Hi everyone! So I just wanna say two things . First,that I am new here and second, that this is my first fanfic. Although the first chapter might not be that interesting but I have tried to present it in the best way...
Misaki gazed out of the window of the bus and sighed. Feelings of fear and anxiety occupied her mind. Although the girls in front of her seat were chatting and laughing she couldn't hear them.
-So, finally this day has come. We are riding towards our destination. But why am I feeling so scared? Hmm…maybe because I've never sung in front of such a large audience. Gosh! This fear is gripping me. I need to get a hold of myself. I need to be strong! Why is everyone so silent at the back?
Misaki returned from her thoughts to the real world. She stood from her seat, turned at the back and saw that everyone was sitting as silent as the dead. Akira was practicing her guitar; Yumiko was sitting with her eyes closed; Karen was just staring at her drumsticks with a blank look and Shihoko was practicing her bass guitar. All of them were looking tensed and no one was speaking.
Misaki asked them, "Are you all scared?"
All of them looked up at her.
"Of course we are scared", Akira answered. Keeping her guitar aside she continued, "Misaki, we are competing in the biggest, the toughest music championship. People from so many schools of Tokyo will be there. Who knows how far we will go?"
Misaki sighed. She couldn't believe the girl who was never afraid of anything, always encouraging people was saying this. Akira's eyes showed fear.
"Yeah… maybe we won't even clear the first round." Yumiko said.
Misaki jumped out of her seat.
"Are you guys serious? I am sure no one has practiced as hard as we did! We will definitely win this!" Misaki said with a strange enthusiasm.
-Please girls! Don't speak things like that, don't lose your confidence. Ahh…you're making me nervous. Please!
To distract everyone from their thoughts, Misaki picked up her guitar and started singing. Soon afterwards, everyone joined her including the teachers and the volunteers accompanying them. Misaki did everything to lighten the mood. She cracked jokes, played games and sang songs and everyone forgot their tension. Later, everyone felt a bit relieved and relaxed.
They soon reached their destination, Hiromasa Hotel. Everyone took their instruments and few essential things for the competition they had brought with them. The hotel was not very large or grand, but it was a busy place.
"Okay girls! You just have one hour to freshen up and get ready. We have booked two rooms. You can choose yourself which one you want. Then we'll be going to the auditorium for the registration and other work."
Everyone chose their rooms and got ready. The teachers then took them to the auditorium where they were to perform and everyone's jaw dropped at the sight of it. There were posters of the championship everywhere. Hundreds of people were running here and there. Some were going inside the auditorium and some were coming outside. A lot of noise and commotion filled the area and the speaker was repeatedly making some announcements. They entered the gates, showed their registrations and collected their Identity cards.
-So this is it, there is no turning back now. We have to give it our best. We have to win for the sake of our school!
A little later the speaker shouted an announcement- "ALL THE PARTICIPATING SCHOOLS, PLEASE MOVE IN THE AUDITORIUM FOR THE STARTER SHOW".
"Let's move in" Yumiko said.
They all checked their IDs and registration forms, entered the auditorium and took their seats.
So how was it ? I know most of you might be thinking that where is Takumi. But I ensure that I will add him in the coming chapters. Believe me, it will get interesting after this one !
