Ayy, longer chapter! C: This chapter was really fun to write. Miku has returned, and there shall be some inpending fluff between the two. ;D So yeah, hope you all enjoy! And please do leave a review.

It had been a long weekend.

The trio spent the whole weekend together, to try and cheer Rin up. Saturday to Sunday, they stayed in and watched movies, and played video games, to try and ease Rin's mind a little. And it seemed to work. She seemed happy the whole time they ate pizza and drank soft drinks, and she seemed just as fine when the weekend was over, leaving the friends to part ways.

And now, it was a Monday.

Back to school, a whole new 5 days to deal with.

That was one thing Rin had been dreading, since the moment she woke up.

Well, actually, in full fledged honestly, she hadn't really been excited for much since waking up with Miku. Yes, she was happy to spend time with her friends, in her hour of darkness, but the thought of her lingered in the back of her mind the whole time. She had fun, but not as much fun as she could have had.

And to think, a whole new day, a whole new 5 days of school, a whole week. What was going to happen? Did Miku tell Kaito about their little drunken rendezvous? Knowing Kaito, and now knowing just how homophobic he was, he'd probably kick her ass! Teach her to never sleep with his girlfriend again! What about Miku, though? What would happen to her. Rin hated the tingle of worry that lingered in her mind. This was her fault, after all. She was the one who had the boyfriend.

Rin sighed, as she walked up the path to the school. She lifted her head. "Well, here it goes," She muttered to herself, pushing all thoughts of Friday night and the following events back in her mind, as she opened the doors. It was the same old same. Students were lounging around, most of them too tired to function properly. Rin was one of them. She hadn't gotten much sleep last night, and now that she was at school, she could feel the tirdness coming into effect. She could tell that today was going to be one of those days, where she'd sleep through every class.

"Surprise!" Rin gasped, feeling arms wrap around her, her eyes popping open. The hug was then followed by scolding, "Hey! Jees, don't surprise her like that, It's too early in the morning." Rin turned around slowly, to see the bickering pair that were her friends, Iroha and Piko.

Iroha smiled. "Morning!" Iroha was deffinately a morning person. Rin didn't understand how, though. She got up every morning at the same time, and was always tired. Iroha got up at the same time, and she always seemed full of life.

Rin sighed, forcing a smile. "Morning." She said dully. Honestly, she was too tired to deal with Iroha's antics this morning.

Iroha frowned, as the trio walked aimlessly through the halls. "Aw, where's that smile we all so love?" She pouted, and Rin turned to face her. She held her stare for a moment, but then broke it, a smile spreading on her lips. Iroha was too goofy for her own good, but Rin supposed that was good. She needed a friend thatw as able to make her smile, even when she didn't want to. As annoying as Iroha was, she supposed she was rather greatful for her.

"There it is!" Iroha cheered, clapping. Rin chuckled, turning away from her. And the smile was dropped. She closed her eyes for a moment, in attempts to call herself down. In times like this, she both wanted to be near people, yet far, far away from them. She was exhausted. She just wanted to lay down, and sleep. And forget about everything for a while.

"Rin?" She could hear voices, but she didn't respond.

"Hellooo..." They kept calling her. It wasn't until her shoulders were being shook, that she snapped out of it, and was met face to face with Iroha shaking her, and Piko waving his hands in front of her. They let out a gasp, seeing as she came to it.

"Oh, Rin! You scared us, for a moment there!" Iroha breathed a sigh of relief, wiping her forehead.

Piko smiled supportively. "You blanked out for a minute there... sleep walking, huh?" He chuckled lightly. "Are you okay?"

Rin looked around, feeling lightheaded. She blinked a few times, before glancing over to her worried friends. "I'm fine," She said slowly. "Just... tired." Oh so tired.

Iroha smiled lightly. "Yeah... well, just.. try and take it easy, okay?" She knew what was really going on. She and Piko both knew. They knew her too well, and after a weekend of spending time with her, holding her while she cried and ranted, they knew well enough to know it still bothered her. For Rin, yes, it was deffinately something to loose sleep over, too.

'Poor Rin...' Iroha thought. Her hands travelled down to Rin's hands, taking them lightly in her own, giving them a gentle squeeze. Rin may not have wanted to talk about it now, but if she ever did, Iroha was always going to be there for her. And she knew that.

Rin looked up, her eyes meeting Iroha's. She smiled lightly, squeezing her hands back. And then, the bell rang. "Thanks, guys..." She sighed. Now that the bell had rung, today was just starting. It was going to be a long day. A long week. Iroha nodded, giving her hands a final squeeze, before pulling her into a hug instead. Rin seemed shocked, as she let her hands hang loosely. "I'm here for ya, Rinny." Iroha whispered, and Rin understood. They pulled away. "Thanks again." She forced a smile. Iroha nodded, before departering, taking off down the halls to make it to her first period class.

Piko was left alone with Rin. Their eyes met, and Piko smiled with a nod. "Take care." He advised, patting her on the back gently, before trailing after Iroha.

Leaving Rin alone.

And now that her friends were gone, she felt more exhausted than ever.

She let out a long sigh, as she slugged through the halls, making it to her first class. Once there, she plopped her head down on the desk, ignoring the roudy kids her age talking around her.

She slept right through class without being interupted.

Second period, art. Rin trudged in, feeling a little more awake, after getting away with sleeping through a whole hours worth of class. She felt a little more functionable. Perhaps not enough to stay awake for this class either, but really, she didn't care at this point. Her head hurt, and she felt really groggy. It didn't help that Kaito was in her class, either.

But, from the looks of it... he was no where to be seen.

Rin felt her heart skip a beat, her cheeks heating up. He wasn't here? A smile came to her lips, the first genuin smile she had smiled since before Friday.

Letting out a content sigh, Rin let her head sink down to the desk, closing her eyes. She wouldn't have to worry about all the things that Kaito might do to her, in her sleep. Nope. She could sleep without worry.

And she did.

Almost.

About half way into class, she felt a hand on her shoulder, giving a slight squeeze. Her eyes snapped open, her head shooting up to be met, staring up at the teacher. She gasped, and the whole class let out a laugh at her shock. She quickly stood up, looking around in embaressment, her whole face painted red. "I-I'm s-sorry, I, well-" She studdered.

The teacher smiled supportively, as Rin slowly took a seat again. "I'm sorry..." She mumbled again, the class seeming to calm down, and go back to their own business.

"Are you okay? You're usually wide awake... you're rather tired today, I see." Rin nodded.

"Y-yes, well, I just didn't sleep much last night..."

The teacher nodded in understandment. "Ahh. Well, how about you go for a lap around the halls, get a drink. Wake up a bit, and if you're feeling better, work on your project a bit, okay?"

Rin nodded, as she got up. "Thank you..." She mumbled, leaving the class with a sigh. She was lucky that the teacher was so understanding.

The halls were empty.

Rin roamed them, silently humming to herself. She didn't feel as dizzy as she did earlier, so that atleast was good. Her fingers trailed along the bumpy walls of the school, just to try and keep her balance. She was still tired, but she could walk well enough. Perhaps it would have been a better idea to just call in sick today... She clearly needed to be home right now, resting. But if she couldn't even sleep through the night, how would she be able to sleep for a whole day? She just hoped that maybe school would tire her out more, and when she got home, she could take a long nap, until she woke up the next morning for school.

Pushing those thoughts away, Rin focused on the pictures hanging on the walls. Staff, student pictures, the glass case holding trophies for all the sports the school has one in the main lobby.

Yes, there was lots to look at in the halls.

So much so, Rin almost didn't see the other person walking her way, a little infront of her. Her mind was focused on reading the captions on the golden prises, but catching a flash of teal out of the corner of her eye, Rin looked up.

Their eyes met.

And they both froze.

Rin was surprised to see her walking down thehall. They both just stood there, staring eachother down. Rin could feel the heat rising to her cheeks.

Miku cleared her throat, and a smile came to her lips. "I, uh... I have your phone, by the way. You left it at Yuuma's." Her eyes shifted to and from Rin, they didn't dare look eachother in the eye.

Rin sqeeuzed her eyes shut. After a whole weekend of trying to convince herself she was fine, she didn't want to hear anything about the party.

Miku shuffled her fet uncomfortingly. "It's in my locker, though... come with me, and I'll give it to you."

Rin opened her eyes, huffing. She wanted nothing to do with Miku. But she did need her phone back... so, wordlessly, the pair began to walk to Miku's locker.

Once they stopped, Miku began to unlock her locker. "Your mum's been texting you none stop, ya know." Miku giggled, trying to make some sort of conversation. She didn't turn to face her, however. She just continued to pick at her lock.

Rin stared at her, hugging again, as her brows furrowed. She ignored what Miku had to say. "...So you and Kaito, huh." She had things she wanted to know, too. And she had been meaning to get that off of her chest. Why Kaito? Out of all guys, Kaito? Honestly.

"Oh, yes." Miku spoke, still not turning to face her. The locker cracked open, and Miku reached up on her tip-toes, into a shelf, turning around with Rin's phone in hand. "Here you go~!" She said with a cheery smile, but Rin didn't take it. She just stood there, staring at Miku.

"Do you love him?" Rin asked, after a long moment of silence.

Miku's eyes grew wide, as her cheeks turned bright red. "K-Kaito? Well, yes, of course I love him!" She leaned against her locker, a serene smile coming to her face, as blush clouded her cheeks. "He's such a sweetie."

Rin felt sick. He was anything but sweet. She folded her arms together. "Then why?"

Miku tilted her head. "Why what?"

Rin furrowed her brows, lunging at Miku, her hands pushing up against the locker, so Miku couldn't move. She let out a squeek, seeing how angry Rin was. "Are you seriously going to pretend Friday night didn't happen?" She snarled.

Miku paused, noticng just how close Rin's face was to hers. It would take no effort to capture her lips against her own, and reverse their position so Miku had Rin pinned against the locker. Miku blushed subconsiously, not allowing herself to do so. Kaito would kill her! Instead, she furrowed her eyebrows, pushing Rin away. She began to walk away, but paused, frozen in spot, crossing her arms. Rin stomped over to her, ready to get in her face again and yell at her, and just as she was about to shout, Miku slapped a hand over her mouth.

"Drop it. We were drunk, it was a mistake. Case closed."

Rin stared back at her, eyes looking so vulnerable that Miku almost felt bad for being so harsh. Rin was cute. She was adorable, infact. But Miku already had a boyfriend, and Friday night was a mistake. Rin was the one who chose her, Miku didn't lay a finger on her before hand. That was all Rin.

With a sigh, Miku removed her hand, instead grabbing Rin's hand, slapping her phone into her palm, fingers wrapping around Rin's. "Here's your phone." Miku said, fingers lingering just for a moment, before breaking away, leaving Rin dazed and confused.
