Am I updating fast enough? D: I just finished my first semester of World History, three more weeks to go. And I just got a new computer, so here's to writing fanfics in bed and other areas around the house that aren't anywhere near my table! Okay, but that's besides the point. I THINK there will be a few more chapters (planning on around 3-5? Who knows how long that'll take). It's been a while since I started this fanfiction, and I can't believe I'm still writing it. But that's a good thing. Anyway, read on and leave criticism, reviews, whatever! Thanks for your support!

"That's the third time this week!"

The teacher shrieked with rage, and Rin looked to her left, but the pile of messy yellow hair did not lift from the table. She smiled. The new kid Oliver was - to be bluntly put - amazing. Since he'd appeared in her third period class, everything had become more bearable. Did she really have a... crush on him? Even she wasn't sure. There was this feeling of guilt stirring inside her. Am I doing this because I like him, or is because I'm trying to forget Len?

Speaking of Len, he was doing dashingly. The dance had passed by last week, and of course Rin hadn't gone. It was alright; she and Luka had a movie marathon until the early hours of the morning, gossiping and shoving ungodly amounts of popcorn into their mouths. And that's the way she would have rather had it. Looking at Len brought back unpleasant thoughts, and she knew that she'd be much better off without him.

And Oliver, well... he's like Len v. 2.0. Rin didn't know how she'd thought of that, but it sounded like a good way to prove his worth. He was tall, his hair was extremely messy, and he always had this confident smile on his face. They had talked once or twice. And the best part was that he sat next to her, and would occasionally lift his head up to ask her what was going on in class. Now was one of those instances.

"Hey, Kagamine," he muttered, finally taking his head off his folded arms. "What're we doing?"

Oh, jesus. "Uhh..." she pointed meekly at the teacher and smiled sheepishly. "Yeah... sorry."

"Detention, Oliver." The teacher pursed her lips and continued to teach the lesson.

He turned to Rin and laughed assuredly. "It's alright, I always get in trouble for these kinds of things."

"Oh... nice?" Quick, stop being so awkward! Her words were stuck in her throat.

"Hey, I was wondering," he continued, running a hand through his hair, "Could we exchange numbers or something? 'Cause I never remember what the homework is..."

HE'S ASKING FOR YOUR NUMBER, WOMAN.

"Well... you could IM me too, since my phone isn't really good for texting..." It was true though, her phone was horrible, and she was too lazy to get an upgrade.

"Sure," he smiled, "Uh, I'll find you on Facebook?"

"Yeah, sounds like a plan."

"Great."

"Can I have your number anyway?"

She was screaming inside. This is the start of something, oh god, oh god, oh god. "Alright." She tore off a piece of paper and scribbled her number on it, then passed it over to his desk.

"Thanks, I'll call you later today."

The teacher turned around and scowled. "Kagamine, if you don't stop talking to Oliver, then I'll be seeing both of you in detention this Friday."

After she had returned to writing the lesson on the chalkboard, they turned to each other and shared a smile.

"Three weeks left!" Miku added another few X's to her calendar with the turquoise sharpie. "I'm stoked. Wonder what we'll be performing this time?"

"Hopefully something good, I didn't exactly like the songs last year." Rin wasn't good at songwriting - the words would come to her, and as she tried to write them out, they'd fade and turn into a puddle of goop.

"Mine were fine, I guess." Miku smiled. "I'm really looking forward to duets with Kai though." Rin didn't get why she had bothered not saying his full name. Pet names. What would she call Oliver? Oli? No, that seemed ridiculous. Stop thinking that far ahead, all he asked for was your number...

"So, are you going to be alright with... you know who?" Miku broke her thoughts.

"I guess." Rin shrugged, going over to the pantry and taking out a stack of Oreos. "I don't really care about him... I think I've kinda moved on."

"That's good, to who?" Miku set down her sharpie and asked.

"This kid, his name's Oliver..." Rin began to explain him, stumbling over her words. "And he asked for my number today," she finished.

Miku nodded. "Good job, he sounds like less of an ass then Len."

"I guess."

"Hey, you have to admit that he's being a total jerk to you. He's ignoring you, he's infatuated with another girl, and he isn't even bothering to say sorry."

"The thing is, I figured," Rin began, "I shouldn't complain so much. Because we didn't even have something together."

"No, I'm pretty sure he did like you. He was just too shy, and so were you."

"No proof."

"Kaito."

Rin sighed. "You can't be serious..."

"I am," Miku said defiantly. "And there might be second chances. So don't give up hope so quickly. Even if he's with Lily. You can like this Oliver guy all you want, but just listen to what your head tells you and don't get wrapped up in this business too much."

"Sure." Rin replied, and opened the bag of Oreos. "I'll consider it, but for now, I'm going to take a nap."

"Alright," Miku got off the bed. "Going over to Gumi's dorm, she's sick, and Luka's out this week."

"Have fun." Rin pulled apart an Oreo and licked the icing off.

"I will."

The door shut, and Rin lay on the bed munching on the cookie. The room was silent for a few seconds, and then her phone rang. "Unknown number," the caller ID said. She picked it up.

"Hello? Who's this?"

"Hey, this is Oliver."

"Oh, hey." She swallowed the remaining bits of her cookie and grinned.

"You free?"

"Yeah."

"So... what's up?"

"Well..." She began, and from there, she hoped that she would never run out of things to tell him.

"Len, are you alright?"

She asked attentively, her voice sweet and soft like rose petals.

"I'm fine."

They were sitting together on a bench on the campus park. Lily swept back her lustrous hair and flashed a bright grin at him. "Just checking." He smiled back at her. She put her head on his shoulder. "I love being with you..."

Len looked ahead. A lot had been on his mind. Yes, Lily was his supposed girlfriend. Yes, he did like her. Yes, he was happy. And Rin? She's fine on her own. He had seen her talking to the new guy - was it Oliver? - during passing periods. She's alright. She's doing well without me. I left because she didn't know I loved her. I couldn't tell her. And now, we're both taken, or so it appears. But... could I have been happier?

"Len?" Lily looked up at him. "Don't you love being with me, too?"

What's done is done, and now I'm content.

"Yes," he sighed. "Yes, I do."

He supposed it wasn't really a lie.
