A/N: Sorry for the long break. D : It's not even a long one after all that time, I'll admit it. But I will begin working on the next chapter right away!

The news of the breakup spread like wildfire. It nearly made the papers. High school's famous prince and princess broke up? It was unheard of.

Now that I could be with Len, it didn't really bother me if people talked. However, talking was not the only result of our breakup. Sometimes, in the middle of class, I'd feel a thousand eyes on the back of my head. It seemed that girls were always asking me to borrow notes, talking with me in the hallway, firing questions at me for gossip. I could barely catch my breath.

"You and Miku really broke up?"

"Yes."

"Did you dump her or did she dump you?"

"We both decided to go separate ways."

"Is it true that you guys live together?"

"Yes, we do."

"So…you're single now?"

This question was the most common. The answer always caused a big reaction.

"No, I'm not."

I've seen so many jaw drops, looks of confusion, and jealous eyes I couldn't count them all. I knew those answers would stir up even more gossip and rumors but I'm learning not to hide things anymore. It's just too exhausting. Miku's been giving me a bit of a hard time about it but I can tell she knows she won't be able to escape the truth anyhow.

By the time lunch rolled around, I couldn't wait to get out of school. But I knew this was just the beginning. I was sure the gang has heard all the rumors, what really happened plus more, but they haven't heard a word from Miku or me yet. I could feel them all looking at us while we ate. They're good friends though. They weren't asking, they were waiting for one of us to speak up. Though it was just about killing Neru.

Len coughed uncomfortably. I decided it would be best to tell them. I knew they wouldn't go spreading the news, which I was thankful for, because there was enough commotion as it was, and Len and I already agreed it was okay to tell them.

"Um…ahem."

All chewing stopped, the eyes of every person at the table met mine. Len was quiet. He wasn't talking before, but his silence somehow became quieter. I squeezed his hand under the table.

"I'm sure you've heard that Miku and I broke up already."

"So it is true." Said Luka. She gave a sympathetic smile to both Miku and I.

"Yes. I figured it was best if I tell you guys. I know there's a lot of rumors floating around."

"It's the talk of the school. The town practically." Said Neru. I grimaced, knowing she would know best.

"Well, we broke up last night. We're not bitter towards each other and things won't be awkward. We'll still sit together and everything. In fact, we're still living together." I could see them drinking in the information, separating true from false. "Uhm…I am actually already seeing someone…"

"What?" Neru's eyes bulged. Luka gasped. Gakupo and Rin kept quiet.

"Did you cheat on Miku?" asked Neru. She caught herself, realizing it sounded like an accusation.

"I…" I got a little tongue-tied, not sure what to say. Miku spoke up.

"Things got complicated. We just don't love each other romantically. Kaito found somebody he does love that way though. It's a long story but it's not like he cheated on me."

I could see that Neru felt cheated out of a juicy story but everyone nodded understandingly. I gave a small smile to Miku.

"So, who is it?" asked Luka curiously.

I was glad now that the majority of our group already knew. This was harder than I thought it would be.

"Actually, it's Len."

If Neru's eyes got any bigger, I think they would have popped out. As for Luka, she tried to disguise her shock a bit more. Gakupo seemed a bit stuck on whether or not to act surprised or not, giving a phony jaw drop when Neru looked his way, and Rin smiled. Len's hand clung to mine as he looked down, embarrassed. I squeezed his hand once again to reassure him. We were together on this.

Nobody said anything at first. Rin chimed in. "I think they look cute together."

"Th-that's right." Luka agreed, stuttering in shock. "Congratulations you two."

Neru had pretty much malfunctioned. After that, the bell rung. Before we exited the cafeteria, I shot a glance at Neru, just making sure she didn't look like she was up to something. It's not that I didn't trust her. I've known her for years. But this was something she would absolutely LOVE to spread around. Len and I had already decided we would spread it ourselves…not that flashy and not all that gossip. But we had plans after school to walk together, hand in hand. I felt my cheeks redden a bit. It was hard to believe this was happening. Len peeked up at me out of the corner of his eye and I felt like giving him a huge hug right in the middle of the hallway. I settled for a quick side hug that didn't draw any attention. I think I can say that it was a strange, strange day. I felt like I had so much weight taken off my shoulders that I could fly. At the same time, there was something odd in the air.
