Here's the fourtheeth chapter. Last time, Rin and Len meet up unexpectedly in the park and talk about stuff...yeah. Haha. It appeared that Len admitted he kinda liked her? Maybe? I don't know. Please enjoy this next chapter. ^-^


Chapter 14

They said they'd be here.

They told me they'd be here during this time.

"Don't make us wait for you," they said.

Who's the one freaking waiting for you now?!

I sighed in frustration as I rested my head on my hand. I sat at my front door with all my stuff ready in hand. I was told to be ready at eight in the morning because they were going to be here already. I looked from right to left. I don't see them anywhere!

"Those jerks made me wake up early for nothing," I mumbled to myself.

I had my house keys around my neck with a lanyard and began to twirl them around. I was beginning to debate whether to stay inside and take a nap or stay here and continue to wait. I would totally go take a nap but thinking about the horrors of everyone else making loud noises made me shudder. Hey, I love my peaceful, quiet sleep, okay?

Just then, I see a black SUV ride up in front of my house. No doubt it was Gakupo's. That man was proud of his car.

The front passenger window rolled down to reveal Luka who smiled and waved at me.

"Good morning, sunshine! Surprise seeing you up this early," she said.

I growled.

"What are you waiting for? Get your stuff inside."

I grabbed my bags and moved towards the back of the SUV. The back lid opened, letting me place my bags inside and on top of others. At least I'll be the first one getting my things out. I walked over to the back seat door and opened it. Inside, Miku and Kaito were already positioned on the two front seats.

"Hey there, Len!" Miku smiled.

" 'Sup," Kaito greeted.

I frowned at them. I wasn't too happy to had waited outside for at least an hour and a half. I headed towards the back seats to which I almost froze in surprise.

"Hello, Len. Sucks to see you again," Rin smiled as she waved to me in the back seat all alone.

I sighed and headed towards the seat next to her. "Great. I have to get stuck with you."

"That's my line."

"Is everyone ready?" Gakupo called out as he turned over to us. I noticed he wore sunglasses. What a weirdo.

"We're ready!" Miku shouted, raising her hands in the air.

"Good! Now let's go!" Gakupo said and began driving away.

I took one last look at my depressing house before turning back towards the people in front of me. I didn't really wanted to have to be with Rin this early in the morning because, well, I stayed up almost all night just thinking about her. She was a total mystery to me, and I didn't want to think about it too much.

Luka turned on the radio and placed in some party songs, making Miku and Kaito dance around in the seats in front of me. Luka was probably dancing along as well and I bet Gakupo was too. I was hoping we don't get into any accidents.

"So, did you had a good night sleep?"

I turned to look at Rin who had her look towards me. Right there and then, I noticed there was something different about her. She wasn't wearing her usual white bow or hair clips.

"You don't have your bow and clips on," I said.

Rin ran a finger through her short hair. "I woke up not too long ago, so I was a bit drowsy. I'll put them on later. What? Does it bother you?"

I turned away. "No."

"You're weird."

"You're weirder."

"Oh you. Anyway, you didn't answer my question."

I turned back to her. "And that was?"

"Did you had a good night sleep?"

"And you care because...?"

Rin shrugged. "I'm just trying to keep a conversation going. I don't like being in an awkward silence for the whole ride."

"I guess. Well, it was decent. How about yours?"

Dear God. Am I actually going along with this?

"It was pretty bad actually," Rin began playing with her thumbs.

"How so?"

"Well, I couldn't really sleep. I kept tossing and turning but nothing made me fall asleep until right at six in the morning I fell asleep just when Miku came inside the house to pick me up. She helped me get everything ready while I got myself ready. That's why we arrived at your place late."

"So, it was you, huh? Do you know how many hours of sleep I could've still had?"

Rin pouted. "I'm sorry."

I shrugged. "It's fine but next time, you need to be ready."

"I will."

Silence.

"So, did you come up with a name for the song yet?" Rin said.

I sighed and facepalmed. "Let's not talk about the project. We're on break. Just chill, okay?"

I sensed Rin hesitate. "You're right. I'm sorry. I shouldn't be too pushy about it. I mean, we're basically done without a name for the song, but that's fine. Sorry." I turned to Rin as she gave me a small smile. "I won't bother you about that during camp."

I frowned. "You don't have to apologize..."

Rin either ignored me or didn't hear me, but she turned towards the window and said nothing. I was about to do the same until...

"Where exactly are we going, Luka?" Miku asked, catching my attention.

"To be honest, I have no idea," Luka said. "Gakupo, where are we going?"

"Don't know. I was just driving along, waiting until someone told me something," he said.

"You guys don't know where we're going?!" I hollered out.

"I thought people already knew. That's why I didn't say anything," Kaito said.

"Do any of you guys know where we are allowed to camp?"

Everyone shook their heads.

"We should turn this car around and head back home. Clearly, we have no idea where we're going," I said.

"No, no. Look, there's a gas station over there. We can stop and ask around. I'm sure someone would know," Luka said. "Either way, we needed to get more fresh snacks."

"Yay! Everything is solved!" Miku cheered.

I sighed and leaned against the seat. I'm surrounded by idiots. Rin giggled cutely, but I pretended not to hear her if not I was tempted to turn her way.

Gakupo drove into a gas station and set it to pump gas into the car. Everyone else got out and walked inside the small store. Everyone went their separate ways and left Rin and I behind.

Just as I was about to walk off, I heard some girls whispering, "Oh my gosh! He's so cute!"

I turned around to see two random girls eyeing me for a while before turning away, giggling.

"Chick magnet."

I turned back over to Rin who smirked.

"They don't know you and they already fallen head over heels for you," she said.

I smirked. "Jealous?"

Rin laughed and walked away. I chuckled and walked my own way.


"The wheels on the bus go round and round! Round and round! Round and round! The wheels on the bus go round and round all through the town!"

I growled with great frustration. The weirdos were at it again.

"Okay, okay. Now let's hear to real songs. We're being so random right now," Luka said as she turned on the radio and surfed through the stations.

"I'm getting so pumped!" Miku giggled.

"Cool down...with some ice cream!" Kaito said as he handed Miku a cone with vanilla ice cream.

"Thank you, Kaito!"

I rolled my eyes and turned my attention to the window. I was doomed to hear them sing for an hour and a half or so until we reached our destination. Dear God...

Because I was bored, I turned over to Rin to see what she was up to because she seemed so quiet throughout the ride. She was facing her window, but I could see on the reflection of it that she was smiling. She seemed happy enough. I guess she doesn't mind all the ruckus everyone else is causing...

Okay. Honestly...I felt very uneasy right now. I don't know why. Just looking at Rin without her signature hair clips and bow, I can't...she looks weird to me. Am I the weird one?

"Rin," I said softly for the others not to hear me and wonder what fascinating thing I was going to tell Rin. They've done it before...I was lucky enough to Rin's attention though.

"Hmm?" she said after turning herself around towards me.

I began to blush. "Uh, where are your hair clips and bow?"

Rin raised an eyebrow. "In my bag."

"Which bag?"

"The one at my feet."

I looked down and saw a small white bag. I grabbed it and was about to open it. "Permission?"

"Len, what are you doing?"

"Something."

"What is it?"

"Please?"

Rin sighed. "Fine. Whatever. But I'm keeping an eye on you. You're looking suspicious."

I searched through the bag and took out the hair clips. Without a word, I began placing each clip on her hair where she usually had them.

"L-Len," Rin stuttered.

I felt myself get hot, but pretended I didn't feel it. I took out her white bow and positioned it straight on her head like she always had it. I was surprised she didn't pushed me away.

Once I was done, I looked down to Rin's face that flushed by a deep red, making me only get hotter. I examined her cute face, wishing I could caress her cheek and show my affection, something I didn't show her at all.

I shook my head out of those weird thoughts and turned away. What was I thinking?

There was a long silence after that between Rin and I (excluding the weirdos singing). I peeked over to Rin to see if she was alright, but I found myself looking at her back. She was looking out the window once more. I looked over to the reflection and saw that she was struggling to keep her eyes open. She looked fatigued, sleepy. I remembered she told me she couldn't sleep at all last night, and I guess that's why she looks that way.

I continued to stare at her reflection until Rin finally gave up and went to sleep. That brought a smile to my face for some reason. It was actually cute. As she rested her head against the seat, I couldn't help but to admire her beautiful face. She was gorgeous, almost angelic. By the cute face she was making, it made her look even more like an angel sleeping. This girl made me smile without even trying.

I don't know, but I guess I was thinking she might get cold, so I pulled out a blanket out from my bag and gently placed it over Rin, trying hard not to wake her. Luckily, she didn't even stir.

Feeling accomplished, I turned back over to my window and was about to daydream to escape the others' noises until I felt something hit my shoulder. I turned around and, to my surprise, found Rin leaning against me. She must've lost her balance of sitting up and fell. I looked at her face, but she was still snoozing away.

I widely smiled. I could smell the sweet, tangy orange scent on her hair and it soothed me. I looked up front towards the others who were busy doing some crazy stuff that would probably end us getting into trouble and thought that no one would even noticed if I did it.

I gently placed my head against Rin's and fell asleep, hoping I would dream the same dreams as she was.


Eh. It was a tough day, tough chapter. I'm not really into this chapter. I don't know. What do you guys think
