Chapter 7 - The Paddleboat Race

~ (Y/N)'s POV ~

      I looked at Len worriedly. Everyone around us was already forming into groups.

"Len-Len, what do we do?" I asked

Len sighed and covered his face with his hands. "I guess we have to find two other people..."

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a white-haired girl- well, her hair was more of a cream color than white... I smiled at Len.

"There's someone right there!"

"Great. Go talk to her."

I smirked at Len and took a few steps away from him. "Okay. Maybe I will."

Len rolled his eyes as I made my way towards the girl. After I gave her a small tap on the shoulder, she turned her head around.

"Huh?" She asked with confusion.

"Would you like to be part of my group?" I asked.

The girl sighed with relief and nodded. "I don't know anyone here. Thanks! I'm IA."

"Wait, the IA?"

IA giggled softly. "I guess you could call me that."

We walked over to Len and IA smiled.

"Hi! Len, right? We've met at a concert or two I believe."

Len nodded. "Yeah. We need one more person, (Y/N)."

I nodded and pointed to a girl behind him. "Why don't you go ask that girl?"

"There is no way we are having an all-girls group!"

"Wait, are you a girl, Len?" IA asked with confusion.

Len's face flushed red. "What-?! No!!! Why do I have to ask her?!"

"Oh, I believe that's Gumi-San. I could go ask her." IA offered.

Len nodded. "Yeah, thanks."

IA walked away and began to chat with Gumi. After a bit, the two walked back. Gumi put her hands on her hips and laughed.

"So! Let's find a paddle boat and race to the other side!"

"Race?" I started in a clear state of confusion.

"Yeah. Miku-Chan's team thinks they can beat us to the other side."

Crossing her arms, it was obvious Gumi was confident in her abilities. She held her head high and made another statement with a smirk.

"We're gonna prove Little Miss Perfect wrong."

I smirked and nodded. "Okay, let's do this. Miku won't know what hit her."

Gumi gave me a high five. "You're pretty cool, what's your name?"

"I'm (Y/N)."

"Cool. Let's kick Miku's butt."

The four of us walked over to the paddle boat next to Miku and her team. Miku's team consisted of Rin, Luka, Kaito, and herself. Rin smirked devilishly. Len flinched and looked away.

"On three, we go." Said Gumi with a glare.

Miku nodded. Miku was the Vocaloid queen. She's the first of the main six. Gumi is the queen of her group. I should've expected that the two would be at each other's throats in every competition this summer.

~ Len's POV ~

      "Ready?" Asked Miku with a smirk.

Gumi cackled. "Are you?"

Miku rolled her eyes. "On three. One... Two... Three!!!"

Before I realized it, our boat flew further into the lake. The boat began to spin as I unconsciously stopped paddling. Gumi smacked the back of my head. I quickly got back to doing my 'job'. We watched as Miku's team gained speed and raced ahead. Gumi rolled her eyes, growled, and pushed our boat forward. Our team won by a split second. Gumi cheered in victory. Miku stood up in her boat to tell at us, but her boat tipped; causing all of her friends to fall into the freezing water. IA snickered and elbowed (Y/N). Somehow I didn't feel any remorse for Miku and the others. They never once treated me like a human, so why should I treat them as one?

I felt a pair of eyes locked onto me. Turning, I found (Y/N) looking at me. I raised an eyebrow, causing her to giggle and look away.

- What the heck was that? -

The four of us climbed onto the nearby hill. Misaki stood on the dock and announced some info about lunch. I wasn't paying any attention. My eyes were locked on (Y/N).

What was this girl trying to do? She's so confusing- it doesn't make any sense. One moment (Y/N) is acting like a normal friend, and the next it's like she has some evil plan. I don't want to get wrapped up in any of this mess.

As I started into her (e/c) eyes, I made my decision...

Even though it's only been a week and a half, it's time to cut ties with this (Y/N) girl. She's hiding something.
