Chapter Eight-

Love Struck! Enter Mikuo!

(Rin's POV)

I leaned over and whispered into Miku's ear, "hey, who's that sitting next to Len?"

"Who? Him? That's Kaito."

"No, no! On the other side of Len."

Miku looked all around Len, as if I was imagining the boy next to him and she didn't see anything. After awhile of looking, she finally realized who I was talking about, "Ooooooh! Him?" she questioned while gesturing to the same guy I had asked about, "that's Mikuo, Aka my idiotic older brother."

I frowned; I mean I was checking out my new friend's brother. How awkward!

"Why'd you ask?"

"Oh, you know, just wondering." Well, that was the truth. I was just wondering who that hot guy was.

I sighed and took a mouthful of my sandwich, as I stared at my new-founded friend's untouchable brother.

"Hey, earth to Rin!" Miku said, as she began to wave her free hand in front of my gaze, "You alright?"

Suddenly noticing what I had been doing, I felt my face heat up and quickly muttered a response, "I-I'm just f-fine…"

Miku eyed me suspiciously before returning her attention back towards her half-eaten meal.

Things between me and Miku suddenly got quiet; I started to cringe as thoughts fled into my mind. Did she catch me looking at him? Oh my gosh, how embarrassing! Does she think I'm weird? I felt my face flush as these things crossed my mind.

I snuck a peek at Miku, to see if she was looking at me or not, but she was too busy with her lunch to notice me. I don't know if I should be happy or concerned with this.

"Hey Rin!" I poked my head up at the sound of my name, as my eyes locked onto Len's, "Come over here real quick!" He cheered out, as he patted his hand on the free seat next to him.

Gratefully, I picked up what was left of my lunch and moved over to Len's side.

I slid over into the vacant seat, that Mikuo was previously seated in. Now he was directly across from me.

"So…" Len began.

I looked at him as if he was insane, "What?" He must have something to say. After all he was the one who just so happened to invite me over, literally two seconds ago.

"I just wanted to introduce you to a few people," Len stated, "This is Kaito," he explained as he gestured over on his left to the teen, "He's in a higher grade than us, but he still hangs out with us anyway."

I groaned, "We already met." I stated simply, trying to avoid details.

Len glanced at me then towards the blue-haired teen, "When?"

I was about to speak up, but Kaito beat me to it, "I met your twin in the halls earlier during first period."

Len looked over at me, puzzled, "W-what? We're not-"

I cut him off and sighed, "Don't waste your breath, I've explained this to him already. He doesn't get it."

Kaito looked at me and winked, "No, I get it. You're the adopted one." I mentally groaned.

Len decided to shrug it off and continue with the introductions, "So this is Mikuo, Mikuo this is Rin." He demonstrated as he pointed to each said person.

"Hey, I've heard about you a ton from Len before, it's cool that I get to meet you." I looked at Len baffled, before I decided to respond to Mikuo.

"N-nice to meet you." I stammered.

Len then turned to the last person, who completed their small group, "And this is Ted," he said as he indicated who the red head was … He looked a bit familiar, but I decided not to dread on it.

For the remainder of lunch, I pretty much stayed at the guy's side of the table. Miku ended up coming up later and sitting with us, turns out she didn't catch me at all staring at her brother. She said that she had family matters on her mind and was sorry for not talking too much.

After lunch I reached into my bag to find my schedule. Knowing that it'd take me awhile to find it, I just set all of my belongings down and started to dig through my backpack.

(Len's POV)

Once lunch finished, I caught Rin hurrying a bit faster than usual to go to her next class. I was about to follow her when I felt a tap on my shoulder.

I turned around and greeted him, "Hey, Mikuo."

"Hey, just a quick question," Mikuo gave me a long stare that made me feel uneasy, "what are your feelings towards Rin?" If that question didn't throw me off a bit, then nothing else would.

I observed him carefully, trying to figure out his intentions before I would answer. Who knows, one wrong slip of the mouth everything could come tumbling down. After all, this is the guy who I've told the most about Rin over the past years.

I was about to speak when Mikuo started talking again, "And before you say 'we are just friends' think your words over carefully. I've heard you talk about this girl for years, with no communication from her at all and then she suddenly shows up on your doorstep? You must feel something for her."

I opened and then closed my mouth, I was about to say we were just friends. That is all she thinks of me … right? I sighed before looking at Mikuo and responding, "There's nothing between me and Rin at all. We're only friends. I have no feelings for her either."

Mikuo studied my features for a split second before he went on, "You're positive?"

I hesitated a bit before answering back, "Yeah."

He slightly smiled before he asked a question that really made me stop in my tracks, "Are you saying that if I wanted to make Rin mine, then you'd have no objections against it?"

I knew that Rin didn't even know who I was, and that fact alone was enough reason for me not to chase after her; even after all of these unknown years we had spent together. But if I did tell him that I didn't care, then that would totally ruin my chances of getting together with Rin. Ever. I looked at Mikuo straight into his eyes before giving him my response.

…

…

…

(Miku's POV)

I quickly scanned my surrounding before spotting Rin. She was reaching into her backpack, searching for something.

"Rin!" I hollered out a bit too loud, Rin's overly large bow twitched as she bobbed her head up from her orange-colored backpack. Once she spotted me she waved enthusiastically.

"Heya Miku!" Rin called back just as enthusiastic as she had waved. I strolled over to where she was.

"Guess what!" I exclaimed grinning widely, "I found out from Len, we have next period together!" A smile began to form on Rin's face.

"Awesome! What class it is? I can't find my schedule anywhere," she quickly zipped up her backpack and swung it over her shoulder.

"We have study hall next! Come on! I'll show you!" I grabbed her arm and dragged her away. Out of the corner of my eye I saw my brother heading for us, I hastened my pace.

(Rin's POV)

Once Miku and I entered the room it was the exact same thing as French class.

Chaos.

Oh look at that, we even have the same teacher.

It turns out that everyone I knew was also in that class.

Including Mikuo.

The moment I looked at him he smiled at me and waved. Miku on the other hand, decided for us to sit on the opposite side of the room. I looked over at Mikuo and shrugged, he rolled his eyes at his sister in return.

Miku sat down and I followed her in suit. I took one last look at Mikuo before turning my attention over to Miku. "Kay, so what's up?"

Miku grinned as she started in to a long story, which would probably take all period.

Yup, I was right. I thought, moments before the bell rang, signaling the period was over.

I looked once more into my backpack in hopes of find my schedule.

I still couldn't find it, but Miku informed me that Len would probably know what class I had next.

Len ended up telling me that I had Biology next and offered to walk me to class. I was about to accept when Mikuo offered instead. I looked between Len and Mikuo, not sure what to do. Len hesitated for a bit before allowing Mikuo to take me. His reason?

Mikuo was the only person I knew who had this class with me.

The short walk to Biology was no short of awkward.

Awkward silence.

Awkward Stares.

Awkward all around.

I was glad when we entered Biology, because some of the chat would make things less awkward.

Well, that is until Mikuo asked me if he could talk to me after school.

Other than that though, Class seemed to go by pretty fast. Except for the fact, that the teacher scares the heck out of me and apparently everyone else too.

I was mentally and physically worn out from the day. The only thing that kept me going was the fact that we had one period left, and that it wasn't a class that I was half-bad at.

English

When I walked into the room alongside with Miku, everything seemed pretty quiet.

Most of the students were either whispering, or just flat out sleeping on their desks.

Miku went ahead and sat me next to her as she took the desk to the left of it.

All silence was disrupted as the teacher walked into the room.

Choruses of, "Meiko!" "Meiko-sensei" and "Mama Meiko!" rang out. I looked at Miku to ask what was going on, but she had left me and went up to give the teacher a hug, before returning to her desk.

I looked at Miku as if she asked me if Pokémon were real, "What's going on?"

Miku smirked in response, "This happens every day, Meiko is our favorite teacher. No one calls her by her surname though. If you do, it's kind of weird."

I looked at the students surrounding the teacher and shrugged. Miku spoke up again, "Trust me you'll like her. She acts more like a mom than a teacher. Plus she's just funny all around."

I nodded my head slowly, as I tried to imagine a teacher fitting all the categories that Miku had put this one in.

Things didn't match at all.

I leaned back into my chair as I retrieved my book from my bag and continued reading where I had left off this morning, until the clamor died down.

Once it did the teacher walked straight up to my desk, without me noticing, and slammed her hands down on my desk as hard as she could. Which resulted in, scaring the crap out of me and my book clattering onto the floor.

She glared at me before she started yelling, "What are you doing reading an unassigned book in my class!" I looked over at Miku for help, but she only winked at me.

Miku's such a liar… This teacher's scary.

"WELL?" the teacher looked furious as she continued.

I gulped and cowered in fear, I could feel my face burning up.

The teacher than began to chuckle softly, I thought I misheard it until she started roaring with laughter, as did the rest of the class.

Including Miku.

I looked around the class, in confusion. What had I done that was so funny?

Meiko roared out between her hysterical laughter, "PFFT! D-did you see her f-face! That was p-priceless!" she then stopped for a few moments for her laughter to die down, as well as the rest of the class.

I was still terrified out of my life, until Meiko whispered in my ear, "Welcome to 7th period English."

I swiftly turned around in my seat, as Meiko walked towards the teacher desk and pulled out the Teacher's Edition Literature book. When we made eye contact she winked at me and smiled.

I then turned to Miku for an explanation, but she was still roaring in laughter. As was the rest of the class.

"Okay class! Settle down! Turn to page 958 in your textbooks and we'll continue reading Romeo and Juliet." The class than grew silent and clatters of books rang throughout the classroom.

I silently reached for a Literature book and grabbed the abandoned Uglies book on the floor.

…

I still am not sure whether I'll enjoy this class or not.

After school Mikuo came up to me and tapped on my shoulder, "Hi, Mikuo." I greeted as best I could manage.

Mikuo only smiled at me before speaking, "Hey, how would you like it, if we went out to lunch together this weekend?"

Hope you enjoyed! Don't forget to review! :D and be proud of me xD I finally updated within a week!

Yayyyy meee xD lol
