Hopefully I can finish this story! I want to practice more and improve my writing. A song strongly influenced and motivated me to write this.
The heels of his shoes clack against the pavement, scurrying to find the crowd of people. The small blond kid pushes his way through the crowd—his face hot and feeling as though his legs are being pricked by needles. He starts to feel nervous, beginning to sweat bullets.
Being in crowds isn't his thing, daring not to look up as he crossed the street along a line of people. His blue eyes glue to the floor, heels hitting hard against the ground. He regrets his choice of outfit, fearing his shorts might be too high up on his thighs.
The kid in black bumps into another person right in front of him. His head shoots up and strands of hair cover his eyes. Mortified, he hesitates to bow his head to silently apologize.
"Eyes up here! You can't see anything if you're staring at the ground." A hand rests on his head, making him react and quickly take a step back. Punkish looks up, dropping his shoulders. The person he had bumped into was Kagamine Len's 'expression of color,' Kagamine Len Append. The taller boy's voice is calming, his vocals obviously stating the android to be in a relaxed mood.
The young teen doesn't crack a word to him, moving to the side to see a crowd of fans circling around the VOCALOIDs.
"Hey, I'll get you a snack or a drink. What's your name?" The shorter blond bites on the inside of his cheek at the question, hugging himself. "Punkish," he answers.
"I like your outfit, Punkish. We're a little like twins! Your collar pops up, and so does mine. Not to mention we're both even wearing chokers." Append Len leads Punkish over to the food stand where a handful of modules are waiting in line for food, snacks, drinks and all of the above. Punkish points at a picture of mango juice and another photo of takoyaki.
Append Len smiles at him, paying for his snack and drink. He puts the newly bought items into the shorter blond's small hands. "I'm assuming you haven't met everyone here yet. Since we're starting the contest this month and everyone's here, it's been decided that everyone should go on and pick as many people as they want to room with." He raises his hand, pointing over at all the modules spread across the park. "That's Classic, and over there is Aitetsu and his sister, Suou. Then there's Reactor, Cyber Cat, Scarlet, Silence ..." Append Len lists the names of all of the modules. By the time he's done, Punkish is already done with his snack and drink.
After a few encounters with a few other modules, Punkish gets picked out by Blue Moon; he'd be rooming with Blue and his sister, Black Star. The other roommate is a small boy named Strange Dark and a girl a tiny bit taller than Punkish, who is Reactor.
Everyone gathers together an hour later, Meiko explaining to the huge group of people the rules of the contest and the rules of housing. Many modules have been assigned a song and a few are given a choice what they want to dance to. All of the songs are sung by the main VOCALOIDs.
School Jersey partners with Punkish as a dancing duo. He's fifteen, two years older than Punkish.
"You can call me Jersey," he stuffs a handful of potato chips into his own mouth while speaking. "How old are you? You look too short to be a fifteen year old…" The boy in frames raises a brow at the younger male.
"I'm Punkish and I just turned thirteen last month…"
"Whaddya know, my birthday was last month, too! I'm rooming with this guy named Campus whose birthday is in the same month as us. I remember being thirteen… But I ain't as old as gramps over there." He refers back to Campus.
"I don't know about you, but be careful with shorty over there." He bends down, whispering to Punkish about Dark. "He looks like he can snap you in half. He looks so grumpy. Always frowning a lot. I hadn't even seen him smile. Not one bit. He threatened me and even told me he was gonna stick a knife into my ribcage if I didn't shut up!" Jersey laughs, wiping away a tear.
A chill runs down Punkish's spine, squeezing his hands together. He prays to himself that nothing horrible happens, but did Dark really have that kind of intention? He can see him right ahead talking to Blue Moon and Black Star.
Not like this day could make him any more of a nervous wreck.
