Vocaloid: VOCAL ACADEMY

Singing - #3

Last time: Miku met the Kagamine twins, Popular Len and Rin with Attitude, and also met Megurine Luka, a friendly pink haired girl.

Luka's PoV

I saw the new girl in the cafeteria sitting alone. She has long, turquoise pigtails and cheerful blue eyes. I decide to go and introduce myself to her, seeing as she was all alone.

I walk over to her. "Is this seat occupied?" I ask her politely. At first she looks a little startled, but that expression quickly dissolved into a warm smile.

"No, it's not." she replies. I sit down and took my bento [Japanese lunch box] out of my bag.

"My name is Megurine Luka. I hope we can be friends." I say with a smile.

Miku's PoV

I smiled at my first friend. "I'm Hatsune Miku, and I'd love to be your friend!" I chirp happily. Luka giggles and begins eating.

"So, I see you've met the Kagamine Twins." Luka points out, to which I nod.

"Len seems really nice, and also rather popular. His sister confuses me, though." I frown, recalling Rin's cold attitude and harsh words earlier.

Luka nods, rolling her blue eyes. "You don't want to get on Rin's bad side, I guess" she says with a nervous chuckle. I laugh along with her.

"Yeah. I hope she shows her warm side soon!" I respond, half jokingly, half seriously.

Luka doesn't immediately respond, causing me to look at her, slightly confused.

"...yeah." Luka responds after a long hesitation, and carries on eating. I shrug to myself, deciding not to question it.

Luka and I both remain silent for a while. The silence is a little awkward.

"Do you like to sing?" She eventually asks me, looking at me hopefully.

I blink slowly, trying to decide how I should answer that question.

"Yeah, I guess, but... I don't think I'm that good." I admit to her. Luka tilts her head to one side, like a puppy.

"Sing." She demands.

"Wait, me? Sing?" I ask with a nervous laugh. Is she joking? I hope she is...

However Luka kept a serious expression on her face, making me gulp nervously.

"Go on, please?" She urges me.

I averted my gaze from her and stare at the down, hesitating for a few moments before responding.

"Luka, there are lots of people around - I don't want them to hear me as well!" I squeak, looking around at the other students.

Luka keeps thoughtfully quiet for a bit, before smiling at me.

"Fair enough. But next time, I won't give up so easily, okay?" She tells me with a playful smirk on her face.

I giggle at her sentence. I suppose she likes singing.

Then the bell rings. Luka and I walk to class together, seeing as we both had Science.

===========================

Urgh.

Science has never been my strong point. I had to keep asking Luka questions about the periodic table - so much in fact, that I'm surprised she hasn't lost her patience yet.

Eventually the bell rings - school is over with, for today. I smile to myself as I pack my bags. I'm about to walk out of the classroom, but Luka pulls me to a side.

"Eh?" I look at her inquisitively. She waits until the last few students have left the room before explaining why she  has held me back.

"There's nobody else around to hear you... so please sing." She asks me hopefully. I sigh. Luka must have seen my worried expression, for her face creases with guilt.

"I'm sorry... You don't have to. I was just curious..." She tells me with a sigh, looking disappointed as she turns away to pack her bag.

"Uh, n-no, it's fine... I'll sing." I tell her, giving in. Luka looks back at me happily.

"Go ahead!" She says, smiling and taking a seat. I gathered up my courage and start to sing.

I open my mouth to sing the last couple words, but to my surprise, someone else has already finished it.

"Yo ne."

I twist around and look at Luka with wide eyes. She had heard it to. I cringe at the fact someone, other than Luka and myself was in here, listening to me.

But.... who?

Cliffhanger! Who do you think it was..? :3 Arigato for reading, and sayonara~!
