Chapter 2

I snarl, quickly packing a lunch, cursing and making my way into the large lunch area. I scowl at the usual mutterings and small talk between the small groups at separate tables. My siblings are like a bunch of teenagers (though some actually are), they have their small circles of friends not willing to unite for anything… Most of us haven't spoken to one another since our first 'presentation' to the public…. In other words ago, years ago…. I take a seat at the table to the left where AKita Neru is texting, as usual, Defoko is asleep and the others are chatting quietly…. I decide to wait until their conversation is over to tell Miki my news.

"Well… That's interesting." I don't look up from the page before me at the redhead's comment, scribbling more words into the tiny blue book. "H-Hey, will you put that thing away? This is lunch it's supposed to be for EATING!" Miki snorted, folding her arms over her chest with a pout. I slap the cover back over its pages, skewering a dumpling with my chopsticks and shoving it into my mouth. She seems slightly pleased and I scowl at the look.

"It is interesting…. Just imagine.. There will be a new member of the group!" I mutter through a mouth full of beef and she frowns at my lack of manners.

"For God's sake, swallow your food before talking!" She barks, turning to Neru as she taps away at the tiny keys on the keyboard of her cell phone with her thumbs in a rush. The blond raises her head for an instant before turning her gaze back to the screen. Miki is deflated by the lack of interest in her words, she huffs and whips around to face Momo.

"At least YOU listen to me Momo!" She scoffs, hugging the girl who yelps in surprise, almost dropping her piece of melon bread. She gives a faint giggle and gets back to eating her food, nibbling at the piece in her hands. Miki takes a seat again, seeing as she had bolted upright with her slight rage at the two of us. "Anyways yeah, a new android would be interes-"

"Incoming!" Miki, Momo and I turn in a flash just before a large rock hurtles towards the table, shooting into Defoko's cucumber salad, waking the girl from her obvious slumber in a snap. She yelps as shards of sliced and seasoned cucumber splat against her shirt and cheeks.

"R-Rin, what the hell?!" I snap at the girl who giggles in a high-pitched, squeaky way before hopping down from the table opposite us and turns off her video camera. Miki rolls her eyes, we all know the girl's crazy obsession with movie making…. In her words, she wants to 'Slip away from this horrid place and start a business of her own'. Which sounds like a load of bull shit seeing as we all know there's no way for us to leave this place even if we wanted to!

"Hee hee, sorry." She grins, racing over to our table, an astonished look coloring her features. "Woooaaaah, look at the impact it made!" She chirps, scooping up the stone from her plate, eyeing it carefully. Defoko sounds disgusted as she wipes herself clean with some spare napkins. "I mean look at the effects, you can even see scratches on the-" Her words are interrupted as Miki shoves a piece of Momo's bread into her mouth making her gag before making a slight moan at the flavor and devouring the pastry.

"I… Think I'll go eat in my room…" I mutter as the redhead pushes Rin back to her own table. She gives me a slight nod as I look over my shoulder at her. I sigh, taking my keycard from my left pocket and waiting for the light buzzer to sound. I push through the door, sitting indian-style on my bed... And then I wait… I.. don't even know what I'm waiting for but I seem to be holding my breath, watching the digital clock by my bed as if the numbers will magically fly, hours passing as I sit there. I growl, getting back to my feet, fists clenched. I was tired of this! Constantly sitting around, just waiting for things to change! I stormed out of my room again, ignoring the half-empty bentos box that sat on my desk. I pay no mind to the annoying Korean cat who spits a few pointless remarks in my direction. I practically run to the elevator, slamming my fist into the doors as they hesitate to open, I race through the empty lot, pounding on the large pale doors in my path. Piko answers rather quickly and my knuckles make contact with his forehead making him yelping surprise, glaring up at me.

"Teto what the he-"

"I have to see her!" I almost shout, my face stern, eyes on the verge of watering. His own emerald orbs widen before he gives a slight nod, seeming to understand who I'm referring to. He steps aside and I enter, gazing around, eyes frantic before falling on a sheet in the far corner of his lab. I bolt to the other side, before Piko runs to me, pushing me aside.

"Teto… Why did you come here?" He asks, his tone calm but there's an icy edge to it that makes me step back in surprise.

"I….I didn't.." I growl, baring my teeth as my fists tighten again. "Dammit Piko, I hate it! I keep hoping, waiting, BEGGING for something to change! I'm so tired of it! It'll always be the same…. I can't change it… Don't you understand?! I NEED change, I need her in my life!" I begin to wonder why I'm even assuming the model as a female… I guess it was just because most all of us that existed are girls… I shook my head, my knees beginning to grow weak as if they couldn't support my weight. "Please…. Please…" Piko was silent for a moment, studying my face, then he moved aside, gripping the sheet in one hand.

"Very well…." He sighs, tearing the sheet from it's hold on it's contents.

" Meet…."

"...Hatsune Miku."
