MELODY
Disclaimer: Vocaloid doesn't belong to me, though I'd love to have an actual Vocaloid of my own. :3
To prevent confusion, I just want to say that I've made a mistake in the first chapter. Miku, Yuuma, and Mizuki's room was room 307, not 304. Sorry.
Kaito Shion stared at every student, scrutinizing them. Another new class, huh? For some weird reason, the students of Vocaloid academy weren't grouped by year level. Class B was just composed of all the students in room 307 to room 312. Eighteen students. Very few students were able to get through the strict screening and selection process of the academy. This school really have very high standards. And about the fact that they weren't grouped by year level - they were given different worksheets, depending on what's appropriate for their level. It was quite a different way, but it sure was effective.
The homeroom teacher gave them a warm smile.
"Good morning. I am your homeroom and Japanese teacher, Kaito Shion."
The students all stood up and bowed. "Good morning, Shion-sensei!"
"Sit down."
The class obeyed and sat down. Kaito began calling out their names, checking the attendance and asking for introductions at the same time.
A girl with exaggerately long teal hair was blushing madly and stuttering like crazy. Another pink-haired girl blabbered about Hello Kitty. Another girl started bickering with her twin brother. The class squealed at the sight of two accelerated students - children are all so cute. The students of class B, Kaito realized, would be the weirdest class he'd ever handle. Oh well, this was his first time teaching. Maybe he'll be handling weirder students in the future.
Chapter Two: First Day
Miku couldn't believe it. Her idol, and maybe crush, Kaito Shion was teaching Japanese in this academy! This could be a great chance to get to know him better! She was so excited. She stared dreamily at their awesome instructor as he explained things to them.
After class, she walked up to him, mentally practicing all the things she could say to impress him.
"Shi... Shion-sense!" she bowed down. "Good... day. I- I'm..."
She suddenly wanted to slap herself. She shouldn't have spoken - she'll only embarrass herself!
She grasped for words, praying that her face was still in its normal color. "I'm glad you're teaching here. I'm a really big fan of you!"
That's it. She had to die now. Her favorite singer might have a bad impression of her now - a diehard stalker slash fangirl. Why, why, why?
The man patted her head, ruffling her soft hair and slightly ruining the style. "Thanks. You have a sweet angelic voice - I'm sure your voice is very beautiful. I'll look forward to hearing it."
And then he left for his second class.
Miku touched the top of her head, the one Kaito had patted earlier. Her cheeks felt hot.
Shion-sensei is so... nice..
At that moment, she knew that she was officially in love.
Class continued normally, with teachers who were all graduates of the same academy but less famous. Introductions had to be repeated again and again for each, much to the students' despair. They hate repetitions. The introductions are also getting boring.
Len and Rin continued throwing crumpled pieces of pair into each other, Iroha filled her notebook with Hello Kitty doodles, Miku wrote Their homeroom teacher's name on the back of her notebook in perfect calligraphy, Piko and Gumi passed notes, and Ryuuto played with his PSP under his desk. Once or twice, their teacher noticed his business and told him off. Gumi glared at him. (The most epic words that was said to him that day were "Why the serious face, Ryuuto-kun? Something wrong with your crotch?")
Most of the students in their class, including the youngest ones (much to everyone's surprise) were all very smart. One of the seniors, a pink-haired girl named Luka, pointed out a mistake in her worksheet. Len got a perfect score in all of his worksheets (Rin glared at him for not letting her copy, she got a low score). Ryuuto and Yuki were catching on pretty quickly. The teachers were amazed.
In P.E. class, however, nobody needed separate worksheets. It was all about games and physical stuff. And their teacher was the drunkard Meiko Sakine.
"Okay, class, first, I want to know your flexibility," she announced. She sounded completely different from the drunk psycho during the opening ceremony - right now she was more matured and worthy of her profession.
"To test your flexibility," she continued, "You must see if you're able to do this." She held up her right hand, and using her left hand, she tried to bend her right hand backwards until the tip of her middle finger had almost touched the back of her wrist. The class was amazed. You could be sure her wrist would break, but it didn't. Who knows, maybe she could bend her elbows at three-sixty degrees.
After her exhibition, she told the class to do the same.
Apparently, almost nobody liked the first activity. They groaned in pain as they gave up just before blood splatters into the field. Only Luka, IA, Rin, Len, Iroha, and Lily were able to do it so easily. (And here begins the teasing: "Len is gay!")
They did a few more physical fitness tests. Though tiring, everyone enjoyed the class. It instantly became a favorite subject. And now everyone's assumptions about Meiko were all proven wrong. Their PE teacher was a really nice person, just keep her away from alcohol.
During class, though, one of the seniors, Gakupo, had a nosebleed and passed out. Their homeroom teacher's had to come and help in bringing him to the clinic. He and Meiko seemed so awfully close that the class began teasing them. Miku almost exploded of jealousy.
Lunch break followed after PE. The food in the cafeteria were so tantalizing - the smell was so delicious yet their pockets can't give their tongue what it wanted.
"Wow!" Rion, who instantly became Rin's friend, exclaimed as she stared in awe at her bento. "That looks really delicious, Rinny-chi! Did you make it yourself?"
Rin glanced at her brother, who also looked at her. It was him to who cooked their bento.
"Oh, my brother and I made it," she said, smiling.
Len smirked. "Yeah, my sister is a really good cook."
Rin blushed. She kicked his ankle. Apparently, her brother was being sarcastic. Everything she cooks never makes it out of the pan or oven decently. He whimpered and kicked her back. Soon enough, the twins were already kicking each other's ankles. Rion sighed.
"If you two aren't twins," she murmured, shaking her head, "You can be a couple."
Rin's cheeks heated up. Len stopped kicking and continued eating instead. "Yuck. This sister of mine won't make a good girlfriend."
Soon he found himself flying off into someone else's table - Piko, Gumi, Yuki, and Ryuuto's.
"Kamui-sempai was probably very tired," Gumi mumbled.
"I don't think so," Piko replied. "I'm sure it has something to do with boobs - wait, Kagamine-kun, what are you doing on our table?"
"My food," Yuki's complained, and Len realized that his foot was on her soup.
He quickly sat up. "I'm sorry! If it's anyone's fault, it's Rin's!"
Piko sighed as Len got off the table. "Here, Yuki-chan. Take my bento."
The young girl hesitantly ate her cousin's bento as she glared at the Kagamine table.
After lunch, which was before all the academic stuff, we're the performing arts subjects.
During Music class, everyone had to sing a composition they themselves had written. It was embarrassing for most, but they liked the activity. Some sang duets, like Yuuma and Mizuki. IA began dancing. The music teacher loved their voices.
She also asked them what instruments they play. Miku played the piano, Len played the drums, Rin and Luka played the base guitar, Gakupo played the violin, and the rest didn't play any instruments. They were assured that they'll learn at least one instrument this year, though.
Drama definitely wasn't Miki's favorite subject.
To test them, their drama teacher grouped them into partners and randomly told them what to do. As for her, her partner was Piko and they had to make up a love story that has a kissing scene in the end. Their lips weren't actually supposed to meet, but during the presentation, Piko made their lips touch. He became her first kiss - and she doesn't even know him yet. She wanted to protest.
After class, Piko ran to her and apologized.
"Sorry, Miki-san! I'm sure you didn't like the kiss. I just knew that our drama teacher wanted things to be perfect, so I did that. I'm sure we'll get a high grade, though. Dont be mad at me."
Miki stared at the floor. "Yeah, it's okay. That... That was my first kiss, though."
Piko sighed. "You were my first kiss, too."
The two were silent for a moment, until Miki looked at her watch.
"I'm going back to my room," she announced. "See you." And then she left, leaving Piko trying to suppress a wide grin.
She's nice. I'm glad it's her who became my first kiss, not some random bitch.
Maybe the love story they're making had just started.
Len headed towards the music room. Maybe he could check out the instruments there. He was really interested in all of the things he found there during class earlier. Maybe he could play the drums there?
He stopped when he heard the unmistakable sound quality for a piano, coming from the music room itself. Someone else was in the room, playing a wonderful melody - 'Kiss the Rain', he was sure.
He walked closer, wondering who could be the one playing. He peered through the door to see a girl with long teal hair sitting in front oedxsgnjoGdscdfghjjaaf the piano in the corner of the room, her fingers gracefully dancing across the tabs. He listened in awe as she faultlessly finished the composition.
She flexed her fingers after the song and took a deep breath.
That was when she saw him.
"K-Kagamine-kun!" she exclaimed, staring in shock at the figure standing by the door. "What are you doing here?"
Len shrugged. "I was about to check out the instruments here and maybe play some, but looks like you came before me."
Miku sighed. All the time, she thought it was Shion-sensei listening to her. How could she mistake this blonde for a handsome homeroom teacher?
"Well, if you don't mind," Len said. "I would like to hear your song again. What was that... Last Night, Good Night?"
She thought for a while. "Why do you want to hear it?"
"I just kinda like your voice," he replied. "You know, high but relaxing and angelic."
The comment made her blush, but she looked away. She felt shy.
Silence enveloped the two. He felt uneasy.
"Well if you want to be alone-" Len began, but Miku cut him off. She began playing another composition on the piano - a combination of notes he'd never heard before.
Her soft voice filled the music room. Len stood awkwardly in front of her, but he admired her singing.
Soon after, she finished singing. Len stood, speechless.
"Miku," he mumbled. "Teach me how to play the piano."
