Chapter One: Really?! A Project Already?!
"You've got to be kidding me." The young lad with the dark hair mumbled as he sighed in frustration. He had just transferred into the school, some fancy academy for kids with a special talent, his being in the music department. Ever since he was 5, he was always into anything that could play a note. Now he could skillfully play almost any instrument, but that wasn't his real talent. His true gift lied within creating and writing the songs and lyrics, which brought him and his family wealth after sending them for record deals to use, but unfortunately, he couldn't sing even if his life depended on it. So now, what was he to do when his teacher gave him such a simple, yet out-of-reach assignment?
Flashback to 20 minutes ago
Everyone in class was chatting, goofing around, like most normal kids would do, until the teacher came in with a grin on his face. The room got quiet, there was no way anyone would want to stay for the strict, hour-long detention after that would be given to you if you misbehaved. "Alright, class," The teacher began to speak, his voice loud and clear. "I'm going to assign you a project tod-" His voice was cut off by the instant groans and whines from the class, which should've DEFINITELY been expected. After all, it was only the second week of school. A kid spoke up from the back "Mr. Delasso sucks!" Which made everyone giggle a little. The teacher rolled his eyes and sighed. "I see why you guys feel like this, but don't worry, you'll have all school year to do this, so don't really worry about rushing." He began to explain. "As for explaining, well… this paper will cover everything you need to know." He added on as he passed the paper to each classmate.
Back to the Present
Being that Eren still hadn't looked at the paper, meant that the project was still a complete mystery to him. "Ah, I'll check it when I get home," He assured himself, although he knew he probably wasn't going to, being the lazy ass that he is. "Really? I know this is a good school and all, but a PROJECT in the SECOND WEEK? Come on, that's ridiculous," He continued to talk to himself at his desk. Well, at least it was music related, so it shouldn't be TOO hard... right? Little did he know, it would be very, VERY difficult, but totally worth it.
After school, Eren decided to walk home instead of the usual drive home from his mother. His mind was on other things, such as making friends and sports and things of the sort. 'What if nobody likes me here? What if I embarrass myself as a first impression? What if I don't get a date to prom? What if…?' A million what if's raced through his mind, he slightly worried. He wasn't exactly an introvert, but he wasn't really super loud either. You could say Eren was in between, not a hermit crab and super quiet, but not really a social butterfly and outgoing. He wasn't unattractive either, with soft brown eyes and messy black hair, standing at about 5'10". But these were just teenage insecurities, and even the prettiest girls and cutest guys have 'em at one point or another.
Spacing out in thought had made him unfocused while walking, so he mistakenly tripped over a girl tying her shoes in the middle of the sidewalk. He landed with a loud thud. "Ow... " He groaned as he had landed on his side, hurting his arm. The girl couldn't help but bust out laughing, her smile radiant, almost shining. "Are you okay?" She said betweens muffled laughter. "Yeah, just peachy, asshole." Eren sat up slowly as he dusted the dirt off his clothes. "You made me trip, the least you could do is not laugh when I hurt myself." He muttered to the girl as he looked at her, taking a closer look at her details. The girl had green hair, and purple goggles, which weirdly seemed to match her odd-colored hair. She had an orange yellowish-dress on, and a cute face too.
Eren had lost thought from looking- no, wait, STARING at her for what seemed like an eternity. The green-haired girl giggled. "Checking me out already? Jesus, you boys get straight to the point these days." Hearing that made Eren snap out of his trance. "I wasn't checking you out," He rolled his eyes as he slowly got up from the concrete, stretching his hurt arm out so it could relax a little.
"Sureeeeee you weren't. And I wasn't just looking at you staring at me for the past three minutes, below my face too." She laughed. "Anyways, you're pretty cute, so it's not THAT big of a deal."
He faintly blushed. She was flirty, alright. "Can I get your name?" He asked her. Well, at least he made somewhat of a friend now. She smiled. "Megpoid Gumi, but just Gumi is fine." She held out her hand.
"Eren Springer, it's nice to meet you, even if it's by the way of me busting my ass." He joked and put his hand to hers. Once they touched, Gumi literally yanked him into a hug. "I like hugs better." She said quietly. Her voice sounded so innocent, yet Eren somehow knew she wasn't even close to being as innocent as he thought she was. Gumi, being a clever girl, slipped a piece of paper with her number inside of it into the unsuspecting boy's pocket. She was prepared to find a cute boy like this, and couldn't waste the opportunity. "Well.." She began. "I have to go now… Maybe I'll see you tomorrow?" She smiled cutely.
"Yeah, and I'll text you when I get home." He said as he began to laugh. Unfortunately, she wasn't slick enough, and the raven-haired easily noticed her putting the paper in. Gumi, looked away, slightly embarrassed, and then ran away. "Gotta go,see ya!" She wasn't turning back, because she never expected to get caught or exposed like that. It was funny as hell to him, but a little humiliating to her. He giggled as she sprinted off, and then turned around and began to make his way back home.
When he got home, he immediately went to the kitchen, he was super hungry and needed some ramen or something that would satisfy his famished state. Eren was quite well off when it came to financial standing, being that his father owned a record deal and his mother was a singer. Sadly, he only inherited his father's talent, that being his intellect and producing skills, because his vocal chords were terrible. Anyways, Eren took out two hot pockets and plopped them in the microwave. When he needed something quick and satisfying, the hot pockets always came in clutch. As he waited for them to finish, he whipped out his phone and texted the new friend he just made.
Messages
Eren: With that speed, you should try out for the olympics lmfao
Gumi: Fuck you t-.-t
Eren: :( But I thought we were friendsssss
Eren: Unless you meant it in a different way..
Gumi: Relax, there, bucko, that's not what I meant.
Eren: Lmao well I'll brb, I need to eat.
Gumi: Mk 3
Eren put his phone down and began to eat, his mind resting on Gumi. 'Yeah, she's cute and all, but I have to get to know her and all that cheesy shit.' He thought to himself. But maybe… this semi-friendship they had could blossom into something beautiful. Then his phone buzzed. It was Gumi.
Gumi: What're you gonna do for your project?
Eren: I'm not even sure about what we're supposed to do yet tbh
Gumi: Well… I heard from the grapevine that you're some kind of music producing genius…
Eren: That rumor is true, I guess
Gumi: Well, the project is, coincidentally, you have to make a playlist of songs, and it has to have at least five songs in the playlist of your own making.
Eren: I can't sing :(
Gumi: And that's where I come in, then. I have a couple of friends who can help you with that problem. I mean, if you want to do this, that is.
Eren: I guess I'm in… let's all meet at lunch tomorrow
Gumi: Deal. But they're all girls, so if they try flirting with you, I might have to smack a bitch XD
Eren: Whatever lmfao
Eren giggled at the last comment she made. "Funny, cute, flirty… Jesus how did I get this lucky?" He asked himself while chuckling. He began to think hard, maybe this project could be something big, if he had the right singers. Either way, it was getting late, so he hopped into the shower, and then went to his room to go to bed. But, what would the project name be? The weary boy tried to think of a name, but nothing hit him until he began to envision his future, and where he would be. That's when it hit him. "Project… Mirai…" He muttered as he drifted into slumber.
Well… what do you think? Reviews are greatly appreciated, so don't worry about being harsh or anything. A few notes, by the way.
When I said only girls, I didn't mean Kaito and Len wouldn't be in here, they'll just be introduced in different circumstances
Comment on who you think should be paired with my OC!
Yes, the oc will be using all 48 songs for the playlist, so expect a lot of chapters
The days are either going to be an off-day, which means the oc spends time with one of the vocaloids,or a recording day, which means he'll be in the studio recording a song with the singers.
I made a shitty OC, I know
M rating for possible sexual scenes and violence
Hope you enjoyed so far! Next chapter coming within the week, so stay tuned!
