Quick update, I know, but! I had inspiration! And it isn't even that late... but yeh, when inspiration calls, you can't just ignore it lol. So, enjoy and review!
Rin huffed, as she sprawled herself out on her bed. School had come to an end, and she was exhausted. She saw Miku today. Granted, her boyfriend wasn't there, which was good, but... she still felt mentally exhausted. She got her phone back too, so that was a bonus. But was it really worth it? Just to see Miku? That girl confused her more than anything. It didn't help that her boyfriend was the guy who was picking on her about her sexuality.
It was already a horrible mistake telling him her biggest secret, but then sleeping with his girlfriend? Well, even if they didn't actually do it, but... who knows what she was telling him. She could be making up horrible lies about her. After all, one accident can lead to a bad reputation. And if Rin didn't already have one, after telling her secret-after all, who knew what kinds of rumours where going around about her! She hadn't heard anything yet, so far, but she worried... oh, she worried. All the time.
Rin let out a sigh again, as she turned on her side to face the wall.
"Rin?" The girl gasped, sitting up straight, to see her brother poking his head into her room. She let out a sigh, remembering their rooms were right next to eachother. He must have heard her sighs of frustrations. "Are you okay?" He asked, furthering himself into the room, so he was standing in the door way.
Rin smiled faintly. "Yeah, I'm okay."
Len rolled his eyes, coming to take a seat on the edge of her bed. "Liar."
Rin huffed, crossing her arms. Len smiled. "Why don't you tell me what's wrong. Perhaps it'll get your mind off of it."
Rin looked down to the bed. She ran her fingers along the soft fabric, trying to distract herself. Len didn't know. And that's the way she wanted to keep it. He was never a party goer-nor was Rin, yet somehow Iroha had managed to drag her along. And look how that turned out... Still, she didn't know what to tell him.
She flinched, upon feeling his warm hand landing on hers. She looked up, to see his sympathetic smile. "Is it that bad?" He asked, stroking his thumb against her hand. She pulled away, nodding silently. She let out a sigh.
"Don't worry about it, okay? I'll be alright." She smiled weakly.
Len smiled back. "If you're sure," He sighed, getting up. "But you know I'm always here, if you need me to beat someone up." He smirked, and Rin tried not to laugh. She rolled her eyes, as he lightly punched her shoulder. She swatted him right back.
"Thanks Len." She said mockingly. Seriously, he couldn't fight for shit. Still, the thought was nice.
With a laugh, Len left his room, creeping back to his own room to do whatever it is that annoying twin brothers do.
Once he was gone, Rin flopped back onto the bed. Sun settled in through the curtains, dusting her room with a faint orange. She could feel the heat shining on her body, and slowly, her eyes shut...
"Rin." Her eyes snapped open, and she let out a gasp, seeing her mother standing over her. She sat up straight.
"Mom! What's going on?" The mother laughed.
"You're awake. Would you like to go out for dinner?" She asked, and Rin stared back at her with a calculating dinner.
"All of us, or...?" She wondered. They rarely went out for dinner... what was with the change? The mother nodded.
"Get dressed, and meet us downstairs in ten minutes, alright?" And with that, she left the room. Rin looked around her room, feeling dizzy. She blinked the sleep out of her eyes, as she slowly climbed out of the bed with a huff. She smiled slightly. Oh well, they hadn't been out to dinner in a long time. It would be a nice change.
Moments later, Rin joined her family in the living room. She was changed out of her school uniform, instead into faded jeans with a pink sweater. Her hair was tied back with her favorite white bows, and she pulled on a pair of black hightops. She glanced at Len, who grinned at her, his hands stuffed into his pants pockets. She nudged him in the side. "What's going on?" She whispered.
He shrugged. "Idunno."
Rin rolled her eyes. "You're lots of help..."
Len chuckled. "Lighten up, will ya? I told mum you seemed down lately, and she suggested we go out for dinner. Smile a bit." He suggested, grabbing at her cheeks, to pull them into a smile. She swatted him away. "Okay, okay, jees!" Though, she couldn't help but smile. She was lucky to have such a great brother. Even if he was annoying.
Moments later, they rolled up to the restaurant, and Rin could feel her mood improving already. She smiled widely as she jumped out of the vehicle, running into the restaurant to choose out a seat for her family. But they were taking their time.
Rin skipped back to Len, grabbing his hands and pulled him into the restaurant. He laughed. "Someone's happy."
She turned to face him, her hands gripping his. "Yes! You know this is my favorite restaurant!" And the parents chuckled behind the twins. They were happy to see Rin back to her normal self, laughing and smiling, joking and bickering with her brother.
They took a seat, and Rin was happy, as she giggled at Len's stupid little jokes. She was having such a great time, she almost didn't notice the door of the restaurant opening, a family of four entering. And it wasn't until they walked past her, that the laughing stopped. Rin looked up, and felt her heart stop, upon seeing two long teal coloured pig tails.
'Is that Miku?...' Rin thought, feeling her heart stammer in her chest. She shook her head, turning to Len again, feeling a bead of sweat roll down her cheek. She tried to ignore her. Heck, maybe it wasn't even Miku! There were alot of kids at her school with crazy hair, maybe this was someone else... After all, teal was a nice colour... and Miku could work it well... Rin shook her head again. She wasn't supposed to be thinking like this!
Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced to the family of teal. And the teal haired girl turned her head, to look at what could be her older brother. That smile, those eyes, that face... Rin felt her heart stop again.
That was deffinately Miku.
She turned her back on Len, to catch a better glimpse of her. She seemed to have almost the same kind of relationship with her brother as she and Len did... the way they joked and bickered, though he seemed more annoyed with her. It was her, who was the one trying to make an effort to talk to him. He'd smirk and laugh, but at the same time it appeared as though he was trying to distance himself from her, or ignore her.
She couldn't help but smile a little, just watching her.
And she looked so pretty... she wore a jean skirt, showing off her long, slender legs. A pale red and white stripped shirt that dipped off her collarbone, exposing her pale chest. And she wore golden sandals, pink painted toes sticking out. She was absolutely gorgeous. Her hair looked as soft and silky as always, her eyes were so dreamy... Rin sighed deeply. And she hated herself for it. She didn't want to feel like this about a girl she'd never be able to be with.
She noticed Miku pause, and her gaze was fixed on Rin. A smile grew on her lips, and Rin nearly jumped out of her skin. She couldn't have turned away quick enough, because she could see Miku's older brother getting of his seat, so Miku could squeeze past him.
"Rin?" Len wondered, noticing how much Rin was curving inwards towards him. "Len..." She could feel her shoulders shaking.
"Rin?" Another voice asked, and Rin flinched sharply. Len noticed the frightened look on her face, and he looked up to the smiling girl standing in front of the table. "Is there something we can do for you?" He asked, his arm wrapping around Rin defensively. She shook harshly under his grip.
Miku jumped at the harshness of his voice. She kept a smile, however. "O-oh, um, well..."
Rin swallowed, pulling away from Len. "It's okay," She re-assured him, and her suspicious parents. She sighed deeply, as she turned to Miku. She nodded. "Hello."
Miku grinned widely then. "Rin! I knew that was you!" She giggled, placing her hand over her mouth. Rin sighed, smiling up at her. Though she felt anything but happy to see her. Try frightened, shocked, embaressed...
Miku coughed then, and Rin looked into her eyes. "Rin, do you mind if we speak in private...?" She wondered, and Rin looked back to her parents. They looked suspicious, and seemed to pick up on her nervousness. Len kicked her foot under the table.
"The food will be coming soon..." They said, and Miku smiled. "That's okay! We'll just be a moment." She pleaded, and Rin looked back up at her with wonder in her eyes. Miku smiled down on her. And that smile made her gaze in, as she let out a sigh, excusing herself from her family.
The two girls took a seat at a table not too far from where Rin's family was seated. They didn't look at eachother, keeping to thereselves. Rin coughed into her hand, looking up. She was the first to break the awkward silence, as she spoke. "What are you doing here?" She asked, perhaps with a little more anger than she had intended to add.
Miku laughed, not seeming to pick up on her frustration. "Am I not allowed to go out with my family for dinner?"
Rin looked away, awkwardly rubbing her arm. "It's just kinda suspicious that you're here at the same time I am..."
Miku shrugged, a smile still on her lips. "Consider is a coinsidence, I suppose."
Rin looked up. "Are you following me?" She asked, leaning in to eye her closely.
"What? No! Of course not." Her eyes widened, putting her hands infront of her to show Rin that she meant no harm.
Rin slumped back into her seat, with crossed arms. "What do you want, Miku?" Honestly, it was bad enough meeting her here, she didn't want to be having this talk with her. She didn't want to sit with her. She didn't even want to know what her family looked like. But she had bad luck. She just didn't want anything to do with Miku. Friday night was enough, she didn't need a reminder of it everytime she saw Miku. It just hurt.
"Look, I know we got off on the wrong foot, but honestly, you seem like a nice enough person. Let's just forget all about Friday, and start off new."
Rin stared back at her, with unblinking eyes. She squinted at her. "You want to be..." "Friends." Miku finished off her sentance, smiling.
Rin's mouth dropped. "You've got to be kidding me."
Miku shook her head. "Nope!"
"Seriously?" Rin couldn't beileve her.
"Seriously." Miku confirmed.
Rin was speechless. "I... I... wow, you've really got me in a loop right now..." Rin admitted with a nervous smile. "I really don't know what to say."
Miku shrugged. "Well, it's up to you. I just think it'd be better than sitting around moping about it. We don't have to hate eachother."
Rin stared down at her lap. Miku was right... But she still didn't know...
"Well, I'll let you get back to your family. You don't have to decide now, but let me know sometime if you see me in the halls at school! See you around, Rin. Have a good night." She said, gently patting her back, before leaving Rin dazed and confused, for the second time in the same day.
