Well, one of her friends is an Engloid BD Yeah, I didn't use the Engloids because I wanted to use Vocaloid3. :)
I don't own anything but the plot.
Here's Rin's Apartment: freshome . com/2011/10/25/select-modern-apartment-design-by-tectus/
Note: I know there's only 3 rooms in that apartment, but I'm making it so that four of them share two (two in one room, three in another) rooms and one gets a room to HIMSELF. Yeah. That's right. WE'RE BUNKING DOWN COED STYLE. BD
"Finally!" I sighed, falling on to my bed. After spending a few years at an American college, it was refreshing to be in a Japanese college. Crypton University was just as prestigious as its high school counterpart. The dorms where amazing apartments and even the middle class had amazing dorms. The dorm design we chose for the dorm was a sort of Greek style with the color scheme being blue, white, and gray. By we, I meant my friends from America. They decided to "support" me and come over to Japan. I don't know how, but they got in...not that I doubt Cul's IQ, but she could do better... Anyway, when I told them I was leaving America for Japan, they immediately started packing their bags, saying that they wanted to come.
"Rin!" I heard my friend yell. "Open this door! I live in that room too!" I laughed and pushed myself off my bed, opening the door. Ring Suzune strode in with her bags and fell almost immediately on her bed on the other side of the room. "It feels good to be on land!" I tugged on her shirt and she flipped over on the mattress. Ring was the first girl I met when I attended school in America. She's somewhat of a bossy person and tends to be unintentionally rude at times, but other than that, she's a really good friend. She's always defensive about the people she cares about and she's just a person you have to learn to get along with. When I first met her, she was at her locker and spotted me. Out of all the people in that hallway, she started speaking in rapid Japanese as if she's done it before. It was sort of a 'You're a Japanese person? I know Japanese too!' moment. Honestly, I thought she was really annoying at first, but I love her. She helped me learn English and after six years, I pretty much got most of the language down. We spoke in Japanese too, so that was pretty awesome.
"So, how are the others?" I asked, as she sat up on her bed. She started unpacking and I jumped back onto my own bed.
"Okay, so you know how Cul loves her rock music, right?" Ring asked, in English. When I talked to my American friends, I tend to switch back and forth as a sort of habit. I nodded. "So she kept blasting that stuff on the plane and you know how Aoki is. Girl can't stand that stuff. So, they had like this argument and like Oliver had to step in to shut them up. "Did you know Oliver brought James?"
"His bird?" I asked.
"Yeah, apparently, the dorm is letting him keep it," she responded. In a matter of minutes, she finished unpacking. "That thing is still in his room. Speaking of rooms, we scored big time. It's a good thing you came here and claimed the room with the biggest balcony."
"I know right?" I asked, smiling.
"Also, Yuzuki, Aoki, and Cul are sharing the room next door," Ring said, placing her clothes in her personal closet. "It's the biggest room and it's like two beds on the floor and a ladder leading up to the one bed that's raised on a platform. It's pretty sweet."
"That's good because for a second there, it sounded like Oliver and Cul were going to share a room."
"Are you joking?" Ring replied. "No way am I letting Oliver anywhere close to her. That guy is so sweet, he'd probably be her slave."
"He's a gone man, Ring," I pointed out. "Not your weak little cousin anymore." She sighed and brushed through her hair with her hand.
"I guess you're right," she said, stretching. She walked over to me and pulled me up. "Alright, let's go get the others!" I nodded and she frowned, immediately examining my face. "...have you been crying?"
"What?" I asked. "N-no! It's just been a while since I've been here and-"
"Rin, don't lie to me," she said, frowning. "Just say yes and nothing else. You know I'd leave it alone."
"...thanks Ring," I mumbled. She smiled and continued to tug me to the living room. As soon as we got there, Yuzuki was flipping through the channels on the giant flat-screen in the living room, Aoki was checking out the kitchen, Cul was out on the balcony, and Oliver was still probably in his room. "Hey guys, so how's Japan?" Yuzuki muted the TV and stretched out on the white couch.
"So far, I'm enjoying it," she mewed. "Do the people here speak Japanese as fast as you, Rin?"
"Yeah and I doubt they know English, so don't even try it," I said, walking around the couch. Cul came into the room and closed the balcony behind her, throwing her arms over my shoulders in a hug.
"Well then, at least we know enough Japanese to move around here," Cul replied, with a smile.
"Speak for yourself," Aoki said, gracefully walking into the living room. "Unlike you, my parents taught me all of the Asian and European languages."
"You know, blue girl, sometimes, ya piss me off," Cul said, from above me.
"Cul, chill out, Aoki, you too," Oliver said, walking into the living room. "Oh hey Rin." I waved to him and he fixed his shirt. "So, are we all just gonna stand here or is Rin going to take us out to eat?"
"Well, I can do the second, but I'm not paying," I replied.
"So it's settled!" Cul beamed. "We're letting Aoki pay!"
"Alright, let's not piss Rin," Yuzuki called, as we all headed for the door. "Ring, you coming?"
"Yeah, I just needed to get my jacket-" A slip of paper floated down from her and I picked it up. "Rin! Don't!"
"...this is mine," I said, frowning. "Why do you have it?" It was Neru's number that was safely inside my bag.
"I just wanted to...uh..."
"It's not a boy, Ring."
"Oh. Nevermind then. Who is it?"
"An old friend of mine," I replied. Oliver opened the door and stepped out into the red velvet carpet of the dorm. The closest room to our was like...a good half quarter mile away, estimated. As we all filed out, I waited in the middle of the hall, looking up and down the isle. "You know, I'm just surprised that they let you shared your dorm with us." Oliver gave me a smile and a wink with his good eye. His other eye was blind from birth, but you couldn't tell just by looking at him. Actually, I'm pretty sure it still sees color.
"Let's just say I have connections around here," he replied. "And I can tell your accent is disappearing from your speech. That's good."
"Really?" I asked. "I don't want to forget Japanese!" He laughed.
"I don't think you will." He pulled out his phone and waved it. "Now, what did you want as a favor again?"
"Yeah, I'm not gonna tell you out here," I said, rolling my eyes. "It's too public."
"Of course, princess." He slid the phone back into his pocket and I looked back at the girls. "Okay, what's going on?"
"...does anyone have their keys?" Cul asked, pointing to the lock. I released a sigh and locked the door. "Alright! Let's get going!"
And soooo this is where I ask you if it feels like a new story because of the new characters I brought in. And yes. There's gonna be conflict. OHOHOHOHOHO. -shot-
