IA's POV:
Phew! Making that bento really was something. And now I'm worried that my cooking tastes bad. Does it? I keep glancing at Yuuma at my side. I already told the other girls that I'll be going ahead so they won't be worried. Uhh, how will he react if it tastes bad… Mou! Forget it! If it tastes bad... I just tell him that I'm not good with cooking. Anyway, why do I care if it tastes bad?
"Uhm, Yuuma-san.."
"Hmm?"
"If someone ask you who made that bento please tell them that it's from your little sister or something."
"Why?"
"I didn't want to be… Well It's just… ano…"
"Okay, I understand." He patted my head.
"Thank You. And please don't pat my head because I'm short"
"Ehh? Sorry hehe."
Mou… I walk side by side with Yuuma until we reach the school gate. After that, I walked purposely faster as the fangirls swarmed over him.
Tch. I changed my shoes and sat on my seat, looking at the window, To see when the girls are coming. I opened my bag, taking out my History book and began studying it until Yuuma came into the class. Because it became rowdy when he come around anywhere.
"Hey IA what're you doing?"
"Can't you see? Studying."
"Hey you can't talk to Yuuma-sama that way!"
"Yeah!"
Ahhh… I forgot about the fan girls. I rolled my eyes. Already closing the book I was studying. And going outside needing some fresh air. Before Meiko and the girls tackled me down.
" IAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! Why'd you suddenly said you're going ahead? what happen?" Meiko ask worriedly.
" Let's talk about that later at lunch break. The bell is already ringing."
" Okay…"
"So about the History of Japan at….."
'Ahh, this is boring.' I glanced at Yuuma who's listening to every word the teacher says. ' Ahh, I wonder why everyone really focused at this theory. It's literally the exact same as Yesterday. Ahh. Boring.
"Hmm?"
I saw a piece of paper that have a picture of a chibi Rin. I opened it and it says:
Hey, I forgot to mention it earlier but Miku actually already had a song and we all think it's beautiful. And tomorrow we're gonna try the new song at this school at the music room. Do you think you can make it?
I scribbled an answer: Of course yes. And I knock at Rins back and hand it over to her hand.
Hmm, I'm curious. The new song? I think it would rock.
-lunch break-
"So? Explain IA." Meiko look annoyed.
"Um… I was making a bento…"
"For?" Luka ask
" Y-Yuuma.. he come to my apartment mistaking it to be my neighbors, Take his catering and bento and then he asked me to go to school together"
"Eh?. . . EHHH?!"
"How, when did you two start going out?"
"Y-yeah, Why didn't you tell us earlier"
"GUYS! It was for his catering. My neighbor is the one who always cook for him. And he coincidently asked for a bento. And my neighbor is out of town. So last night he told me to give it to a guy, that's actually Yuuma. That's all. It'll be impossible for him to go out with someone like me" My face we're tinted with the tiniest of pink while saying that.
"Ohh so that's it… Heh, you could tell us earlier y'know. Anyway, what did you prepare for the bento hmm?" Rin ask curiously with a smirk.
"W-what with that smirk? I make some steamed veggies, egg rolls, and some meatballs that he requested."
"Requested?" Miku joined the conversation.
"Y-yeah, he came to my apartment earlier when I was making the bento."
"Ohh,….. Well IA, here are the new song from Miku." Gumi gave me a sheet of paper filled with the lyrics.
"Let me read it for a while" I let out a sigh. Then I read the lyrics while munching on my sandwich.
-In another place-
Yuuma's POV:
I grabbed my Bento box made by IA, grab my water bottle, and I'm ready to go to my usual eating place before my fans are looking at me with a shocked expression. "Yuuma-sama, where do you get that bento from?" One of the fans asked " Ah, It's from I- No, I mean it's from my little sister. She really likes cooking. And today, she happen to make me a bento." I almost break that promise. Thank god I remember just in time. "Ohh it's from your little sister." "Yeah, so would you please give some way so I can get out?"
"Yes!"
"Bye ladies"
"Kyaaaaaaa!"
Finally. "Oh, Kaito! And the others! Sorry for being late." I headed to the only quite place. The rooftop. "Don't apologize, you've been swarmed by your fans again aren't you?" " You guessed it" I answered Kiyoteru back.
"So what are you holding there?" Len questioned the bento in my left hand.
"It's a bento can't you see?" I said while opening the bento and eating an Egg roll… It's really good…. "Hey.. It's unusual for you to accept a bento from your fans and having a dreamy look while munching an ordinary eggroll." Gackupo questioned my strange behavior.
"It's not a normal bento!"
"Hah? It looks normal to me.."
"Can we have a bite?"
"No and no. It's made by IA, so it's special and it's -"
"IA? That girl in our class? She can make a bento?"
"And that's why It'special?"
*Whistle* "Some one's in love~" Kiyoteru whistles
"Why did she make you a bento? Is she you're fan?" Piko asked curiously.
"No, she's not. She's not affected by my charms and she doesn't even know about our band until we came here. She thinks we're annoying. She never blushed to me, Squealed or do those things the others do." I explained.
"She and her friends if I'm correct." Kaito said correcting what I just said.
"If I'm not mistaken, There are only six girls in this school that doesn't know us from the start. It's Miku,IA, Rin, Luka, Meiko and Gumi."
"It's quite surprising. Hey, I heard that they're going to practice a new song that they make tomorrow. Wanna come?" Len asks us if we wanna come along.
"I'm in!" I quickly answered.
"I'm in too" Kaito said while licking his ice cream.
"Guess I'll tag along"
Piko just nodded.
"Me too." Gackupo answered.
"It's decided then. Tomorrow we'll watch them perform." Len said before picking his trash. Throw it in the trash bin. And walks away to go to the classroom and at the same time, The bell rung. Signing that the lunch break is over. I packed my empty bento box and calmly walks into the direction of the classroom. That bento was really tasty.
-In the classroom-
I saw IA already sitting at her seat. I quietly walks into the direction of her seat, put the empty box at her front and leaned into her ear, I whispered with a husky tone: "It was really tasty, thank you for the meal." I quickly leaned back again and sat on my seat. But before that, I can see her red face, maybe because she's surprised. Wait. This is the first time I ever seen her blush. Wow, I make a new progress. Congratulation me. Yesyesyesyesyesyesyes!
IA's POV:
'What's with him?! And what's with that tone?! Argh! My face is heating up! No. NO. Nooo! I'm not blushing to that jerk! Okay… calm down IA,.. calm down… take a deep breath… Release… Okay now I'm calm again. But now I know he likes it.' I unconsciously smiled just thinking about that. I opened my Math book and began writing whatever the teacher says or explained.
-after school-
"So how does he think about your cooking?" Luka asks with a smirk.
"He thinks it's good."
"Oh. So how do you think about the new song?" Miku ask with a tint of hope.
"It's good. Perfect for winter. Good job Miku." I said with a smile.
"Yes! IA approve it to! Yahoo!" Miku began to jump in happiness.
"So do you already have the sheets for the guitar cords for you? I still have a copy of yours." Luka said.
"I already have one. Anyway can I customize it a little? I mean we haven't tried it right? We can make it better by adding more chords or so. But even so, your version is still pretty good."
"Thanks IA. And yeah, you can do anything with it. Oh and try it at home" Miku answered.
" After that, please send it to me through email. I will try to sound it together and send it to you guys again if you liked the tune." Meiko followed.
"Got it"
-at IA's house-
"Okay, time to rock this baby again." I said as I grab my guitar. I sat at the side of my bed, read the chords and I then I tried to remembered the song Miku singed earlier this afternoon. I tried to put it in chords and the chords pretty much is correct but it still need a little bit more… done! I tried to record it. Send it to Meiko and the result was..err a little to pop. So we tried again. this time with Miku's voice. It turned out good but we still didn't really liked tried and tried and tried but we're not really satisfied by the result. Is it to quite in the middle when Miku wasn't singing? Just the music? Ahh! I got an Idea! I start to played it again with a little twist. There's a little bit of rock'n roll in the tune now. Especially in the empty middle. I made to be like a rock'n roll so the empty space will be mine, Luka and Gumi's spotlight. I record it again to Meiko and when I got the tune the other girls also had my idea. Luka decided to add a bell. Gumi decided to play the same with me with a lower tune . With a little of my crazy guitar sound at the middle but with a lower tune. Rin decided to play the lighter tune. Miku decided to make the sound of the keyboard like a chime. Add Miku's voice and it's perfect. We all agree with this one. After I read the others mail, and agreed to it, I instantly fell a sleep.
-The next morning-
I woke up at 07: 20 today. Hah! I'll be late! I instantly changed ito my uniform. I brushed my teeth while trying to put on my knee length stocking. And brushing my hair was another crisis. I make my usual sandwich and then put in a box, then in the school bag. I put on my glasses, my shoes. I grab my toast,Oh and my guitar case. I checked the time in my phone, And it's still 07:40 Oh and a mail from gumi that woke me up earlier : 'Hey, you'll be going to school alone. I'm going to school at 07:20. bye!' . And then I opened the door to see Yuuma waiting outside.
"And why are you here?" I ask annoyed.
"Waiting for you."
"Why?"
"I just feel like I want to. Oh yeah, what happened earlier? There are strange sounds of someone falling from the stairs and such like they're in a hurry from 07:20 from your apartment until you opened the door."
"Don't question it."
"Is it you?"
"Shut up"
"So it is you…"
"Don't tell anyone"
"Alright, alright."
I blushed. Grrr, He's making me irritated. Tch, whatever. We walked silently before he break the silence by asking a question.
"Nee, do you made me a bento again today?"
"No"
"Ehh? Why? I liked your cooking so please make me one again."
"No"
"Please…."
"No"
"Huh, meanie…" He pouted
Somehow it's cute… wait what am I thinking?!
"O-okay, I'll make you one again sometime.
"Really?" His face brightens up.
"Y-yeah." I said and suddenly he hugged like a lost puppy.
"Yay! She's making me another bento!"
"Get off of me idiot. You're heavy."
"Okay"
We reached the school gate more quickly than we'd expected. I quickly walked inside the school building doing what I usually do and going to class, sat on my usual spot, and then suddenly Rin dragged me outside and then I met the other girls. "IA, as expected you came here with Yuuma huh?" Gumi said "H-huh? How'd you know that." "Well of course because you clearly appeared on the school gate with Yuuma on your side. But then suddenly you're ahead of him."
"Ahh. It's him who showed up on my door step okay?"
"Yeah, yeah. Anyway your guitar was amazing! Are you sure you can handle it?" Miku ask worriedly.
"Yep. I've been playing something like that oftenly before you make your song." I answered with a thumbs up.
'DING-DONG' "Uh-oh, better go to class before you're late guys! Bye!" Gumi said while running through the halls to her class with Meiko and Luka.
" We better hurry up too" Rin said while walking to our own class.
-at Class-
Miku's POV:
Urgh… I can't find my eraser anywhere. Argh! Why does my eraser is always lost?
"Uhm…Miku-san, Is this your eraser?"
Eh? Someone's talking to me?! W-wait. That voice sounds familiar.
"Kaito-san?"
"Y-yeah, that's me… Anyway is this your eraser?"
"Ahh! Yes. That's mine. Thank you."
"No problem" He gave me the eraser. And he continued on his writing. Ahh it's been a while since a popular person spoke to me. Ah! I should just focus on the lesson rather than him. Hmm, this history lesson somehow always make my mind at ease… I wonder… Well I cant wait for after school.
-After School-
"Time to stalk them. Hehe." Len said before we peek at the window to saw the girls inside again and today as always the school is already empty except for them. But the door is slightly opened. Yuuma signaled the boys to just peek form it. What they saw was quite surprising. They saw them watch the Vocaloids concert last week. "Is this what you're talking Gumi?" IA asks her friend. "Yep. Anyway I got this video from my cousin. I haven't watched it too. It's my first time watching them." Gumi said .IA and the other just watched the video of Shoot on Tokyo. Then IA said, "Yuuma's voice is actually good huh…" Yuuma just grinned hearing that. "Hehe…she commented me…"
"Ara, are you falling for him IA ?" Yuuma heared Rin's comment and waited for IA to answer hopefully. But what he get was…
"Hell NO." IA answered while banging Rin's head to the ground. "I'm sorry" Rin whispered.
Yuuma suddenly was growing mushrooms in a corner.
"Cheer up, man." Kaito pat his shoulder, trying to help.
"Now, lets practice shall we?" Miku took off her glasses."Yep." The other megane also took of their glasses."Okay.123 go!"

"Huh.. it's the first time we've done it together and it's already sounds really good to me." Miku said, sweeping her forehead with her arm.
'clap,clap,clap..' the sound of clapping made the girls tense then they tuned they're heads to the boys clapping at them."That's a good one. What is the name of the song?" Yuuma asked. "What!?" IA exclaimed after being sent to the real world again by Yuuma. Then she slipped and fell to Luka's drum and some of the speakers. 'jhihfsifhsjguvndsaofaij' –sounds of her falling-
"IA!" some of the girls went to her before she exclaimed ."I'm okay!" "It doesn't seem so.." Meiko said quietly seeing her friend tangled in cables and much more behind the drum. Luckily the front of the drum was faced to the boys so they couldn't see her. Or else…well they can see her… never mind. The others just sweat dropped. " Anyway, we already saw you guys perform last Monday. It's pretty good. Today your making a new song right? What's the name?" Yuuma speak again. "W-we d-don't k-know yet…" Miku stuttered.
Suddenly IA recovered and untangle herself from the cables even tough her hair is a mess now. "Do you a-already tell the others a-about t-t-this?" she asked rather shyly. "Of course no. We know you secreted this."
They all sighed. Reliefed. "But why do you secreted this. You can be popular right?" Len asked curious. "Reasons?" Rin answered. " Kay.."
"Anyway, how about 'The snow white princess is?' the name of the song" Yuuma asked them. " Until then, good evening." And they all disappeared. "O-okay" IA answered. "Well that was strange…" Rin said, clearly confused.
"The Snow White Princess is, huh…"
