Memories

Chapter 2

  "Rise and bow."

  I stood up out of my seat and copied what everyone else did. We all sat back down and started getting lectured by our teacher, Ms. Yamaha. I watched as the students groaned and slumped back in their seats. Mr. Player-What's-His-Face was just shamelessly staring seductively at our teacher. Mental note: age to him of who to screw doesn't matter. Better tell Neru... 

  "... and all of us have to introduce ourselves to the class." Our teacher ended her speech and we all groaned except for me. I just froze and stared at my notebook filled with doodles. Neru glanced at me from her seat next to mine in sympathy. I don't have anything interesting about myself! Plus I hate public speaking! 

  "First off, Mr. Kamui." 

  Neru scribbled on a piece of notebook paper and handed it to me. I quickly grabbed it and read the message. Gaku-poop or whatever was going on about samurai swords.

  You sure you're gonna be okay?

  I just nodded to her. The list of students went by quick with small comments like, "I like baseball," or, "I love video games," and even, "Call me!" I wasn't surprised Hatsune said that. 

  "... So if any of you gorgeous guys are desperate, give me a call." She winked and sat back down. As if by command, guys were starting to scribble their numbers down. Except for the guy over there. Doesn't look like he has a number to give except for a little game. A smirk played along his lips as he licked them and stared at Miku. I groaned inwardly at how Ms. Yamaha isn't noticing any of this. 

  "Kagamine?" Ms. Yamaha said. I stood up and so did What's-His-Face. Murmurs spread through the class as I stared at him. Neru wasn't lying after all when she said he had the same last name as me.... Or that he looks like my gender bent.... Or that she has met him before to know this..... What. The. Hell. 

  "Oh! Are you two twins?" The teacher asked with a gleam in her eyes. I scrunched up my nose and shouted, "No!" My look alike did the same thing at the same time. 

  There was an awkward silence then murmurs burst through the room. Neru giggled softly covering her mouth once she saw my face. Was there something on it or is my expression THAT priceless? 

  Ms. Yamaha cleared her throat noticeably loud, and the class silenced immediately. "Kagamine Rin is first." Mr. Player sat down and I threw him a sarcastic smile. He only snorted and I started my introduction. 

  "My name is Kagamine Rin and my age is fifteen. I like to play the piano and write music in my free time. I once had my music featured in my mom's play." I spoke with confidence I didn't know I had. I saw Neru was surprised too. I don't normally do as good under pressure or with public speaking. 

  The teacher looked interested. "Your mother is a playwright?" She asked. 

  I nodded. I shifted uncomfortably in my spot. Better not say she passed away.... "Yep. One of her plays showed on Broadway." 

  The class gasped and my gender bent was impressed. Shove that in your dirty mind, my mom's famous worldwide. I let out a slight "hmpf" and sat down with a triumphant smile on my face. I totally pulled that off. 

  "Ok then!" The teacher clapped her hands and she called out the other Kagamine. His name turned out to be Len. Sounds familiar but I can't put my finger on it.... But I know I haven't met him before. I would be having a deja-vu moment if I did. Heh. 

  Some girls squealed as he stood up. He glanced at me, smirked, then cleared his throat. Cliche move I might add. 

  "The name's Kagamine Len," He shot me a wink and I rolled my eyes and yawned. He continued. "I play the guitar, piano, and I like to sing. My father is an artist and once had his art displayed in a museum. And..." - he lazily pointed his gaze at me - "... I don't like manly tomboys who wear bows." 

  I slammed my hand down my desk loudly catching everyone's attention as I sent a glare to Len. He just shrugged with a smug smile.

Oh it's on!

♪-☆ ♥ ☆-♪

  I slammed my lunch tray down on the table. Neru flinched and dropped her phone she was texting from. I caught it swiftly and shoved it in her face where she slowly took from my clenched fist. 

  "I don't like him..." I said steely through clenched teeth. I glared at him as he let Miku lean on him and whisper inaudible words into his ear. A slut and a man-whore; what a perfect match, no? 

  Neru shrugged and poked at her mashed potatoes. "He dissed you out. Of course you don't." She grabbed her spork and scooped up some of her food and stuffed it in her mouth. She kept the spork hanging in her mouth. She swallowed, then took it out.

  I picked at my pizza and counted all the pepperoni slices. 1... 2... 3... 4... 5...

  "Trust me, though you are a tomboy, you aren't manly." Neru said as she retie her freakishly long golden hair. "I mean, you wear a freaking white bow on your head. What's manly about that? And you're skinny without packed muscles; another thing that isn't manly." 

  I nodded my head in agreement. I then frowned more than I was a second ago. "What about my clothes? Aint nothing girly about that." 

  Neru gave me a are-you-serious look and sighed. "Rin-chan, some of your clothes I would kill you for. And you know how I dress." 

  I sighed in defeat. She's got another point.... I heard a hand slam on the table making me look up in surprise. And look who decided to show up..... 

  "'Sup?" Len winked at Neru and she just scowled at him. He looked back at me with no emotion and sat down like he was cool and all. Excuse me - security guard over there - please get this horny pedophile far away from me as possible. Might I suggest strapping him onto a plane to Australia? 

  He flipped his hair to the side to reveal sapphire eyes. I'm going to barf and kill myself later but daaaamn. I could stare at those beautiful eyes all day.

  You didn't hear anything. Squirrel!

  "Look, sorry about shooting you down," Len looked away from me as he said this. "I got this reputation and I don't really want to... You know." 

  I raised a brow at him. Seriously? That's why you're coming over here? You're ruining your reputation by just SITTING here. I rolled my eyes and nudged Neru as she snickered a bit. 

  "Um... Guess I'm leaving now." And then he just got up and left, leaving Neru and I there just feeling awkward and... stuff. 

  Neru snickered and slammed her hand on the table. "How can the most popular guy became the most awkward?" 

  I opened my orange juice and chugged it, and then threw the empty carton in a nearby trashcan. "Ask him. I don't have a clue." 

  Neru shrugged and stopped midway from eating an orange slice, her mouth hanging wide open. I pointed at it. "You gonna eat that, Neru?" 

  She popped in into her mouth making me frown then I turned my head to see what she was staring at. Oh great... Ignore the guy.... Ignore the guy....

"Kagamine-san,"

I looked up and cringed then looked at Neru for help. She whistled like nothing happened then picked up her tray and sat down with some of her other friends. Gee, thanks for the help.....

"Rin-chan,"

  I sighed then finally looked up to see the brother of my arch-enemy I once dated. I stared at him with no emotion but inside I felt my heart racing and myself cowering under his cold stare. Those blue eyes aren't helping.....

  I swallowed and finally spoke.

  "Nice to see you here..... Hatsune Mikuo..."

A/N: DUN DUN DUN!!!!!! Ok, cliffhanger is horrible.... Hell, the chapter is horrible and freakishly short.... I had a bit of writers block and then I had no idea what to write. I don't even know where this is going. I don't even know what Mikuo wants from Rin yet..... Notice how I said yet.

Vote and comment for a faster chapter! Maybe a fan?

EDIT: Forgot to mention this. Notice what I did there with the teacher's name? Ahem, Ms. Yamaha. Hatsune's are to the right :)
