Twisted Fairytales: Mikurella
Chapter 5
"Ah, oh well, there goes the bell, I guess we should go." Gumi said. She was still uncomfortable with the tense atmosphere. Her brother, however, was different, either he could not sense the awkwardness or he was trying to lighten things up. He had been cracking lame jokes that only he himself laughed at.
"Yeah, let's go, Gumi." Miku stood up too, and Rin swore she saw Lily's eye flash with anger at that exact moment.
'Wow, Lily's still angry with Miku? I would love to help Miku and find out what is wrong, but, Lily does not seem approachable at all.' Rin shrugged and followed her classmate and stepsister.
"Lily, let's go." Gakupo urged, and Lily stood up, somewhat reluctantly, her gaze lingering on Gumi.
'Oh, she's looking at… Miku, no! She's looking at Gumi! Huh? Wait…' Rin snapped her fingers, 'She likes Gumi! And she's jealous of.. Miku. But why? What happened?'
"Hey sis, why'd you snap your fingers?" Len asked.
"Oh, I remembered that the next lesson is my favourite subject! " "Science?" "Yeah!" Len raised an eyebrow, but said nothing.
"Hey Miku, let's talk after school. Len and Lily can go home by themselves first." Rin whispered to Miku, who nodded.
"Miku, you failed to complete your Math assignment, so you'll have to stay back after school to finish it. The same goes for you, Rin." The math teacher sighed. 'Why do they torture me like this?' "Hand it to me when you're done. I'll be in the teacher's room. And don't think of escaping, I'll tell your parents if you do."
"I guess we're staying back." Rin smirked, hiding her already finished worksheet under her table. 'Now Len won't get suspiscious.'
After school, Len left first, grumbling about having to 'endure Lily's wrath all by himself'.
'It's not like Lily's angry at him.' Miku and Rin thought.
"Well, let's talk. I think I know why Lily is angry at you." Rin said after everyone else had left.
"Really? Why?" Rin took a deep breath. Her prediction had better be correct, or else itwould be painfully awkward.
"Do you know who Lily likes?" "Gakupo?" "… Really?" "No. But who else?" "Guess. Why do you think Lily is so angry with you? Maybe because you're closer to the one she likes?" Miku paused for a while, staring thoughtfully into the ceiling.
"GUMI?!" She blurted out, shock and disbelief written all over her face.
"Exactly." Rin nodded eagerly. "I never knew she was into girls, but then she never showed any interest in guys. Just like you." She noted pointedly.
"Wait, so she thinks I like Gumi?" "Seems so. Did something happen yesterday?" "Between me and Gumi? Well, she ran out and I chased her." "And? Lily would not be affected by that alone." "Well, she was crying and I hugged her to comfort her." "Why was she crying?" Rin asked, curious.
Miku paused. Gumi told her not to tell anyone, but now that there was a possibility that Lily could like Gumi back…
"You can't tell anyone else, okay?" "Yeah, I won't." "Well, Gumi's jealous of Gakupo." "Why that eggplant?"
"She likes Lily." "No way!" Rin burst out laughing. "This is too funny! Do you realize how hilarious the whole situation is?"
"Huh?" "Okay, Gumi likes Lily, right?" Miku nodded. "And Lily likes Gumi, kind of, right?" Miku nodded again. "But Len and you assume that Lily and Gakupo are together." "But Lily thinks that Gumi and I are together! Oh no!" Miku exclaimed.
"Yeah, sorted it out already? I've found out the reason for conflict, now go solve it. Mama and Papa will notice it soon, you know. Lily can only have so many bad days consecutively." Rin paused. "I think Lily saw you and Gumi hugging, she went after the two of you." "What?" "Yeah. You have to explain that to her too. Oh yeah, go hand up our worksheets. I'll wait for you downstairs." and Rin left.
"So that's it!" Miku finally understood the whole situation.
"Here, teacher." "Thanks so much, Luka! You're so different from my other students." The teacher beamed. 'Megurine Luka is indeed a model student. She does work, collects it and hands it up to me. Look at my year two classes, especially 2-A. I wonder if those two have finished their work already.'
"Erm, Sensei?" 'Speak of the devil.' "Is that you, Miku? Come in."
Miku stepped in, clutching the worksheets. She stopped and found it hard to breathe when she saw the pink haired girl in front of her. 'It's that girl!' She realized the girl was looking at her too, and looked away quickly, embarrassed. "Miku, only you?" "Ah, no, Rin's worksheet is here too." "Thanks, and you should really try to do your work on time. I just finished marking your math test, and your math is deteoriating. Maybe you should get a tutor?" "A tutor?" Miku shook her head.
"Fine, but I'll probably set up a buddy system. Maybe you should ask a senior for help."
Luka watched the conversation, laughing silently. 'The tealette again? She's adorable. So her name is Miku. A fitting name, a cute name for someone so cute.'
"Sensei, if you don't mind?" "Ah, yes, Luka, you can go now."
Miku looked up. 'So her name's Luka! Luka. A beautiful name, it suits her…'
"Erm, sensei, if both you and this junior don't mind, I can actually tutor her." "Really?" The teacher was in awe. 'A model student indeed! In my many years of being a teacher, this is the first student who has volunteered to be a mentor!' "Yes, sensei, so I suppose you're okay with that."
"Of course!" the teacher looked at Miku. "You don't mind, do you?"
Miku was lost for words. This was remarkably fantastic! "No, I don't mind!" she almost shouted.
"Well, excellent! I'll be sure to include this in your report, Luka. Thanks so much! You two may go now."
Once outside, Luka attempted to make a conversation start.
"So, I'm Megurine Luka. I'm in class 4-C." "Ah, I'm Miku. Hatsune Miku! I'm in class 2-A!" "So, Hatsune-san, when would you be free for tutoring?" "I'm fine with any day, and please call me Miku." Luka smiled. "Then , call me Luka too."
'Hold on, I never tell people to call me Luka! Without the 'san'? this is the first time!'
"Luka," Miku smiled as the name passed over her lips. She would never get tired of saying such a beautiful name. "why did you agree to teach me?"
"I suppose it will be good for both you and me. I'll get to revise while teaching you, and you'll get to improve." "Oh, that's nice of you! Thank you so much!" "Do
you have a handphone?" "Yeah I do! Why?" Miku blushed. 'She's going to give me her number?'
"I need to give you my number and get yours, so it'll be more convenient for us to meet up for tutoring sessions." Miku felt a tinge of disappointment. 'So it's strictly for work?' "And also, well, as a senior, I suppose I can give you advice or anything if you need it." She smiled wamly at Miku.
"Really?" "Yes, really." Luka took out her handphone and passed it to Miku. "Your number, please." Miku keyed in her number and mimicked Luka, taking her own phone out, smiling brilliantly when she saw Luka's number keyed in.
"Well, then I'll see you around." Luka waved and walked away, and Miku smiled to herself, before realizing that Rin was waiting for her.
"So, what took you so long?" "Erm, I got a tutor. A mentor actually." "Did sensei force you to?" "Something like that, let's go back now."
"You seem happy. Got Luki as your mentor?" "Luka, actually." Miku was so happy she did not realize what she was saying. "Luka? Luki's sister? The one that Gakupo's so enamored with?" "Huh? Oh no, so I am stuck in a love triangle now!" "Wait what you love… no you wouldn't be in love with that eggplant, you like Luka?" "I think I – Wait, what have I said so far?" Miku blinked, snapping out of her euphoric daze.
"You declared your love for Luka. That's all." Rin smiled teasingly.
"Huh? What?!" "So you're into girls too, huh? Nice to know, Miku. You should tell that to Mikuo if he bothers you again." "Huh? Come on Rin, what did I say?" "Nothing~ oh and it's nice that you're happy and all, but shouldn't you worry about Lily first?" "Lily? Oh! Right! I should talk to her, huh?" "Yeah, but you know how she gets when she's angry. Good luck." They entered the house and Rin went to the kitchen immediatlely.
"Len, where's Lily?" Miku asked the blonde boy, who was watching TV in the living room.
"Huh? She's out. She said she'll be back by dinner."
Miku sighed. 'I guess the talk will be later then.'
Well, that's it for now. R&R? :)
