Chapter 4: The Music Room

~*Rin's P.O.V*~

I sat through the entire second period, paying attention to the teacher every once in a while. Ugh this is taking forever, I thought absently. I started tapping my chin with my pencil, feeling the wood hitting against my skin. I must have dozed off, because Piko was now nudging my elbow. What had seemed like seconds, had been almost thirty minutes into class. Yes there is only fifteen minutes left in class, I thought victoriously. I glanced around to see the teacher passing out papers. Oh please don't let it be a test that she's handing out; its only the first day back and I'm not prepared and I wasn't even listening to you, I thought, feeling my heart plummet. I looked at Piko.

"What is she passing out?" I asked him, biting my lip.

"Nothing really, just cheerleading tryout forms and football stuff." He said, shrugging to show it wasn't a big deal. I felt myself smirking at him. He looked at me, suspicious of my smile.

"Rin...what are you smiling about?" He asked, leaning away from me slightly. I grinned wider as the teacher gave me a cheerleading form and Piko a football form.

"You should try out for football," I said, continuing to smile. He frowned and sighed.

"You know I'm more of a technological kind of guy. Why don't you and the rest of the girls try out for cheerleading?" He retorted, crossing his arms. I had to try my hardest to not laugh at his expression and body stance.

"Pfft, me try out for cheerleading? As if!" I laughed.

"Then I shouldn't have to want to try out for stupid football," He answered back, grinning in victory. I smirked.

"So you don't want to be a star quarter back and impress Miki even more?" I asked him, knowing I would win. He bit his lip, trying to think. I saw the look of defeat cross his features.

"Fine I will...but only if you and the others try out for cheerleading." He said finally, a smirk playing at his lips. Crud, I thought and tried to think of ways to get out of this. I sighed and gave in.

"Alright you have yourself a deal," I said and held out my hand for him to shake. He took it and shook it firmly. I grumbled under my breath as the teacher handed me my form and began to read it.

Cheerleading tryouts

Cheerleading practice will begin this coming Thursday, in the auditorium after school at 3:30 and end at 5:30. Practice will be held Mondays and Thursday for two weeks. We will go over the basics and help you with your stance. IF you miss a practice, you will not be allowed to tryout unless you have a DOCTORS note. NO EXCEPTIONS! Wear something that you can move freely in such as shorts and a t-shirt.

I sighed and face-palmed myself several times. I glanced over and saw Piko smirking at me.

"Oh shut up," I mumbled. I heard the bell ring, signaling us to go to third period. Once again I walked to my locker and grabbed my music folder, when I felt the hairs of my neck prickle, telling me someone was watching me. I looked around casually, but so no one in the hallway.

"Hmm," I said and shrugged, but the feeling didn't go away. I shut my locker and quickly walked to the music room. I already saw Mikuo sitting in a plastic chair, the one next to him was empty. I walked towards him.

"Is this seat taken?" I asked looking down on him. He shook his head no, getting strands of teal hair in his eyes. He...looks...amazing like that, I thought suddenly. Wait what? Mikuo was my friend! I can't think like that! All of a sudden I heard my name being called and saw Miku and Gumi over in the corner, waving at me like idiots. I face-palmed myself again and waved good-bye to Mikuo, who looked slightly upset. I smiled apologetically and turned and faced Miku.

"Hey baka's what's up?" I asked, taking a seat next to Gumi. I smirked at Gumi, who stared at me confused at me for a minute and then I mouthed, "So Yuuma huh?" She blushed and bit her lip. I giggled and then got hit by Miku's leek.

"Ow, meanie!" I giggle-yelled, rubbing my head. She rolled her eyes impatiently at me and sighed.

"I had to get your attention one way or another!" She told me, putting her hands on her hips, her leek was still in one hand.

"Okay well you have it now," I told her, eyeing the leek cautiously.

"We are all signing up for cheerleading!" Miku said, grinning. At least I didn't have to say anything, I thought happily. Gumi squealed and I laughed saying, "Okay sure," I tried imagining me in a skirt and shivered slightly at the idea.

"Hey crazy kids please sit down so that I may call role," Clara said, Bruno right behind her. Everyone sat down and lowered their voices slightly. Clara called role, while I began to tease Gumi.

"So you like the pink-haired type?" I smirked. Gumi was a deep shade of red and Miku was laughing, showing the same message that Gumi sent to Neru.

"Is it just me or is Yuuma hot?" Miku said, mimicking Gumi's voice. Gumi smacked Miku's arm which made us laugh harder. Clara and Bruno came up to the podium and began to take attendance. Though Clara and Bruno lived in Japan, they were actually Spanish, but had moved here three years ago. I wasn't quite sure why, but I didn't care to ask. We continued to talk as she took role.

"Kagamine Len? Where is Kagamine Len?" Clara asked. No one answered so she sighed.

"I guess he's absent," She said and marked him down. Oh well, I thought.

"Kagamine Rin?" Clara asked.

"Here!"Miku answered for me, trying to mimic my voice, but making it to high in the end. I punched her playfully in the arm.

"Megpoid Gumi?" Clara called out.

"Here," Gumi semi-mumbled.

"Speak up next time, okay?" Clara said and Gumi nodded, still a slight shade of pink. Clara finished the role and Bruno came up to explain to us about the rules and equipment. Suddenly I heard a door creak and everyone turned around to see Len walking in and one of his fan-girls hanging onto his hand, trying to hide her face behind her hair. Len mouthed sorry and ducked into a seat behind Miku, Gumi, and I. The girl was giggling and Len was trying to suppress a laugh, I could tell; he kept making a pfft noise.

"Names?" Clara asked, a notepad in her hand.

"Len Kagamine," Len said.

"Galaco, just Galaco," The girl, Galaco, said. Don't turn around Rin, I thought fiercely.

"Okay, I expect you two to stay in during lunch and come sweep the floors," Clara said, writing on the notepad. Galaco squeaked behind me and I had the urge to turn around and stare. So much for not meeting the right girl yet, I thought and I rolled my eyes, putting my elbows on my knees listening to what Bruno was saying.

"As you can see, these are the recording rooms over here behind me," He said motioning to the rooms behind him. There looked to be five small booths, each door had a number on it.

"I expect you to act maturely in here and not destroy anything important, and since there are twenty-five of you in here, I want you in groups of five, which I have already set up." He said and pulled out a piece of paper.

"Group one is Hatsune Miku, Oliver, Aoki Lapis, Ia, and Sonika. Group two is Hatsune Mikuo, Kagamine Rin, Megpoid Gumi, Kagamine Len, and Shion Taito. Group three is-" He said, but I wasn't listening. I'm stuck...with him, I thought over and over, until Gumi started shaking me.

"Hey Rin! We got booth number two, so we have to start making our own lyrics for our songs," She said, putting her hands on her hips.

"O-okay..." I started slightly, still stuck in my world.

"Yeah, hey want to make a song together?" She asked me, smiling hopefully.

"Uh...yeah...sure..." I answered back staring at a wall.

"Hey Rin are you okay? You seem kinda...distracted," Gumi inquired, waving her hand in front of my face.

"Yeah...I'm just fine..."
