Not What Others Would Blast

[Kirk Morrowik]

Why do you have to be such a dork? It's embarrassing!

Andy ignored and action continued, Kirk kept dancing in his seat in the corner of the lounge. He knew what he was jamming out to wasn't what most kids his age really danced to: "Sing Sing Sing" by Benny Goodman. Not a care given and eyes shut, Kirk kept going as he jammed out in his seat. Song ended and pout formed, Kirk picked up his phone to reply the song.



Oh hell no! Don't you dare!
What? I want to hear it again!
That's great for you, but I don't!
Well it's my body and my ears! I can do what I want!
Yeah, but look up first idiot! Someone obviously saw you and your stupid dancing.

Surprise dawned and head turned as Kirk stared at the person who had walked up to his table. A sheepish smile, he hesitantly waved before rubbing the back of his neck.

Well, this is awkward.
No shit Sherlock.

[Poppy Lockwood]

Poppy had the biggest grin on her face. When the boy finally acknowledged her, he had a sheepish smile and looked like he had been caught doing something he should not have done. Her grin grew wider--if that was even possible.

She had been sitting across the room with a book in her lap. It was supposed to keep her preoccupied for the next hour, but there had been a distraction. At the other end of the room, a boy was dancing like there was no one else in the room. He probably did not think anyone paid attention. But Poppy did. She watched the boy moved in his seat. The music was not loud enough for her to hear it, but she had guessed it would have been very catchy--whatever it was.

The boy had danced for eight minutes long. Poppy was very entertained. When he stopped moving, she thought the song had ended and took it as her cue to make her way towards him.

So that was how she ended up at his table with a huge grin plastered across her face. "Hey!" She waved and greeted him excitedly. She took a seat beside him. "So what kind of music made you move like that?" Asked Poppy, the smile never leaving her face.

[Kirk Morrowik]

Surprise grew and eyes blinked as Kirk took in the enormous grin on the girl's face. He must have been very entertaining to watch.

Well no shit, you looked like a complete idiot.
Hey! I'm a good dancer!
Yeah for a white boy that has no one to compare to.
I'd like to see you do better!
You realize how stupid that statement is, right? Surely you can't be that dull. Although I would be surprised.

A pout and glare up and off to the side, Kirk didn't realize he was making a face until a few seconds later. Expression returned, Kirk focused on what she was asking and hoped she didn't question his odd face. Wave returned and smile turned a tad goofy, Kirk thought for a second before grabbing a piece of paper and writing out what he was listening to.

"Sing Sing Sing" by Benny Goodman.

Paper turned and pushed forward, Kirk shrugged at his taste in music. He was a fan of big band, and wouldn't deny it.

[Poppy Lockwood]

Was he deaf? It was the first thought that entered her mind. But when she read the writing on the paper, she realized he had understood her. So, not deaf. Perhaps he was like Raj Koothrappali from The Big Bang Theory tv series. Raj was shy when it came to girls. He could not speak directly to them, the words just could not be voiced unless he had the help of alcohol.

"Sing, sing, sing..." She knew the song Sing by Ed Sheeran. It was catchy and had a good beat that she can see people dance to. The song the boy had written was not one she knew and she did not know the artist, Benny Goodman, either. Judging from the nonchalant shrug he gave, he must knew it was not a popular pick among their peers but he did not give a damn. If you can imagine so, her grin grew bigger. She liked someone who stood their ground and her curiosity grew.

Poppy took the pen from his hand and begun writing.

Do you think you could share with me what you were listening to, please? I'd like to--

What was she thinking? He was not deaf. God, Poppy. She scratched the words furiously. So she scooted her chair closer and asked, "Do you think I can listen too, please? And I'm Poppy by the way."
