Chapter 2

Miku

Present day

"Miku! What's taking so long? I have to brush my hair too!" I flinched slightly as I heard the voice of my older sister, Meiko, through the bathroom door.

I splashed cold water onto my face and started tying my hair into pigtails.

"I can't wait to see Kaito again at school today," I said to myself as examined my reflection in my mirror once more. "I have a feeling that something goods going to happen. I just know it!" I said to myself. My sister's knocking just got louder. I sighed as I exited the bathroom door. I ignored Meiko as she went inside instantly. I shuffled my feet outside and walked out the door.

"I'm leaving!" I called out to my sister who was probably getting ready for work and didn't hear me.

I walked to Len's house, who lived next door. His front door was always locked, but his back door barely ever was. Normally, he would be outside waiting, but for some reason, he wasn't. I sighed as I walked in through the back door and went into his room. He's probably still getting ready. Surprisingly enough, there he was, asleep... still. It was odd though. Normally, he was the first one waiting outside. But I guess he was just stressed out or tired. I dropped my school bag and walked up to him where he lay, asleep. I hovered over him and in a flash... I hit him over the head to wake him up.

"You dummy! Were gonna be late if you don't get ready this instant!" I yelled as I watched the blond groggily get up.

"Eh? Oh! What time-" he didn't finish his sentence.

It was odd to see him sleeping in lke that. I watched as he got up and blinked a couple times. He walked over to his closet and pulled out his school uniform. The way he was moving was so, robotic and lifeless.

"Honestly, Len. Sleeping in class, sleeping in, running late," your gonna get held back if you don't take school more seriously," I said as he started unbuttoning his shirt. "Hey are you listening? Wait a minute, at least wait until I'm out of the room until you start undressing!" I said as I ran out of there as he continued undressing, and didn't seem to notice, with my bag as quickly as possible.

Something was definitely different about him today.

"I'll wait for you in the living room, okay Len?" I called out.

There was no response. I sighed as I walked out of the hallway and into the kitchen. I popped a piece of toast in his toaster before sitting down and looking around. Maybe it was that girl from the other day? Was she on his mind, still?

"Sorry 'bout that Miku," he said. I turned towards the door. Len went out of his room and walked towards the kitchen where he grabbed the piece of toast as it flew out of the toaster. "Thanks," he said, smiling.

"Your welcome," I said, smiling back.

I glanced at the clock."Woah, we better hurry, or we'll be late!" I said as I quickly opened the door, and the two of us left for school.

When school let out, I waited for Len at the gate as usual.

"Miku?" I jumped at the familiar girly voice that could only belong to Len. "Any plans for today?" he asked as he put his hands over his eyes to block out the sun, which was shining very brightly today.

"Nope," I said. "I figured with semester exams and all, that it's best we study," added as I noticed Kaito walking up to us. I smiled and waved at him. "Hey Kaito!" I exclaimed. I turned again towards Len.

"Hey... you listening?" I asked. ...That was the second time today. What on earth is going on with him today? I looked in the direction he seemed to be staring in and saw the same blond haired girl walking with her friend. I smirked as I looked up into his eyes.

"Hey Len~. It's her," I giggled while I put my hands on my hips. "If you think she's cute, why not just ask her out on a date already?" I asked.

He didn't say anything. ...Did I say something wrong? He turned away from me rather coldly and walked away. I tried looking at Len directly at Len who seemed reluctant to walk back home. He kept turning the other direction though.

"I have to go to the library for a research project... I'll see you both tomorrow," he said as he turned and started running in the direction opposite where our house was.

"You know what's going on with him?" Kaito asked.

I shook my head. I guess I'm walking alone today... Unless of course...

"Hey Miku," I turned around and blushed as I gazed into Kaito's deep blue eyes. "You don't mind if I walk with you to go home right? Your house is along the way, that is, if I take a different route. But this way you don't have to walk alone" he said.

"Sure," I said. I couldn't believe this! I never wanted this day to end. I guess this was the good thing that I predicted this morning! I smiled as my face lit up with joy.

I still wondered where Len had really gone. I had a feeling that he didn't really go the library. I started walking home with Kaito, smiling the whole way through.

Thank you Len.

Author's note: Hi everyone. I've gotten really addicted to writing this story. I've written like the next few chapters after this already, but I'm still editing them. But I should be able to update pretty quickly, like every few days depending on how merciful my teachers are with homework...

Anyways I hope you enjoyed reading this chapter more than I did writing it -.-

I guess I just don't like writing in Miku's point of view?
