「 Trust 」

「 Cheerful Introduction 」

"Hey, don't worry. We can hang." I smiled at the red haired octoling. She had purple eyes and wore Half Rim Glasses, an Octo Tee, and some strange shoes I've never seen before. They had long socks with a shoe that seemed to be a black version of the Blue Slip-Ons.

Okemia breathed out a huge sigh of relief, then smiled at the group and I.
Amber was the first to introduce herself, "Hi! My name is Amber and we're going to have so much fun, you have no idea how long it's been since I've had a different friend, its been forever and you should totally sit with us and play some Turf with us and oooohh, what's your favorite color!?"

Okemia stood there in surprise, probably surprised by how fast Amber could blurt out words. "I—uh... first, sure, second of course! And third, my favorite color is purple!" Okemia smiled back to Amber. I was also surprised, but because Okemia actually understood Amber's gibberish.

"Greetings, my name is Scarlett, although most of my acquaintances refer to me as Scar." The red inkling bowed politely. Scarlett had always been a little more fancier and formal than us, though she dresses like a teenage rebel.

"And I'm Ash, Amber's twin brother, though I'm not as obnoxious as my devilishly loud sister." Ash replied, his feet up on the table and his hand going up once as a wave of hello.

Okemia giggled in response. She then turned to me, took my hands and said a quick thanks before asking for all our numbers then sitting down.

"I hope you all don't mind my presence as octolings aren't very popular around here..." Okemia sighed sadly, looking at all the happy faces surrounding her.

"Don't worry about it. We're cool with it." I gave her a reassuring thumbs up and a smile. Okemia returned the silent gesture.

After a about 15 minutes of chatting Ash suggested playing some turf. There were 5 of us, so one of us would have to sit out. Okemia said that she should so she could look at our play style before she joined in. Plus, she didn't want to break up our league, which was pretty nice of her.

As we entered to lobby, another team came in. (Finally a chance to make my ocs look good for once—) One of them had light pink tentacles, and white eyes. She was fairly short, but not as small as the light blue haired girl that had greyish blue eyes beside her. The other two were somewhat tall, one having orange tentacles and purple eyes while the other had yellow hair and pink eyes.

Amber immediately recognized who they were, Girls Unit. An idol group who was pretty well known around here.

While Amber fangirled over the fact that her idols were right in front of her, the leader, Dream (yup this jerk—), looked at us with annoyed eyes but kept her cool as she noticed Amber was a fan. I heard that the Girls Unit wasn't as sweet as they seemed on TV, most of this was about Dream. I didn't find it surprising but I mean if the media reports on it I might as well mention it.

Anyways, when we entered the match I saw Okemia in the bleachers cheering us on. But as soon as the match started and I got splatted by Dream. When I respawned I looked up to see Okemia quickly look though a black book with sad eyes. Her phone than rang, so she picked it up and suspiciously ran off in a rush. How strange..

Back to the match. All you need to know is that we got crushed. "Pfh, you know they're hiring at the café, right?" Dream laughed some more as she walked off with her group out of the tower.

"That bitc—"

"AHHH I CANNOT BELIEVE I JUST HAD A MATCH WITH MY IDOLS! I—I HAVE TO RUN AFTER THEM TO GET AN AUTOGRAPH! I'LL BE RIGHT BACK! AHHHH!" Amber interrupted her brother, bursting between us to run after them, screaming. Scarlett just sighed as she hang her head in defeat. "It must have been hard to compete with someone such a Dream" I pointed out, patting her shoulder.

Right before we went to sulk at our apartment a pink inkling came up to us with amazement in her eyes.

"Hi! My name is Cheery!"

When they decided to go and play some Turf War, I thought I should probably watch to get the gist of how well they play.

I sat in the bleachers, my black notebook open, and ready to write down anything and everything.

I looked up to see the match was over, Blitz's team defeated so I quickly ran out of the bleachers.

「Blitz's POV」
»»————-　★　————-««

"Hi! My name is Cheery!" The pink tentacled girl waved happily. She had pink hair and eyes, and wore Fake Contacts, Pink-Easy Stripe Shirt and some cool black boots I've never seen before.

"I saw you guys battle and it was so amazing! I was hoping that I could maybe hang out with you guys!" She smiled, hopping around all excited like.

"Sure, why not. We're heading back to our apartment if you want to hang." I smiled.

Man, I've getting a lot of cute girls asking to be my friend today. Who knew I was such a ladies' man ;)

So I hope you like this new story... I made the first draft of this in July of 2018 under a different name. I never published it, as I didn't think I should publish books with no more than one or two completed drafts. Anyways, after reading the reboot of Erased and becoming friends with iiFieryFox  I thought that it would be cool to redo the format of the book to be more mysterious, so that you question what will happen next like Fiery's book.

Also, don't worry. The plot is completely different :D
Oh, and Girls Unit won because they need a break because of the hell they're about to face in Fiery's book.

NO SPOILERS BUT STILL YEET—

So yeah, thanks for reading this long af paragraph.
