~I Will Always Be By Your Side~

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

I let out a small grown. Why? Why'd I have to leave the warmth of my bed? Why'd I have to wash, dress and eat within twenty minutes? Why'd I have to trudge my way to that priso- I mean school! WHY?

I couldn't care less about all that stuff if it wasn't for her. Her with that golden hair and big, beautiful, blue eyes. Her who makes me smile no matter how foul my day has been. Her who is my best friend in the whole, entire world.

Rin Kagami

I hop out of bed (with Rin on my mind yet again) and start getting sorted for school. Looking in the mirror, I realise how terrible I look. I'm NOT a morning person. Shrugging off my appearance, I wash, dress and search for food. Approaching the fruit bowl, I discover the startling truth...NO! It cannot be! DAMMIT! WE'RE OUT OF BANANAS!

I run out the door with an *insert heave* apple instead of a precious banana. Ah, well, maybe Rin will have some. You see, she only lives five houses down from me so I call for her every morning on the way to school. I don't bother to let anyone know I'm leaving since mum's probably still sleeping. I can see where I get my morning-itus from.

I dash down the street, eager to see Rin and stop at her house. I ring the door bell and I wait. I wait some more. Ok, she'd of usually answered by now. I ring again and thankfully the door opens.

"Hi Rin! Ready for sch- Oh, Mr. Kagami," I say, confused why Rin isn't there.

"Hello, Len. I'm afraid Rin wont be attending school today. She's caught a cold," he says apologetically.

My eyes widen and my heart instantly starts pounding. What?! Rin's ill? I've always been overprotective of Rin. I worry about her like a parent. Stupid really, for she's a sensible fourteen year old who knows perfectly well how to look after herself. I think it's because of how I met her. It was awhile back, we were only five years old.

I remember, it was a warm Summers day so my mother took me to the park. My mother said she had to go to the shop and she'd be back in ten minutes. I said that was fine. When she was gone I instantly ran to the swings and gladly flew through the air. I've always liked the idea of flying…

ANYWAY, while I was happily swinging on the swings I noticed a girl playing in the sandpit by herself. She looked about my age. She looked rather like me too. Blonde hair, blue eyes and I think we were about the same height. Plus she had the biggest bow on her head I'd ever seen! I was curious of this girl so I was about to go over and say hello when THEY came.

"Aww, little girl all alone," said a boy twice the size of her.

"So helpless, an easy target," chuckled his not as tall female companion. They towered over her, laughing at her, calling her names.

The small, blonde girl was shaking by now. These scary people were at least double her age. I watched her as she tried to hold back tears. For some reason, it hurt me too. But why did this girl, who I'd never spoken to before, have such an affect on me?

I was quickly snapped out of my thoughts when the big boy kicked the ground. This wouldn't of mattered much. However, they were in a sandpit. The girl squealed in pain as the sand hit her eyes.

"Ha! Little wimp!"

"Whining over something as small as sand."

These idiots didn't seem to realise that sand in your eyes is serious. I knew I was going to regret it but I couldn't stand any more of the girl's painful cries so I ran over to them. I then did something I'd never done before. I bit them. I bit both of those stupid bullies. They gasped from the shock and ran. Ha! My attentions turned to the girl covering her eyes.

"What's your name?" I asked gently.

"R-Rin...Rin Ka-Kagami," Rin shakily replied.

"I'm Len Kagamine. It's ok, Rin, those stupid people are gone," I said reassuringly.

"Thank y-you," said the girl. She then broke down into tears.

I couldn't stand her crying so I sat down next to her and put my arms round her. What was I doing? I didn't even know this girl! But it felt right to have her in my arms. She slowly stopped sobbing and snuggled close to me.

"Len! What's going on?" cried my very worried mother. I explained everything and my mother told me I was very brave. We took Rin to our house, washed her eyes and went on from there. Through the whole thing, Rin and I became very close. I mean, until her parents arrived to collect her after the incident, she clung onto me the whole time.

"I will always be by your side," I told her.

Remembering our meeting is making me feel worse. I only have one thing on my mind. I've got to see Rin! "Um, can I see her?" I ask eagerly.

"I'm sorry, she's sleeping at the moment," Mr Kagami apologises again and my face falls. "But I'm sure she'll be awake when you get back from school," he says, smiling.

"OK. Thanks Mr. K," I say and trot off to school, alone.

I sigh for about the hundredth time today. It's lunch brake and I AM BORED. It's no fun here without Rin. She has a great sense of humour and she really listens to me. That cute hair style, gleaming eyes, beautiful smile…

"Um Len, you ok?," asks Miku, walking over to me. She's another one of my friends but no where near as close as Rin. "Are you ill? Your face is all red."

Damn! I must be blushing from thinking about Rin and– oh crap. Now I know what you're thinking. I like like Rin. Well I don't. Nope. Never. No way. OK, FINE!

Want me to spell it for you?
