Chapter 10
[Music Room]
Rin's P.O.V
"Rin! Are you there?" "Rinny-chan!" "Rin! Wait for me" "Where did Rin go?" . I can't take it anymore! This is too much, he's too clingy. "Stop it!" I shouted on his face. "W-why? Stop from doing what?" Len said staring at me innocently. This is one of his biggest talents that is stares into someone's eyes and melt them. "Could you please leave me alone? You're too clingy! It's annoying!" I said clearly with a wide and meaningful smile on my face.
I took my lunchbox and walked away. "If that's what you want, Rin." He said with a very low tone. This is fun and more relaxing. To know that he gave up that easily, not bothering to even chase me like old times makes me overly happy. Just imagine, you want to avoid a certain someone but ended up with that certain someone is sticking on to you.
"Rin!" a sweet voice called me. I turned my head to see a tall, beautiful, pink-haired girl looking at me. "Luka-chan!" I said a little excited. Luka is one of my new best friend but still, there is not even one of my best friends can replace Gumi. The selfless, brave, strong, fun, understanding and loyal Gumi is something that I can't replace. None of them could beat Gumi in my heart. Even though we are far away from each other, we still keep on contacting each other. She never ignores me even once.
"Let's eat with us at the usual bench today." Luka invited me. Behind her, a boy with purple, silky, long hair is smiling at us. That is Gakupo and he is Luka's new boyfriend. They have been an item for a month I think. "I'm sorry but I really want to go to the music room." I apologized on rejecting them.
Luka smiled and shake her head in respond. "Well, it's not a big deal! Have fun, Rin!" Luka said. "Bye Luka. Next time I'll eat with you. Don't bring that guy with you. I said jokingly while pointing my index finger to Gakupo. "Why am I uninvited?" Gakupo said with his puppy face. "It's a private talk between us, you dummy! Let's go! Bye!" Luka said while taking Gakupo's hand in hers and walked away.
I open the door knob to see the piano. I felt excited as my fingers touched the frame of the piano. I placed my lunch box on a table nearby and sat on the piano's bench. My itchy fingers that have been craving to play the piano started to dance on the notes. I played my favourite song that is 'Magnet'. I assume that all of us know why it became a favourite song of mine.
This song is about a sinful and forbidden love. They can't love even if the do love each other because they just shouldn't. This is how I feel for now. I feel like it is wrong for me to love my own best friend who really appreciates our friendship. It's forbidden for a girl who is on-sided love like me. Even though I knew he likes someone else from the start, I still have my hopes up high.
Without realizing, I started to sing along with the music that I have created. I dissolved in my own world for a moment. "Yeah Rin, your voice 'really sucks'." a voice echoed in my head. All of the memories from the past came to haunt me on that second and made my fist punched the piano that it makes a terrifying sound. Without knowing, that terrifying sound had awoken someone from his deep slumber.
"I need to stop this! Stop loving you!" I screamed my heart out. I felt distressed and laid my head on the piano. "Stop loving? That's interesting." I heard a deep voice from the back of the music room. I didn't bother to look and closed my awfully tire eyes. The sound of his foot step became closer every second. I ignored it.
A tapping sound on the wooden piano made me look up to see the source of the sound. A blonde guy with dark blue eyes is staring at me. His features is the same as me and Len. He even had black hair clips on his hair that seem similar as mine. Our difference is my bow and his boyish looks. Why am I being surround by humans that look exactly the same as me.
"If I'm not mistaken, you're the weird Rin Akita." The boy said. "You don't need to introduce me in an annoying way." I said annoyed. How dare this boy say I am weird. He's the weird one for suddenly appearing out of nowhere. "Just making sure it's you. Well then, need help?" he said with a smile. "Help? What kind of help? What are you talking about? Who are you anyway? It seems like it's just you that know me." I said to him.
"You don't know me? That's rude! We have been classmates for the past 6 months. I'm Rinto. What kind of help you ask? Help with that unrequited love of yours or something." The guy called himself Rinto said. I still didn't recognize him until I remembered the name that is always absent in my class. Rinto. What? It's his fault for always ditching class that I don't recognize him. I kind of didn't even know of his existence. Wait. Why is he here? Shouldn't he be ditching class and be somewhere else? Whatever.
"Why would you help?" I asked him full of curiosity. "I love making deals. It gives me great rewards!" Rinto said with a mysterious smile. "How will you help me?" I asked him again. Seriously, it's not that easy to make someone forget her or his first love. I've tried for seven years in total now and it's still the same. "Simple! Make you forget everything about him with my own ways! Deal Rinny?" Rinto said stretching out his hand for a handshake.
I doubted him as I barely know him. "Are you sure you're a PRO in this kind of thing?" I said. "It's not that I don't want to make a deal with you but I am not sure if you are able to do this." I said. Rinto smiled and said, "You won't regret anything. Believe me." He said with a calm face that made me kind of believe in him. 'Let's give it a try. There's nothing to lose right?' I said to myself.
"Are you preying on money? I'm not rich so I can't reward you with money." I said to him to make it clear. "I'm not a materialistic guy. I will ask you for my reward only if I succeed." Rinto said confidently. "Deal!" I said sand smiled at him. His extended hands was brought to his hips and inside his pocket. "Just grant me one wish and that is fine." He said again.
He walked out of the music room grinning for nothing. That is something new. A deal huh? It sounds great but would it turn out to be great? I hope so. Goodbye, Len Kagamine.
sorry for the long wait!~
ENJOY!~
