The Clover

Chapter 5
Is It My Fault After All?

Many days after the festival..

Rin POV:

I still feel sick from after the festival.. I haven't really slept or eaten due to the fact of what he who shall not be named—oh you get the point..

I walked to school by myself, well technically Teto was with me but she was talking to Ted oh-so-dreamily so I decided to let them talk alone like the good friend I am. Kaito and I have also stopped talking he has a new interest for Miku now. As I was walking I saw Len in front of me.

Calm down Rin..

I passed him with a very carefree attitude and let it slide.

Len POV:

Che..

What fun am I going to have today? Heh, maybe I should toy with Lily or, Meiko, or even Luka. Eh.. I''ll surprise myself. I walked outside my house and I saw.. Rin.. Don't look Len just don't look. She past me rather briskly and she didn't even attempt to say hi..

That proved everything..

Rin POV:

I walk up to school, still shaking from the awkward moment when I walked passed Len. I look at a poster, 'Vocaloid High Talent Competition! Show off your talents!' I looked at it for a while and 100% of my concentration was on the poster. When suddenly—

"BOO!"

"AHHH!"

"BAHAHA! Rin I got you!"

"Teto! You scared the hell out of me!"

"Keke~ Sorry~ OH! Rin you'll never guessed what happened!"

"Oh what now?"

"Ted-kun.. asked.. me.. if.. I.. wanted.. to.. enter.. the.."

"SPIT IT OUT!"

"Ted-kunWantedToKnowIfIWantedToGo—"

"Not that fast!"

"Heh~ Ted-kun wanted to know if I wanted to enter the talent show with him!"

"Oh.. I was wondering if I should enter.."

"RIN! You are an amazing singer! You should definitely enter!"

"Should I?"

"YES, besides I have some friendly competition now keke~"

"Oh.. in that case then I will"

"YAY!"

My head was pounding and I felt very drowsy but I ignored it.. it's not like anything would happen right?

Right..

I registered myself into the competition and I had to think long and hard about my song.. I decided that I would write about the clover..

Rin.. Stop doing this to yourself!

I couldn't resist because all the lyrics were just naturally coming to me.

While I was writing my song I noticed that Kamui Sensei kept calling me.. "Kagamine Rin! Please pay attention!"

"H-Haii.. Sensei.." Darn my last name being the same as Len's.. We sat next to each other because of it..

During class I heard giggling at constant chattering..

'Len~ this' and 'Len~ that' it was pissing me off to the point where I turned around and told them almost yelling to shut up the fuck up.. Yeah sorry but you don't want to get on my bad side..

Len POV:

I was playing with Lily's hair. Twirling it around and smelling it. I saw her blushing..

Che, too easy..

I turn around and I see Rin, she was working on something really hard..

STOP LEN! STOP LOOKING AT RIN AND FORGET ABOUT HER.. WHY IS THAT SO HARD?

Okay Len.. Chill.. Just get back to your fun..

After School..

Rin POV:

I stayed after school to write more music.. I just can't concentrate at home so I stayed in the music room. I suddenly received a text message.

Teto : Rin! I have something to talk to you about!

Oh what?

Rin : I'm all ears..

I worked on my music for a little bit and awaited for my phone to light up.

Teto : You know how Len is acting.. different?

. . . Sorry Teto but I don't wanna talk about him..

Rin : Teto.. Do you mind that we don't talk about him..?

Sorry..

Teto : But Rin..!

I'm really sorry.. I should be able to talk to you about everything but.. not this.. at least not at this moment of time..

Rin : Sorry Teto.. I got to go.. I'll see you at home okay? Bye..

I'm really sorry..

The sun was slowly setting, it was still blue skies but I should pack up and return home.

Holy crap my whole body hurts now and I feel like throwing up.. my head hurts even worse too.. MY breathing felt irregular too..

I walked home, alone.

Hmm, I've been doing that lately.. That's not really safe..

I saw Teto around the corner by herself.. I should call her.

"Teto!"

"Ah! RIN! There you are!"

She walked up towards me and we walked together.

"Ne~ Rin.. You know you can tell me anything right?"

I didn't like the sound of this conversation already..

"Y-Yeah.."

Oh God..

"Then will you please tell me something..?"

Teto wasn't herself.. She was serious..

"O-ka-ay"

I was nervous okay? Not only nervous but my breathing was still irregular so I tried my best to make myself sound more nervous rather than showing that I had difficulty breathing.. I was also scared that she was going to ask me something that I feared she would ask.. and I was right..

"What exactly happened between you and Len..?"

"Teto.. Nothing happened okay?"

TOTAL LIE..

"Stop lying to me Rin!" Teto said with anger.

"Teto?"

I've never seen her this angry before..

"Rin.. Please tell me.."

Tears were welling up in my eyes.. my body was acting really weird..

"T-Teto.. I don't know what I d-did.. W-We just separated.. I w-would d-do anything t-to g-get us b-back to t-the wa-ay it was.. But I really d-don't know.. I wish th-"

I suddenly gasped and there was an immense, undescribable pain all over my body.. I couldn't finish my sentence and I passed out.

"RIN! RIN! WAKE UP!" was the last thing I heard..

Teto POV:

"RIN! RIN! WAKE UP!" I kept shaking her and just in time I saw Ted around the corner. "Ted-kun!" He came running with a smile, but that smile soon turned to a look of shock. "Teto! What happened?"

"Ted-kun! I don't think Rin is getting enough sleep, and food. She hasn't healed from her fever since the festival either!"

"What? What the hell was Rin thinking?"

"I don't know Ted.. but would you please do me a favor? Take Rin to the hospital! I need to find someone.."

"Okay. You got it."

I waved goodbye to Ted who took Rin on his back. I needed to find Len..

I searched around for Len for about 30 minutes now.. It was until that moment I heard girls giggling. I eavesdropped and overheard what they were talking about.

"Len~~ Do you really have to go now?"

"Heh~ Yeah I do.. I'll see you tomorrow beautiful~"

What the hell.. That's not Len.. Is it..? He really did change..

He was soon walking towards my direction. I yelled for his attention.

"Len! Do you have a minute?"

"Uhh.. Sure.. What do you want?" Len replied while shoving his hands in his pockets.

Well no need for attitude mister..

"Well, then you are coming with me!"

"NO! What the hell, let me go!"

What the hell?

"Len! It's about Rin!"

"Che I don't care about her anymore."

WHAT THE HELL..

"Don't you care about your childhood friend? Don't you care about the person that thou—"

"No Teto I don't" Len cut me off..

That's it, you asked for it..

With tears swelling in my eyes, I smacked him in the face.. hard..

"WHAT THE HELL TETO! WHAT WAS THAT FOR?" he yelled.

"Don't you realize that it's all your fault! Rin is in the hospital Len! She could be in really big danger! Because of you she never fully recovered her sickness from the festival and she hasn't slept, ate, and to top that she kept overworking herself! Don't you feel even a little bit bad..?" I paused.. "She's my best friend.. I thought she was your too.. but apparently not.." Without a word more or less I turned and left for the hospital, leaving Len to himself..

Len POV:

I was shaking as I was walking home.. When I did arrive home, I fell to the ground..

All my emotions broke out and it overpowered my body.. Rin was in the hospital because of me? Everything that Teto said kept rewinding in my head.. What the hell is wrong with you Kagamine Len..

It couldn't be that she thinks I'm that important.. could it..?
