Hiya guys~
I'm back with another chapter!
2 Good news to share at the end of the story~
Everybody's Secrets
Chapter 11, Piko
Miku
"What are you doing, standing there like that? You're supposed to wait for me inside." A cold voice said behind me.
"P…Piko san!" I turned around to greet him and tagged along when he strutted into the Big building.
"About that day, I'm so so-" Why was I apologizing to this jerk? He was the one who was in the wrong.
But since he's going to be my Photographer for Leek Beats, I should try to be nice.
"W-why are you wearing a school uniform?" I asked, trying to break the silence.
"I'm a Third year in High school." He answered snappishly.
I nodded and looked at him closely again, his clothing was wet. Oh that's right.
The school he is attending is in Nagasaki, the news had said it was going to rain today.
"D-didn't you buy a umbrella? It only cost 500 yen…" I asked.
"I can use 500 yen to buy a Fruit Caramel Au Lait at Denny's." ((Denny's is a café near my house… It sells awesome French and Japanese dessert!))
"They're good, their raspberries are sweet." He added, holding the Lift for me.
"Umm… Why did you request yourself for our CD photoshoot? Even though I did all that to you…" My voice drifted away.
"I don't know. Maybe because you were the first to do something like that to me." He replied.
"We're here." He beckoned and I followed. "And the face you made, it was beautiful." He exasperated.
Me? Beautiful? I was never told that before.
My parents had never said this words to me before, come to think of it, I was always in My onichan's Shadow.
I was overpowered by him, he was the center of attention.
He was the one who had made me invisible.
Still, even if Piko wanted beautiful, he could have choose Len, Len was pretty.
He was beautiful to say the least, even though he was a guy.
So why me?
ARGH! That sadistic person is taking up all my thoughts! Must. Forget. Him. And. CONCERNTRATE!
I tried my best, after all the flash shooting and clicking of the camera, Piko's assistant was talking to him.
"Piko… Why did you choose her? She looks… Terrible…" He whispered.
"Miku, what were you thinking about during the shoot?" Piko walked over to ask me.
"Nothing! Nobody!" I hugged my legs to my chest, Saying it was Len is crazy!
"You need to distance yourself from Len." Piko said coolly.
"H-huh?" I looked up at him.
"You were always with her all the time, it's obvious you would think about her." He says.
"Get away from Len for a change, this photo shoot is only about you. It's not like your Helpless without Len." He said.
Len
"I said I'm still like a girl with or without Miku~" I said in my chipmunk-like voice.
"That's it, we're taking you off the Album CD where you'll be having pair pictures with Miku." Meiko picked up the phone and dialed a number, "Hello, Boom agency? We have Len ready for you for a new Duet with Gumi." She said.
"Think of it as a vacation, I'm doing a good deed." She laughed.
"Just you wait you old hag, I'll prove you wrong." I glared at her and stormed off.
"Why isn't this put up yet?" I threw the poster around, "The carnival is starting! Put it up now!" I yelled.
Being the school's president is damned, I sighed and walked to the shoe rack, seeing Miku walking over to me.
"You're late, you punk! I told you 4:00! It's 4:02 now!" I grabbed her hair.
"I-I thought we could have some distance between ourselves…" She walked further and further away from me.
"You idiot, Miku! We're going now!" I dragged her hand and walked over to the school gate.
"I-I-I-I-I-I'm serious!" She stuttered.
"Just because we have the same job doesn't mean we need to walk together to work! If I keep some distance between our relationship, I can take more beautiful pictures and sing better songs…" She cried.
"Is Piko putting stupid things in your head again?" I glared at her, "Let's be realistic Miku, no one would EVER say you're pretty!" I said turning around and walking away.
Miku
True, no one would ever say I'm pretty, but I was always treating like it was nothing.
But why, when Len says that, my heart aches? I want him to say I'm beautiful.
Somehow, I want him to take back what he says. I want to hear the word beautiful coming from his mouth.
"S-stop," Len opened his mouth, 'STOP LOOKING THIS CUTE!" he knocked me out with his 'Spice punch'.
"Underlings! That's why we owners should do everything ourselves!" he cussed in the air.
D-did he just say I was cute?
"Is too~" Len said, going back to his girlish side.
"Is not!" I yelled back.
"I'm pretty sure that all photos taken yesterday were horrible~" He giggled.
"It wasn't!" I replied, "P-piko san even complimented me!"
"it's like without Len I can do my best!" I saw lying through my teeth, dear God, Please don't punish me. I just wanted to get back at this bastard.
"it's easier! And more fun then being with Len!" I screamed.
"C-can you guys kindly hold hands? Even if just for a minute…" A sweat-drop was appearing on the producer's forehead.
Len and I were supposed to film a music video for "Rolling Girl."
"Because I'm tied by Len I want to be-" Len's cold touch melted my whole hand, his fingers were wrapped around mine and he gave me a look that say, 'let's-just-got-this-over-with".
"Good work everyone! A 10 Minutes break!" The producer gave us a thumbs up and Len walked away.
Alice (A/N: Alice is my Pen-Name, so it's like 3rd person P.O.V.)
Len took his handphone and dialed Meiko's number, "Meiko? The job you talked about? I'll take it.I'll go to LA to sing the duet. I'll go wherever you want." He said.
"Sure, Len. You'll set off tomorrow, I have booked a 10 days schedule for you." Meiko replied.
10 days, the 10 days before a storm.
