A/N: Ok, so I just noticed that my chapter titles aren't the best. They are all based on this one tiny point at the end... But in my defense, I just really suck at making titles c:
Again, thanks to everyone who reviewed ^w^
Hehe, ima start doing POVs just because I really need to put Len's side of the story in to make sense. I'll try to keep it simple though, just Rin and Len POV. ^-^
Anyhoo, here we go!
Rin POV
The next morning, I woke up to the sound of my alarm clock blaring in my ears. It woke up the rest of the guys too.
After I got ready, I walked down to math class with Len. I tried making small talk with Len, but he wouldn't respond. Then I tried a new aspect.
"So... um, Len, what was that note you gave me last night?" I waited for a response, but there was none. Sighing, I gave up talking with him. Without my fruitless efforts of conversation, I could hear everything that everyone was talking. I was picking up bits and pieces of my name followed by bursts of laughter. Nervous, I walked faster with my head down until I got to class. Even there, I heard people gossiping about me. I was confused, really really confused, so I decided to confront Len about what was going on.
After all my morning classes, I hurried after Len to get to lunch.
"Len, what is this? Why is everyone talking about me and giving me funny looks?" I asked him.
"It's nothing, I'll tell you later," he stated plainly. Something about how he said it made me feel unsettled, but I didn't pay attention to the feeling.
"That's fine," I replied. We went through the rest of our classes. I heard quite a few more mentions of my name, which me feel uneasy.
"What a long day... Really though, why was everyone looking at me so funny?" I seriously had no clue as to what was going on. Was it good? Bad? I had no idea. Sighing, I walked to the elevator to get back to my dorm. When I arrived at my destination, I saw that my phone was flashing. A text. It wasn't that rare that I got one, but there was just this element of curiosity inside of me so that I couldn't wait to find out what was said if I knew there was a message waiting for me. I rushed to my phone, unlocked it, and checked to see who it was from. Unknown Sender. Hm... Was it Meiko? If it was, how would she have gotten my number? I read the text, and froze.
?: you whore
?: we know what uve been doing w/ len
What did they mean? What was I doing with Len? All I did was walk to classes with him and share a dorm with him, but that wasn't really my fault, was it? I replied to their message.
Me: What do you mean? I haven't been doing anything with him at all...
An instant reply.
?: dont try to hide it rin we know that uve been sleeping with him
What the hell?! Sleeping with him?! No, that never had happened, and I had never wished it happened. I can't believe I was being accused of doing awkward things on my third day of high school! I barely even knew the goddamn guy!
Me: I haven't been doing anything, I swear! I have no idea what you're talking about, but all I know is that I'm innocent!
?: shut up! dont try lying, we know what ur up 2!
Me: I'm not lying! Who the hell are you, anyway, and why are you accusing me of doing this?!
?: ur lying.
Me: I'm not.
Sighing, I closed my phone. I knew that I should ignore this, but I couldn't help but feel a little bit queasy. I had no idea what this person was up to, or even who they were. And the fact that they referred to their self as "we"... I collapsed onto my bed. Immediately after, I got up and decided to go to the garden. I took the key with me and went to the elevator. In the hallway, I passed Len but I didn't register it completely.
Len POV
I passed Rin in the hallway, but I didn't stop to talk to her. What point was there in talking to her anyway, I mean, what would we even talk about? Certainly we wouldn't talk about that and I couldn't just stop her to rant about the deliciousness of bananas... Hm... I wonder when I'll tell her about that...
(Flashback to Yesterday - Lunch - Restaurant)
"Neru, I think we should break up," I told her simply.
"Us? Break up? You've got to be kidding me," she snorted. "We were made for each other."
"No, I don't think we were. So, we're through," I explained. Then she started screaming. Everyone looked our way, but I didn't mind the attention, especially from the ladies.
"I WILL NOT LET YOU BREAK UP WITH ME! IF WE ARE EVER THROUGH, WHICH WE WILL NEVER BE, I WILL BE THE ONE DUMPING YOU! NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND!" She shrieked. Her voice was so high-pitched I had to cringe.
"Neru, relax, this is nothing to get so worked up over," I tried to calm her down, and failed miserably.
"NO, I WILL NOT RELAX! WE ARE STAYING TOGETHER, AND THAT IS FINAL!"she screamed.
"No, we aren't," I told her. Then a thin smile formed on her lips.
"If you break up with me, I'll tell the whole school that you sleep with Rin. She'll seem like a whore," she purred.
"Fine with me, Rin's none of my concern anyway," I laughed, amused that she thought Rin mattered to me. She looked disappointed for a moment, but then her expression was replaced by pure malice.
"You'll regret this..." She chuckled darkly. I sighed, not caring.
End of Flashback
I felt a slight pang of guilt as I remembered that scene, but quickly dismissed it. I had better things to do than worry about Rin right now. Maybe I'll go visit the garden, a lot of people have said good things about it.
"Sure, let's go," I said to myself. I sat up, groaning, then walked to the elevator. I pressed the button for the eleventh floor. I walked out of the elevator into the empty hallway, then quickly located the door to the garden. It was slightly ajar, so I pushed it open. Inside, I heard a beautiful voice singing. I crept up to the source, careful to make no noise. To my surprise, it was Rin.
Rin POV
Quietly, I sang to myself. I let go of what had happened earlier, and let myself be as serene as possible. As I finished the song, I heard a single clap echo through what was supposed to be the empty garden, save for me. Apparently not.
"Who's there?" I asked, worried.
"Me..." I heard in response. Then a familiar blonde head rose from the bushes.
"Wha- LEN?! What are you doing here? I locked the door, didn't I? Oh, please tell me I locked the door!" I groaned. What if someone else came in?
"Nope, it was open when I came in," he replied.
"W-were you being followed?" I stuttered, praying to myself that he wasn't.
"I don't think so?" He said.
I breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly, a group of five girls rose out of the bushes. I froze, then glared accusingly at Len. He simply shrugged back.
"What a marvelous performance, Rin! Your voice was so hideous, you sounded like a dying grandma! Even more material to spread..." A yellow haired girl smiled maliciously.
"N-Neru?" I looked to her left. "Meiko? Gumi? Luka? M-Miku?" I whimpered. I watched as they all glared at me.
"Rin, how could you say those things about us? I thought we were friends!" Luka shouted. It was the first time in a while I had heard her raise her voice.
"I-I didn't say anything about you!" I defended myself.
"Girls, don't believe her. I HEARD her say it, in the flesh!" Meiko said to them. Neru smirked at me.
"Rin, you're a jerk. Don't talk to us, we don't want to be your friends," Miku said, giving me a cold stare. "I speak for everyone in this building."
"I'm too disgusted to even speak to you," Gumi snarled. I felt tears welling at the corners of my eyes. Before they could start to fall, I dashed out of the garden, leaping over everything that stood in my way. Before I left, I took one last glace at Len, who was staring at the ground. I saw Neru making her way towards him. Then I turned, and sprinted back to our dorm.
Len POV
Should I have done something to help Rin? Too late, I guess. Not like it's my problem anyway. I'll just let her go.
"Neru, get off me!" I yelled.
Rin POV
This was pathetic. I was just dissed by my former best friends, and now, here I was, sitting in bed, punching a rectangular blob of polyester stuffed with cotton.
"I HATE THEM ALL!" Punch.
"I WISH I NEVER CAME TO THIS STUPID SCHOOL!" Punch.
"WHY DOES MY LIFE ALWAYS HAVE TO END UP LIKE THIS?!" Punch. I thought back to third grade, when I first met Miku. Everyday, I would constantly get bullied for something, anything. Even now, it hadn't changed. Only this time, no one was there to stick up for me, like Miku did.
I looked over at my alarm clock. 7:00. I really wasn't up for going to the restaurant. I ordered room service, ate it, showered, and then went to bed, thinking one last thought.
Tomorrow, we have to turn in our song. I hope we fail.
