Len POV
Rin was already seated when I got to the bench.
"Any idea what we're doing in math?" I questioned.
She was so spacey that she wasn't even looking at me, but instead, the Sakura tree, a dazed look in her eyes.
"Rin."
I shook her.
"Huh? Oh, right. Um, what were we talking about?"
I chuckled, slightly worried about her.
"You weren't talking; I was."
She smiled, a thin smile that vanished quickly and didn't reach her eyes.
I was gonna kill Miku.
"Rin. Today, we're working on exponents."
She nodded, looking bored.
"Exponents are..."
I tried to look Rin directly in her eyes, but it wasn't easy, seeing as I had to look down all the time at the book. I could see her getting more and more frustrated, and I tried helplessly to calm her down. Finally, Rin picked up her work, crumpled it up, and threw it on the sidewalk.
"That's FREAKING IT! I can't TAKE IT anymore!" She screamed, shoving the book off the table. She was never like this.
"Rin! Stop!" I locked her face between my palms. "What's wrong with you today?"
She snapped. Sitting on the bench, she burst into tears.
Oh, Rin, what's wrong?
I sat next to her. She leaned her head on my shoulder and cried. And cried. And cried. Her tiny fists clenched my jacket, her tears soaked my shoulder. I stroked her golden locks tentatively, not knowing if the girl I loved was okay.
"LENNY!"
I looked up, startled. Rin looked up, too, because of my sudden movement. She followed my eyes to see...
Mom.
Oh. Dear. God.
I got to my feet, hastily brushed Rin's tears away (I didn't want Mom thinking weird stuff) and pulled her towards my mom.
"Mom!" She tackled me in a bear hug, squealing like a crazy fangirl.
"Lenny-kins!" She cooed. I halfheartedly hugged her back, and then disentangled myself.
"Mom, meet Rin." I pointed at her.
"Hi, Rin." My mom said happily. Rin smiled sweetly. "Hello, Mrs. Kagamine."
My mom frowned. "Just Lola, dear..."
"Okay, hello Lola."
"So, um..." Mom hesitated. "You're deaf, right?"
"Yes." Rin nodded.
"Well, I got you two something special!" Mom rummaged in her huge purse. Rin frowned, and looked at me for interpretation.
"She got you something."
"Oh!"
Mom brought out a book. How to get Relationships Going. Rin and I blushed furiously. Mom grinned.
"MO-OM!"
Mom ruffled my hair. "Mwa ha ha ha..." She laughed evilly. Then she turned to Rin. "May I meet your father, sweetheart?"
Rin turned pale.
"Wh-What?"
I placed my hand on her shoulder, and made her look at me.
"Don't worry, Rin. My mom works magic."
She shut her eyes; her voice was trembling. "No. I don't want either of you to get hurt."
Mom squeezed Rin's hand. Her eyes flew open. "It's okay, dear." She turned to me. "Len, I brought adoption papers... just in case."
ADOPTION.
I almost fainted.
"Fine... I'll take you to see him." Rin said numbly. "But... I swear... if he hurts either of you..."
She led the way to her house.
As soon as she knocked the door, it flew open.
"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?" Her dad grabbed her collar and hoisted her like a rag doll. Mom gasped.
"We have visitors." Rin said in a steely voice.
Her dad's eyes widened and he let her down roughly.
I gulped.
