Senbonzakura high school - A VOCALOID Fanfiction.

Classtime!~

IA's POV

      "Ia, will you hurry up? How long does it take you to change your shoes?" Gumi sighs as I struggle to shove my foot into my brown wafer. Gumi musses her hair a little, removing her bow-shaped hair clip for a moment to flatten it. She then clips it back into her hair by slipping it in. I 'look up at her.

      "Since when do you wear those girly hair clips? I ask her, smirking. Gumi rolls her eyes as she pats her hair down.

     "I'm trying to wear something new everyday," she says. "It's my New Years Resolution." I blink.

      "It's Spring."

       "S-so what? It's a little late, but.." Gumi trails off and turns to look at me, still sitting on the floor. "Stop distracting me and hurry up; I swear we're going to be late. Why can't we be on time for once..?" She mutters the last part under her breath. I sigh.

      "Fine." I say, finally getting up. Gumi looks triumphant. "Let's g--" 

I don't get to finish my sentence as something rams into me and sends me tumbling backwards. I groan, rubbing my forehead. "Ow.." I look up at Gumi, who's towering over me.

"Ia, are you okay? That was some fall."

"Yeah, I'm fine.. did you run into me?" I ask, taking her hand and standing up. Gumi shakes her head and points over to a boy who's dusting himself off. He has icy blue eyes and blue-green hair. "Oh..!" I exclaim. Great, Ia. You finally get a chance to talk with Mikuo and you run into him? Nice going. 

I cautiously walk over to him. "I'm sorry for running into you.. are you alright?" 

"Yeah, I'll be fine." He says, a little too sharply. I shift my gaze to the ground. 

"Sorry. Have a nice day." I mumble and dash away to Gumi. I can practically feel his eyes burning into the back of my head before he walks away. I almost throw myself on Gumi.

"Oh my god did you see that he totally hates me what do I do Gumi--?!" I say, so quickly my tongue hurts once I finally shut my mouth. Gumi rolls her eyes. 

"Oh, please," She says, pushing me off of her. "Don't be a dork. Just give it time. He doesn't hate you." 

"He's the most popular boy in the school! I ran into MIKUO! He'll never talk to me again!" I say dramatically. Gumi opens her mouth to tell me off again, but the bell drowns her voice out and the hallway is soon full of students, pushing past each other to get to their lockers. I manage to stand on my tiptoes over the sea of students and wave at Gumi.

"Jaa ne! ( see you ) Meet me after class!" I dissolve into the crowd, pushing past everyone, trying to get to class. I, again, run headfirst into something again-- although this time it's a lot softer. I retreat, only to see Luka's chest. Flustered, I back even farther away. "Sorry, Luka-Nee, I didn't see you--" 

She laughs. "It's fine, it's fine, it happens regularly." She responds lightly. "You should get to class. Sorry for being a pain. But um, before I go, take this." She hands me a tiny pink envelope. 

"What's--" 

"And these, too." She cuts me off and hands me three other envelopes. 

"Luka, wh--" 

Before I can say anything else, she's already dashing away down the hallway. 

"See you later!" 

I sigh, looking down at the handful of the pink slips I have. They're all signed by Luka's loopy, neat, cursive handwriting. On one is labeled Rin. Another is Gumi. And then my name, IA. There's another, but unable to contain my curiosity, I open my letter. Inside, Luka's same handwriting. 

"You are invited to Luka's small party / sleepover to celebrate her 17th birthday!"  It reads. Under it, a date and time. I smile brightly. Luka had told me about it a few weeks before this. 

One of the letters slips from my hand and daintily flutters to the floor. I bend down to pick it up. 

On my knees, I read the envelope.

There, in swirly handwriting, it reads..

Miku.

MIKU?!

I gasp out loud. Miku, even though she seems unaware of it, is one of the most popular girls in school. I've never talked to her-- she's always surrounded by groups of people, but usually stays around Rin and Luka. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, but still..

Miku?

This sleepover is going to be a lot better than planned.
