Long time no see guys, lol, I figured I should update again ASAP since I've not been updating as frequently ^^; So here it is~! Chapter 6! :D
Disclaimer: I do not own Vocaloid
First Time and New Abuse
Rin's POV
Life was great. I'd wake up, late like always, walk to school with my best friend Miku, not pay attention to the bullying aimed at me, and go straight to Vocaloid High with the tealette diva as Vocaloid High's new pianist. Life couldn't get any better. However, everything changed one morning during homeroom.
Hands slammed on my desk and I looked up to stare at Mami, "Kagamine." She said threateningly,
"H-hello, Mami."
"What's been with you?" Her eyes narrowed as she leaned close to my face, "You've been too happy."
"I . . . didn't know there was such a thing." I replied sweatdropping.
"Well, there is according to me; now explain yourself."
"No, it's none of your business."
"It is so since I'm the class president!" I glared at her,
"That's not a good enough reason for me to tell you." Suddenly my phone vibrated in my pocket and I took it out before opening up the text from Miku though I kept her contact name as Kimi to keep her identity safe. 'Make sure ur able to come after school Mr. Takahata said u've a new song to learn :9 C u there, Rinny~'
"What's that about? Who's that man? Wait isn't Kimi Miku? I was there when she performed in the cafeteria." Mami glared at me with her arms folded as she demanded answers,
"It's not your business, Mami!" Thankfully the bell saved me and homeroom began. School continued like normal but I felt the cold daggers the curly haired brunette was hurling imbedding themselves into my small body.
~After school~
I walked out of the school with my school bag held in front of me as I stared at the gravel below. Then suddenly someone playfully pushed me from behind, "Rin~!" Miku cried as she smiled at me with her brown wig stirring in the wind,
"Oh, hi Miku." I replied quietly,
"What's wrong?" I smiled at the ground somberly,
"Nothing, it's just everyone is bullying me a lot more lately . . . Mami says that I've been 'too happy'." She raised an eyebrow,
"There's really such a thing?" I stared at her and smiled feebly,
"Apparently." She put an arm around my shoulder,
"Well, at any rate don't listen to them ok? Don't show them that they're getting to you because they'll never stop." I smiled,
"Thanks a lot, Miku." She smiled back,
"Hey, what are friends for?"
"C'mon, guys, lesbihonest." Two boys from our school cried as they passed by on their skateboards.
"Fuck you!" Miku cried and I flinched with a mischievous smile,
"Hatsune Miku!" She shrugged,
"What?" I giggled as did she, "There's that smile I love." She took my hand, "Let's go~!"
"'Kay~!"
~Vocaloid High~
We walked into the school and I was once again dumbfounded at its size and elegant appearance. Miku laughed, her voice like a bell, "You sure can't get over being here can you?"
"Uh no and I most likely never will!" She laughed again and a man in a beige suit and pans walked towards us,
"Hello you two." He looked at me, "Are you ready to get started?" I nodded,
"Yeah!"
"Alright then, let's go." He led us to the music room I had wandered into not too long ago when Miku surprised me,
"Good luck, Rinny."
"Hm? Whataya mean? Aren't you gonna stay?"
"No, sorry. I'm meeting the other Vocaloids to work on some new songs. I'll walk ya home though!"
"Okay, by the way will I ever meet the others?"
"Hard to say." Mr. Takahata replied, "They're always busy with songwriting and making music videos as well as planning tours and concerts." My heart fell a little,
"Oh." I said quietly but smiled a little, "Okay, see ya later, Miku."
"Sayonara~!" She chirped before hurrying down the hall, her long teal pigtails streaming behind her like ribbons.
"Alright, Rin, are you ready to start?" I nodded happily and we walked into the music room. I sat at the piano and he handed me some sheet music. "This is Miku's new song Heavenz. She just wrote it and we're planning on her performing it for the next concert." I nodded,
"Alright, I'll give it a go." I then began to play slowly as I began to familiarize myself with the notes while the teacher leaned against the wall, arms folded, and eyes closed as he focused on my playing. I sat in that room for hours and finally was able to play the song very smoothly but still had to look at the music; I wasn't that good that I could memorize a new song within a few hours. I sat back and sighed,
"Very good, Rin, very good. Miku was right when she said what great musical potential you have. I smiled at his praise,
"Thank you so much, sir!"
"Though she did say you sang like an angel." That's when my smile faded as I had never told anyone, except Miku, about my throat cancer,
"Oh . . . I'm sorry, but my throat's been quite raspy so I doubt my singing would sound angelic if I did." I sweatdropped a little and he smiled as he waved his wrist,
"Don't worry about it, let me know because I would really love to hear your voice Miku speaks so highly of." I continued to smile feebly,
"Aye, sir." (1)
"Well I'll see you tomorrow then?" I stood and picked up my bag as I headed out the music room door,
"Yep, by the way will I have to come here on weekends?"
"No, you've got the weekend off. It's just like normal school." He looked at his watch, "Oh goodness, I've got a meeting with the others now. I'll see you tomorrow, Rin." I nodded and waved him off as he hurried down the hall then slowly dropped my arm and sadly stared at the tile floor. Yeah. . Just like normal school . . . except for the bullying and abuse . . .
I walked home. Miku didn't show up like she said. I was all alone as I walked to my apartment in the dark. The streetlights buzzed and their light attracted swarms of insects. The moon shone above in the sky speckled with tiny white stars. I stood still for a moment looking at the image then a chilly breeze made my body shiver, motivating me to hurry home. "Hey look it's the blonde from Homeroom 205. You know the one who's lesbo for Kimi" I heard snickers and turned to see one of the boys who flipped us off earlier. I continued to walk as his group called me names and laughed behind me,
"Bitch!"
"Whore!"
"Cunt!"
"Music's a waste! Give it up! We heard you give Mami health problems 'cause you're always late!"
"Yeah, you better give that up or she'll end up in the hospital!"
"We definitely don't want that!"
"Wait a second, she was that bitch Miku ran off with the other day when she appeared during lunch!"
"Yeah, so does that mean she's with them Vocaloids now?" They all laughed,
"What a selfish whore! Chasing her musical dreams when she knows it's banned and going off with them! While Mami just gets more worry wrinkles burdening her beautiful face." Then they all began to cheer loudly,
"Blonde bitch, blonde bitch, Mami'll die from her musical itch! Blonde bitch, blonde bitch, Mami'll die from her musical itch!" They then burst out laughing and tears escaped my eyes, but I didn't let them see and I did not run because they would know how much they got to me. They'd know how hard their daggers pierced my heart. At last I made it home but I only walked up my stairs then flopped face-down on my pillow and cried and cried. As much as my first time playing at Vocaloid High exhilarated me, the new abuse just kept shooting me down. They still don't know why music's forbidden on school grounds . . . and I know they'd only think the truth was to give me more attention . . . attention I did not want . . . I cried and cried until I fell asleep.
