Splat Your Heart Out!: A Splatoon Story

I Hate Mornings

BEEP BEEP BEEP!!!

7:00 A.M.

I never understood how people could get up so early. Like, really. I rolled over onto the other side of my bed. The vent from the floor had been blowing for a good while now, so the bed was pretty warm. Right before i'd almost drifted back to sleep, my Squidphone starts yelling "WAKE UP!!! SLEEP IS FOR THE WEAK!!!"

I slam my finger on the small screen, right before I about threw it out the window. I think there's a reason my dad put a board on my window... Huh...

"Uuugh" i say "why does school have to be so friggin early?!" But then I realize.
It's 7:00 A.M.
On a Saturday.
In March.

I looked at my phone one more time. The splatfest is in 10 days, but I had barely prepared. I haven't even chosen a team yet!

"Mayo or ketchup?" This question would haunt me all day; the March splatfest question. Pearl, Inkopolis's resident rapper, and Marina, The singer and DJ. Both were pretty much a waifu war. Most people chose based on them. Me?; i choose based on solid opinions. My choice for splatfest would be ketchup.

I changed into a simple sweatshirt and shorts. I would get my splatfest tee later today anyway. I ran downstars, grabbing a banana for a quick breakfast, and dashed for the square

On the way there, I noticed a girl. She was wearing a white tank top and had pink hair. She seemed in a rush. Dunno where to though, so I disregarded her.

It was 8:46 when I arrived at the splatfest terminal. I selected team ketchup, and a red t-shirt fell down the chute in a small plastic package. It also had a small ketchup bottle with cartoonish eyes on it.

"Oh? You're team Ketchup too? Guess we're on the same team!"
It was the girl from earlier.
"My name's Yumi! What's yours?"
"My name? I-I'm Matt! Nice to meet you!"
"It's nice to meet you too!"

I think i finally found someone who'll put up with my weirdness.
