Vocaloid High

Being Ditched

*Hatsune's POV*

~Time skip to Friday the day before the ball~

It was Friday already and I was in advanced English lit. I stared at the front of the class as Mikuo and Luka talked about their family tree's and life styles. Luka was quite the bragger and Mikuo bragged a tiny bit but not much. Luka's mom and dad were both owners of an electronic companies. Mikuo's parents were both owners of real estates and hotels. Soon more pairs two by two more students talk about there life styles. Soon I could feel my legs shake with uneasiness I didn't want to go up Len though had a smirk on his face and I resisted the urge to slap it off his face.

Soon everyone has gone up to present their projects but we haven't but Mrs. Haruka said "Okay class those are all the projects open your literature book to page 251 and read til the end of the class." Almost everyone in the class glared at Len and I. I flinched lightly from all the glares, but Len continued to smirk and he shot them a glare back and everyone turned away and started reading. I whispered to Len "How come Mrs. Haruka didn't tell us to present? Not that I mind but she didn't call on us." Len chuckled lightly and smiled at me "Hatsune I talked to Mrs. Haruka yesterday after school I told her you didn't want to share some stuff with the class it was too personal but you didn't mind sharing it with her. She said today after school we could come back and present just for her alone and maybe a another teacher." I stared at Len for a few seconds and whispered to him "Really? You did that for me?" He nodded and smiled and I could feel a light blush come on to my cheeks so I stared at the floor "Oh thank you I really appreciate it." He smiled again and said "No problem." I saw his smile out of the corner of my eye and felt my heart race.

I did as Mrs. Haruka said and started reading page 251 and on. I felt a poke on my arm on my left side and smiled as I realized Mikuo sat on my left side and he said "Hey are you excited for tomorrow night?" I nodded "Yes, very surprisingly. At first I despised it but now I like the idea of it more and more with each passing minute." He smiled and soon I felt another poke but from my right side and Len said "What's Mikuo talking about?" I smiled "Mikuo asked me to go to the ball with him." Len glared at me for a second and stared reading and growled very quietly and said "Well have fun!" He said it with a tone that made me flinch from the harshness. I looked at my hands for a second and thought to myself 'Did I say something..?' I tried to read again but I couldn't. I just stared at the same page for 15 minutes straight! I couldn't even read past the first paragraph..

I really didn't understand why Len got so angry that I would be going with Mikuo. He was sweet just a minute ago and then he loses it on me. I tried to focus on the book I soon got very absorbed in it it was a story about a girl who lost everything her family their wealth every possession they ever owned. The only thing she had left was a few photographs. She eventually had to move on with her life she became a very popular author and is now one of the top authors in the world. I smiled slightly at this and the bell rang. Len was out of the class before I could even say see you after school for the presentation. I stayed in my spot frozen for a few seconds and Mikuo put his hand on my shoulder and chuckled quietly "If I didn't know any better I would've said Len is mad i'm going to the dance with you."

I laughed quietly "Don't be ridiculous, i'll see you tomorrow night?" He nodded "Definitely!" With that he gave me another smile and walked out and left me wondering 'Was Len really upset that I was going to the ball with Mikuo?' I shook my head of these thoughts I was gonna end up torturing myself like this. I almost ran out of the class to get on time to my next class.

~Time skip after school that same day~

*Still Hatsune's POV*

I was in Mrs. Haruka's class after school and tapped my foot lightly against the floor waiting for Len to appear so we could present. He hadn't shown and I was growing more anxious by the moment. I stared at the floor and sighed 'He isn't coming' I thought to myself. I said "Mrs. Haruka it doesn't look like Len is gonna show can I just present my part of it." Mrs. Haruka nodded "Of course please go ahead." I started off with naming my family members and then I came to the part about my parents death but looked at the floor while I talked about it. I then continued to talk about my life style being alone in this city but studying as best as I could to be a lawyer like my mother or even a doctor or a business woman.
