Chapter 6
(Insert any ringtone)
Darn it. Why? Why?!
(Ringtone)
Without picking my head, I reached over to my alarm clock to turn it off. After attempting many times, the thing stopped. I went back to my deep sleep that only lasted a second before I heard the music again.
(Ringtone)
I lifted my head and turned it towards the alarm clock. It wasn't the one making noise but my cell phone next to it. I've mistaken my phone with the clock yet again.
I reached over to the phone, careful not to fall off the bed and answered it without looking to see who it was.
"What?" I groaned.
"Get your lazy ass over here!" the person on the other end shouted.
I didn't even flinched. "Who is this?"
"It's me, Kaito! Hurry up, man!" he said.
"Why are you calling me this early?"
"Dude, it's freaking noon, bro!"
I turned over to the clock to see 12:00pm exact in red lighting.
"So?" I said.
"Did you forget the hang out we were suppose to have today?"
"Hang out?"
"You forgot, didn't you? We were suppose to be going on our dates today, bro. How can you forget?"
"Uh...dates?"
"You know, Miku and I, Gakupo and Luka, and you and...well, I don't even know, but yeah."
I groaned.
"Fine. We don't want you anyway if that's how you're going to be."
"I'm going, I'm going. Geez."
"You better hurry up, dude. We've been waiting thirty minutes now."
"Yeah, yeah."
With that, Kaito hung up on me. I placed my phone besides the clock and groaned. I was so comfortable. I didn't want to get up. For what? A date with someone I didn't even know? I don't remember setting myself on a blind date.
But I couldn't really do much but to get up and get myself ready. What a drag.
After getting myself dressed and simple business done, I headed towards the door and grabbed my keys. I looked around the almost deserted house. It was a lonely place without my family around. Even though I get money support from them, they never really wanted anything to do with me. I was suppose to be living the real world life way before I entered high school. I was living alone for a while, and I got used to it. I had to learn to live like an adult some day, right?
I sighed and walked out the door, locking it behind me as I headed towards the meeting area where the others were waiting for me.
"Finally you decide to show up."
I shrugged as I walked over to the blue head and purple head who were both giving me impatient looks.
"I came, didn't I?" I said.
"Barely," Kaito said. "We were going to leave you behind, you know."
"I could careless."
"I knew you would."
"Girls, Len's here!" Gakupo called out.
I looked over towards two girls who were, what I thought, petting a stray dog. They had smiles on their faces, not caring if the dog had rabies.
"Miku! Luka! Don't touch that dog!" Kaito shouted as he rushed over to them with Gakupo following. I could only sweat dropped. Sometimes, those girls had no sense.
"It wasn't doing us any harm," Miku said sweetly to Kaito.
"Doesn't matter. It could've attacked without warning. You need to be careful," Kaito said.
"I brought some sanitizer," Gakupo said as he took out a small bottle from his pocket.
Luka giggled. "Aren't I the one who suppose to have that?"
"I know you would never bring it, so I brought it just in case. Don't want your soft hands to be dirty."
The four all smiled and laughed among themselves. I could only stand a few feet away from them, not knowing what to do. I really hated when I had to come to these dumb dates with them. I would be fine if it was just me, but these people always make me feel uneasy. So much yucky lovey-dovey stuff. I'm sure they're all lying to each other anyway.
"Len?"
I was caught off guard as I turned around where a familiar voice called out to me. I hesitated when I saw who it was.
"Rin?"
Indeed it was. There she was, standing before me with her long, striking blonde hair, shiny blue eyes, a black blouse, teal skirt, black short boots, and her usual white bow. She looked gorgeous, making me freeze upon her image.
"Len? Stop staring at me! You're freaking me out!" Rin said as she struck my face.
I blinked out of my hypnosis state as I held onto my stung cheek. I shook my head from disbelief and growled at her. "What the fuck?"
Rin huffed and crossed her arms.
"Woah. Not even starting and you two are already fighting," Kaito said as he and the others walked over to us. "You guys seem to get along just fine at school."
"Just what is the meaning of this?!" Both Rin and I demanded. There was just no way I was going to hang around with someone like her.
"Well, we thought it was a nice idea to have a hang out together," Miku said. "Luka and I invited Rin along since she's our friend."
"And that was just at the last minute," Kaito said. "I swear us guys have nothing to do with this."
I growled. "This sucks! I'm leaving." As I began to walk away, someone grabbed my shoulder and pulled me back harshly. I turned around to see Kaito. "Let me go!"
"What do you think you're doing? We all said we were going to hang out and we are," he said.
"I'll hang out if that weirdo would get out," I said pointing at Rin.
"I wouldn't be talking," Rin hissed.
"Wow. Here I thought you two were actually getting along just fine," Luka said.
"Luka, I told you I didn't get along with him. I clearly told you in a long oral essay that I did not like him."
"Nerd," I muttered.
Rin glared at me with a red face and seemed like she was about to slap me again, but she quickly calmed down. "Fine, whatever. I don't care anymore. Let's just go."
"I agree. We've been wasting too much time already," Gakupo said. He wrapped an arm around Luka. "Let's go have a nice walk downtown, shall we?"
Luka smiled. "And then we can totally get down with shopping."
"Yay! Shopping!" Miku squealed and cuddled Kaito.
"Uh oh. That could only mean trouble," Kaito chuckled.
As the two couples started walking ahead, Rin and I walked behind them, not looking at each other nor saying a word. Or at least just for a while.
"Here I was praying to not see you on a weekend," Rin huffed.
I didn't look at her. "Same here. Who would want to see that unstable face of yours? Surely not me."
"As if you look any better."
"Way better than you."
"Really? Well, no wonder I see so much make up on you. Maybe if you ate some of that make up, you could be pretty on the inside."
I turned to Rin who had her face away from me. I growled. So, is this how it's going to be? Two can play at that game.
I turned to look at the two couples in front of me. "Too bad for your intelligence, it just doesn't match your face."
I sensed Rin looking over to me. I smirked.
"Do people really fall for you...despite who you are?" she said.
I looked at her as she smirked. I smirked back.
We were in war.
For the rest of the day, as everyone else was busy shopping and such, Rin and I would spend time shooting each other insults after insults. When we ran out, we would keep quiet, did something, and then one of us would have yet another comment to say. We were both scoring each other pretty hard, but it was our form of entertainment. Since we didn't like each other to spend time as any regular couple or friends do, we were arch-enemies in our own little war.
"If you're going to be a smartass, first you have to be smart. Otherwise, you're just an ass," I said.
"Come again when you can't stay quiet so long," Rin said.
We both looked at each other and laughed.
"We're so bored," I said.
"Incredibly bored. But I totally won this round," Rin said.
"You? Don't you mean me?"
"You wish."
We stopped walking at an intersection as we both looked around.
"Rin, where is everyone else at?" I said.
"I don't know. I thought they were right in front of us. At least they were thirty minutes ago," she said.
I faceplamed. "They completely left us! What jerks!"
Rin frowned. "So much for my ride back home."
I laughed. "What a loser."
Rin pouted. "I can still get home except it might take me a while."
"Loser."
"Shut up."
I shrugged and began heading my way.
"Len?"
I turned around to Rin. "Hmm?"
Rin opened her mouth but shut it back up with a shook of her head. "Nevermind. I guess I'll just see you later. Hopefully not too soon."
I chuckled. "Hopefully."
Rin smiled softly, an actually smile than a smirk, and turned away. I stood there for a while, staring at her as she walked away. It made me feel bad though. It made me feel bad to see her walking to her house all by herself, not to mention it was getting late.
Oh Len. Please don't do this to yourself. Please don't-.
"Rin, hold up," I said as I rushed over to her.
And you freaking did it.
"What is it now?" Rin said as she raised an eyebrow.
"Let me walk you home."
"What?! Are you out of your mind?"
"Is there something wrong with me walking you home?"
"It'll take me forever to count the reasons."
I smirked. "You're still going with the war?"
"It'll only take the rest of my life. But seriously, why would you want to walk me home? I thought you didn't want to see me more than you already have to."
"Well..." I rubbed the back of my head. "...I guess since I've walked so many girls home-"
"Let me stop you right here," Rin said as she raised a finger to my face. "Remember that I'm not like any other girl. Most certainly not one of your toys."
"Look, I wasn't going to say anything in that sense. I swear."
"Liar."
I frowned. That's one word I hate being called even though I know I am one, hardcore. "Please, Rin, I just want to walk you home. It's getting late and stuff happens late at night. You said you live far, right? I'll accompany you."
Rin blinked. "W-what? Len Kagamine is wanting to walk me home because he doesn't want me to walk alone after dark?"
"Isn't that what I said?"
Rin placed her hand on my forehead. "Are you sure you're not sick?"
I sweat dropped. "For crying out loud!" I grabbed Rin's hand and pulled her away. "Let's get you home."
"It's the other way, Len."
I huffed and turned the other way. Rin giggled behind me but suddenly stopped. "Eww!"
I quickly turned around, alarmed. "What?"
"Y-you're...holding my h-hand..."
I looked down to my right hand that was holding Rin's left hand. It took my mind two seconds to figure out what was wrong with the picture.
"I swear I didn't mean to!" I said as I let go of her hand.
Rin frowned and looked away. "You better not have."
I sighed and began walking once more. "Come on."
And so we walked in silence for the rest of the walk. I wasn't really paying attention to where we were heading as my mind kept rewinding the scene of me holding Rin's hand. Just what was I thinking? I probably wasn't. I would never do that even if it was to hurt her. Holding hands just isn't my thing.
I looked over to Rin who was looking away from me towards the street with passing cars.
She was my first...my first in holding hands with...can you believe it? I have a first with someone like her.
And that was it. I was going to add more stuff to this afterwards but decided to stop it there and continue it on the other chapter. I'm sure I can make the other one longer...maybe.
Well, Rin and Len get their first "date" or whatever that was together. They just shot insults upon insults to each other. They seem to be having fun though. And what is this? Le gasp! Len offers to take Rin home. Oh Len. I wish you did that for me. Haha.
Tune in for more and please review. Thank you. ^-^
