She hadn’t been able to get any shopping done the day before, so she was still forced to wear the bland, standard school uniform, with no personal flair at all. She also didn’t have a phone or laptop yet, so she was pretty bored. And she didn’t want to eat, because she would be going into town later, and figured on getting a good meal then.<br/><br/>So she was bored, hungry, and kinda down… when she heard music.<br/><br/>But there was something odd about the music. First, it was probably peculiar that anyone was blasting music that loud in the middle of the school day. But… something about the<em>timbre</em>of the music was… strange. Being naturally curious, and not having anything else to do, she moved closer to investigate.<br/><br/>As she got closer, she realized what was peculiar about the sound. It wasn’t a recording. It was live. There was a live band somewhere… actually playing real music… live.<br/><br/>For a moment, Natsuki was stunned.<br/><br/>Real, live music. She’d never seen live music. Not up close, anyway. She’d heard bands playing at clubs in the distance. And of course, she’d seen videos of live performances on TV. But she’d never been in an actual venue, with a real live band, while they were playing.<br/><br/>She<em>had</em>to experience that.<br/><br/>Whoever it was playing, they were really kicking, too. Natsuki got closer and closer.<br/><br/>That’s when she saw the crowd gathered around the entrance to the music room, from where the music was quite obviously coming from. Natsuki cursed under her breath. She wouldn’t be able to see much over the crowd. For a moment she considered going invisible and phasing through the crowd to be able to see the band from right up front. But unfortunately, going intangible would make the sound strange and muffled. So with a heavy sigh, she stepped forward, determined to see as much as she could through the crowd.<br/><br/>That turned out to be unwise.<br/><br/>Certainly the crowd was very much into the music, dancing and cheering in the small space they had available while still being able to see in through the music room door. Unfortunately, it turned out they were also very big fans of the band. And they were not keen on having some stranger horn in on<em>their</em>fandom.<br/><br/>Pressed together as they were, their dancing was less dancing and more bumping and shoving around, as they all jostled for the best positions to see their favourite band members… and be seen by them.<strong>“Sorry,”</strong>Natsuki said, the first time she was shoved. But after it happened again and again:<strong>“Hey. Ow! Come on! That’s my chest! Hey, watch out! I’m just trying to get a peek then I’ll leave! Hey, watch where you’re shoving!”</strong><br/><br/>Finally she gave up trying to push her way in to see the band, and instead started trying to push her way<em>out</em>to escape. That was a mistake. It made her the one fish trying to swim against the current, and the next time she was shoved, she lost her balance completely.<br/><br/>She fell first backward through the group, then spun at the last second as she burst through into the music room to fall flat on her face skidding into the room with her arms outstretched.
