Today was a day that Rin decided to not visit the library. She felt that all the two males there cared about was that little pigtailed annoyance. During lunch she stopped by, offered food, and asked if anyone wanted or needed her help. Miku would say she would, but then one of the drooling puppies would do it for her. Rin sighed.

"I guess I won't have to stop by after school. Hey Len, don't forget you're eating dinner at my house tonight, so you have to walk home with me." The blond said as she watch the two dogs fighting over the attention of the 'meat'.

"Ne, Rin why don't you stay and help out? You haven't these past few days. You've left poor old me with this two!" Miku giggled cheerfully.

"Yeah Rin! That way I can stay and help out too!" Len rushed into the conversation.

"No, no! Len you must go home and help with that dinner that Lin will be making!" Kaito interrupted as well.

"Kaito! It's Rin! Jeeze, I'm gone for a few days and you forgot my name?! Maybe I should stay..." She huffed.

"Yes!" Both Miku and Len squealed while Kaito sighed a little so Rin sent him a glare but quickly fixed it when he looked at her.

After their little conversation, Rin went back to class since she had already had plans with her other friends. The bell rang, class began, time passed, nothing different. School finally ended so Rin walked slowly to the library, she was in no rush, Len bolted out of the class as soon as the bell rang so she was by herself.

'I can't believe Len! He's only known Miku for like a week and he's head over heels for her! She's not even that pretty....' She though as she went to her locker to gather some books. 'I mean... I'm like ten times prettier than her.' Rin had stopped in the restroom and was looking in the large mirror. She imaged Miku standing next to her. 'Well... Miku is more busty... And she has amazingly long hair... Her eyes are beautiful too... Much better than my dull ones... Plus he skin looks like porcelain. The way she talk sound... ugh as much as I don't want to admit it... like satin or silk. Her posture is very lady like too...' Rin sighed. "I guess I just loose to her..."

"To who?" Came a very familiar voice from one of the stalls that had just flushed.

"To.." Rin was about to finish when she saw who had come out. "T-t-t-that new.... Pop star! Her voice is amazing. Much, much better than mine. If I were in a contest with her, I'd surely loose!" Said the blond making up the story on the spot.

"Ah, you mean Luka Megurine! She's a favorite of mine too! Rin, I bet you could sing just as well as her!"

"No... I really can't..."

"Sing for me then!~" She said ecstatically.

"Uh..."

"Do it!"

Uhm..."

Miku gave her a look as if expecting something.

"If I were a boy

I think I could understand

How it feels to love a girl

I swear I'd be a better man

I'd listen to her

Cause I know how it hurts

When you lose the one you wanted

Cause he's taken you for granted

And everything you had got destroyed

But you're just a boy "

Sang the blond, and Miku just stood there in the bathroom clapping hysterically.

"That was amazing Rin! Plus that's one of my favorite songs. It's such a sad song."

Rin gave a smug little grin and thanked her. 'Heh, I bet I sound better than her at singing if she's complimenting me this much.'

"Hey Miku, why don't you sing it?"

"Oh me? I couldn't... It's be way took embarrassing!" She said waving her hand in the air as if talking nonsense.

"Go ahead! It's just you and me in here!" 'Plus my cell phone, ready to record your crappy voice.'

"Alright I guess I could..." She replied as she sang the exact same lyrics as Rin, only sounding much better. Rin did a double take and stood there with her mouth hanging open.

"...Bad?" Was all she heard.

"Huh?"

"Was it bad, Rin?" Miku asked with a bit of a sad look on her face.

"That was.." She shifted her gaze to the tiled ground, feeling like she was kneeling before a newly crowned queen. "Amazing." She said with a hint of spite in her voice.

"Really?" Miku's face lit up once again.

"Yeah..."

Miku looked at her wristwatch and noticed the time.

"Oh dear, we better get to the library."

"Yeah..."

"Why don't I work with you today. I love Kaito and Len's... enthusiastic-ness but I haven't gotten to work with you at all. It'll be fun!" Miku's cheerfulness was starting to really effect Rin.

"Uhm... But Len would probably get upset."

"He would?" She questioned, with a faint hue of pink across her face.

"Yeah, all he ever does at home is say how amazing you are." Rin replied as they passed her classroom.

"R-really?"

"Yup."

"Wait.... you two live together?!"

"No... we're just neighbors."

"Oh." Miku sighed, relieved.

"Hmm?" But Miku didn't hear it as the two entered the library and were greeted loudly by the males. At least Miku was, Rin only got a small wave from Kaito. Len came up almost instant and was ready to get to work with Miku but she stopped him.

"Len, I'm going to work with Rin today, okay?" Again she gave one of her award winning smiles. (If there was an award to win.)

"B-but..." Whined the male blond.

"Len you can work with her. I remembered that there was something I needed to work on at home so just hurry to my house when you're done and we'll get working on dinner." As much as Rin 'loved' Kaito, she knew that she wasn't really wanted there, at least not by Len or Kaito. As she began to exit, she turned around to wave goodbye one last time for the day to see the only person with a concerned look on their face was the one she had despised so much-- Miku.

It didn't take Rin too long to get home. She greeted her step-mother then retreated to her room to read.

After the general left, the room was silent for some time until the Prince decided on a very important matter.

"I want you to personally get rid of this woman." Said the Princess, glaring at the ground.

"Y-your Majesty..?" Replied the servant, unable to understand what his mistress had just ordered.

"I said get rid of that woman. Can you not hear?"

"B-but...!"

"But what? Do you love her? I though you had said that you never met her? Hm? Which is true? Huh? Which is it?!" The Princess' voice began to get shaky.

"Your... Majesty..." Her questioning was making the Servant doubt her actions.

"If you love her, than leave! I do not want some unreliable servant to be with me. Only dogs with loyalty may sleep with their master." Screamed the Princess, feeling the hot sting of tears run down her cheeks.

"..." He could do nothing but walk to his master and knee before her, feeling his eyes well with tears now, too. Soon the Princess was out of her chair and on the floor too, sobbing her heart out while tightly clutching onto her Servant.

"Please... Please... Don't.... Leave Me.... I.... I need you..." She cried in between sobs. This actually surprised the Servant, never had his mistress ever said she needed someone.

"Yes, Your Majesty." As he choked back his own tears and began wiping away hers. Right now, he could do nothing but give the Princess kind words and comfort her, as much as it tore him up inside.

DING DONG

"Are you going to get that?" Called Rin to her step mother.

"I need to finish getting ready, will you? Where's your friend... Len?" She called back.

"Off flirting with... Someone I can't really hate that much anymore." Rin said only loud enough for herself to hear. "I dunno. He should be here in like an hour." She shouted back to her mother as she checked the clock on her cellphone and walked back down stairs. When she got to the door she immediately opened it, expecting it to be some annoying guy trying to sell her some sort of something that she wouldn't be complete without.

"Hey Rin." Said her almost-twin friend.

"Hey Len... Wait wait wait, Len?! Why are you here? Weren't you... with Miku?" Rin was completely surprised.

"She... Uh... You looked a little sad when you left so I figured one day would be fine of me not being there. Sorry it took me a while to get here." He scratched the back of his head. "So can I come in?"

"Yeah yeah, come come." Rin gestured. "So whadda want for dinner?" She said as the two went into the kitchen after Len set his bag down.

"Hmm... Banana Foster?" Len loved him some bananas.

"We could have that for dessert. We need actual food though." She laughed.

"How about Orange Chicken." He said as looked in her freezer and saw chicken.

"Yes please!~"

Out of the two, Len was the better one with cooking. His talents were reading, studying and cooking while Rin's talents were more socializing, artsy stuff and being a leader of sorts, although both were fairly good at singing. So while Len was preparing the food, Rin went upstairs again and brought down her school bag and a stack of books. On the top was her current readings. She pulled off and began reading where she left off.

I actually was about to making this chapter even longer, but then realized that some events I want to save and lump together. Lol. and OMGGGGG My keyboard has been crazy since Sunday night. It stopped working all of a sudden and we didn't have a back up keyboard on hand (since we were still unpacking stuff) but my brother ended up having an extra so now he's letting me borrow it. I guess that's what happens after using the same computer for almost ten years. maybe we just need to take better care of it? Meh.

I think its funny how Rin still hasn't noticed that similiaritys between her and the book. Way to go Ms. Dense! c:

And if you didn't know, the lyrics I posted are from Beyonce's song If I were a boy. I've been listening to it nonstop. It just makes me feel very... sad? Hahaha/

Please Review, as always, I enjoy reading what my readers have to say!
