I wore a strapless hot pink dress with a sticky out hem at the bottom, a sliver necklace with a ruby in it, silver stilettos and white stud earrings. Rui wore a strapless black dress with a silver trim around the waist, silver strappy heels and a chunky silver necklace. Her hair was up in a low messy bun with a grey clip in the back.
My dad wore an un-tucked grey dress shirt with his top button undone, black trousers and light purple shoes. Mum wore a black long sleeved top, light blue skinny jeans, knee length baggy black boots and a dark blue/light blue striped scarf. She also had light brown eye shadow, black eyeliner and nude lip gloss on.
"Okay, girls, ready?" Dad asked, waiting to take the photo. "Say cheese!"
There was a flash and our picture was taken. Rui was leaning over towards the camera slightly winking and making an 'okay' sign with her fingers, while I did the same, but with my head leaning towards Rui, laughing and making a 'peace' sign with my fingers.
"So beautiful! Now take some of the boys, Kaito!" Mum smiled.
The boys' picture was Oliver winking at the camera and Mikuo with his arm around him, putting his thumb up at the camera. They were both wearing matching black suits with white dress shirts, but Oliver had a red tie and Mikuo had a black tie.
Then there was a picture taken of my mum kissing my cheek while I grinned at the camera.
After that we had me kissing Mikuo's cheek whilst he grinned at the camera with his arms around Rui and I. Rui was leaning into Mikuo, making a 'peace' sign with her fingers.
Finally, there was a really cute picture of Rui grinning down at Oliver who was kissing her hand.
When we walked outside, we found a black limo waiting for us!
"Okay now, Rin, pose on the car like those girls do in the rap videos!" Mum smiled.
"Meiko!" Dad scowled.
"Mum..." I trailed off.
"I mean...have fun!" She said.
The Party
Rui, Oliver and I were sat talking at one of the tables while Mikuo went to get us some drinks.
"I swear if another piece of fucking confetti flies in my eye I'm gonna slap a bitch." Rui scowled.
"Yuck! I just swallowed one!" I complained.
"I think the confetti is kind of cool!" Oliver grinned at Rui.
"That's because yo're like, 10 years old, hun." She grinned sarcastically.
"I'm only 2 years younger than you!" He snapped.
"Has anyone seen Mikuo? He left here like, 10 minutes ago." I said.
"Yes, he's over there talking to that football player...that very sexy football player." Rui told me dreamily, looking over at Mikuo and some guy.
"Hey, I'm pretty cute too, ya know." Oliver grinned at Rui.
"Oliver is a cutie pie, Rui." I said to her.
"Aww thanks, Rin!" Oliver said.
I needed to get away from those two. Rui was being pretty rude to Oliver and I couldn't be around for it.
Raise Your Glass - P!nk

The Bar
I sat mulling over the last ten minutes until I heard a familiar voice behind me.
"Can I sit?" Len asked. He was wearing a black suit with a grey dress shirt and a purple tie.
"Sure." I replied.
"What are you doing here?" I asked after he sat on the glass stool.
"I'm someone's plus 1." He replied.
"Riiiight. You know you're stalking me." I said.
"Yup! I'm so stalking you." He told me.
"I don't like your tone..." I trailed off.
Just then, Miku walked over to us wearing a dark purple dress with a white chest hem and straps, the same necklace as Rui and white stud earrings. Her hair was curly and swept to the side. She had black eye shadow, eyeliner and dark purple lipstick.
"Hey there, Rin." She said to me.
"Hi, Miku." I said, getting up.
"Look, I was thinking maybe we could have lunch together tomorrow. You know, with the boys." She told me.
"Is this some sort of joke?" I asked her.
"She's dead serious." Len said.
"I'll see you at the Garden Cafe tomorrow at 2:30. Let's go, Len." She told us.
I didn't tell Mikuo about my encounter with Miku until after the party.
The Limo
"So, Miku wants us to eat lunch with her tomorrow, Mikuo..." I trailed off, once the limo stopped in front of my house.
"What the hell does she want to talk about?" Oliver asked me, scowling.
"I don't want to have to beat another girl's ass for you, Rin." Rui snapped at me.
"Rin can handle Miku on her own, she doesn't need anyone's help." Oliver smiled snidely at Rui, raising one eyebrow.
"You said we weren't going, right?" Mikuo asked me, pulling the same face as his brother. God, they look alike.
"I'm actually kind of curious about what she wants to tell me...we're going." I replied, copying his facial expression like the tease I am.
"What?!" Oliver said to me, his eyes wide.
"This is going to be good." Rui smiled.
"Are you sure you wanna do this?" Mikuo said to me.
"Positive." I told him, my eyebrow feeling stuck a centimetre above the other one.
SATURDAY
Away From the Sun - 3 Doors Down

My House
"I'm leaving!" I called out as I walked out of the door. I was wearing a pink short sleeved blouse, a grey skirt, grey dolly shoes, white heart shaped stud earrings and a silver bracelet. My hair was in a messy side plait. I had black eyeliner and nude lipstick.
I saw someone standing in our front garden like a creep.
"Um, excuse me, can I help you?" I asked.
It was a red haired woman wearing a green blouse with the top button undone, a black belt, white stud earrings and black rectangular glasses. Her hair was down and slightly kinked up with a small fringe swept across her forehead. She had light pink lipgloss on.
"Hi, I'm CUL. I'm Kaito Kagene's new assistant. I was just waiting for him to come outside. We're carpooling." She replied, smiling.
"New assistant? What happened to Osamu?" I said to her.
"Osamu? Who's Osamu?" She asked.
Just then, Dad came outside wearing a grey dress shirt, black tie, light purple jumper,black trousers and grey shoes.
"I see you've met my daughter, Rin." He said to CUL.
"Yes, I didn't even know she was your daughter, Kaito. She looks nothing like you." She told him.
"That's because she looks like her beautiful mother." Dad said.
"Dad, isn't it kind of inappropriate to call your boss by his first name?" I asked him, scowling.
"And she gets that feisty attitude from her mother as well." He told CUL.
"Cute..." She trailed off.
"I think we better go. Have fun at lunch, Rin. Tell Mikuo I said hi." Dad smiled at me.
The Garden Cafe
Len, Miku, Mikuo and I all sat at the table to hear what Miku had to say.
"Is there a reason why we're in an empty cafe?" Mikuo asked Miku. He was wearing a black and white checked dress shirt with the top button undone.
"Yes, I didn't want anyone to hear what I'm about to tell you guys." Miku replied, grinning. She wore a mint green long sleeved off the shoulder dress. Her hair was down and slightly kinked up and part of it was brushed to the other side. She had black eye shadow, eyeliner and light pink lipstick on.
Okay...so tell us." Len said. He was wearing a purple t-shirt and black stud earrings.
"I'm pregnant." She told us.
"I knew it! Damn, where's Kanye West's Gold-Digger song when you need it!" Mikuo smiled.
"You won't have a single dime left by the time she's done with you, Len." I said to him.
"I haven't touched her." He said.
"Oh my god. You don't know who the dad is?! I'm calling Jeremy Kyle!" I told Miku.
"Wow, I was kidding." She said to us.
"What the fuck. What's the real reason you brought us here?" Len asked her, scowling.
"Well, as you guys know, I'm studying fashion design and there's this company I want to work for..." She trailed off, grinning.
"And?" I asked.
"You three are the only people who can get me an interview with the company." She replied.
"You want us to help YOU?" Mikuo said to her.
"Yes! You're borderline famous, so I know if you recommended me then they'll talk to me. And Rin, your dad is one of the best lawyers in the country and your aunt is a council woman, so I know you have connections. And Len...you have the finances I need to get my career started." She said.
"You're...you're kidding, right?" I asked her, scowling.
"She has to be. There's no way in hell I'm helping you." Mikuo told Miku.
"Pleaseeee?" She asked Mikuo and I, grinning.
"You've made our lives HELL. And you expect us to help you?" I said to her.
"You want MONEY from me?" Len asked.
"This is bullshit." Mikuo snapped.
"For once I agree with you." Len said, looking at Mikuo.
"Can you at least think about it?" Miku asked us, looking down at the table.
"Whatever. Come on, Rin, let's get out of here." Mikuo told me.

I HAD to tell my mum about this...Miku was out of her mind.
My Kitchen
I leant on the kitchen island while Mum washed up the plates from dinner. I wore my grey long sleeved off the shoulder top with light pink polka dots and the matching bed shorts. My mum was wearing a grey short sleeved night gown with a dark orange trim.
"Can you believe she asked ME for help, Mum?" I asked.
"The girl has been torturing you since Year 6. She has a lot of nerve." She replied.
"Right! Like, are you fucking kidding me?" I said to her.
Just then, the doorbell rang.
"Can you get that, honey?" Mum asked.
I walked out of the kitchen, through the study/living room and into the hall to answer the door.
"Rui?" I asked, before I'd even opened it.
Her hair was up in a messy bun. She was wearing a grey jumper, black skinny jeans and tan Ug boots with white fur.
"Oh my god." I frowned.
The poor thing had a huge gash on her nose and a cut by her left eye.
"Can I come in? Maybe stay the night?" She asked.
My Room
"It's actually not as bad as it looks." Rui said, looking at herself in the mirror, while Mum and I stood behind her.
"Rui, sweetie, you have a black eye." Mum told her.
"Who did this to you?" I asked her, frowning.
"Lin and her friends were drinking and they just started fighting with me." She replied.
Lin and her friends just beat her up for no reason? I'm not saying Rui is a liar, but...something didn't sound right.
"We need to call your mum." Mum said, looking at Rui.
"NO. I'll talk to her about it when I get back home." She told her.
"Rui, if you don't tell her in 24 hours, I will." Mum threatened.
Just then, Dad walked in.
"I can't find the sleeping bags, so you're going to have to sleep in the bed with Rin, Rui. But you'll have the bed all to yourself when Rin goes back to her dorm on Monday." He said to her.
I didn't want to live in the dorms. I didn't want to deal with Ava or crazy ass Bruno.
"Actually, Dad, I wanted to talk to you about that." I said.
"There's nothing to talk about. I already paid for a term. you're living there." He told me.
"Okay..." I trailed off.
SUNDAY
I smiled as I watched Rui cover up her cuts with my makeup. She was wearing my grey dolly shoes, forest green skinny jeans and my black sleeveless blouse. I was wearing a black jumper that came down to the bottom of my stomach with a cross embroidered on it with white and gold thread, dark blue shorts with a black belt decorated with gold studs, white stud earrings and black Toms.
"How bad do I look?" She asked, prodding at her plaster.
"You don't look bad at all. The makeup covers everything."I replied, smiling.
"Are you just saying that?" She said to me.
"No, you look great, I promise." I told her.
"Rin! Rui! Come here!" Mum called from in the living room.

My Living Room
Mum was wearing an oversized grey jumper with a black trim, grey leggings, knee high black baggy boots and white stud earrings.
"I have a little surprise for you guys..." She trailed off, smiling.
"W-what is that?" Rui asked.
"Mum...who are they?" I said to her, my eyes wide.
"This is Lapis." Mum told us, gesturing towards the little girl with short blue hair, she was wearing a purple short sleeved top with a cheetah print, dark blue rolled up jeans, white flip flops and her hair had a pink bow in it.
"It's like she's staring into my soul." Rui said to us, looking down at Lapis, who was killing her slowly with her evil eyes.
"And this is Merli!" Mum said, showing us a beautiful toddler with dark purple hair that was up in a messy side plait. She wore a sleeveless orange overall with a daisy on each strap and a little pocket at the bottom with a white frill, forest green pants and little pink and white trainers.
"I need you to babysit them while I go out with their mum for a few hours. Good luck!" Mum smiled.
Then she just went into the hall and walked out of the door!
"You guys like Vodka?" Rui asked the girls.
"You know, if you and Hatsune had a kid, I'm pretty sure she'd look like Merli." Rui grinned, picking her up and cuddling her.
Rui did have a point, a lot of Merli's facial features resembled Mikuo's and her dark blue eyes did sort of remind me of mine.
"Speaking of Hatsune...we have to meet them at the park. You wanna go to the park, Lapis?!" I asked her, grinning.
"Leave me alone!" She replied, smiling and throwing her dolls back into their house.
That little a-hole...
Anyway, we went to the park and had a good time.
Rui took Merli on the carousel.
I played some hopscotch.
Lapis played happily in the sand.
Oliver and I had some fun on the see-saw. He was wearing a dark green t-shirt with some random guys face on it, dark blue rolled up jeans and brown Toms.
Lapis played pirates in the tree house.
Kyle and I went down the slide together and ended up hugging at the bottom of it. He was wearing a grey t-shirt, dark blue skinny jeans and black Converse.
Oliver and Rui had a little chat together on the swings.
Rui's P.O.V.
"So, what happened to your nose? Another girl fight?" Oliver asked, smiling.
"Something like that...I got into a fight with my sister." I lied.
"Oh, family fight? Ouch." He smiled.
"Yeah, but I wouldn't expect you to know anything about that. You come from a perfect family." I said.
"Actually, my mum was kind of abusive before my dad divorced her. So I can relate." He grinned sadly.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know." I apologised, frowning slightly.
"I didn't expect you to." He told me.
Rin's P.O.V.
We dropped the girls off at their house and Mikuo gave us a lift back home.
Outside My House
After Mikuo drove away, I noticed the fancy white car parked on the grass which my mum was stood next to.
"Uhh, who's car is that?" I asked her, my eyes wide.
"Do you like it?!" She grinned at me.
"Holy shit, it's yours!" Rui told me, her smile widening.
My Car
Rui and I hopped in the car and looked around.
"Your parents are awesome! My mum wouldn't even buy me a bike!" She grinned, her eyes wide.
"Yeah, they're great...now get out. I'm meeting Len somewhere." I said to her.
"You're kicking me out to go meet HIM?" She asked, scowling.
"Yes...Now get out! Love yooouuu!" I replied, smiling.
Len had texted me, asking me to meet him to talk, so I agreed.

Salt and Battery
"Hey, friend!" I said, sitting down at the small table outside.
Len was wearing a black v-neck shirt, dark blue hoodie, black skinny jeans and black trainers.
"Thanks for coming." He said to me.
"No problem. What did you want to talk about?" I asked.
"Miku." He replied.
"Can you believe she asked us to help?!" I said.
"I think I'm going to help her out." He told me.
"What? She's using you." I said to him.
"No, she cares about me, unlike you." He said.
"Whoooaaah, what are you talking about?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.
"I read your blog, Rin. You've never loved me." He replied.
"Uhh, I didn't mean it like THAT. And you think that whore cares about you more than I ever did?" I said to him.
"Eh, that's the way it seems." He told me.
"Okay, I'm leaving now." I said.
I got up and walked out of the gate. I heard Len's voice as I walked off.
"Yup, typical Rin. Running away without talking things out. It's getting old!"
You know...for a guy who reads my blog, he sure was clueless about my feelings for him when we were dating. If he decides to give his money to Miku then that's on him. I'm tired of looking out for him. I'm ready to go back to school...I'm sick of the surprises.
Hi, Len ;)
