"Sunday night..." Luka whispered, as she walked back to her apartment. She hated working on the weekends but who was going to pay the rent? Pay the bills? And pay for food? Luka sighed softly, as she went to her door, she noticed that the hinges showed that the door was ajar, "What the..." Luka whispered, as she went into her purse and grabbed her pepper spray, "Hello..." Luka called out into the dark apartment, but as she walked around the corner, she saw a light coming from her refrigerator ajar, "Who is there?" She asked before flipping on the light switch, "MIKI!" Luka screamed, as she saw the girl pull away from the fridge slightly, "What the hell are you...Wait. How did you even get in here?" Luka asked,
Miki giggled softly, "Well, for starters, its nice to see you too, Luka-chan. And I just told your doorman, I was your cousin, and I had seemed to have lost my key. And he let me in. And by the way, you are out of cherries." Miki smiled ever so cutely, "So, how is Luka-chan?" Miki asked,
"For starters, I almost had a heart attack. Second, I am good. Miki, what the hell are you doing here?" Luka asked,
"Well, I came to see you, duh. Besides, I feel as if you haven't missed me. I am soooo sad now." Miki pouted softly, then walked to the sofa with a huge bowl of cherries. She sat down, and took a cherry off the stem and began to eat away,
"Look, Miki, I am glad that you are here, really. But I almost sprayed pepper spray in your eyes." Luka stated as she walked to the chair that was diagonal from the sofa, "Miki, seriously, what are you doing here?" Luka asked, with a brow arcing slowly,
"Wellll, I sort of ran away. I was just getting bugged by the old man. And the old lady didn't make things any better." Miki shrugged, as she rested the bowl against the table, "So..."
"You thought you could come here, and escape from all your troubles. Miki..." Luka was cut off,
"Luka, you know I hardly ask for anything, please let me stay. I'll do anything." Miki stated, she watched Luka's features change drastically, "Uh...Luka."
"Fine you can stay. However, you'll be going to the same school as myself. And you'll be the Vice President of the Student Council. I have things to do this week. And I am getting worn down with all of the damn duties. But if you don't want to, you'll have to pack your...Er...Bag, and leave." Luka stated, then heard a soft whine, "Fine, you'll be going to the same school. I'll figure out what to do from there." Luka felt herself fall back in her chair, "kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"
"Sorry!" Miki got up immediately from pouncing on Luka, "B...Wait...Will I get in trouble for staying here?" Miki asked,
"I'll just tell them you are my cousin, isn't that how you got in?" Luka asked, with a soft chuckle, "By the way, we have five stars coming to the school now. Mik..." Luka didn't get out the rest,
"I KNOW! That is another reason I came!" Miki stated, with a huge gleam in her eyes,
"Your parents weren't being rude, were they? You just wanted to come to the school that had the Vocaloids here, am I right?" Luka asked with her brow arched,
"Y..Yeah." Miki responded as she walked to the empty room, and began to unpack,
"Just make yourself comfortable..." Luka thought as she had a roll of her eyes, then leaned in the chair sighed ever so softly, Luka didn't want the night to get any worse, and how can a night get worse? When people don't shut up, and they send texts randomly, and then the phone is blown up with random texts,
To Luka:
From Gumi:
"THIS IS SO AWESOME!"
To Gumi:
From Luka:
"What's awesome?"
To Luka:
From Gumi:
"Well, for starters you will be meeting up with Crypton's President in two days! And ya know...Like Miku and them are going to our school!"
To Gumi:
From Luka:
"I am not sure if I can go. I need a Vice President to take on the other duties. And seeing no one is stepping up to the plate to play ball here. I am stuck going to every damn club and making sure everything is going good. Screw my future, right?"
To Luka:
From Gumi:
":-(
Don't be like that! You will get your chance!"
To Gumi:
From Luka:
"Rightttt. Look, I am going to go to bed. I need to be at school early."
Just when Luka was getting set for bed, she got some random text from some random person, and now she was getting pretty pissed off.
To Luka:
From Unknown Number:
"Hey Luka-sama!"
To Unknown Number:
From Luka:
"Who the hell is this?"
To Luka:
From Unknown Number:
"Its Hatsune Miku! I got your number from Gumi. You are not mad, are you? I was worried from the other night."
Luka rolled her eyes, and turned off her phone, "Awesome prank, Gumi. Awesome. Make my life a living hell there." Luka thought as she laid down in her bed, and eventually fell asleep. She needed to get her mind off of the so called 'prank' text. And she would come to realization that sometimes, texts can be actually from the real deal
Miku looked at her phone, and waited about an hour, "Did I text the wrong number? No...They would have told me." Miku thought as she looked around her rather large penthouse, and felt nothing but the coldness of the floor that her feet were currently sitting on, she decided to call Luka, and talk to her, however when she called she ended up hearing;
"HI! You have reached Megurine Luka! I am sorry I can't come to the phone. So, leave me a message, k? Thanks!"
Miku heard the loud beep and sighed, "Luka-sama. Its Miku. Hatsune Miku. I am sorry if I had offended you in anyway...I...I just wanted...To uhm...I just wanted to know that you were...Er...Okay from the other night. Bye..." Miku hung up the phone, and slowly laid down and went to sleep, or at least tried to.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Shit Tuesday Already?!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Luka looked at her calender, then the time, "SHIT!" She yelled, and made Miki fall out of bed, Luka heard the thud but paid no heed towards the noise, she was now running around the apartment like a chicken with their head cut off, she ran into Miki's room, "Wake...Oh. Your awake, good. Now get ready for school!" Luka exclaimed as she ran towards the bathroom, she literally jumped into the water that wasn't even hot, "AHHHH!" She screamed, as she hurried through the showering process. "God, I can't believe I am fucking late!" Luka stated beneath her breath, even though there was still about forty-five minutes till school started, she was usually done with her shower, done eating breakfast and had brushed her teeth, not today. In fact, she was rushing when she didn't need too.
Luka ran out of the bathroom, and saw Miki slowly walking towards the kitchen, "Pick up the pace, kid!" Luka stated,
Miki whimpered, "Luka, chill, okay? You'll do fine." Miki stated, she looked towards her 'cousins' features, "Luka..." Miki whispered,
"I..I'll do fine at what?" Luka asked, completely forgetting that today she was going to try out, for something that she even didn't know what she was trying out for,
"Hello...Luka are you in there?! Its your big day. Audition day! At Crypton. And I thought I was forgetful." Miki rolled her eyes, and immediately grabbed a small bowl of cherries, "Are you hungry..." Miki turned and saw Luka wasn't there, "Okay...Awkward." Miki whispered, after she had finished her cherries, she walked towards the bathroom, as she opened the door she saw Luka hunched over, crying, "Luka!" Miki ran to her aide, "What's wrong?!" Miki asked,
"I..I can't go! I have the damn clubs to go to. They just sprang it on me. They said Tuesdays were my day off! This is bullshit!" Luka exclaimed,
"Wait...I thought the audition was at eleven...Did he change it?" Miki asked, as she now had Luka crying into her,
"No. The school changed when I needed to see the clubs. I was to speak to everyone in the clubs. But now...Its just the presidents of each club." Luka whispered against her 'cousin's' shirt, "I...I.." Luka was cut off,
"I'll do it. I'll take on the duty for the day. Just tell me what I need to do." Miki stated with a soft tone in her voice,
"R..Rea...Really?" Luka pulled away, her hues were a little blood shot from the tears that have now stained her cheeks, she watched Miki nod her head fast,
"But...You know I need to take a shower." Miki stated with a soft giggled, Miki released Luka and got up, "Now, shoo." Miki stated as she got undressed and got into the shower.
Time had to seem past so fast. Luka could feel her heart beat, and feel her hands shake violently. Luka began to stand until the teacher pointed that she needed to sit down, Luka looked confused,
"Alright class, put your books away. And pencils out. Exam time." The teacher stated, she looked around the class, and saw how anxious Luka was, "Megurine Luka. Time for an exam, get your head on right." She stated, she walked through the class, and put the exams down on the desks, "Good luck class."
Luka tried to concentrate on the exam, but as her hues looked up to the clock, she saw eleven had passed rather fast. Luka slammed her head down on the desk. "D..Dam..Dammit." She thought, "There goes my huge shot out the window..." Luka mustered, she felt her heart shattered like glass within her body. She felt pain, and a lot of what seemed everything was going down the drain, before she could even pass the test up, she stood, and walked her test to the teacher, "Thanks." Luka stated in a very cold tone, and walked out of the classroom. Luka saw Meiko run towards her,
"How did it go?!" Meiko asked with a too happy of a tone, but when she saw Luka's features, that tone became one with concern, "Luka..."
"It went great. Because I didn't go. My teacher sprang a damn test on us. Now, I lost my chance." Luka sighed, and began her head against her locker, with a sigh, "Besides...He would have never chosen me anyway..." Luka whispered, as she saw felt her phone vibrate, "Oh...Look. Its him." Luka went to answer the phone, and instead of her answering, Meiko did,
"Matsumoto-san. Its Meiko."
"Meiko? Why are you answering, Luka's phone? Is she around?" He asked,
"She is standing next to me. And she is pretty upset." Meiko replied,
"She should be. She had her chance and now she lost it." Matsumoto stated,
"Sir...I know she has let you down. I know if I was in your position, I would be pissed off too. But Luka is to good to let go. Believe me. I've heard her sing. And its like an Angel singing."
"An angel, huh?" He asked,
"Yes sir! I promise you, she is that amazing! I'll bring her, myself." Meiko stated,
"Today at four. Last chance, Meiko. I am serious. Her last chance." Matsumoto stated, before hanging up the phone.
Meiko threw Luka's phone up in the air, and she watched Luka catch the phone, "You got one more chance at four today. I am taking you." Meiko winked, "Time will go slow from here on, just letting you know." Meiko stated with a smile,
"An angel?! WHY...Ahem, why would you say that?!" Luka asked, as her hues searched in the hues of her friend's, "Why..."
"Because you do sound like an angel. And besides, if you want to impress, Miku. You better go. Instead of being a damn coward and hiding in the dark. Ciao baby." Mieko laughed as she walked away.
Time surely did go really slow. And when four came around, Luka stood in front of the doors of Crypton, she felt so very sick to her stomach. But she needed to get this done and over with.
