Rin's POV


Its already been one day since I transferred here and I have got to say I am pretty impressed. I never expected a real school to be so...how to put it....magical. You can just feel the happiness and pleasure radiating from each and every student. 

I don't only think this school is good because of the students. It's also because of its facilities. Each and every club room has been personalized to fit each club members personal preferences while also fitting others. It's truly remarkable. 

While exploring the school I come across a tennis court. I smile gently. Most of my very precious memories were made on tennis courts and just the sight of makes my spirits lift. I sigh quietly and walk away. Although most of my best memories were made there, so were some of the worst.

You are mine

Forever

I cringed. I have been hearing this voice in my head ever since I can remember. It would leave for a while but would always come back. It never seemed to fully leave.

"I wish it would..." I whisper to myself. 

Shaking my head, I head back to the school building. I don't want to get detention whatever that is, everyone here seems to be wary of it. 

>[][]<

In the end, I still got detention. Apparently it's when you sit in a classroom for hours on end for no absolute reason. I have it with a boy called Len. He seems nice enough. Can't be sure though.

He and I sit at a desk at opposite ends of the classroom. We don't say anything. What's there to say? Because of that, there is an awkward yet comfortable silence. I think. I've never been good at reading the atmosphere.

I try to start a conversation. 

"Why is it so bad to be late to class? At least we still got there, right?" I ask him. But insted of replying he just stares at me and looks away. I wonder if I said anything wrong. I hope not. 

Soon detention was over and we both started to leave. But then he said something.

"Do you like bananas?" I stared at him. His face started to turn pink. What a random question. But I still replied.

"I do but I like oranges better. They taste nicer." I smiled at him. I'm glad he talked to me for once. He frowned. 

"No, bananas taste nicer. Everyone knows that." I looked at him, then smiled and burst out laughing. He soon joins in. It feels nice to laugh with someone so freely like this. I've never felt anything like this before.

We started walking outside until we got to my limo. We turned to each other, I was about to say goodbye but he spoke first. 

"It was nice to finally talk to you Kagamine-san, you're a very nice person. I hope to see you around soon." He walked away. 

[]Len's POV[]

Nailed it! What I said was absolutely perfect! I hope she liked it, I walked away before she could say anything. But still, I'm proud off myself. 

"Yo,Len!" I jumped. I knew from the voice that it was Ryoma but it's kinda hard not to jump when someone calls you out of nowhere. I turn around. 

"Yo. What are you doing here, didn't you already go home?" I questioned. He usually never waits for me.

"We had tennis practice so after that I decided to wait for you. By the way, Buchou's mad you for getting detention. You are so going to get it tomorrow." Ryoma smirked. He seems to like it whenever I get in trouble. He was right though. I have no idea how much laps he'll make me do, but I have a feeling it's going to be a lot.  

"Yep, I'm done for. May as well start writing my will." My lips cure into a small smile. Ryoma looks at me sympathetically and cups my shoulder. 

"It was nice knowing you. Oh,he'll  probably make you drink the new type of drink Inui made." I grimace. He just has to rub it in doesn't  he? That's Ryoma for you.

"Well, see you tomorrow, I guess" I say. He waves before walking home. I sigh to myself, now to face my own home.

Today's the day. 

Today's the day I face my death by Buchou. I have never felt so reluctant to get out of bed in my life. But in the end I did because I'm walking to school rightwing for early morning tennis practice. 

"Len! " Someone calls out to me. Eiji-senpai, he's my favorite tennis player. I just love the way he uses agility, grace and gymnastics to his advantage. You could say that he's my idol. I just adore him. 

Good morning, Eiji-senpai! How are you today?" I always put on my best behaviour around him, I want him to think good of me. 

"I'm good, thanks Len-nya" he replies. That -Nya- thing is so cute no matter how much he says it. I'm pretty sure my eyes have turned into hearts by now. I'm so happy  I live close to him, that way I can walk to school with him everyday. 

We walk together, talking. Well, it's Eiji-senpai who does the talking, I just listen. I like it better that way though. I don't really have anything important to talk about anyway. 

"So,Len~. How's your love life been?" He ask's teasingly. I blush a little, thinking back to Kagamine-San. Eiji-senpai notices and tries to get me to tell him. I refuse every time. My love life is not something I talk about freely. Especially because it's almost non existent. 

I feel around in my pocket for my good luck charm. My dad gave it to me, when he caring and nice. He said that it was my mother's favourite figure. It was a cute little boy holding a tea cup and drinking tea. Dad said she loved it and would drink it on a daily basis. It made me feel safe so I have always carried it with me. It gives me courage. Quite amazing for charm right? 

As we approach closer to the school, I take a deap breath. This is it. 

I walk into the tennis club changing room. As I walk in I feel everyone's eyes on me, or maybe it's just my imagination. Who knows? 

[]Rin's POV[]

I'm still thinking about what Len said to me yesterday evening. His voice seemed so confident yet his eyes shined with uncertainty. His hands also shook as he spoke implying that he was also nervous. How can one person's body language portray such different aspects of life? 

While still thinking I out the window as trees, plants and other cars whizzed past. I rolled down the window but resisted the urge to stick my head out. That would be unladylike. But it felt good to feel the light breeze on my face. So refreshing.

The limo soon came to a complete stop. I opened the car door and stepped out, ready for another day off school. 

As I walk to the classroom, I think about the other clubs I might want to join. Maybe the art club. Or track and field. The teacher told that I have to be in a school club, it's a school policy. She gave me until the end of the week but by then I have to find a club. 

Looking at all the choices I have its kinda hard to choose. Oh well, I'll think about it later. I have time.

A/N: Okay, so I'm sure that you guys have noticed that everything has been going slow these past few  chapters. I did that on purpose. From know on though, things will start to pick and the story will start focusing more on the main plot. I just wanted to tell you guys in case you get confused with the sudden jump. 

PS: I've been thinking of adding a side story about Ryoma's love life. I pretty much have everything set already but I wanted to know what sexuality you want Ryoma to be. Straight, Bi or Gay. I don't really mind either one (I don't discriminate people based on sexuality they are). So please, comment what you want Ryoma to be. By the way, both stories will tie into each other. 

Get ready! It's gonna be one hell of a ride.

Don't forget to Vote and comment! (If you want to, I'm not forcing you.) Bye! ^_^
