True Harmony

Chapter 11

The next day at school, a beautiful girl walked in and definitely got the attention of quite a number of guys. Her outfit was outrageously exciting, with her sporting a leather jacket, a white T-shirt that was mildly formfitting, a pair of black pants that matched the jacket, and a pair of boots that had an indiscernible length as her legs were indeed covered by the pants, even though they were rather tight. She got quite a few whistles from the guys around the crowds, and she was relenting at these compliments. Obviously she rarely dresses like this, or else she wouldn't be reacting like this. She went to her locker, went upstairs, and made her way to find her friends. She knew where she was going, as they hang out in that hallway all the time.

Meanwhile, Rick, Allen, Levi, and I were in a heated debate about a very important topic. We constantly had our squabbles, but this time we were really going at it!

"And that's why I say that corn chips are better than potato chips!" I stated.

"Bullshit! You know it's impossible to eat just one!" Levi retorted. "Besides, the flavors of potato chips are what really set them apart!"

"Um, guys…" Rick said, perhaps noticing something.

"Oh yeah, but tortilla chips have to be the best!" Allen added. "They're thick, salty, and awesome for dipping! Who wouldn't like them?"

"I do like tortilla chips." I conceded. "I'll stand by my point that corn chips are the best! Plenty of flavor and crunch, so they're perfect for the munchies!"

"Um, guys!" Rick said again, now certain that he sees something interesting.

"Yeah, but what about Pringles?" Levi continued.

"Oh those don't even count in this argument!" Allen argued.

"Yeah! They're potato crisps, not chips." I added. "Chips and crisps are two totally different things!"

"GUYS!" Rick yelled attempting to get our attention, and succeeding.

"WHAT?!" The three of us yelled in unison. We then heard a familiar voice that made my heart jump.

"Hey there, guys! What's up?" I recognized the voice as Miku right away. I turned to her to return the greeting.

"I know that voice anywhere! Hey Mikuuuu…" My voice trailed off as my eyes were met with a surprising sight! Miku was dressed completely differently then how she usually does. She had a leather jacket, a white T-shirt… a pair of… black skinny jeans… and high heel… boots… Wait, that girl from the beginning was MIKU?! HOLY SHIT! We all looked upon her.

"Oh my God!" Rick said slowly.

"Heh, not too bad." Allen added, seeming the most confident out of all of us. Now that I thought about it, the outfit Miku was wearing struck a resemblance to Allen's usual look. Perhaps he was flattered there?

"Uh…" Levi just stood there speechless and absolutely stunned.

"Well, I'm glad you all seem to like my new outfit." Miku said with a giggle. How a girl with such a sexy looking outfit can still seem so innocent is something I'll never quite understand. I'm not even going to deny it this time; Miku looked freaking HOT! The leather sort of made me think of a certain anime that I honestly haven't seen yet, but I know that Miku constantly gets mistaken for the character. She was sort of flaunting the outfit a bit to show us the whole package. I suddenly was at a complete loss for words. Levi was the first to speak up.

"Uh, if you guys will excuse me, I think I gotta use the bathroom." He seemed weak.

"Sheesh, Levi, she looks great." I said to him. "You aren't going to throw up about it, are you?" A guy throwing up at the sight of a hot girl… that's some serious DNA² shit right there…

"Well no, but um, I kinda have a little *ahem* issue down below." Somehow I was able to tell exactly what he was referring to, and I didn't like it.

"Oh dude, that's sick! Fine, take care of what you need to, but seriously calm down!" I was attempting to feel confident as Levi left to attend to his "problem" but I felt just as nervous, if not more. Suddenly I felt Allen smack me on the back in a friendly gesture.

"Way to go, GC." He said with a mild snark to his tone. "Getting your girlfriend to dress all hot for you? You got some game, man!" My face erupted in a serious blood rush. I think I saw Miku jump a little bit as well.

"SHE'S NOT MY GIRLFRIEND!" I calmly reminded him. "And I didn't make her do this! Do you honestly think I would stoop this low?!"

"Well, I mean, you haven't been in the game for a while, so naturally you'd-"

"HEY! Shut up!" Allen busted out laughing at my embarrassment. "Like I said, I had no hand in this matter."

"Whatever, man. Well I better get to class. The teacher's gonna go ape shit on me if I'm late again. Peace." Allen started walking but stopped to make one last comment on Miku's outfit. "Seriously, you look great. I like the use of leather." With that he left after Miku thanked him.

"You know, I kind of need to get to homeroom, too." Rick said slyly. "I have a bit of homework that I put off until today, so I better get it done while I still can." I grabbed Rick by his collar before he could walk away.

"Dude, please don't leave me alone with her." I whispered to Rick, not wanting Miku to hear me.

"Relax, GC. You'll be fine." He walked into the classroom with a smirk. I could swear I heard him chuckle a bit when he left.

"I hate you. I hate all of you." I said under my breath. I then turned to Miku, and immediately my ability to speak disappeared.

"Well, I guess it's just you and me for now, huh?" Miku asked. "I hope I didn't surprise you too much." I was still unable to speak. "You know, I had a lot of fun with your friends yesterday. They're so nice! Thank you for bringing me over to Stacy's house." Once again, my vocal prowess was long gone. I just couldn't stop looking at it all. Miku suddenly took notice. "You really seem to like my new clothes, GC. What do you actually think of them?"

I was able to force one word out. "…Amazing." Miku smiled, and soon I was able to regain a bit of my composure. "…So uh, where did you get this outfit anyway?" I finally asked.

"Well, Stacy made it for me. While you and Rick were downstairs, Stacy offered to make me this outfit. At first I was a bit opposed to it, but now that I'm in it, I really like it. I see why Allen likes to wear it so often." Miku laughed. I tried to laugh too, but I was too overcome to make anything happen.

"Okay, so why exactly are you wearing it?" I asked the other question on my mind.

"I mainly wanted to wear it so Stacy would be happy, but now I really enjoy it. It's really cute, don't you think?" Miku asked with a smile.

"I have many different descriptions for that outfit, but 'cute' doesn't immediately come to mind." I admitted. I meant nothing negative by this, for the record.

"Why? What's wrong with it?"

"How did you get to be able to wear that in school? It's rather, uh, revealing don't you think?" I was concerned.

"It's less revealing than you think, GC."

"Tight T-shirt, skinny jeans, boots that I can't tell the length of… yeah they don't seem formfitting at all." I rolled my eyes.

"It's actually very comfy, and I did end up going to the office for a little bit to make sure if I could wear it. They were alright with it as it shows nothing inappropriate, so everything is fine with it, GC."

"I just don't want you to get in trouble because of this, you know? I worry about you."

"There's nothing for you to worry about with it. By the way, you're talking a lot better now. What was wrong?"

"The shock of the outfit and seeing you in it made me lose my head for a second."

"Is it really that bad?" Miku seemed worried.

"No way. Y-you look amazing." I choked a bit as I spoke.

"Aw, thank you, GC. I'm really glad you like it." She then came up to me and gave me a hug. This time felt way different from the last times I hugged her. Seeing her in these very exciting clothes made it almost feel like it was a different person hugging me; it was so weird. I guess clothes really do make the man, or in this case, it makes the woman.

"Uh…" I was stunned once again. I didn't want to try hugging her this time. Seriously, the outfit was so formfitting; it was almost like hugging someone that was naked. Yeah I was nervous about the whole thing. It was a side of Miku I never expected to see with my own eyes, and I wasn't certain if I liked it. I just stood there in her grip in a nervous sweat.

"Hey, it's okay. You know you can hug me, right?" Miku reassured me.

"It didn't really cross my mind." I squeaked.

"GC, you're so silly." Miku laughed. Somehow that made it harder to hug her. Soon I found my courage to put my arms around her, but not really squeeze tightly. I think it was looser than the first time we hugged. It was enough to satisfy Miku, though. We released and then we prepared for class to begin once again.

"You don't honestly need my help again today, do you?" I asked her, hoping she would allow me off the hook this time. It was nothing against her, but I just can't handle seeing her in such a sexy get-up. "I think I showed you around enough for now."

"I don't know." Miku said, smirking. "I think I still need a little help for today. With all these different classes and rooms I have to remember, I think I need you to keep me on the right track."

"Oh well, alright. I'll be happy to help you out again." I was sort of lying. I have to be taunted by Miku's sexy clothes for the rest of the day. I knew that Miku was nice enough to show someone some compassion for their work and wear it for them, but this suit didn't feel like her in a way. Why was she really wearing it? Why did she care so much about my opinion of it? Why does it feel like I'm being teased? Is she actually teasing me? I know I ask this a lot, but what the hell goes on through her mind?

Miku Hatsune is definitely one of the most mysterious girls I've ever met.
