Original Stories Fan Fiction ❯ Love or Hate ❯ Volume Eight, Chapter Fifty-Five: Little White Lie ( Chapter 55 )

Little White Lie

One little lie could blow everything out of portion. Shinta is finding out fast with his little groupie. Okay, let's back up first. It felt nice to have an admirer for a change. It was almost a bit creepy. His bandmates thought so. Shinta didn't care. This girl would be their ticket.

“So what's your name again?” he asked. She stared at him in a dreamy way.

“Rumi,” she said.

“Right,” he said. She was a bit creepy. Still, he saw potential. Rumi smiled.

“Do you party on the road?” she asked. Shinta looked over at her. She had the eyes of a child.

“Yeah,” he said, nodding. “Crazy parties. So much booze and drugs. The fans love it.” An obvious lie. Not like she would take him seriously, right? Rumi's eyes began to twinkle.

“Wow!” she said. Shinta froze. Wait… She wasn't really buying it, was she? Shinta didn't know what to make of this.

“Yeah,” he said. “We would get laid every night.” Rumi frowned a bit.

“Oh…” she said. He put up his hand.

“Don't worry. That's a joke,” he said. “That rarely happens.” Rumi relaxed. Okay… This could be interesting.

Meanwhile, Snow and Kenta looked at each other.

“What is he doing?” Snow asked. Kenta shrugged and shook his head. Both had a bad feeling about this. Rumi was just that creepy. She had to go. But she was their only groupie. The men frowned. Shinta did all of the talking while she listened enraptured.

The vocalist didn't stop talking. Some were lies. Some were half-truths. Shina just felt super important.

Then she took things too far.

Rumi stood up.

“We should have a wild party with the fans!” she said. The girl pumped her fist in the air while laughing.

“You know what?” We should,” Shinta said. His bandmates looked at each other. What the hell was this? Shinta and Rumi took each other by the hands and laughed. Neither one could see this was a bad idea until it was too late. Why didn't anyone stop them there? Why? Just why? Well…

Shinta sat down, laughing.
