Chapter 41 - Cool Kids Table

It was eight in the morning, the chilly wind outside conditioning it's victims to wear a couple more pieces of clothing. The rainy weather leaving the day gloomier, yet faintly romantic.

For Luna however, the outside temperature didn't matter as inside the studio, the lights compensated, leaving the once cold environment warm. Staring at the youths beside her, Luna wondered if she should have asked for more iced coffee, as the liquids had almost vanished from the once full cups.

"Hello and welcome to Cool Kids Table, We are your hosts. Amy" Said a pretty girl with blue hair in two space buns, her school uniform filled with chains.

"Vroom." A tall boyish man spoke.

"Chris." Another blonde man spoke.

"And today we welcome the Moonlight stars, Amelia, Oscar, Maya, Lisa, Samuel, Fiery, ATP and Luna." Amy screamed, as the artists entered the set in little jogs, fitting of the program's theme.

Cool Kids Table, despite the cringy name was a very popular program. It was an informal, very casual program that focused on different activities, such as games and challenges. It was a very helpful program for the fans to see different sides of their idols. Normally hosted by three famous idols that switched from season to season. This year around, the hosts were acquaintances of Luna, which allowed her special privilege to cut the waiting line.

The colorful studio, allowing for the monochromatic coordinated outfits to shine even brighter. Although Luna had in mind to only accept capable people, the youths besides her didn't lack in the least in the looks department. Staring at the screen besides the camera, Luna couldn't deny, it was a good look.

"So, we finally got to meet the talk of town." Vroom spoke, kicking the air as he approached, his tongue clicking, as he exaggerated his delinquent façade.

In this program, the hosts and guests had to act out to fit the Cool Kids theme. The hosts were the cool kids, while the guests were new cool kids entering initiation to sit at the cool kids table, making it quite refreshing and very catering towards the younger audience. Holding her breath not to laugh, Luna made a funny expression, turning a 180 and staring away.

Vroom was a quite known face in the industry, he was a B list actor on the rise, with youthful looks and a good personality, he acquired fame quite quickly making him be able to host such a popular program. However, it was very odd seeing the always childish man acting tough, especially for Luna who was very much acquainted with him. Vroom belonged to Potter, and at a time even dated Nina, even if it didn't last long. They were even close for a while, not a speaking every month type of close, but a small talk when bumping into each other and eating Lunch together at the cafeteria type of friendly.

Seeing Luna turn beet red, the other hosts also broke out in laughter, making the once tense atmosphere thin out.

"Sorry, sorry." Luna said, covering her face with her hands, taking deep breaths.

"Yo, new kid. If you want to sit at our table I demand respect." Vroom stuffed out his chest, deepening his voice in a manlier way, making the people who once laughed quietly, break out in a stomach hurting laughter. As his cheeks flushed in embarrassment, Vroom approached Luna. "Yo, come here."

Receiving a finger flick on her forehead, Luna rubber the place, taking deep breaths to calm herself.

"Sorry, Vroom, you are just way too cool." Luna joked, still catching air, her flushed cheeks revealing how hard she was trying not to laugh.

"How dare you, new kid who I don't know, speak my name?" The man puffed his chest once more, his hands on his waist like a scolding mother.

Receiving a light elbow on his ribs from Amy, the man shook his head, putting the little feud to the side. "Anyway, please, introduce yourselves."
