Hellorh again my lovely people. It's me, Kat, and I'm back for another chapter of my new Vocaloid story, Vocaloid: You Don't Know Me! I really hoped you liked the last chapter, and that I'm gonna get a few reviews, views, and even followers/favourites from it. As you saw in the previous chapter, Miyako's a little messed up with her feelings. She's also really close to Rin and Kaito, which may prove to be a hindrance later on in the story. I'm saying no more, sorry Emma :3
Speaking of Emma, thanks again for being awesome! You should totally check out her stories, especially Vocaloid: I Know More Than You Expect. Her name on here is x-ChibiRinny-x by the way. Anyway, let the chapter commence.

~Chapter Two: Why Does She Hate Me So Much?~
~Kagamine Len's POV~
I sit, watching the empty space where Miyako had just been sitting. What did I do wrong? Why did she get up and leave? Weird. It had happened so fast. One minute, she was sitting at her desk, absent-mindedly smiling at something on her phone. The next, she was getting up and leaving. I heard the sharp bang as her chair hit the ground, and I saw the flash of her short, dark hair as she left the room in a flash, slamming the door behind her. From behind me, I hear a snigger, and turned to see three blonde girls in the corner giggling and whispering.
"What a loser," the tallest one whispers.
"I know!" a smaller girl with lighter hair replies quietly.
"She's such a freak," says the third one, obviously the leader, a girl with long blonde hair tied in a side ponytail. She's pretty, but her mouth is curled into an evil smirk. Then her eyes shift to me, and she quickly plasters a flirty grin on her face. She winks at me, and I just stare at her in disgust. What is her problem?
Gakupo-sensei is still watching the door. "Such drama," he mutters, and most of the class erupt into laughter. "Silence, please…I suppose I'd better go see what's going on. Stay here and read quietly, please." With that, he follows Miyako. A second after he leaves, everyone begins to chat among themselves. Two people to the side of me; boy with blue hair and a short girl with blonde hair and a large bow begin to whisper quietly, and I can't be sure, but I swear I catch my name once or twice. Weird.
I sit in silence for a few minutes, and eventually Gakupo-sensei returns, with no sign of Miyako. The small blonde girl and the blue haired boy look up in perfect synchronization. Freaky. The whole class falls silent.
"It seems Nakamura-san has somehow left the school premises," Gakupo-sensei says. The girl with the ponytail raises her hand. "Yes, Akita-san?"
"Gakupo-sensei, if you have to get on with lessons, I could go look for her," she says sweetly, and Gakupo-sensei sighs and nods.
"If you wouldn't mind, Akita-san. Kagamine-san, maybe you should accompany Akita-san in her search. It'd give you a good chance to look around." I hesitate. Damn. Why me? Sighing, I get to my feet and follow the blonde girl out of the door.
~Akita Neru's POV~
Trust Miyako to get all the attention from the new kid. I mean, she's a freak, and she's not even that interesting. Plus, I'm prettier, more popular, better than her in every way, but this new boy doesn't seem to know I exist. Well, time to change that.
"Hey," I say, smiling at him. "Len, right?" He nods, obviously not interested in me at all. Damn. "I'm Neru."
"Nice to meet ya," he replies, in a way that tells me it's not. Wow, he's stubborn. Ah, well, we have plenty of time. "Why did she run off like that?"
"Who, Miyako-chan?" I ask. "She does it a lot, especially when new kids come to school. I think she's uncomfortable around new people or something."
"Did I do something wrong?" Len's voice is worried.
"Oh, no, no! You were fine. Miyako-chan just doesn't like making new friends. She's kind of a loner, if you know what I mean."
"You sound like you don't like her much," he says, an accusing tone in his voice.
"Oh, it's not that! I think she's adorable, really. So sweet. It's just a pity she won't let anyone talk to her." I lay emphasis on the anyone. He finally seems to get the message, and shuts up about Miyako.
"Where would she have gone, then?" Len asks, and I shrug.
"Knowing Miyako-chan, she could be pretty much anywhere," I reply, half-heartedly looking around.
"Gakupo-sensei said she'd left the school premises."
"She probably has. Hey, there's a park down here she likes to go to. Maybe we should check there." I try to sound concerned, or at least like I actually care what happens to Miyako. Len nods.
"Lead the way," he says, and I do, hiding a smile for the entire walk.
~Miyako's POV~
My phone begins to buzz in my pocket, and I sigh and slump down against a thick oak tree. To my left, little kids are playing on swings and whooping with laughter. Mothers are chatting, pushing their babies in prams. One little boy has ice cream smeared all around his mouth. It brings tears to my eyes. It reminds me of the childhood I never had.
My phone buzzes again, and I roll my eyes and blink back the hot tears to check my messages.
Rin: Why'd you take off like that?
Kaito: You seemed pissed. Did that new kid say something to you?
Me: No. It's not that.
Kaito: What is it?
Me: It's…nothing, I guess. I just needed fresh air. You know how boring English lessons are, especially with Gakupo-sensei as your teacher.
Rin: Do you want us to come find you?
Me: You don't know where I am.
Kaito: You're in the park, I'm guessing.
Me: How'd you know?
Rin: You always are, when you're not at school or with us.
Me: I guess so.
I change the settings on our conversation so that Kaito and Rin can see my surroundings. Quickly, the message light on my mobile begins to flash rapidly.
Me: What?
Kaito: Incoming.
Me: Incoming where?
Rin: Did you order a sand-witch?
Me: Funny. No, seriously, who is it?
Kaito: Let's just say Gakupo-sensei hasn't got the best taste in search parties.
Me: Jeez, just tell me who it is!
Rin: You're not gonna like it.
Me: Rin…
Rin: Fine. It's…
"Miyako-chan!" an annoying, high pitched voice calls. Ugh, why'd he have to send Neru after me, of all people. I look up, and freeze when I see that she's not alone. Len Kagamine peeks out from behind her and waves awkwardly.
"What do you want?" I ask, annoyed.
"To make sure you're okay, of course!" Neru laughs. I raise an eyebrow. Since when does she care? Then it hits me. Oh, of course. To impress the new kid.
"I'm fine. Leave me alone."
"But Gakupo-sensei said we're to bring you back! Didn't he, Lenny-kun?" Neru gushes. Lenny-kun? What the hell is wrong with this girl.
"I wish you wouldn't call me that," Len whispers.
"Aw, don't be a spoilsport!" Neru replies, batting her large amber eyes at him. He just looks back at her, a little star struck, and it looks like he's going to end up like most of the other boys in our class; completely in awe of Neru. Typical. I swear, if it weren't for Kaito and Rin, I'd go mad. Len holds her gaze for a second, then finally, and somewhat unwillingly, turns his head to me.
"Are you okay?" he asks, and I half shrug.
"She's fine, see?" Neru's voice murmurs, and she hooks her arm through Len's, turning her back on me completely. "Now, let's get back to class." She looks over her shoulder and beckons to me. "C'mon, Miyako-chan!" I roll my eyes, and begin to follow them back to the prison grown-ups like to call school.
Neru chatters to Len the entire journey, and he replies from time to time, when he can get a word in edgeways. They both seem to have forgotten I'm here, which is fine by me. By the time we get back to school, Len and Neru are laughing together and flirting with each other. For some reason, it hurts. I don't even know why. It's not as if I like Len Kagamine. I'm not jealous at all. Am I?
Right on cue, Len turns to me with a grin that would make most girls melt in their shoes. Not me. No way in hell. I keep my eyes on the ground.
"You okay back there?" he asks cockily. Neru smirks, making sure he can't see the evil twist that shapes her mouth. Her amber eyes burn like fire. I roll my eyes in disgust.
"I'm fine," I reply, more harshly than even I expected.
"Uh-huh.." Okay, that's it. He's asking for it. I jerk my head up so I'm facing him.
"Why the hell do YOU care?" I screech. Neru bites back a giggle. I swear, I'm gonna slap that girl so hard one of these days. Len, meanwhile, looks hurt. Then, anger flickers over his features.
"Fine," he snarls. He throws his arm around Neru's shoulder. "I don't know what your problem is, Miyako-chan, but it obviously has something to do with me, so I guess I'll just leave you alone, okay?"
"Fine!" I shout back, but I'm blinking back tears. Ugh, damn it, Miyako, pull yourself together. Quit crying already.
"And you wonder why no one likes you?" Len growls, and my eyes open wide. Neru looks like she's about to take a photo or something. I swear to God…
"Come on, Lenny-kun. Maybe we should give Miyako-chan some time alone," she whispers, and he nods.
"With pleasure," he says, turning his back on me and walking back towards school with Neru. Just before they walk out of my view, she turns her head and mouths one, evil word right at me.
Freak. She whispers something in Len's ear, and they both walk on, laughing, until I can't see them anymore. The only problem is, I can't figure out whether it's because they've turned a corner, or because I'm blinded by the tears that are now flooding down my cheeks.

Well, what did you think of that, kids? I hope you understood how various people felt about Miyako, and how she felt about them. Don't worry, there are still many twists and cliff hangers to come, and I don't think I have anything too big coming up that'll take up my time (tomorrow excluded, obviously), so I'll be updating pretty quickly. I hope I do get some views and reviews on this, as you guys make my writing worthwhile, along with none other than Emma, who kind of inspired me to write this after I read her amazing OC story (which you need to check out by the way), so thankies, Em c:
So, I think that's pretty much all I need to say so far, I think as of next time, I'll be including a couple of answers to reviews and stuff like that. There's an 'exciting' documentary about otters on the TV at the moment…oh, joy T_T that my nan seems to be increasingly engrossed in, and I need to find the remote before the boredom contaminates me too. Wish me luck :3
KITTY KAT, AWAY!
