Wow, this is a really late update. True to my word in the previous chapter, I said I was going to take a break during the weekends, so I did. I didn't write a single word until the weekend ended. This chapter had a lot of decisions I had to make so that also delayed the upload speed. I hope you guys aren't too upset about the late update!

Delinquent Life

Chapter Ten – Election!

Len POV

The following day after my declaration, everyone gathered in an empty classroom after school.

"So what are you two going to run for?" I directed my question to Kaito and Teto.

"If we all run for student council, the ballot would probably look like this." Rin picked up a piece of chalk and started writing on the blackboard.
President: Kagami Rin
Vice President: Ka-ga-mine Lun
Treasurer: Shion Kaito
Secretary: Kasane Teto
"Can you please learn how to spell my name?" I muttered, putting my palm against my face.

"The treasurer handles the student council's budget, so I can probably handle that." Kaito said.

"I guess this is where your brains actually come in handy." I joked.

"You know I helped you study duri-…" Kaito stopped himself mid sentence. "Right… they were beyond my help," He muttered to himself, recalling the outcome.

"I know you're reliable, but what about her?" I turned to glance at Teto.

"Of course I am!" Teto exclaimed.

"Do you even know what the secretary does?" I questioned her.

"The secretary's role is to assist the President in any way possible! They're in charge of the President's paperwork and writing down ideas for future plans!" Teto explained briefly. "It's the perfect role for Rin's right hand man!"

"I guess you do know then." I raised an eyebrow at her, impressed. Truth be told, I didn't even know what they did to begin with.

"Fufu… I stayed up all night studying for this. If it's for the sake of becoming a better right hand man, then I'll do my best!" Teto declared.

What a useless thing to stay up all night for… I sweatdropped.

"But aren't you supposed to help the vice presidents as well?" Kaito inquired.

"He can handle himself," Teto said nonchalantly, as she gave me a side glance.

"Wait, what's that supposed to mean!?" I glared at her.

Before Teto could reply, Piko came running into the room.

"Aniki!" he shouted as he bolted to me. "Bad news!"

"What?" I glanced at him, startled by his sudden entrance.

"Rin-senpai might lose the election!" he told us urgently.

"Huh?" Rin turned her attention to Piko.

"There's another person running for student council president!" he explained.

"What?!" Rin stood up abruptly.

"I checked out the bulletin board on my way here, and the candidates for the student council were up, and amongst everyone's name there was another person running for student council president!" Piko recalled what he had seen earlier.

"Who is this bastard?!" Teto cracked her knuckles as she asked.

"Uhm… I think her name was Sakine Meiko." He tapped his chin as he remembered.

"Why does it feel like I've heard that name before…?" I thought out loud.

"She's in the class next to us." Kaito told me.

"Uh… do I still have a chance in winning?" Rin asked hesitantly.

"Well… you know that I have the highest grades in school, right?" Kaito asked.

"Yeah," I groaned, feeling irritated by his off topic question.

"Well, Sakine has been trying to compete against me for first place for a while now, and I heard that she's also good at sports." Kaito informed us.

"So… basically, you're telling us that she's student council president material?" I concluded.

"Kuh." Rin cringed as if my words had pierced her.

"Does Rin-senpai still have a chance?" Piko asked nervously.

"Possibly," Kaito shrugged. "It seems it's rare to see her talking to people."

"Does she not have any friends?" I inquired. She reminded me of myself from before I met Rin, other than the fact that she was actually smart.

"I'm not sure, but Rin might be able to stand a chance," Kaito said.

"Wouldn't it be funny if Rin was the only one who didn't make it into the student council?" I said in a joking manner. However, once I did, everyone went silent and stared at me, making it apparent that this was no joking matter. I bit my lip, as I regretted what I had asked. "Right… uh… I'm going to use the bathroom…" I told them awkwardly and stood up from my seat.

Once I got out of the classroom, I walked through the hallways aimlessly. I may have said that I was going to the bathroom, but I was simply trying to get away from that atmosphere.

"Geez… they can't even take a joke. I was just trying to lighten up the mood a bit." I muttered to myself. "Now I look like an asshole."

Feeling the need for some fresh air, I headed out the back entrance of the school. The school field was occupied by clubs at the moment, so I wanted to avoid bumping into people. There were benches set out behind the school for students who wanted to eat their lunches here, so I made use of them and sat back onto one.

"I'll go back to everyone, once things have settled down." I told myself.

Before I could even start basking in the silence, I was quickly interrupted.

"Well, if it isn't Kagamine." A voice said in recognition from the back entrance of the school.

"Huh?" I turned to glance at the owner of the voice. Standing by the door was a girl with short brown hair, which barely reached her shoulders. If my perception was correct, her hair was even shorter than Rin's. She seemed familiar, but I couldn't get my head around to where I've seen her before.

"I was surprised. I heard you were running for vice president?" She was talking to me familiarly.

"Uhm… who are you?" I asked, a bit taken aback by her sudden familiarity.

"Rather rude. You don't even recognize me?" She strolled over to me. "I'm Meiko; I was in the same class as you last year."

Oh, that explains a lot. I began to understand why she felt so familiar. I was never able to interact with any of my classmates last year because of the rumors, so it made sense that I didn't remember her.

"Hm… if a guy like you turns out to become my underling, it's going to be smooth sailing for me." She smirked at the idea.

Was she always like this? I heard she had good grades, but why is she so different from what I had expected? She had an intimidating aura radiating from her.

"The person that'll be student council president is me," she declared with her voice full of confidence. "This I'm confident of."

"You talk big, but this is an election; no one knows what the outcome will be," I retorted.

"She doesn't stand a chance. She has the worst grades compared to the entire 2nd years." She pointed out. "If Kagami Rin has the time to run for student council president, then she should be using that time to study instead," She emphasized.

I felt a cold sweat go down my neck as I heard her words. S-She's right…

"She only works hard, but she's actually an idiot, huh?" Meiko inquired.

"Guh…" I muttered a noise as I put my hand against my face. Meiko was completely right. I couldn't deny anything.

"Do you understand now? I'm the one who should be president." Meiko stated with a smirk.

I shook my head roughly, getting rid of my doubt for Rin and stood up from the bench.

"You're right, but…" I went in front of her in confrontation. "It's all 'cause she wanted to be president so badly, that I'm running for vice president." I told her sternly. "And I don't think I'm going to be some 'prodigy' girl's underling," I stated. She was taller than me, so I was glaring up at her. It must have appeared comical for anyone who was watching, to see a short boy glaring at a taller girl.

"Alright then… let's do it this way then." She started pulling up her sleeves. "If I win then you'll become my underling, but if you win I'll back down from the president spot." She told me and started loosening a few buttons from her uniform Y-shirt.

"Wait… what are yo-" but before I could ask, something lunged at my head. I was able to successfully block the blow with my arms, but she didn't relent and forced me back a good distance. "The hell was that…" I grumbled and lowered my now numb arm. I turned to look at my assailant; Meiko was standing a couple meters away, her body turned and her right leg lifted slightly.

"Since you've already decided to be vice president, then I'm not going to hide it anymore." Meiko decided to confess and lowered her leg.

"Hide what?" I asked.

"My real goal for being student council president," she said with her intimidating grin still on her face. "I want to be number one." She pointed at herself. "I'm already number one at fighting. Now this time, I want to be number one in this area."

"What…" I was dumbfounded by her statement. Don't tell me… our school had another ex-delinquent!?

"So now what? Did you decide to give up and become my subordinate?" she asked.

I snorted at her assumption. "If I knock you down, doesn't that mean you're not the best at fighting?" My blood was starting to boil with excitement now. "And then, you'll let go of that president seat!?" I didn't wait for her to answer, and quickly closed the distance between us. Her eyes widened by my sudden advance, however, I didn't allow her to get away and thrust my fist towards her jaw.

"Heh." She let out a chuckle. Before my fist could make contact, she leaned her head back just enough to dodge it. "I guess I'll have to discipline you…" She didn't waste the opening that was presented to her and punched me in the gut. "Until you've realized my true potential!" After I staggered a few steps back, she landed a kick on my side and was able to successfully knock me down onto the ground.

"Guh…" I groaned as I pushed myself up. My body was aching, but the thrill was more overwhelming. I couldn't remember the last time I fought a formidable opponent.

"I didn't think you would get up after that." Meiko gave me a fascinated look.

"I'm just getting riled u-." I was about to go on the offense again, but was cut off by a loud voice.

"Len!" I heard Rin's voice from behind Meiko.

"Huh?" Meiko turned around to see who it was. "Kagami Ri-?!"

The next thing I knew something was sent flying past me. All I could recall was the heavy thud against a tree behind me and the rustling of bushes following after.

"Len, I was looking all over for you!" Rin came running up to me with a large piece of paper in hand.

"What just happened…?" I asked, still bewildered by what had occurred. "Did you come out of nowhere and do a flying kick on that girl?"

"I did…? I don't see anyone." Rin surveyed the area, but there was no one around us in sight. It was probably because of the fact that Meiko was somewhere in the bushes now. "I really wanted to show you this, so I wasn't really paying attention to anything else." She shrugged. I'm not sure if she was playing dumb or really was that oblivious.

"So… what was it that you wanted to show me?" I asked, wondering why she was looking for me so desperately.

"Oh yeah, after you left we started working on campaign posters, so I could compete against Sakine," she told me.

Yeah… that Sakine girl is in the bush behind me… I took a small glance behind myself. Seeing that she still hasn't gotten up yet, she must have still been in a daze.

"What do you think?" Rin lifted up a large poster for me to see.

"Er…" I couldn't find the right words to explain it. The image on the poster was a rather crude drawing of what I thought was an apple. I wouldn't say much if it had something more to it, but that single apple and Rin's name was all that was on the poster. "Is this supposed to be an apple?" I asked in confirmation.

"Nope, it's an orange! Now help me find a good place to hang this up." She said and started walking back into school.

"W-wait, you're actually going to hang that up?" I shouted after her.

In the end, Rin never found out that she had knocked out her opponent in the election.

…

A few days later an assembly was held for the candidates, so that they could give a speech to try and gain more votes, in this case, only the candidates for the student council president. However, Meiko's announcement changed all of this. She stood at the microphone in the center of the stage.

"Number one… that sort of thing is ridiculous; all that is, is to limit one's possibilities of accelerating upwards. Therefore I'll be taking the position of vice president rather than president," Meiko declared and left the stage.

Immediately after there was a discussion between the teachers on whether there should be an election for vice president instead, but they concluded that having multiple vice presidents wouldn't be such a bad idea. Having multiple presidents would have been a problem, but vice presidents would be okay. They were more delighted by the fact that so many students willingly wanted to be part of the student council this year. I let out a sigh of relief once I heard the news, because I was certain I would have lost the election then.

Afterwards, since there was no need for the election now, the principal decided to have both president and vice president give a speech. The vice president was up first, but since Meiko had already gave her speech earlier, I was the only one required to now.

Once I was on the stage and stood in front of the microphone, I wasn't exactly 'welcomed'.

"Hey, Kagamine! Even if you do become part of the student council, you're not going to be popular!" one of the delinquents of the school shouted.

"You're gonna suck!" another one added in.

I felt a vein pop on my forehead. "Screw you guys! You think I wanted to do this shit?!" I yelled back and marked the end of my speech by dropping the mic. "Done," I stated and left the stage. I probably shouldn't let my delinquent side out so much, but I couldn't help it.

After I was off the stage Rin stepped onto it. Everyone went silent as they waited for their new student council president to make her speech. I couldn't tell from here, but she must have been nervous; she was now the representative of the entire student body.

She cleared her throat and looked at the students firmly. "I'll do my best!" she declared and started walking off the stage. "Finished."

Everyone practically fell off their seats in reaction. That's it?! You'd expect something more impressive from someone who became the student council president, but now that I think about it, Rin probably doesn't even know what to say.

…

The assembly ended shortly after and we were now officially part of the student council, underneath the teachers, and above the students. Even if our initial reason for joining the student council was to keep a club from disbanding, we will also have to assist and plan for other school activities from now on. I'm not sure what's going to happen to our school with Rin as our president, but we'll be there to support her. I'll have to do twice the amount since I'm vice president, but I'm still wary about Meiko. I don't know her that well, and the incident behind the school a few days back isn't helping me lighten up to her. However, she did give up the president spot to Rin, so she mustn't be that bad of a person. Nevertheless, if she does try something, I'll be there to do something about it.

"Oh! And by the way, Len almost didn't get the job!" Rin said, and presented the poll result to us.

Len for vice president
For: 362
Against: 354

"Wait, why are you making this public!?" I shouted at her.

My life was going to get much more hectic from now on.

CHAPTER END

A/N – This was officially the hardest chapter to write. Trying to decide on who the second vice president was going to be, was probably the most difficult thing ever for me. The choice between Mikuo and Meiko was pretty tough to decide on, but after a long period of thought, I was able to think up a role that would fit Mikuo perfectly, so I decided go with Meiko. Also one of the main reasons I decided to use Meiko was because she doesn't receive that much attention in other fanfictions I've read. Her personality in this may be a bit different compared to what people are usually used to, but this is sort of how I imagined Meiko's character as, so I hope you guys aren't too upset about it. Ohright, I figured some of you might be curious on why Meiko backed down from the president spot, so I'll explain it slightly here. She sees Rin as someone 'worthy' since she was able to kick her away so far. I'll probably forget to explain the reason in future chapters, so you'll have to do with this.

I have some bad news to tell you guys. I'll probably be updating much slower now. I don't think I'll be able to update every day like before. I will still try to update as fast as I can, but I'm at the period where I get writer's block frequently, so don't expect it to be that fast.

Oh, and on a side note; I'm sincerely sorry that there was no fluff or anything close to fluff in this chapter D: This chapter was a bit too serious to write any. So… yeah ;

I also found out that several people were confused about my gender. I AM a guy. I don't know why people assume I'm a girl, so yeah, cleared up that misunderstanding for you.

Proofreaders! That live in my time zone! I still need them! Pm me! Short sentences! Yeah!
No proofreaders for this chapter, so fix my mistakes if you can~

Review the reviews

PandaPuppet – 'like an anime' as in my story is similar to an anime you've watched before, or the story feels like an anime; story wise?

Guest- I'm not sure how you differentiate between a girl's style in writing and a guy's, but yes, I am a guy.

Mitsu – Yup, but some people still hate/fear him 8D

Jessi-chan9867 – The whole 'triangle relationship' idea, is something I do plan to add to the story later on. But right now, I think I'm a bit busy writing story progression and trying to introduce new characters. But yeah, you can expect something like that later on.

DualStarduster – Every time I get caught while on the computer late, I usually can't get on the computer the next day… so yeah, sucks for me ;

xKireyy – Thanks! I try my best c:

Troubled Windchimes – PM already sent, Chime-chan.

I3Len – Does that mean Len is her owner…? 8D Not much 'head over heels' in this chapter, but I hope you still enjoyed it~

Adorable Reader – I'm still not sure on how I'm going to introduce her past to the story, so I'll still need some time to think of an idea. Uhm… my character as in my own real life personality? If so, then no. Len's character was basically an idea I had when I was thinking of a new story to write. When I first had the idea, it came off as interesting to me, and as I started writing more about it, this story happened. In real life, I'm not really sure about my personality since I live in Korea. I'm more comfortable speaking English but I'm forced to speak in Korean, so I prefer to stay silent because I usually mess up when speaking. However, when I'm skyping with my friends in the U.S, I'm usually talking a lot and messing around. So… my personality differs… wow this seems off topic now. Anyways, I hope I was able to answer your question somewhere in that.
