Akita Neru browsed the shelves of the record store dully, fingering over the newest releases. The store door's bell rang as a few girls entered, talking with each other. Neru hid on the other side of the shelf and peeked through the CDs, hoping they wouldn't recognize her.
"New releases!" One of them pointed at the shelf. Neru silently cursed herself for picking this shelf and crouched down, trying to hide.
"This one is the new Hatsune-mix!" Another exclaimed. Neru rolled her eyes. It's always, Miku, Miku, Miku, but never Neru. Why don't people see that Neru is so much better than that teal halfwit? Letting out an aggravated huff, Neru stomped up, frowning.
"Why don't you guys get some good taste in music?" Neru snapped, obviously upset. The three girls looked over in shock and then let out a chorus of screams, making Neru stumble back into a nearby by shelf.
"Oh my gosh, y-you're Akita Neru!" One of them pointed.
"I have ALL your albums!"
"Your favorite color is yellow, right? Cause it's mine too!"
"Are you going to have a concert soon?"
"I'll be in the front row for sure!"
"Uh…yeah" Neru replied, edging towards the door. The girls scooted closer, their faces eager. "Listen, I'm glad you're fans, but I-I gotta go." Neru bolted out of there, not bothering to say sorry to the guy she ran into on her way out.
"…Otakus." Neru shivered slightly when she slowed down her pace, creeped out enough for today.
