To Anon: Even though your critique was a bit harsh, I'll try harder this chapter. Same with my other story. Oh, and by the way, that part in chapter 1 was just a mistake. It happens to every author once and a while. To answer your other question, Miku wanted to help Len because she wanted Luka to get a boyfriend.


Day 03 Part 1

Preparing

"Okay, I just ordered the costumes!" said a student, sitting in front of a computer.

Sensei Kiyoteru's class was preparing for the school festival in the library (not changing the library, discussing what they would do.) One table was discussing the café, and the other was discussing the play. Gakupo chose to sit at the play table, so of course half of the class gathered there. The table was wooden, and a bookshelf was behind it. Miku sat beside Len. The group was going around in a circle, sharing their ideas for the play. Gakupo was right before Len. Of course, his idea stole the show.

"Well, I was thinking we would do Romeo and Juliet, since the genre is romance." he smirked, making some girls squeal. "Does anyone agree with me?"

Half of the table nodded. "I think it's a great idea!" squealed Gumi Megpoid, Gakupo's biggest fan. Even though they were siblings, Gumi was adopted so they were not related by blood. "Though I think someone with more acting experience should play the role of Juliet." Gumi was in the drama club, and Gakupo had been in a few of Gumi's clubs' plays as an understudy. Luka, however, had no experience at all in drama.

"Great idea Gumi-chan!" Gakupo grinned at her, patting her head. He then turned to Miki Sasaki, who was in the drama club like Gumi. "Would you like to play the role of Juliet?"

Gumi crossed her arms, realizing her plan backfired.

Miki blushed. "U-um, I think it would be romantic if Luka did it! After all, you two are dating." Miki then sulked, as she realized she missed out on the opportunity of a lifetime. She gripped the end of her skirt, as if she was punishing herself for saying that.

Sensei Kiyoteru then walked over. "Have you guys decided what we are going to for our play yet?"

Before Len could say no, almost the whole table shouted yes. Sensei Kiyoteru nodded, pulling a pen out of his pocket. A clipboard was in his hand. "So, please tell me what your idea is."

"Romeo and Juliet." replied Gakupo. "Just like the original. No changes at a-."

"Wait! I have an idea for Romeo and Juliet!" Len shouted. He didn't actually have one, he just wanted his chance to talk. "U-uh..I think.."

"Len thought we should make a modern Romeo and Juliet!" Miku said, saving Len. Len looked over to her, but she just gave him a thumbs up.

"Great idea Mister Kagamine. Well, I think we know what we're doing." Sensei Kiyoteru wrote something down on his clipboard.

Of course, since Miku was popular, everyone started saying 'Great idea Miku!' If Len had said it, everyone would talk to Gakupo. He sighed.

Sensei Kiyoteru wasn't finished. "So, we need a script writer, a director, costumes, and a cast. We will discuss this in the classroom." he said, stuffing his pen back in his pocket. "While I'm talking to the café group, you can discuss more ideas for the play." Sensei Kiyoteru adjusted his glasses then walked over to the other table. Everyone just started to stare at each other. There was silence.

It was so quiet the group could hear the clock ticking. Tick Tock, Tick Tock. Luka, however, suddenly stood up. Everyone was hoping she would stop the silence. "What are you doing Luka-sama?" Miki asked.

She looked at one side of the table, then the other. She was silent for a few moments. Finally Luka spoke. "I-I have to go to a student council meeting."

Two other students, Lily Tanaka and Shiyu Tanaka stood up. (That's how SeeU's name is pronounced.) Luka was president, Lily was vice president, and Shiyu was treasurer.

"We have to go too." Lily said, and the three walked off.

Half of the students sweatdropped when they realized why Luka stood up, but Len just stared at her as she walked off. Len always admired that about Luka (the fact that she was president.) Luka was smart, mature and organized. That was one of the reasons Len liked her.

After a few minutes, Sensei Kiyoteru came back. He realized their faces were blank. "Uh, it's time to go."

The students rushed to the line, happy the silence was finally over. Len and Miku still had to think of a way to get him a girlfriend, and get him noticed.

In the classroom, Len and Miku had finished their work early, so Miku passed Len a note. He opened it, and read it carefully.

I was thinking I should be your girlfriend..but not really. Just to get you noticed.

-Miku

Len looked over to Miku, who was now checking her work. He looked back at the note and read it one more time, and then wrote something down.

I'm not sure. First of all, what if people want us to kiss or something like that? Second, Rin would tease me forever if she found out. Third, what if Luka really thinks I like you?

-Len-kun

He made sure Sensei wasn't looking then passed the note. After five minutes, Miku passed the note back.

Well, I didn't think about that. We'll figure it out somehow though. Oh, Rin's having a sleepover at your house tonight. We could talk about it there.

-Miku

Len looked over to Miku, who just nodded. Len felt there was no reason to pass the note back, so he stuffed it in his desk.

Suddenly a timer went off. A few seconds after, a beep was heard. "Time is up. If you did not finish, you will do it for homework." Sensei Kiyoteru said, writing the word "HOMEWORK" on the board. Under it, he started writing a list of things the students would do for homework. He then turned around. "Well, now we will discuss our ideas for the café and the play.."
