~*Mystery P.O.V*~
I sat here waiting impatiently for the picture of Rin to upload on the school's website. I drummed my fingers on the desk, my nails making a taping noise each time it hit the wood. Once the little sign of the laptop came saying that the upload was complete, I grinned evilly. Stupid Rin, for being so pretty. Rin had always been cute ever since I could remember, but now she was flat out beautiful Her hair was longer and she was taller now, the same height as Hatsune Miku. Rin had that creamy looking skin that never tanned even if she was outside for hours and had no acne. Her golden hair was a shade lighter, looking like the color of a yellow rose rather than her normal gold and honey color. She had boobs almost bigger than Miku's as well! I gritted my teeth in anger and slammed my fist on the keyboard, causing many pop-ups to appear on the laptop's screen. I was going to make Rin pay for catching his attention when I would anything for it. I wanted Len's attention and I wanted it all for myself.
I would have Len.
~*Len's P.O.V*~
I watched from the shadows as Rin stood up on her tippy-toes and kissed Mikuo. I wanted to go up and punch Mikuo right now, seeing she was content with the kiss, but I still saw the hollow look in her eyes. I cringed at the look and I wanted to be the one comforting her like I used to. I saw Taito come up and say something to Rin. For a moment, Rin gave him a confused look. I wanted to find out what he said to give her that look, but he walked away. I ducked my head away once I saw Mikuo kiss Rin's neck and I hissed as he kept his lips on there and the fact Rin didn't push him off. Rin was so innocent at times that it broke your heart to see guys giving her looks that said, "I want you in my bed." Mikuo began to write music on a stand while Rin went off to sit with her friends in a corner. I saw my chance to go talk to her, but I noticed the blank expression one her face, even as Gumi and Teto were trying to get her attention. Miku just sat there with a sad and worried expression on her face. I gave up and walked out of the music room, deciding to go to the doughnut restaurant across the street. I walked in and smelled the pungent fragrance of coffee mixed in with doughnuts and I felt my tummy growl. The nice old lady was working in the kitchen and was rolling dough. She looked up once she heard the door open and smiled at me.
"Good morning Len-chan! It's so nice to see you, how's your family?" She asked me and I smiled back at her.
"Good morning Mrs. Woe! It's great to see you to and they are doing great! Lenka is working as a waitress in a café a few blocks from here and Mom and Dad doing there thing that doctor's do. The usual." I replied and her smile deepened, causing wrinkles around her eyes. Mrs. Woe had been a neighbor of Rin and I when we were kids and Rin loved going to Mrs. Woe's house. Mrs. Woe was a nice old lady who would bake cookies and let you help and her husband Mr. Woe was a nice old man who loved to tell stories. Rin had loved them like they were her grandparents since her mom's had died before Rin was born and her father's lived to far away to visit often. Mr. and Mrs. Woe had one daughter who had died of cancer long ago. They especially loved Rin, but who didn't? Rin did kind of look like their daughter, but Nina's eyes had been a grey-blue color, while Rin's was crystal blue.
"How is Rin?" Mrs. Woe said, jolting me out of my thoughts. I felt my stomach tighten, but I kept the smile.
"She's good...she has a boyfriend named Mikuo and they are really happy together..." I told her, almost choking on the word boyfriend. Mrs. Woe smiled kindly and came out of the kitchen and rested her arms on the counter top.
"That's good, she will have to let me meet this Mikuo! I don't approve easily." She said and chuckled and I laughed.
"Oh silly me! I'm just standing here wasting your time! What would you like dear?" She asked me and put on rubber gloves and opened the glass case.
"Hmmm, how about half a dozen glazed and the rest you an decide for me? I'm not the best at picking things." I told her and she filled the box with glazed, and began to put in the ones she picked. She put in some with sprinkles, with frosting, and with fillings inside the box.
"I put in a banana-cream doughnut for you and an orange frosted one for Rin." She told me smiling and handed me the box. I pulled out my wallet and she gave me a discount.
"Tell Rin I said hello!" Mrs. Woe called and I waved at her and nodded. I realized I had an excuse to talk to Rin now. I looked down at my watch and realized I had a few minutes to spare before lunch time and then I would ambush Rin with doughnuts. I grinned at the thought of us eating sweets like we used to, laughing and smiling. I chuckled as I pictured Rin with frost on her mouth. I walked past a store and saw two necklaces hanging in the window. They were pretty simple; just a treble clef and I bass clef on a small sterling silver chain. I walked into the store and looked around, tucking the doughnut box under my left arm. It was pretty much a store that sold jewelry and clothes for both genders and I went to look at the necklaces hanging in the window. I picked them up and decided to buy them for some unknown reason. I went up to the cash register and put the two necklaces onto the desk to scan. The young girl who probably was in college smiled at me.
"Did you find everything you were looking for?" She asked with a wink and I grinned.
"Yes I did thank you." I told her and her smile widened. She scanned the items and bagged them for me.
"Thanks." I told her and I saw her slip her number into the bag and handed it to me. I walked out and headed back to school in time for lunch.
~*Rin's P.O.V*~
I was on the school roof now, deciding to let everyone go before me and eat while I sat up here, thinking of how I could try to move on in my life. My job started at five tomorrow and I guess I was somewhat excited. The wind was blowing my hair softly and I closed my eyes and breathed in deep. Half of the school day was gone and I only had an hour and a half left of school, before Gumiya would pick us girls up and carry us to Gumi's house. I almost smiled, but my face wouldn't allow me to, keeping that blank and hollow expression it wore now. I sighed and stood on the edge of the roof, peering through the chain linked fence and into the vast city of Tokyo, Japan. I leaned my head onto the fence, leaving my eyes closed. I heard a door creak open, but I didn't open my eyes or look up.
"Hey little girl want some candy?" I heard a voice trying to sound gruff, but he chuckled at the end. I opened one eye to glare at Len who was holding a box.
"Leave me alone, Len." I told him coldly and returned back to looking out the fence. We used to be able to eat up here, but some moron climbed the fence trying to be funny and fell, breaking his leg and some ribs.
"Sorry. I was trying to be funny." Len shrugged and came to stand beside me. I growled at how close he was and he glanced at me, but instead of moving away, he moved closer. We were now only a few inches apart, our arms almost touching. I scooted away from him and he scooted closer. We continued this process until I was in the corner of the fence, beside a pole that held the school's flag. I had my arms spread out beside me and I had my eyes narrowed at him. I could see the determination in his eyes that I saw earlier and no hints of doubt. He was in front of me and had the box in front of my face. I bit my lip, ready to scream assault if I couldn't get away. I remembered my fighting classes and was ready to kick him in the private area if needed. He opened the box, presenting doughnuts of various kinds, though half of the box was just glazed. I gave a "What the hell?" face and he smiled.
"One of them is orange, your favorite." He told me and smiled kindly. I saw an orange frosted one with light blue sprinkles. My stomach growled at it and I ignored it, refusing to take the doughnut. He frowned and picked it up. He held it in front of my face, trying to get me to take it. I still refused and turned my head away so that he wouldn't be able to force it in my mouth. Instead, he removed his tie and grabbed both of my wrists, tying them together. I seethed as he knotted my bound wrists to the pole.
"What the hell?" I said darkly, and instead of flinching, he smiled mischievously. I tried pulling my wrists free of the pole, but he had double knotted them. I growled, but slide down the pole to sit and I crossed my legs so that I would be somewhat comfortable. I realized that my skirt was up a little and was exposing my orange panties. I couldn't pull it down due to my situation and if I had my knees to my chin, he would only see more. I sighed in frustration and he removed his jacket and set it across my lap to cover my exposed legs and panties. I felt gratitude, but it didn't help that I would kill him when this was all said and done. He held the doughnut once more to my face, pressing it against my lips now. He was teasing me, knowing I couldn't do anything at the moment. My stomach growled again, not at all helping my situation at the moment. He smiled triumphantly and tore a piece of for me to eat. I didn't accept it and pressed my lips together firmly. He sighed and held the piece of doughnut, getting frosting on his fingers. He glanced at them and smirked. He brought up his sticky fingers to my pressed lips and traced his fingers around the edges of my mouth. I tried biting his finger, but once my mouth was open, he shoved the piece of doughnut in my mouth. I was going to spit it out, but the tantalizing flavors made me moan with hunger as I began to chew. He laughed lightly.
"I told you I got your favorite! Mrs. Woe says hi by the way." He told me and my eyebrows creased at him. Why did he go see Mrs. Woe? Oh wait, I forgot she owns the bakery across the street. I sighed and I decided to give in to eating the doughnut. He fed me piece by piece, smiling that he had won.
"I've missed this." He murmured and I looked away, feeling the dread coming back.
"..." I said nothing in response and I sat staring anywhere but his direction. I kept doing so until he twisted one of my blonde locks around his finger. He smiled at me and I felt so violated. I felt weak and I didn't like this feeling, but it had been there most of the week. He caressed my cheek lightly and I glared at him and he stopped, his hand dropping to his lap.
"Rin, please let me explain myself." He begged me and I saw the pleading in his eyes. I didn't like it, but I wasn't going to sound gentle with him.
"I don't really have much of a choice do I?" I asked coldly and he smiled a sad smile.
"Rin, I didn't mean for our friendship to become so distant and strained," He began as if unsure I would understand.
"I didn't like being called a shota and so I began to work out as you know." He continued and I was ready to bolt out of here now, to avoid this conversation.
"I did it because I saw people teasing you and I didn't like it; it made me feel like an embarrassment to you." He said sadly, causing me to look up. I felt the stinging in my eyes return.
"...why?" I whispered, my voice cracking with emotion.
"I didn't want anybody to tease you, so I worked out and became smart to stop people from bothering us, but it didn't work; it only made girls want me." He told me and wiped away the tears I hadn't noticed had fallen on my cheeks.
"I never wanted this to happen, Rin! I just wanted everyone to leave us alone, I never wanted popularity!" He said, cupping my face to look at him. I closed my eyes at his touch, the familiar feeling of his hand soothing, but I instantly cringed at the thought.
"...you can't fix it, Len, it's to late." I mumbled and his hands dropped from my face. I looked up to see the bangs of his hair covering his face.
"Why? I want to be your friend Rin, that's all I've ever wanted!" He shouted at me and I instantly flinched from the cold tone of his voice. I felt my self shaking and tears were rolling down my face.
"Please stop Len!" I said, my voice shaking. He was breathing fast and he put his hands on my shoulders. I thought he was about to shake me, but instead, he hugged me tightly. My face was in the crook of his neck and he buried his face in my hair. He un-tied my wrists and dropped his arms from body, getting up and walked towards the door that led off of the roof. He left me there, a crying mess, his tie on the ground beside my right hand.
It would never be the same.
