Never Derive, Just Thrive!

As the music fades from the Muse performance, the entire shool audience cheers loudly, clapping madly! I'm one of them, and after it dies down, the girl in the middle: Honoka calls out "Thanks everyone, you're amazing as always! It won't be long till our next performance! See you then!". Everyone begins leaving the auditorium, and as I do, I'm way too giddy, and rushing through the door, I smack straight into someone who's humming a familiar song, causing us to topple onto our butts! "Whoa!", "Aghh!". "Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry! I'm a flipping klutz!", I offer a hand for the person I knocked over, and she shakes her head, her chin-short brown hair sways side to side, and she blinks her light brown eyes. "Oh, hi! It's not a problem, I should have looked where I was going".

"Hehe my name's Katie Lulamoon, nice to meet ya". She smiles "And I'm Wynd Kimura, it's very nice to meet you too, Katie Lulamoon!". We decide to walk together after we learn we normally get to our homes via the same route, and I'm too curious not to ask: "Hey, were you humming the tune of Start Dash before, Wynd?". She giggles softly "Yup, after I watched their show before, My memory went back to their first song that I heard when I first started coming to this school! It got stuck in my head, and I couldn't resist singing it, heha~". "Well, it DID start them off being school idols, from what I've heard!". We natter about Muse's songs, squealing at how awesome they are, and how we'd love to be AS awesome!

On the way, I spot a girl our height, alone, leaning on a wall, staring at her phone in a daze. "Hey, you ok over there?" I call over, alerting her, "Oh! Yeah, I'm fine, why?". We wander over, even as Wynd is looking confused as to why I'm speaking to a random girl with waist length ebony black hair with red dip dye tips and glasses over her hazel eyes, in the steet. "I'm Katie, and I was just curious what's up, heh, u looked a little depressed. Sorry if I'm being really nosy". "Oh, not at all! I'm Raimu Yume, and, um, I was looking at a picture of a magazine article I took, of Hanayo, one of the members of Muse. She's my favourite, I can so compare to her, her personality is a lot like mine!". Wynd gasps, "No way! I liken myself to one of Muse too! I think I'm a lot like Rin-chan!". Raimu smiles happily "Haha! Hold on, you're Wynd Kimura, right? The one who got top marks in the English test?". I gasp "Holy moly really? Aren't English tests for us Third Years supposed to be super hard?". "Yeah, but... Um... Ahem, enough about me..", Wynd glances away, while Raimu asks me; "Hey, aren't you that Exchange Student that came into a 3rd Year class group? I'm just guessing due to your accent.". "Yep, thats me, the crazy hyper new girl! Now that I think about it, I'd have to say I'm quite a bit like Honoka, the leader? I'm really over-enthusiastic and am always positive!". They glance at each other, "Yep, definetely like Honoka". In the middle of giggling, I realise something... "Oh, no! Oh, no no no no no no!". Giving me confused, worried looks, Wynd and Raimu question, "What's up, Katie?", Raimu adds: "Yeah, something wrong?". I groan, facepalming, "I gotta move my butt to ... Shrine for cleaning and caring duty, otherwise Miss Nozomi is gonna get mad... Again! Sorry, girls, I gotta pound it if I dont wanna get in trouble!". As I start to run off, I hear Raimu say "Nozomi, a member of Muse?!".
