It was a beautiful day in the small but very stable neighborhood in Japan called Awazamashi. A spring festival was going to start tonight and the entire town knew about it. The birds chirped happily as the sakura trees flowed gently, their petals falling off and into the views of passersby that were out on the street at the time. School for high school students were to open tomorrow but tonight, it was all about the pleasurable festival. Most people were just laying out their kimonos right now, viewing its beauty and trying it on. At least for the woman. Men were out about and husbands were complimenting their wives on how beautiful they looked as fathers helped their children get ready. Others were doing anything else at the time but not many people missed the festival. A whole bunch of stalls were set up with games and food and besides, It was a visual feast to set your eyes on. The parade marched through first, wonderful floats that all had their own special characteristic that made them stand out. Of course, you can’t forget about the fireworks that are shown at around 11:30 PM. Summarized, it simply wasn’t something most people missed.

Ayumi awoke from her bed, rubbing her eyes and looking over at the small clock that was hanged on the wall. “Crap…” she groaned, her body slowly going into a child pose. She shouldn’t have stayed up all night playing that game but… It was an early release FPS that she needed to test out for her job. Honestly, It was shit. No story. Nada. Who the fuck even sends someone a game like this expecting a good review? It was utter crap. Made her stay up late but that was just because she started at 12 PM and it only took 5 hours. 5 hours! Repulsive. It was already 7:25 PM right now so all she could do was groan and get back in her bed… Not. Ayumi rolled out, hoping out of her head and going over to the sink. She bent over and smacked the water on her face, followed by a loud smack on her cheeks to wake her up. “Goood morninggg!” She exclaimed loudly to herself with a smile. With that, she closed the door to her small bathroom and went over to her closet to reveal a beautiful kimono. One of the only things that she had as a memento of her mother. It was stunning.

Ayumi threw it on quickly, struggling for about 10 minutes to properly tie it but in the end, she somewhat managed to do it. Ayumi smiled at the kimono as she brushed her hair for about 3 seconds and stabbed a cute flower pin behind her right ear. She would have made her hair look a bit more neat but… she didn’t really care and right now, she just wanted to get over there to have some of the delicious snacks they always offered. Patting down her hair some, Applying some light pink lip gloss that was barely noticeable, she then went through her fridge and grabbed a long and fresh carrot out of their, washing it and taking a large bite. Breakfast was the most important meal after all. I really should have woken up earlier… Then I would have had enough time to do some other things. Most people were probably already up… Maybe some were there to help get set up too. She grabbed her kimono bag and set out to the festival.

Soon, she arrived “Hey! Kiro! Need some help over there with the lights?!” She called out to the man who was in charge of the lights section. She had been in the neighborhood for a while so most of the grown ups knew her already. She had pretty much… 0 close friends her age but who cares. She rushed over to him once he nodded and waved her over. “Shouldn’t you guys be nearly done already, sir?” She teased, grabbing the cord and plugging it into the proper place along with the others. They already knew she did her odd tech jobs here and there around the neighborhood so there was no complaints when she asked to help if it had anything to do with tech. Heck, they’re getting an extra 30 minutes to 1 hour with her helping. The most lights were used for the stage where they held dances, singing contests, shows, and the such. Most things were interactive with the audience and it was breathtaking. Can’t wait till the parade starts! She said her thanks when the man complimented her on her kimono and her looks. She smiled brightly and looked up at the sky, realizing that it was already getting dark. Fireworks!! She loved them and couldn't wait for them to begin. They light up the sky and brought people together somehow. It’s already 7:20! 8:15 and the night begins!

Meria was outside of her building already and sitting in the park bench with her notebook. She was waiting for the parade to start and was already in a beautiful kimono that cost her parents a lot to get her. She didn't ask for it but they insisted. Especially since her mother was Japanese and loved tradition. Her hair was in a messy bun with a . She sat emotionless with a pencil in her hand as she drew quietly. Her pencil had 2 sides. One of which was an ordinary art pencil and the other which was a light pink color pencil. When is the festival starting…? She wondered for a second before remembering that it was to start at around 8 o’clock. Perfect time to realize this since it was already 7:25 PM. Most people go early apparently... With that, she stood up and put her sketchpad away carefully, not wanting to bend any of the sides. It was her first time to witness this so called “spring festival” in Japan but from the hype of it, it at least sounded fun. She walked to the street where they were holding the festival and bowed at the people she saw. She was half Japanese so she didn’t grab much attention on that note. Looking down as she walked, she glanced from side to side to observe what was up so far. Meria was surprised to see how beautiful everything was. Well, not really. She expected it due to all the praise this festival had been getting. Well… It’s not like I know anyone even if I get here 35 minu- Oh.. She glances down at her small light pink watch she had on. So It’s 7:35 PM already.. She then walked over to a koi fish catching stall and waited for it all to officially begin.

Dominic awake with a start in his darkened empty room. He had taken a nap around three because the night before he had sent the whole night out drinking. Even though he was only wearing shorts he was sweating as if he had run a race.Suddenly there was a soft knock on his door "You awake, in there?" a soft female voice said. "What do you want runt?" Dom said as the door slowly opened. In the door way stood his sister, all dressed and ready for the festival with her friends. "I heard a you yell,You alright?" she asked worried " Fine Kim just a nightmare...what are you still doing here? Thought whats her name was gonna go with you and dad to festival." he said as he stood up. Dominic towered over his 4'9 sister as he stood up and stretched she smiled sadly "Dad said he had to work, so he took Jacob and John to their elementary school friends house so they could go with their family. Guess I gotta wait till next year."
Dominic sighed. "your friend still here?" he asked as he grabbed a shirt from his pile of clean clothes. "yeah she said she wanted to wait a bit and hang out why?" she asked as Dominic quickly started looking for some clothes. "You shouldn't just walk around like that..." she said as she turned around and stared at the wall. "My room, I give no Shi..." he said as he stumbled trying to put on a pair of jeans "oh and to why i asked, I wanted to go see the festival, I don't trust you two not to burn the house down while I'm gone...you two are coming with me." A smile spread across his sister's face as she turned around and hugged him. "thank you!" she said happily as she let go of him. With a sigh Dominic looked at her "one, why did you hug me...two I'm still part way dressed... Three this is my room... four why are you still here?" he asked slightly annoyed as it dawn on his sister. "My bad!" she said as she rushed out the room
"Dumber then a sack of dumb hammers..." he muttered as he grabbed his beanie and put it on. "right you two ready?" he called down the hall "yes!" two voices responded as he wal "fan fu..." he said dropping his wallet as he tried to take it out "tastic...great lets go." he said as he picked up the wallet and headed to the door.

Saori woke up to the devilish sound of an alarm. She didn't want to wake up today, she'd rather use the rest of her time before school started again to sleep. She fumbled her right hand around for the alarm with her eyes closed. She pressed the snooze button, but the sound kept going on. Was her phone on or something? It usually doesn't do this.

Upon actually opening her eyes, she heard a phone ringing. Was that the 'alarm'? She got up for jack shit? Oh well, she decided to pick up her phone and attempt to answer it. The phone fumbled out of her hand and she cursed under her breath. She heard the message go through. It was her father telling her to get ready for the festival.

The festival...

But that was tomorrow! Saori ran-- stumbled, really, to her calendar. She saw X's before today's date with a huge circle around it and the words 'FESTIVAL @ 8:15 _tty'. What did tty mean though? Did it mean-

She heard her actual alarm go off. It was 6:30! She had to start getting ready now so she could get there early! After a quick shower, she grabbed her yutaka and put it on neatly. She spent some time brushing her hair to keep it in check, and stopped when she thought it looked nice enough. She put on her regular orange blush to make it just slightly noticeable, and put on her vital pink lip gloss. She didn't feel too hungry, so she decided to skip the breakfast for today.

Saori got outside and looked around. It was getting dark out already, which meant it was close to the start of the festival. She was sure she would do good in the singing contest, but was still a bit nervous about it. That wasn't her concern for now though! She was looking for someone, but couldn't find her. That bothered her.

"Hey! Kito! Need some help over there with the lights?!"

Oh! That was her voice! Now, where did it come from? She thought it was from somewhere to her left, so she started to walk over there. Saori waved to friends and fellow singers as she walked to her destination. She saw a pale girl with light blue eyes looking at the sky, and knew that it was her almost instantly. She waved from in front of her, and called out, "Hi, Ayumi!"

Gentree sat at the center o the floor around the general area of the festival. He snapped pictures form all direction. He climbed up a tree and took a wide shot. he laid on his beck and turned his camera to the festival for a upside down picture. He adjusted his blue yukata...and sighed he sat crisscross on the festival grounds. he propped his hands on his knees...Hes been here taking pictures since the people where setting it up..he was so tired...he closed his eyes for a bit..then he looked over his pictures he took and sighed.."need sleep..need food" he muttered before he full blown had a conversation with himself. "no i should've brought the digital camera instead of the Polaroid..." He watched on as a few people walked in his peripheral vision..he took out his camera still sitting on the ground and took more pictures.

Alexander put the last box of his stuff in his room. He looked around at the bare room. "It's going to take a while to get use to living here." He said to himself. He then heard a knock on the door, He walked over and opened the door "what's up?" He asked. His mother replied "I heard that there is a festival going on in town, why don't you go and see if you can make some friends before school starts." Alex sighed and said "you honestly think people from my school are going to be there?" His mother said "it can't hurt, plus your father will give you money to for the booths." Alex chuckled and said "you just don't want me home alone do you." His mother smiled and said "yeah you are such a troublesome kid" She started laughing not being able to keep a straight face. Alex laughed as well and said "thanks mom, I think I'll go then." He then hugged his mom and then walked down to his father's study.

Alex entered his father's study which was half filled with books. Alex said "hey dad mom said you would give me money for the festival" His father chuckled a bit and said "she finally convinced you to leave your room huh?" He then got down off the ladder he was on and pulled out his wallet and gave Alex some money. "now don't blow it all on food, and remember to get your mother something." He said. Alex chuckled and said "yes sir, don't have too much fun while i'm gone." His father chuckled and said "we are going out to eat anyways." Alex chuckled and said "alright take care dad" He then left the house and headed toward the festival around 7:45 am. He ended up in the park nearby and said "crap, I should have found a map to where it was."

Ayumi smiles as she looks at the lights. She always loved it when they flickered for a bit before emiting bright and beautiful lights. She then backed up for a second, seeing someone she knew now in front of her. "Sai~!" she exclaimed, standing up now and waving to the man who shooed her off since she was done. "Oohhh~ You look so cute!" smiling as she complimented her. She looked like she actually knew how to tie her yukata properly unlike Ayumi who was now pulling her yukata up so that her boobs didn't pop out. She then stands on a nearby rail, balancing with her hands out and quickly flipping over to face Sai. "You're in the singing contest, aren't ya? Haha, I might just join the bread eating contest!" stretching out her arms and hopping off of the pole.

"Well, i'm sure you'll do great! Oh! Do ya want to go check out some of the other stalls? I saw a mask one over there and I think i'll go get a wolf one." Ayumi walked backwards as she talked to Sai, already heading over to the stall. The stall was nearby the park and she spotted a somewhat lost looking guy so she headed over to him, looking over at Sai to have her follow. "Hello! Ya lost? Where do you want to go?" she asked, a bright smile on her face as she looked straight at him. Oops. Personal space. She took a step back and continued to look at him. She knew where pretty much everything in the neighborhood was so if he was searching for something, she could most likely find it.

Yuukawa awoke from his sleep with tax forms laid out in front of him. He groaned and slowly lifted his head. Sooo... Annoooyyyinnnnng. It was already April and pretty much all that occupied his mind was taxes. Freaking April 18th was the deadline and it was already April 2nd. He stood up and went over to the restroom as he hummed. The only bad thing was taxes right now. Everything else was just perfect. It was going to be the festival soon and Yuukawa was extremely excited. Washing his face, brushing his teeth, and then he finally getting on a simple outfit. Guess I'm ready! With that, he exited his home after putting the tax forms away. His mom never did like dealing with that crap.

THe festival already had a bunch of people gathered. He quickly made his way to the taiyaki booth and went ahead and got two of them. "Mmm~" happily munching away before spotting a stranger and walking over to him. "Y'want one?" he asked, just finishing up his and now a bright smile on his face as he handed held out one of the taiyaki to the... hmm... younger boy? He didn't really know anyone in the neighborhood yet but oh well, making friends couldn't be that hard could it? All the people he met so far seemed it anything, too nice. The boy looked tired and maybe a bit stressed. He got out of the way of his camera so that he wouldn't get in the way of any shots. "Well, of course, not if you think i'm some sort of killer." he laughed at this for a second but followed it up with a sincere smile. He did look hungry and starving him self at a festival didn't make sense. If he denied, he'd most likely just give him some money if he didn't have any anyways.
@rocklee

Sitting in the dorms at 6:55 PM while a few of the other girls are going crazy, Kiley is watching all the girls argue on how they were going to dress Kiley up for her first festival, "Hey. You really don't have to do this. I can figure something out." They didn't even seem to hear her except for one, "This is your first festival. We have got to make it your best." True it was her first, but that's only because her and Alex only arrived in Japan a few days ago, *I think they're doing this more for themselves then me. I wonder if Alex has to deal with this chaos*.



"Seriously guys, what's the big deal. It's just a festival." Alex was already ready. He had been for awhile. Wearing his usual button-up shirt with the sleeves rolled up 3/4 the way up the arm and unbuttoned with a random tee under it and jeans and black tennis shoes. One of his hall-mates walked up and said, "Not to these guys. Come on man we're in Japan. Practically every guy watches anime or reads manga. It's infected their minds. They are desperate for a relationship that they might just do anything."

"I watch anime and I'm not acting like an idiot, and what about you. You're the only other guy not being weird."

"It doesn't matter. You should probably get going. These guys are gonna make it so much worse to try and get around when they start leaving."

"Yeah, I probably should. Gotta get to my sister's dorm and wait for her."



Alex has arrived at the gate to the girls dorm at about 7:20 and decides to just wait on a bench and read a small book he carries with him. Kiley Is finally dressed in a beautiful kimono, and one of the girls triumphantly says, "See my idea was best."

"Uhh, thank you, but my brother is probably waiting for me by now. I've got to get going." She finally gets away from the other girls and is excited to get to the festival. When she gets to the gate she sees Alex and taps him on the shoulder, "Come on. Let's go. Hopefully we can meet some of our future classmates." Alex looks up and is surprised when he sees Kiley in the kimono, "Whoa, where did you get the kimono. Looks like I need to be the protective brother for the festival.

"Don't be a butt, Alex. Anyway you know I don't care about that stuff."

"Yeah but its still fun to bug you. Either way we should get going." After walking for awhile, and getting lost a few times, the twins finally arrive at the location of the festival, "This is perfect. We're foreigners and have no idea what's going on."

"Maybe we should find someone our age?"

"Sure. Whatever."

"Y'want one?".Gentree looked up at some guy holding out...food. He looked at him for a bit to see if he was joking but he just kinda stood there. He smiled and took the taiyaki. "wow..thank you..do you need me to pay you back?" Gentree got up with one hand and dusted myself off. He held out a hand "nice to meet you". Its been a while since He talked to anyone generally his age..he was supposed to start high school..and all my dear friends where left behind.

Christopher had woken up later than he wanted. He was up late last night, way too excited to just sleep. He watched television until he couldn't stay awake anymore. Chris never really was a night owl, but events like this always seemed to keep him up. Chris turned his head to see the clock and gasped rather loudly.

"Oh no!", he yelled upset as he looked at the clock. He jumped out of bed and rushed to get ready. He showered faster than ever, threw on clothes quickly, and ran out the door. He ran down his street, not realizing he was running the wrong way until he saw fields of grass. He let out an irritated sigh before running back in the opposite direction.

After a long bout of sprinting, he finally arrived to see all his classmates. He panted as he bent over and placed his hands on his knees to catch his breath. He stood up after a few seconds and looked up at the sky. He smiled, glad he was finally here. He walked around a bit before sitting down alone, still catching his breath.

"Sai~! Oohhh~ You look so cute!" Sai watched Ayumi as she stood up and smiled. It didn't look like Ayumi knew how to tie her yukata properly, which was fine. She still looked really nice with it on. She blushed a little at Ayumi's compliment, and decided to return the favor. "Thanks, Ayumi. You look really nice." She said, and muttered something under her breath to herself. "You just couldn't think of anything else, huh?"

"You're in the singing contest, aren't ya? Haha, I might just join the bread eating contest!" Ayumi said. This had snapped her out of it, so she could actually give her an answer that isn't shit this time. "Yeah, I'm in the contest." She said. She had what she was going to sing in mind, but just wasn't sure if it would be good enough. Doesn't matter now, because it's too late to change it, she thought. "Well, i'm sure you'll do great! Oh! Do ya want to go check out some of the other stalls? I saw a mask one over there and I think i'll go get a wolf one." Huh? Oh yeah, the stalls were set up now. Did she really not notice them behind Ayumi? Huh. Sai's usually more observant than that. She shrugged it off, though.

"I'd love to." Sai said, before noticing some lost guy that was near the park. She followed Ayumi over to him, and let her ask the questions. Sai observed the guy, and he looked like someone she could talk to. She wasn't suspicious of him. Yet. Hopefully he ends up like a second Chris or something. Speaking of Chris, he was actually right over there. She gave him a short wave, but didn't go over to him. She didn't want to ditch this other guy for now.

Late. Late as usual. "Bao, you are a disgrace." her mother lectured at the edge of her bed. The young woman had a sweatshirt hanging off her slender body, and her one leg sticking out from beneath a pale grey comforter. A displeased look spread across Bao's face as she looked her mother. If she'd have been less terrified of the woman she'd have told her to get out and never talk to her again- but she was indeed terrified of her mother and decided the best thing to do was oblige. "Yes mom." her tone was bland and nonchalant. "The festival is today, I'll leave some money here on your dresser. Go see if they have anything to help with a bright start for school, okay?" A small smile formed on Bao's face. Her mother really did care for her, and wanted her to do well for herself even if it wasn't in the most loving and supporting way. "Thank you mom." she said, as she watched her mother leave her room.

Heaving herself out of her bed to reveal herself pant-less, she moved over to the dresser and looked at the money. Counting it. It was enough for a delicious snack at the festival and maybe even buy something cute to wear for the school year. She grabbed the money and placed it into her bag that sat on the floor in a heap as she began gathering some clothes for herself to wear before she hopped into the shower and got ready to go.

After about a half hour Bao was out the door, and in the bustle of the festival area. She spotted Chris first, his back to her while he sat. She giggled, trying to quiet approach him. Her dancer legs quiet and fast before she threw her hands over his eyes. "Guess who?" she asked, Chris her voice quiet and hushed as she leaned into his back. "If you guess right, I owe you a treat and if you guess wrong, you owe ME a treat." she asked the boy again, a grin stretched across her face.

@jaybreezy

Chris was of course a bit surprised. He smiled a bit from her touch. As he heard Bao's voice, he already knew it was her. He pretended he didn't know and remained silent. "Uh...Bao?" he asked, knowing he was correct. He thought about the "treat" she was talking about. Was it food? A date? Thoughts raced around Chris' mind, and endless amount of ideas to what this treat could be. He had a small blush on his face, knowing that Bao was so close to him. He enjoyed every moment with her.

@MissCapnCrunch

Alex was looking around and then to his surprise to see not 1 but 2 girls coming up to him. Both girls were cute, one got really which made him take a step back, he had friends but none got that close. The other girl stay back a bit but seemed to have noticed someone else but was staying by. When she asked him if he was lost he said "yeah I'm new to town so I don't know the town well, I was actually looking for the festival." He thought to himself <this girl may go to the same school, if not then it would be nice to at least be with someone at the festival> (he is thinking this to himself not saying it out loud) He then said "My name is Alexander what's yours" holding out his hand to shake. @sakurasan @LowKey123

"Uh...Bao?"

A small gasp escaped from her lips, playfully as she removed her hands from his eyes. "You cheated! You knew already!" she told him as she plopped next to him with a small huff. Looking around to the crowd, many of the people were dressed formally, dresses, button up shirts and the like. She had just a pair of jeans and a light weight sweater on. She moved her hair in front of her right shoulder as she looked at Chris. He was such a kind soul, sweet, gentle. She enjoyed his company, though she often wondered if she was a bit too much for him at times.

Her hand played with the string that hung from the hole in her jeans, before she spoke again; "Well, you know I'm not one to break a promise. You're allowed a treat of your choice. Don't be too pushy now though.." she made a small giggle, as she tucked the loose string underneath the fabric.

@jaybreezy

Chris let out a small laugh from her reaction. "Cheating? All I did was answer." He said, his voice full of joy. He looked at her as she sat next to him and smiled softly. He adjusted the red scarf he had wrapped around his neck and looked around, noticing he was the only one wearing a scarf. Chris kicked a small rock in front of him before turning his attention back to Bao. Bao dressed pretty nice in Chris' eyes. He doesn't think he'd be able to pull her look off.

Chris shrugged. "Oh...I don't need a treat. You're my treat." He said, laughing after he thought about how his sentence sounded. He turned a bright red and looked down at the ground.

@MissCapnCrunch

As Dom walked with, his sister and friend, Dominic looked at his phone. Six missed calls...all from his momthe thought of his mom annoyed. "Pint size go have fun with your friend, meet up with me later at the squid nuts shack." He said as his sister rolled her eyes "thats the.." she said before stopping her self " no shits to be had?" She ask as Dom nodded as he played with his old banged up zippo lighter " there are no shits to be had, not now not ever." He said as checked to see if he had fluid in it. After a flick the lighter sparked to life, lighting up the body of the lighter. The case was a matte black color with a red dragon on the side. As his sister left with her friend dominic found himself walking around, looking at the stalls. They all looked boring either some dumb ring or goldfish game with a few shop stalls. After a few minutes Dom found himself at a basketball game. Three shots to try and win a prize fuck it got nothing else to do... he thought as he paid the man for a few rounds.

Hinata
Hinata sat on a bench watching people walk by and in awe of a few peoples kimono. [i]So pretty... I will never be like that... [i]she thought as she looked down at her jeans and nirvana. Growing up her older sister had been a huge fan and always listened to their songs. Her mother had told her to just go out and try and meet people, all the good it did her, all shes done was talk to some little kids and look at peoples kimonos.

She grinned, flipping her head over to Sai once she saw that her mind was somewhere else but returned once she saw that it was simply someone she didn't really know. Throwing a quick wave before she turned back to the guy. "Haha! Lookin for the festival? Surprised you missed it with all the noisy people talkin abou-" she then turned her head and realized... pretty much everyone had gone to the festival already. Sheesh, this neighborhood really does like their celebrations. But well, that was why she loved the place. "Guess they all already up and left." a grin formed on her face. "Well, no mind. You're new? Oh! You might just end up going to the same high school as us." she said, pulling Sai over gently so that she didn't hurt her. "Sai and I are going to Arctane high." she pointed over to the area of the festival and took his hand, grabbing it. "Well! C'mon! The festival already started!" She said, a large grin now plastered on her face as she already started heading to the festival. "Saaaiii~ C'mon!!"

They soon arrived at the festival which was now lite up. It was so beautiful. The dark already creeping in. Of course, this neighborhood had their drinking stalls but they didn't let people get too drunk. You gotta have enough lucidity to be able to pay attention to the fireworks! She let go of the mans hand now. The parade was marching through and people were watching. "Here's the parade!" she looked around to see a basketball game. "Ooooh~" she quickly took out a fifty dollar bill and handed it to the man whom she already knew. "Yoishi! Hii!! How are you??" she asked cheerfully as he broke the cash and handed the rest back to her, only taking $2. "Good, good, how are you Ayumi? Cheerful as always I see." he put on a nice grin as he stepped out from in front of the other boy that was there. She had 5 basketball tries and she made all 5, giving him a peace sign at her win. These types of stalls usually gave out stuffed animal but on the spring festivals and such, she received a large popper, a kitsune mask, and a couple of firecrackers. She grinned. They always had a spot where the teenagers could set em off later. "Thanks Yoishi!!" she then noticed that the boy who was there and turned to him. "Haven't seen ya around. You're new in town in guessing? Nice to meet you! My name's Ayumi!" she said, the large grin still placed on her face. After all, she loved meeting new people.
@caliban22@Dmessenger@LowKey123

Meria soon noticed that the festival was getting very lively. It was extremely noisy and she had to constantly move out of the way for kids. She exhaled before sucking up some air and looking ahead of her. She soon noticed 2 foreighners that looked maybe... lost? She had recieved a map for this event since she was from abroad and her parents wanted her to be fully prepared. She walked over to them calmly, looking straight at the boy and girl. "Are you maybe... Looking for a certain stall?" she asked, showing them a map. She had already memorized the entire thing but... did they even know Japanese? They looked so foreign and she knew that a lot of people came to Japan without knowing the language really. However, she knew many languages anyways so why not just talk them up.

@alexfangtalon

Dominic looked at thr girl "um yeah nice to meet you I'm Dominic" He said in a slight annoyed at the fact some one was bugging while he was shooting these tiny basketballs.As he picked up one of the ball and tossed it in with ease, the man running the stall would give him a prize he didn't care about the prizes, he just wanted to Dominic "Oh um ayumi was it?" He asked as he continued to shoot. " Can I ask a favor from you? You can have all this stuff in return if you want." He said witha bored tone as he pointed to a small pile of stuff he had won.

Andrew woke up really late this morning. He sat up and checked is phone before lying back down. Today is that damn festival...I don't wanna go..., he thought to himself. He knew people from school would be there, so he decided to go. Andrew groggily rolled out of bed and shuffled his feet to the bathroom to begin his morning routine. Andrew finished after a while, taking his sweet time to get ready. After finishing this, he got dressed rather slowly as he listened to music, humming the lyrics of his songs.

Andrew finally finished and walked to the festival. He walked at a relatively slow pace, not really wanting to be at the festival all day. It took Andrew about thirty minutes to arrive when in reality it only took about ten minutes. He arrived and saw a huge amount of people, taking him by surprise. There's a few students...maybe they'll recognize me..., he thought. He wasn't really popular last year as it was his first. He didn't have too many friends that he talked to on a regular basis. Andrew walked towards Ayumi and the group she was with.
