▫Rika▫ The drummer.

Another night another show. It was a big night for Silent Kiss. The show was wild the songs amazing and the crowd vibrating with energy. Lilly the singer had sung to the point she started losing her voice Max the guitarist actually arrived on time today and membered his guitar pic for the first time. Rex went all out with their mix of goth and colorful makeup and played till their fingers were red and soar. And Rika and put everything into the drums and hit every note (mostly). But now it was gonna be the best part. The group hadn't done this before well at least right after a show. It wasn't exactly a meet and greet up but it seemed just like one other than the fact the band was sweaty and their nerves shocked. It had been good. All the fans were sweet the people respectful and gave so many compliments it felt a bit overwhelming. They had talked to nearly 67 people or maybe even 69! They had lost track. Each conversation was maximum of a minute and a half and two if the conversation was actually interesting. Max had been being fan titled over Lilly had gotten to many compliments about her voice to count Rex had been told they were at least 25 peoples role models and Rika had been told about how so many people thought she was one of the coolest people. Everyone was there teen around fifteen at youngest with their families and even a couple forty year olds who had said they never felt more alive. And to be honest Rika was so happy that such a large age range was affected by the bands music. It was sweet to know that people felt accepted and comforted by the music. It was perfect. But then as the conversation with the fan was over and then next walked over Rika paused. Her heart kept into her throat her heart began to jackhammer against her ribs and her palms began to sweat against the bandages around her hands that where there for decoration and to make it so her drum sticks didn't get all sweaty and slippery while she was playing. Slowly she leaned forward listening intently as the person talk and answering all the questions they asked with a smile. And as the timer for two minutes before Rika could even realize what she did she reached out and shook the girls had with a awkward smile and spoke "Your really pretty! If you want to ask anymore questions I could give you my number! We could go for dinner or drinks or whatever!" And once it left her lips her eyes widened her brain finally processing what she had just said. Quickly she looked at the clock. They had twenty minutes left of the meet and greet and before she could stop herself and think it through she added "Or if your willing to wait since we have twenty minutes left we could grab a bite after. I'm sire my band mates wouldn't mind!" There was no going back now. So she just sat there awkwardly still holding their hand with a shy embarrassed smile silently mentally kicking herself. On the other grand her band mates were watching smiles and smirks on their faces as they watched Rika acting like a shy teen again. So there she sat just waiting eyes hopeful and cheeks burning more and more red by the second.
