"Rin, its time to wake up!" Rin's roommate, Gumi Megpoid said as she entered her room. She blinked when she saw the blond haired girl already awake, sitting near the window and was staring out the window in a daze. "Well, this is surprising." Gumi said, snapping Rin out of her trance. "Its rare for you to be awake this early especially without me to wake you up."

Rin smiled warily. "Yeah, I guess so." She muttered before she glanced out the window again. "Is there something wrong?" Gumi asked when she noticed her expression. Rin quickly shook her head. "No, its nothing."

Gumi raised a brow but said nothing. "Anyways we better hurry before we're late for school...Ann-sensei will kill us if we're late for class even by a second " Rin laughed and moved towards her bathroom while Gumi went back to her room to get dress.

Rin wasn't excited to go to school. Besides the fact she disliked those long boring lectures and such, there was another reason in why she wasn't too eager to go to school.

After a quick shower, Rin looked at her uniform and scrunched her nose in distaste. It was light blue sailor style uniform but the skirt was a bit too short for her taste, in Rin's opinion but she had no choice since its the school's official uniform.

She quickly got dressed until her phone began to ring. She glanced at her phone and gave a small frown before she walked over to her phone that sat on her bed and saw that there was message from a certain teal haired boy.

From: Mikuo Hatsune

To: Rin Kagami

Hey Rin! Its Morning, you should hurry before you get late. See you at school! ^^

Rin's lips slowly curled upwards as she read the message. Mikuo had always been sweet which is what Rin loved about him. How she first met him wasn't a very pleasant way especially when it ended up with her, covered with bruises.

Flashback

Rin sighed as she walked home after an exhausting day in school. Gumi had club activities so Rin was left all alone. She grunted as her legs felt like lead to her. Once she get back, she was so going to have a nice, quiet bath then going to bed straight after.

She nodded at the thought and looked forward to it until she suddenly heard a cry from behind her. "Look out!" Rin looked behind her but it was too late.

CRASH!

Rin fell to the ground with a painful thud and groaned, parts of her limbs were tangled with whatever crashed into her and grunted in pain. Yup, she was going feel that tomorrow.

Rin looked down to see the thing she was tangled in was a bike and she tried pulling herself out then rubbed her sore legs that were now bruised. She heard another groaned next to her. She glanced at her side and felt her heart skip a beat. It was boy, probably around her age with teal hair, laying at the side before he sat up and rubbed his head.

He was using her school's uniform so he was a student of her school but what's more, he was very handsome.

Rin couldn't help but stare at him for a moment. "Um...are you okay miss?" The boy asked as he finally looked up and stared back at her. He had such pretty eyes as well... She mentally shook her head and glared at him. "No, I'm not okay." She said. "You crashed into me with a bike!"

He looked at his bike before turning back to her and smiled sheepishly. "Right, sorry about that." He picked himself up and brushed the dirt off his uniform before offering his hand towards her.

Rin frowned and stared at his hand. Half of her was ordering her to slap his hand away and tell him off while the other half was saying it was fine and take this handsome stranger's hand. In the end, the latter won and she slowly took his hand as he pulled her up.

She frowned at the scratches and bruises on her legs and knees. The boy noticed them as well and panicked. "Ah! You're hurt! I'm so sorry, its my fault." He bowed deeply. Rin blinked and shook her head. "Oh no...Its fine." She said. "I'll be okay...um, I'll be going then."

She didn't know why she suddenly felt awkward and turned away but then she cringed as the injuries on her legs suddenly throbbed in protest making it a bit harder to walk. "You're not okay." The boy started and went to pick up his fallen bike. "I could..." He paused hesitantly. "Take you back to your house...if it okay with you."

Rin froze and looked back at the boy as he scratched his head with a bright red blush on his cheeks. "I...don't know." She said. "After seeing what you did...I rather take my chances with walking."

"Hey, that was an accident." He exclaimed. "It won't happen again." Rin narrowed her eyes at him. "You sure? Because the last thing I need is a new set of bruises to take care of."

"Jeez, trust me alright?" He said before straddled his bike. "I'll be more careful this time so...?" Rin bit the inside of her cheek as she pondered on what to do before she reluctantly walked towards him. He gave a satisfied smile as she sat behind him. "You better...wrap your arms around me so you wouldn't fall."

She looked up at him in surprise then her face went cherry red. She slowly wrapped her arms around his waist and after a few minutes, they began to ride away. Rin close her eyes at the pleasant feeling of the breeze passing by her. And now that she thought of it, this boy was quite lean and she could smell the scent of his cologne as well. "By the way, I didn't catch your name. My name's Mikuo, Mikuo Hatsune."

Rin blinked and smiled a bit. "Mine's Rin Kagami."

End of Flashback

After that day, they became close to each other and were like best friends until Mikuo suddenly confessed to her which is how they ended up like this.

Rin genuinely loved Mikuo and the guilt was practically eating her up. "Rin, are you done yet?" Her train of thoughts broke when she heard Gumi knocking at her door. "Ah- Yeah I'm coming." She picked up her bag and opened the door.

"Took your time huh?" Gumi huffed and Rin grinned. "Sorry so whats for breakfast?" She wondered as she walked passed her and down the stairs.

"Well, its the usual."

"Bread and eggs again?"

"Seriously, Teto can't get enough of bread." Gumi sighed as they entered the kitchen. They instantly noticed their other roommate and best friend was standing in front of the stove, cooking. "Morning!" The red haired girl greeted, her pigtails that oddly looked like drills bounced as she turned to look at them.

"Morning Teto." Rin greeted and went to take her seat with Gumi sitting next to her. "Ne, Rin-chan someone called this morning." Teto started as she set down their plates filled with most bread and a bit of egg (To which Gumi scrunched her nose)

"Oh really?" Rin said absentmindedly as she took a slice of bread from her plate and biting into it. "Yeah, and it was actually for you."

"Uh-huuuh."

"It was actually Shion-san."

Rin instantly choked at the name and was coughing violently. Gumi quickly patted her back while Teto went to grab her some water. Rin gulped down the water and sighed. "You okay?" Gumi asked worriedly. Rin nodded. "Yeah, just peachy." She rasped. "So um...why did Kaito-san called?"

"Ah! Well, he was just wondering if you were awake and he wanted to say good morning to you."

"Why didn't he just call me through my phone?"

Teto shrugged. "Don't know, didn't ask but its kind of cute of him to call here through the residential phone." She then started snickering. "You won't believe how nervous he sound when he was asking for you."

Rin looked down at her plate and smiled a bit. "Yeah, cute.." She mumbled but then she frowned. Kaito had always been sweet and loving that sometimes it hurts to watch especially with her circumstances. Kaito was the kind of person, any girl would die to have which makes it all the more painful for Rin since she felt like she didn't deserve him.

How she met Kaito was a lot more different with how she met Mikuo. It started with a little game...

Flashback

Rin has no idea why she was playing baseball with Gumi in the middle of the park, at a sunny afternoon. They were suppose to be out here shopping for new clothes which Rin wasn't so fond of but then why the heck was she holding silver bat and Gumi at a respectable distance, with a baseball at hand?

She wasn't complaining...well, not entirely but still, its just weird. "How did we ended up like this?" Rin thought out loud. Gumi shrugged. "Truthfully, I have no idea too but you kept complaining about shopping and such."

"Just don't see the point in buying frilly clothes, It makes me itch."

"I agree but Teto would throw a fit whenever we dont have something...girly."

Rin laughed. "Very true. Anyway just throw the ball already." Gumi nodded and readied herself. Rin swung the bat over her shoulder and glared at her direction. Gumi threw the ball at top speed and surprisingly Rin swung the bat and hit it at its mark.

WHACK!

The ball sailed into the air and Rin cheered in triumphant but it was soon short lived as the ball came down and hit a person that was reading on a bench on the back of his head. Rin dropped the bat in shock while Gumi just stared at the person who was now holding his aching head.

Before Rin knew it, Gumi made a dash for it. "You're on your own Rin!" She exclaimed before disappearing from view. Rin was speechless at how her so-called best friend abandoned her like that. She held back the many curses she wanted to yell at her friend and bit her lip when she glanced back at the person.

Rin took a deep breath and approached the person hesitantly. "Er...Are you okay sir?" She started and for some odd reason, she felt a slight deja vu with this scene. "I-I'm fine..." The person groaned and Rin cringed at his raspy tone. She was so going to kill Gumi for leaving her like this.

Before she could say anymore, the person turned around and Rin's voice was suddenly caught in her throat. It was a man with dark blue hair and bright blue eyes that match it, he wore a light blue muffler around his neck which made Rin wonder why he was wearing that in the middle of summer.

He looked to be a bit older than her from his mature looks but Rin knew one thing and that was he was very good looking.

Rin opened and closed her mouth like a fish out of water while the man rubbed his head lightly and stared at her in confusion. "U-Um, I'm so sorry for uh...hitting you at the er head. It was a complete accident!" She said quickly when she finally found her voice.

"Its fine...no harm done its a good thing you didn't hit me hard enough to get me a concussion." He gave a small laugh, trying to make a joke but Rin just smiled awkwardly. "I'm really sorry."

"Like I said its alright." He repeated and stood up before bending down to pick up the baseball. "I was just shock at the sudden attack." He offered the ball back to Rin, which she took nervously. She blushed when his fingers grazed her hands lightly.

She bit the inside of her cheek. "So um, allow me to make it up to you." Rin blurred out, much to her and the stranger's surprise. "Ah, well um, er..." She mumbled. "I-If its okay with you, I could buy some ice cream..."

The handsome stranger's eyes lit for a moment at the word 'ice cream'. 'He must really like ice cream.' She thought. The man pondered about it for a moment before nodding. "Sure, I wouldn't mind but are you sure you want me to treat me?"

Rin wasn't exactly sure she really wanted to treat a complete stranger but she wanted to make it up to him so it was okay right? "Yeah, I mean I did hit you in the head with a baseball." She said. The man chuckled. "Well, since you're treating then who am I to reject a pretty girl's offer."

Rin's eyes widened and she went bright red. The man blinked then a light blush suddenly formed on his cheeks when he realized what he just said.

"Er...anyways I know an ice cream parlor not far from here." He said, hoping to change the topic. "Its cheap but the ice cream there is great! So lets hurry." Rin nodded and the two began walking together in silence. Rin still couldn't get her mind off on what he just said. Pretty. He called her pretty.

She felt embarrassed and giddy inside at being complimented by a very handsome guy. The man paused for a moment, causing them to stop mid-way. "That reminds me, I still don't know your name miss." He said and stuck out his hand towards her. "My name's Kaito Shion."

Rin looked at his hand then back to him. She slowly took his hand and she gasped lightly at how perfect fit they were. She blushed as she shook his hand. "Its Rin, Rin Kagami."

End of Flashback

After that, Rin soon found out that he was a college student from a nearby school and the funny thing was his school was just a couple of blocks away from hers.

The ironic part was that he wasn't the one who confessed to her, it was actually Rin, herself...Well, she wouldn't really call it a 'confession' since she wasn't planning on confessing in the first place. She just blurred out that she liked him when she was suddenly being pressured by Teto, who somehow found out about Kaito.

He was so nice and cute when he was embarrassed that Rin couldn't get enough of him and the guilt would strangle her all the time.

Rin realized the way she met those two was so cliche and only read them in shoujo manga and saw them in movie. Guess they can happen in real life but then again, how else were they able make stories like that in the first place?

"I'm going ahead." Rin said and stood up. "Eh? But you're not done with breakfast." Teto frowned. "At least, wait for us to finish so we can leave all together."

"Sorry guys but there's something I have to do." Rin apologized before she picked up her bag. "I'll see you guys at school." The two nodded as Rin walked out of the kitchen towards the front door. As she put on her shoes, she sighed. It was a miracle that they don't know about her...other relationship.

Those two would somehow knew everything when she was trying to hide something but the fact that they only know about Kaito and not Mikuo was a mystery to Rin though she was thankful that they didn't know a thing about it, in the same time she felt rather terrible.

Rin stepped out, shivering a bit from the cold breeze that nip at her skin and took a deep breath, taking in the fresh air. She stretched and walked onto the sidewalk, she glanced at her two storied house for a moment, expecting Gumi and Teto to come out before then she turned around and continued walking to school.

The reason she was living with her two best friends was because her parents were in a business trip overseas along with Gumi's parents who coincidentally had the same jobs as her parents. Teto on the other hand, didn't really explained why she suddenly wanted to move in with them but Rin didn't mind and so they didn't ask.

Before she noticed it, she was already at school, much to her dismay. Rin groaned and she sluggishly walked pass the gate but to her surprise, she saw a very familiar person, leaning against one of the trees and staring at the sky. Mikuo instantly noticed her and grinned widely. "Rin-chan!" He exclaimed.

Rin blinked as she approached the teal haired boy. "Have you been...waiting for me?" Mikuo just continued grinning. "What do you think?" Rin blushed. But deep down...she was the worst to have someone as loving as him. "You're...so weird." She muttered. Mikuo laughed then kissed her gently on her forehead and whispering. "I love you Rin-chan." Rin looked up and smiled painfully.

The guilt still twisting in her heart.

He knew this was wrong but he really didn't feel like attending boring lessons.

Len walked through the city with a sigh. This wasn't the first time he cut classes and this wouldn't be the last. He didn't bother wearing his uniform and just strolled out with his casual clothes instead. The streets were awfully busy as people pass by him. He often noticed women glancing at his direction and would giggle or stare.

Len knew he was attractive but he wasn't narcissistic. Well, not to the point where he would brag endlessly about it. Anyways it was only a matter of time before he gets caught for cutting class but for now, he might as well enjoy his free time.

His phone began to ring, making him pause. He took out his phone and saw that it was a text from Neru.

From: Neru Akita

To: Len Kagamine

Hey where are you? Don't tell me you're skipping class again.

Len smiled a bit and chuckled. Neru had always time to text even though they were in the middle of class. Len could never understand why she was so obsessed with the phone of hers but he respected that since Neru seemed to love her phone to death.

In fact, her phone was the whole reason he was able to meet Neru. He could remember it like it was just yesterday..

Flashback

He couldn't believe his best friend, Rinto had made him do an errand for him. That lazy bum had barged into his front door and was simply lazing around his home, on his couch and then tells him to buy some snacks at the mall? Cheap bastard.

Len groaned as he stomped through the mall, looking for that damn place Rinto was telling him about. This was truly abusing his generosity as his best friend. Once he gets back he so going to kill that damn son of a-

Clatter.

Len paused when he felt his foot bump into something and he looked down to see a yellow phone on the ground. He blinked as he bent down to pick it up. Did someone drop this? Maybe he'll find some clue if he check whats insi-

"Thief!"

BAM!

Len yelped when he suddenly found himself on the ground and with weight against his stomach. He grunted in pain as he sat up to find out whoever it was that tackled him. He soon realized it was a girl who might be around his age, with long blond hair that was tied into a side ponytail. Her thin arms were wrapped securely around his waist as she looked up at him. Blue eyes stared back at another pair of blue eyes.

Len gulped. He had to admit...she was really pretty...but the way she was glaring at him was starting to freak him out a bit.

"Give me back my phone thief." She snarled. He was too speechless to react at first before he mentally shook his head. "Uh Miss, I think you're misunderstanding here."

"You're holding my phone hostage! That more than enough reason for me to know you thief!"

"Miss, you're mistaken! I just picked it up."

"Lies! I was looking at for my precious phone until I saw you holding it!"

"For the last time, I just picked it up! I didn't steal it!"

Apparently, they were making a huge scene in the middle of the mall that they didn't notice a crowd of people circled around them and stared. Len was the first to noticed and panicked for a moment. "H-Hey lady, I think we should um stop right now."

"Shut up! Why should I listen to you?"

"Look around you."

The girl stopped and looked around to see a huge crowd, watching them. The girl blushed deep red and quickly got off him. Len stood up as well and looked at the crowd with an apologetic look. The crowd soon after seperated and once again minded their own business.

Len sighed before turning back to the girl who glared at him. "Now then, miss let me explain-"

"I don't want to hear your excuses! You phone stealing jerk."

Okay, this girl was starting to get on his nerves. "Miss, what I'm trying to say is-"

"I'm not listening to someone like yo-!"

"Will you please shut up and let me explain already, lady!" Len snapped, having enough of her stubborn attitude. The girl looked at him with a baffled expression as he sighed. "I only found your phone on the ground okay? I had no idea it was yours and was only check who it belonged."

The girl was quiet as he continued. "I had no intention of taking it in the first place so...here." He held out the phone towards her, which she took reluctantly. There was an awkward silence between them before the girl mumbled. "...rry."

"Huh?" Len stared at her in confusion. "I'm sorry okay?" She grumbled. "I've been looking for my phone for a while and when I saw you holding my phone, I thought you stole it..."

"You could've asked first before tackling me to the ground like that." Len rolled his eyes while the girl glared at him, cheeks red from embarrassment. "W-Well it was instinct! I seriously thought you stole my phone!"

"Tackling a person was an instinct? Seriously?"

"You might've ran away if I hadn't grabbed you!"

"I told you, I have no interest in taking your phone remember?"

"Well...I said I was sorry already and I did it out of reflex."

"Really?"

"Yes.."

The two stared at each other for a moment then in a few minutes, they burst in laughter as if nothing happened at all. "Haaa...Its been a while since I laughed that much." Len mused. "Me too." The girl giggled. "But again I'm really sorry."

"Nah, its fine." Len said. "By the way...my name's Len Kagamine and your name is...?"

The girl smirked. "The name's Neru Akita...Mr. Thief."

"Ugh, for the last time I'm not a thief!"

End of Flashback.

After clearing the misunderstanding, they ended up talking and walking around the mall. He learned that she was a student from his school and that they surprisingly share some of their classes. How he never noticed this...pretty girl was beyond him. They exchanged numbers and went their separate ways.

Sure, in the end Rinto was pissed off that Len didn't come back with much food like he wanted but Len was pretty much satisfied with just meeting a girl like Neru.

Neru was in fact the person who confessed to him but it wasn't the usual face-to-face confession, you'd usually see in shoujo mangas...it was more like the opposite. You wouldn't believe how surprise he was when he received that straightforward confessing...via text.

At first, he thought it was a joke but the very next day, he finally realized she was completely serious. Len couldn't help but smile in amusement at the memory of it. She was really addicted to that phone of hers.

Len didn't realize he had been walking for a while now until he looked at his watch. It was already the afternoon, if he was in school, it would probably be lunch by now. His phone suddenly rang which suprised him. He pulled out his phone and saw it was Miku calling him.

He bit his lip before he reluctantly answered. "Hello?"

"Ah! Hey Lenny! Where are you? I've been looking for you everywhere." A familiar bubbly voice said at the phone but there was something different.

"Why are you whispering?" Len asked.

"...I'm in the comfort room.."

"The comfort room? Why?"

"You know already phones aren't allowed in school. If the teachers even catches me with my phone, I'm done for."

It suddenly made Len wonder how Neru was able to get away with her phone without the teachers seeing it. "Understandable I guess."

"Anyways where are you?"

"I'm uh...not really in school."

"Eh?"

"I'm actually out here, at the city right now."

"WHAT?!"

Len cringed at the high pitched voice of Miku. He could already picture her, sitting on the toilet seat, clamping her hand to her lips for suddenly yelling. He gave a small chuckle.

"Are you cutting class again? Len-kun, we talked about this..."

"Its not really surprising you know."

"Well, yeah but Len-kun, promised to have lunch with me today...remember?"

There was a small pause. Len frowned at the disappointed tone in Miku's voice. "...Sorry." He apologized. "I forgot..."

Miku whimpered sadly at the other end and Len bit his lip, thinking fast. "Say why not I make it up to you...next week lets go to your favorite cafe, my treat."

Pause.

"You promise?" Miku muttered.

"Yeah, I promise." Len said.

"..hmmm alright but you better keep your promise."

"Yes ma'm." He smiled when Miku made a tiny sound of victory. In normal circumstances, Miku would've shouted by now. She had always been energetic and bubbly and that's what Len probably loved the most about her although when he first met her, he thought she was a runaway patient from a mental hospital or something like that.

It was definitely a rocky start especially when she fell on him...but he had to say she very pretty despite the fact she just told him- well, declared something outrageous. If he remembered correctly it was in a day like this, in an ordinary weekend...

Flashback

It wasn't unusual for Len to walk around the park. He just had too much free time. Normally, he would be out with his friends or something like that but this was actually the first time he had time for himself. Why not spend it with nature?...Okay that just so...unlike Len.

As he passed by, he heard a loud rustling from the trees causing him to pause. He looked up at the branches above him before curiously walking to the trees. He was certain he heard somethi-

"Look out!"

And the next thing he knew, he saw a figure falling from above and landed right on top of him. Len groaned as his body felt sore and the fact, something heavy was on top of him didn't help at all. He glared up at the person who was straddling him. "Hey! What heck were you-"

"You're perfect." Len blinked when heard those words and realized it was girl, around his age with long flowing teal haired that was tied up into two pigtails but appeared to be messy with bits of leaves and twigs sticking in them. Her teal eyes stared down at him as she smiled down at him. "I'm Miku Hatsune and who are you mister?"

Len stared back at her, not sure what to say as he blurted out his name without thinking. "Len Kagamine."

"Len Kagamine." She repeated then grinned. "I see, then Len-kun..." Her eyes glinted brightly as she beamed cheerfully. "Starting from today, we are going to fall in love."

"Huh?!" Okay, now he knows this girl is crazy. "What makes you think you can decide that?"

"Its going to be great! We could go on dates, talk endless about ourselves, cuddling against each other, and we could-" This girl, Miku continued on, completely ignoring what Len said. He twitched before he stood up, lifting Miku in bridal style, much to her surprise. "Ah! Oh wow, I have to say...you're really bold." Miku giggled flirtatiously...that was until Len dropped her, not at all gently. "Ouuuch! Hey! That was very rude, you meanie!" She exclaimed.

"Not as rude as telling someone you had just met that you'll both fall in love." Len groaned. "Anyways I'm leaving."

"Ah! Wait a minute!" Miku called out as the said boy turned to leave. Miku quickly picked herself up and chased after him. "You're suppose to escort the girl home!"

"Are you crazy? We just met! Go home on your own."

"Jeez! Len-kun wait up!"

End of Flashback

After that, Len thought she was completely insane and thought he'd never see her again but then he soon found out that she was studying in the same school as him and she began rambling about fate and how they were meant to be.

Seriously, she was a really weird girl but in the end, he began like her. The way she always seem to think positively and how energetic she was. Of course, she was really surprise when he finally agreed to go out with her.

But what shocked him the most was the fact...she started crying.

He fully expected her to be running around, yelling in happiness but he didn't expect her to be crying that much!

She explained that she was just so happy that the tears couldn't stop falling. Len's heart twisted painfully as he remembered that day. She really seemed happy at that time...

"-en, Len-kun! Are you listening to me?"

Len snapped out of his daze and chuckled nervously. "Sorry...what were you saying?"

"Jeez! I said we'll met up at the usual cafe after school next week alright? You better not be late again okay?"

"Yes ma'm." Len sighed then he heard some noise from the other end of the phone.

"Ah! Someone just entered the comfort room, I better go now."

"Alright." Len nodded. "I'll see you later then."

"...Len-kun." Len heard her softly mutter. "Yeah?" There was a slight pause in the air before Miku murmured in a bashful tone. "I...love you."

Len froze for a moment, his throat felt dry as he cracked a small smile. "...I love you too Miku."

With that said, he heard Miku giggle happily then the line was cut. He didn't move for a few minutes as he heard the continuous beeping of his phone. He frowned and sighed as he pulled his phone away from his ear and tucking it back to his pocket.

For a moment...he completely forgot he had two different girlfriend, both of them were the complete opposite of each other. He felt guilt twist inside his chest before he sighed again, running a hand through his hair. He really was scum...

Len looked up at the now melancholic sky that seemed to follow exactly how he felt at the moment. He better go home for now then he'll probably meet up with Neru...

'I really am the worst..' He thought bitterly as he walked into the crowd.

The rain fell quietly from the sky.
