Chapter 9 – I'll go with you
Rin woke up wondering what would happen to her when Lola finally gets to transfer her to some boarding school. She got up with a bad mood and got ready for school. She, Lola and Len ate breakfast surrounded by silence. When she left, Len followed her and they went together to school, without saying anything to each other.
Rin arrived and sat on the desk beside Miki's, who was already in the classroom. When the girl noticed Rin's bad mood, she decided to ask what had happened. And Rin told her what she did, from punching Neru to what Lola decided. Of course she left the reason for punching Neru out of the conversation.
"Your mother will send you to a boarding school? I mean, for real?"
"Well, she's still looking for one that will accept me, we in the middle of the school year, after all."
"This is a little surreal. I mean, a few days back my mother was threatening to send me to a boarding school and now you're the one who will be sent to a boarding school! How will I live without my friend!?" Miki feigned drama, but she really seemed shaken. "But… Why did you hit Neru?"
Rin couldn't tell it was because Neru kissed her Len. Miki didn't know about Rin's feeling for Len and Rin wasn't ready to tell it so soon. So she decided to lie, after all, it was something she was getting good at. To lie.
"Because she is infuriating. That spoiled rich girl act of her annoys me." Miki laughed.
"Well, your anger issues caused you trouble this time. Will you tell the others?"
"I'm thinking of calling them so I can tell them, but I'm grounded."
"And since when that stopped you?"
"Exactly. I'll find a way to get away from it."

The projects presentation was today. Rin's project was perfect, for Len, anyway. She had presented with focus and knew very well what she was talking about. Len smiled when he saw that Rin seemed really focused on something from school.
"Len," called the biology teacher, "I learned about Neru's accident. Since she brought me the medical certificate, I'll let you two present the project when she come back."
Accident? Neru probably told that lie to the teacher. Len knew Neru wasn't hurt enough to stay at home, she probably just didn't people to see how bad her face was now. Rin had done great damage and get a false certificate wasn't hard to the girl's father.
"Neru..."
Len decided to visit Neru, but he didn't know if she was willing to see him after what happened. He was really confused about the kiss, did Neru feel something for him? Well, he hasn't felt anything, nothing like when he kissed…
Len rang the doorbell of Neru's house and who answered the door was a man seeming to be in his mid forty years. He was imposing and was wearing a gray suit. Len felt a little intimidated by that man. He didn't seem to be an employee in the house.
"Hello, I'm Len Kagamine. I'm Neru's classmate and I'm here to visit her." Len held out his hand for the man to shake. The man just narrowed his eyes.
"Kagamine? Like the girl that attacked my daughter? What are you doing here, you came to finish the job?" The man yelled.
"N-no, I came to see if she's fine!"
"Well, she's great, but not thanks to you! Leave now, we don't need your presence here!"
Len knew that Neru's family would had some resentment against his family now, he was already waiting for that reaction. But it didn't make less humiliating to get kicked out from someone's house like that. He turned around and went right to his job. He didn't want to get yelled at by Lola for arriving late at home. He was grounded after all.
When Len arrived at work, the place was somewhat crowded. Miku seemed desperate, Len looked at the clock, just to check if he arrived in time. H had arrived at the right time. The blond sighed relieved and went to talk with his boss.
"Oh, Len! There you are! I was feeling that this place was kinda empty, so I bought some stuff to ttract more customers! It work, didn't it?" said Miku, smiling.
Len looked around and only then noticed what Yukari, Kanon and Anon were wearing. The girls were wearing Lolita dresses, with cat ears and tails. Even Miku was wearing a costume, however, besides the cat ears, she had a crown on her head. What was she thinking? This wasn't a Cosplay Café!
"I bought something for you, as well! You'll be the main attraction!" Miku smirked.
"I'm not wearing a dress!" shouted Len, getting away from the girl.
"It's not a dress, you fool. Look, even Kaito is wearing a costume."
Len looked to where Miku was pointing and saw Kaito wearing something really... Embarrassing. He was wearing a open coat, showing his chest and black sweatpants that looked more like pajamas. He was also wearing cat ears and tail. The guy seemed to be dying from shame.
"But, Kaito doesn't even work here..."
"He has to help his fiancé! Now, go get changed!" Miku thrown the clothes to the boy.
Len went to the room in the back of the store to get changed. While he was taking off his clothes, he got his cell phone and dialed a number. A few seconds later, someone answered.
"Hello?"
"Neru, it's me, Len."
"Oh, Len... Why did you call me?"
"I went to your house, but your dad didn't let me enter…" Neru interrupted him.
"I'm sorry about that!"
"There's no need to apologize, I understand your father. I wanted to say sorry for what happened and thank you, for not file a complaint against Rin."
Neru's excitement died immediately. So Len didn't call her to know if she was fine, he called her because of Rin. He probably just wanted to make sure she wasn't going to ruin the girl's life. She felt hurt and lost the will to talk with him.
"I did that just for you and her mother, Len. She deserves to go to jail. She just causes you trouble."
And even so you care so much for her, but she decided to let it occult.
"… Thank you, again."
"Len… I have to go now…"
"Ah, it's fine. Bye, Neru." The girl hang up without saying goodbye.
Len sighed and finished to get dressed; he put on the ears on his head and prepared himself for work.
"It's time of embarrassment!"

Rin was feeling extremely bored, sitting in her room without doing anything. Lola had taken her computer and TV from her room. She was wondering when the woman was going back to where Leon was, but Lola didn't seem to have that intention.
Rin didn't want to go to the living room, because her mother would be there and she didn't want to look at her face, so she decided to stay locked in her room, maybe the things would be better after Len arrived from work.
Lola was having difficult to find a school that would accept Rin, because it was the middle of school year. Rin was hoping this would make the woman change her mind, but Lola seemed really determinate.
Rin heard the front door opening and Lola greeting, but she didn't went downstairs immediately. She didn't want Len to think she was so desperate to see him, even if she truly was. She heard when his room's door opened and continued waiting.
Almost half na hour later, she heard Lola saying that dinner was ready. Not being able to ignore her hungry, she went downstairs. When she arrived at the kitchen, Len and Lola were already sitting on the table.
Len noticed her bored expression and smiled sympathetically. Rin felt bad, because it was her fault that Len was grounded as well and would have to suffer with boredom too. She sat in silence and they started to eat.
After a dinner surrounded by a awkward silence, Rin left the dining room without saying anything. She went back to her room and laid down on her bed, it was too soon to sleep, but there was nothing she could do. Even her phone had been confiscated by her mother.
Rin stayed staring at the ceiling, wondering for how long had she been doing it. The time seemed to flow slowly. She stood up and went downstairs, pretending she was goingo to get some water. The house was dark, there was no one in the living room. She lokked at the clock, it was one at the morning. They were already sleeping.
Since she couldn't sleep, Rin went back to her room and changed into a Gray jacket, a blue top and jeans shorts, she was also wearing black thigh highs with small yellow diamonds, leg warmers and orange Converse. A beige bow on her head.
After looking at the mirror for a few seconds, Rin left her room and went downstairs; she stopped to drink some water. Her escape was ruined when the kitchen lights lit up. She turned around, startled, just to see Len. The boy was scratching his eyes, sleepy.
"Rin, what are you doing?"
"I'm going out, Len. And don't even try to stop me, I tell mother that you're asleep, so she can't blame you." Len mouth was a thin line. He seemed very awake now.
"I'll go with you."
"What?" Rin thought she had heard wrong.
"I said I'll go with you. If I can't stop you from going out, I'll go with you, to make sure you won't do anything wrong."
X-X-X
Len will go with Rin! Oh my, what will happen?
