I give my uttermost thanks to everyone who's been following 31 Days (: thank you so much! A few more chapters, and it'll be at a close. Tune in for more! ;D
"Kagamine, Rin!" The bespectacled teacher looked up, waving her finals paper impatiently. Rin pushed her chair out and nearly ran to retrieve it. But her heart sank to its lowest extent, and her eyes began to water.
"How… could this be?" Her mind refused to believe this, that she had gotten this grade. Maybe the teacher had run the scantron through incorrectly? Maybe she'd gotten it mixed up with someone else's score? But she realized that this was probably the grade she deserved, even through all of that studying…
"Oh no…" Miku was looking from behind. Rin put down the paper and scowled. "I'm screwed too, since we used the same study notes." Miku paced back and forth, her heart full of worry.
"Hatsune, Miku!" Miku, wide eyed, sprinted from where she was standing and dashed to the front, her long blue hair whipping others in her way. She snatched the paper from the teacher, getting skeptical looks from other students. But a smile reached her face.
"Not bad, I guess…" Rin grabbed the already wrinkled paper and read it. An 84% compared to her… F… and she was the one who did more studying than Miku herself. I can't cry here, of all places. Sometimes, she wished that she'd have someone to comfort her at all times, especially times like these. Even Miku's reassuring shoulder grip didn't calm her down. Len, why don't you ever get back? That feeling of heartache swept over her defensive barriers yet again.
"Damn damn damn!" Len kept facedesking the wooden table, letting his paper flutter to the ground.
"You should have paid more attention…" Mikuo gave him a somewhat supercilious look.
"What would YOU do if you missed your love?" He stopped facedesking for a second and asked his blue-haired companion.
"Well I-" Mikuo looked mad, but he honestly couldn't think. He didn't really like anyone, after all. "You get the point!" He continued.
"Doesn't it suck that these grades count toward our high school transcripts?" Len fumed. And he'd still have finals after this. I wonder how Rin did.
They both felt the same frustration and yearning for each other that day.
