"Huff, huff, huff," I panted as I arrived at the clasroom, while slamming open the door, hard. Everyone in the classroom, including my homeroom teacher stared at me, it's so quiet, you can even hear a pin drop. I stood there feeling awkward.
"Well class, since Nozomi arrived late, AGAIN, why dont we give her a heavier punishment?" Said my homeroom teacher, evilly.
Almost all of the of the classroom agreed, except for my best friends, Ayase Eri and Yazawa Nico. A moment later, ai was standing outside of the classroom, balancing a bucket full of water on my head, and other two buckets on my shoulder, supported by a stick thingy.
"Huh...." I sighed as the bell rang. Eri helped me removing the bucket from my head.
"Thanks,"
"No problem, but promise me that you are not going to come to school late again," advised Eri.
"Yeah, you got to be more punctual, man," said Nico.
"Fine, it's just that these scary dreams have been bothering me." I said, half laughing.
"What is your issue? Why are you laughing like a kid who has a secret? Asked Nico, half annoyed.
"Well, it's just that you said 'man' and in that tone too."
"Yeah, so what's the problem?"
"It's just, usually, you're all 'Nico Nico Nii!'" Mimiced Eri, noticing the joke.
All of us laughed, except for Nico.

'Ring!! Ring!!' Goes the last bell of the day. My friends are waiting outside. I packed up my stuff in my backpack and waited for the whole class to leave, 'cause the door will be packed and all the pushing and stuff. Plus, I'm claustraphobic. Suddenly, when I was stepping out of the classroom, I bumped into someone.
"Ouch! Sorry, I was not looking, I should have been more carefu-" I cut myself. Right there in front of me, was my as-long-I-can-remember crush, Kagamine Len.
"Huhh.. So dreamy..." I thought, I felt could just stare forever in his eyes...
Suddenly, Len grabbed me by the hand and he brought me to a hidden area near to the music room, and pinned me on the wall.
"You are Toujou Nozomi, right?" Asked Len.
"Y-yes," I stammered.
"You must not know what you don't know, and you must not understand what you don't understand," he said.
Then, he ran and left me glued to that spot.
"What do you mean, Len? What do you mean?" I thought.
Something was wrong with Len. He didn't looked the way he used to look like. Bright eyes, looking into the bright future, and his smile was sure to light up anyone's day. But now, he just seem, controlled and in despair..
"Nozomi!!! Hurry up, or we'll go without you!" Shouted Nico.
"Coming!"
