My Life
Rin's POV
I jolted awake when my alarm rang next to my bed; flying into an upright position I knocked my digital clock off of my small white nightstand and to the pale beige carpeted floor of my bedroom. My heart pounding as I caught my breath to calm myself. Darn that clock! It always gives me heart attacks in the morning when I wake up for school. Sighing, I brushed my bangs to the side of my face, returned my clock to its original place, and walked around the corner to the right into my small bathroom with my school uniform in my arms. As soon as I walked in I saw the bathtub on the far side of the room and the long sink and cabinet was to my right. I stripped off my pajamas and hopped into the shower where I stood just letting the hot water run down my back. When I was finally done I got dressed and brushed my blonde shoulder-length hair. My school uniform wasn't anything special: just a navy blue skirt and long-sleeved navy sailor fuku which had thing white strips, it also consisted of navy blue knee-high stockings and black shoes which we waiting just outside my apartment door. My hair was just as plain Jane, no fancy accessories, but two white hairclips to hold my bangs in place above my left eye.
Now satisfied with my appearance, I walked out of my bathroom, down the stairs and into my kitchen where I popped a piece of toast into the toaster as I sat at my small round table, took my Lenovo computer out of my Japanese school bag and turned it on. As it booted up I washed the few dishes in the sink and put them away and it my computer finally was up and running I opened up a window, popped in a blank CD disk, and began to type away, making sure all of the songs I had put on there were on my computer before I transferred them onto my iPod; each song, though only about five, I had made myself in my spare time. Father had given me a keyboard long ago for my birthday before that fateful day occurred. That was not too long after I moved into this decent-sized apartment to live on my own away from him and his rules, even though I knew they only existed to keep me safe after Mother died a few years ago. Suddenly, I smelt something burning and gasped when I realized the time. "Oh no, I'm going to be late!" Removing the CD and safely putting in its case then on the table and putting my computer into sleep mode, I took the burnt piece of toast, wrinkled my nose as I popped it into my mouth, and slipped my black shoes on before hurrying out the door. As I ran I forced myself to eat the piece of bread so that I ate some form of breakfast.
There standing at the bottom of the hill was my best, and only, friend Kimi who was waving to me with her gentle smile; she was sixteen, a year older than me, and had blue eyes and pin straight, chocolate brown hair that fell to her mid-back as well as bangs that covered her forehead. As I neared her she lowered her arm and giggled a little as she watched me catch my breath, hands on my knees and school bag on the gravel next to me, "Realize you were later again, Rin-chan?" I returned her smile with a feeble one of my own as I sweatdropped a little,
"Yeah." We continued our way to school and had our usual morning discussion to pass the time.
"So can you believe in high school?" I playfully shoved her,
"Don't remind me, the time's going way to fast if you ask me." She giggled,
"I suppose so, but life goes on doesn't it? That reminds me how are you feeling?" I smiled reassuringly at her,
"I'm fine, don't worry about me ok? Oh, here," I said reaching into my back and pulling out my white iPod before giving it to her, "I finally put those songs I made on here, would you mind listening to them?"
"Is Miku's hair blue?" I blinked,
"Hm? Where'd that come from?"
"Oh come on, I know how big you are into Vocaloid." I shoved her again with a smile,
"Shut up! And some think it's blue, others green, so I'm sticking with teal." She giggled before putting the headphones in her ears and closing her eyes to focus on the music. Occasionally I gave her an oblique gaze to find her head nodding in beat with the music as a smile found its way to her face. I smiled back then after she had finished the music as we neared our school she removed the headphones, returned my iPod to me and beamed.
"You have such an amazing talent, Rin. You write such wonderful music." I smiled sheepishly at the ground in front of me as I held my bag in front of me,
"Thanks, though I haven't really come up with lyrics just yet."
"Don't worry, you will. I know it for a fact."
"Thanks, Kimi." A bell rang and we jumped, "Oh no we'll be late!"
"Let's kick it into overdrive, girl! Here, take this!" Without me giving my consent she stuffed her bag into my chest, knocking the breath out of me, picked me up bridal style and ran as fast as she could to the school, a giant cloud of dirt rising behind her, while I cried out. Then she leapt up when we were close to the tall white building and landed through a window at the top floor, when we were safely inside she looked at my form: hair ratty and eyes wide, then she put me down and I staggered to steady my shaky feet.
"You are such an idiot." I said as I glared at her and she winked at me while making an L with her left hand,
"But you'll be on time for homeroom." I growled then she took up her bag and hurried downstairs for her sophomore homeroom, when she was on the platform at the end of this staircase and before the next she smiled up at me, "Good luck, Rin-chan, see you later!" Without another word she hurried down, her brown hair trailing behind her. I stood there growling then sighed and fixed my hair before taking up my bag and hurrying up the last staircase for my classroom.
There I stood, in front of the closed door. I always hated this about school and you would witness why. Taking a deep breath I opened the door and the room, which was bubbling with morning discussion, fell quiet as everyone stared at me. Trying to not pay any heed to their glares, I proceeded to make my way to my desk at the back corner of the classroom next to the windows. When I sat down I sighed and looked out the window then jumped when something slammed on my desk and when I turned to meet the blazing holly green glare of the freckle-faced, short, slightly curled haired brunette, Mami. "M-M-Mami."
"You're late, Kagamine." She retorted leaning forward causing her face to become shadowed,
"N-no I'm not, the final bell hasn't rung yet." She straightened up and crossed her arms,
"No, but you're the last person to come to homeroom, thus making you late." She hardened her glare at me, "As Homeroom 205's class president it is my sole job to make sure every student is here on time."
"But I told you I am!" The final bell rang and I pointed to the intercom as I stood, "See! That's the final bell!" She growled then came face-to-face with me,
"I don't care! I am your class president so you abide by my rules and report here five minutes before the bell so that we have ample time to hand in papers and forms to the teacher! Just because you're the principal's daughter don't think that you can to whatever you want when you want alright! Get that through your head, blondie!"
"Hey class pres., look at this." She straightened up when a dark blue-haired boy with glasses showed her my iPod,
"Hey, that's mine!" I cried reaching for it, but he tossed it to Mami who held it high above my reach with a smirk, "Give it back!" She pushed my into my chair and I stared up at her victorious smirk,
"So this was why you were late. Then again I shouldn't be surprised; you always killed your time with such uselessness." She nonchalantly tossed it to one of the class jocks, and placed her hands on her hips, "You know the rules: no music allowed on campus under any circumstances. You, of all people, know that since you're the principal's daughter."
"Ok, ok, what's going on." The teacher said then the jock tossed him my iPod,
"Check it out, teach." He said with a smirk and Mami approached him,
"Isn't it against school rules to bring any type of musical device onto campus?" He sighed, fixed his glasses, then looked at me,
"Mami's right, Rin. I'm sorry but I'll have to send you to the principal's office." I flinched then lowered a sad blue gaze to my desk then bowed my head and closed my eyes as I stood,
"Yes sir." I answered quietly before walking to the front of the room. As I did so the jock tripped me and I fell to the ground hard. They snickered, I took the iPod and slowly left the room and walked down the hall to his office. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Kimi look at me with slight surprise as I passed her room.
Kimi's POV
I stared at my friend from my seat next to the door as she dragged her feet to her father's office. Oh, Rin. I thought as I stared sadly at her. You got caught again didn't you . . . I'm sorry but I promise things will get better; I'll make sure of it. I returned my gaze to the front of the classroom. She's always had it super hard ever since I met her in grammar school. For some reason people were always mean to her, probably because they assumed she was a snobby brat since her father was the principal of a prestigious high school. However, I broke that barrier and became her friend and I stuck to the vows that we made that day: that we'd be the best of friends forever and that I would always be at her side since no one else was. I closed my eyes with a smile. And when she first came up to me and showed me her musical skills I was filled with such happiness and knew I had found the perfect new student even with her condition.
Rin's POV
I knocked on the grand double wooden doors, "Come in, Rin." I obeyed his command and closed the door behind me before solemnly approaching him desk and placing the iPod on it. The blonde man sighed, "Again, Rin? What have I told you countless times? You can't get involved in music!"
"I don't care!"
"But I do. . . Rin, I'm your father and I want you safe."
"But how is music so dangerous to me? I only compose it! Not sing!"
"That doesn't matter!" He shouted, slamming his hands on the desk as he stood, "Composing music will urge you to sing and you cannot with your condition! Do you want the cancer to worsen?" I gasped then lowered a sad gaze to the floor; he sat down and became somber as well. "Ever since your mother lost her life to her throat cancer . . . I couldn't bear to see the same thing happen to you." I was silent as my hair shadowed my face, then I snarled ever so slightly and clenched a fist,
"I don't care!" I shouted, tears pricking my blue eyes, "Not being able to be involved in music is worse than any kind of cancer and is worse than dying." I clenched my eyes shut and bowed my head, "It is my life, Father, I will decide my own path!" Without another word I burst through the doors, him calling my name angrily, and ran down the hall before entering the bathroom and locking myself in a stall, hugging my knees to my chest and burying my face in my lap as I cried. This was my life. Music was my life and yet it was forbidden for me as throat cancer endangered my life.
Aw poor Rin-chan. :( But don't worry it gets better and you'll see next chapter. ^^ Hm, what did Kami by 'perfect new student'? Let me know what you think in your review and stay tuned to find out!
