Vocaloid School Stories-Chapter 5: Sempai
Luka P.O.V.
I was deep in my sleep, my dream was rather happy; I was with my friends in a colorful garden, eating cake. My sweet dream was interrupted by the clock's alarm.
"Luka, why did you set the alarm clock? Today is Sunday, you know," said my roommate, Lily, covering her ears with her pillow.
"Ah, sorry, I like waking up early." I got up from the bed and turned off the alarm.
"You are really strange," she moaned as took her pillow from her ears and put it below her head.
"Look who is talking!," I said proudly.
Lily was already asleep by the time I finished my sentence so she didn't answer-it was better that way, she can get pretty aggressive sometimes. I turned to see the clock; it was 6 am.
"I think it's way too early…" I muttered to myself, trying not to wake up Lily.
I tried to fall back asleep again, but I couldn't. I turned to see Lily, who had her whole body under the blankets. Lily wasn't a very good roommate, she always takes my underwear when hers are dirty or she calls her friends over until the dorm adviser manages to make them leave. She is also a very disordered and dirty person, but still, I liked her.
I took the book that was over my desk, sat on my bed and I read until 10 am. I had almost finished the book, when I saw Lily had woken up.
"Good morning," I said gently, closing my book.
"Oh, hey, bookworm," she chuckled.
"Shut up," I said angrily, taking off my pink pajamas.
"How cruel." She laughed and stretched her body.
"Let's go to the cafeteria, it should be already open by now," I said, getting into my casual attire; a sleeveless, white mini dress and black boots.
"Okay! Just let me change and comb my hair." After she finished her sentence, she jumped out from her bed and hurried to the bathroom before I could go in.
"Whatever…" I sighed.
We got ready and set out for the cafeteria at 10:40; Lily takes a lot of time combing her messy long hair.
As we opened the door I saw Miku and Rin seated with some of their classmates; I headed towards their table.
"Good morning," I bowed at them.
"Oh, good morning Luka-sempai…" Miku was looking a bit down.
"Hey, Luka-chan," Rin smiled happily.
"Oh my gosh! You are Megurine Luka-sempai?" A blonde-haired girl seated at their table with a one-sided ponytail covered her mouth in excitement.
"For real?" Another girl seated to the left of the blonde with her hair tied like drills also covered her mouth in amaze.
"Wow, Luka! I didn't know you were famous!" Rin giggled.
"Huh? You didn't know that Luka-sempai is an idol?" the blonde-haired girl screamed, amazed.
"Luka-sempai is the best from her class and she is also the captain of the Kendo club!" the drill girl said excitedly.
I laughed nervously; I knew I had some fans, but…
"Hey! Don't act as if I'm not here!" Lily complained, crossing her arms.
"Oh, yeah! Miku, Rin, you already know her, right?" I grabbed Lily's shoulder and smiled at the girls.
"Uh, yes…" Miku said, sweat dropping.
"What was your name again?" Rin asked carelessly.
Lily's face became blank.
"Oh! Now I remember! You are the strange girl that fainted because of a hemorrhage!" Rin said happily.
"Ah, yes! Your name was… Lindys?" Miku asked naively.
"It's Lily…" she said quietly with a shocked face.
"Right!" Rin gave her a thumbs-up sign.
"My name is Akita Neru!" the blonde girl said and stretched out her arm to me for a handshake.
"And I am Kasane Teto!" She also held her hand out at me. I gave both of them my hands, shook, and then Lily and I took a seat with them.
When we finished breakfast, Neru and Drills went to their dorm and Lily said she would go hang out with some friends.
"Hey, Miku, Rin, we should go take a stroll on the school gardens, today is such a nice day!" I invited them happily.
"Oh, yes, but we must do something first." Miku smiled at me and got up from the table.
"Really?" Rin asked, confused.
"Yes, we must visit that person." Miku smiled stiffly.
"Ah, yes!" Rin got up, quickly. "Sorry Luka, we'll see you in the main school entrance in an hour." She bowed and they both left.
"I wonder what they are up to," I muttered and looked down.
I tried to walk outside, but there were still many people in the cafeteria, so it was difficult to walk. As I tried to make my way through the ocean of students, I overheard something some girls were talking about.
"For real?"
"Yeah, they say he was sent to the infirmary."
"Knowing Gakupo, Kaito must be really hurt right now…"
My chest started aching.
"Kaito…" I muttered and scurried to the entrance. I started running the fastest I could towards the infirmary.
"Where are you going?" I heard someone say behind me. I stopped and turned to see who it was.
"You…" I said, looking at the purple haired individual right in front me.
"It's dangerous to run in the hallways," he said, turning away.
"Wait!" I screamed loudly to stop him.
"Yes?" He turned his face to see me.
"What did you do to Kaito?" I said with sudden tears rolling over my cheeks.
"I just taught him a lesson," he said quietly.
"You idiot! He is my friend! I hate you!" I shouted to him and started racing towards the infirmary again.
I kept on running, and when I finally arrived I slammed the infirmary's door open and saw Kaito laying down on a hospital cot, sleeping and full of wounds. Miku and Rin were seated next to his bed.
"Luka-sempai? What are you doing here?" Miku turned to ask me with a surprised face.
"This is the person you had to visit?" I asked them coldly, looking down.
"Luka-chan, we will explain this to you outside," Rin said, taking me out from the infirmary.
They walked me to the school gardens; we took a seat on one of the wood benches, near the rose maze; called like that because it was full of roses and it was easy to get lost.
"What are you going to explain me?" I asked them with tears in my eyes. They both looked down.
"Tell me!" I screamed angrily at them.
"You see, yesterday, when we returned from hanging out, we saw a guy named Gakupo attacking Kaito... He was screaming something about leaving someone alone," Miku explained. My eyes, red from crying turned big as plates."We managed to stop the fight, but… he had already been slashed by a katana many times, so we took him to the infirmary."
Rin said, patting my back, "It was already late and we didn't know he was a friend of yours, that's why we didn't tell you."
"Ah! But don't worry! The nurse said he will be alright by Tuesday!" Miku said happily, trying to calm me down.
"I see, sorry for freaking out earlier," I apologized.
"Don't worry, it must have been very shocking," Miku said.
"Yes, right now you shouldn't worry! He will be alright soon!" Rin smiled happily.
"Telling them the truth won't be a good idea, I don't want them to get involved with Gakupo and my past..."I thought.
"Now we should go to the rose maze! I have never gone in!" Rin said excitedly, getting up from the bench.
"And while we are there you girls can tell me who was your date last night," I laughed.
"We told you it's a secret!" Miku giggled.
"Aw, come on, tell me!" I begged Miku.
"NEVER!" Rin screamed angrily. I laughed hard at her reaction.
"Wow Luka, you change your emotions really quickly, a moment ago you were crying," Miku noted.
"That's because both of you are so cute!" I said and pulled the both to a hug.
"Hey, let me go!" Rin said, trying to get off me.
"Luka-san, you are hugging us very hard; it's difficult to breath," Miku said.
"Sorry, sorry," I apologized, I still didn't release them.
"LET ME GO!" Rin screamed.
I stopped hugging them and had a good laugh, and then we went into the maze. It was so fun, I wish I could stay like this with them forever…
