"HEEEEYYY!" Shouted a familiar voice. You turned your head to see a young girl running towards you, waving her arms to and fro trying to get your attention, oblivious to whatever attention she may draw from the other students on their commute to school. This girl is Sayori, your best friend since childhood. The two of you used to walk together to and from school all the time until high school, where she started to sleep in more and more. You considered running but thought it was best to just slow down and let her catch up. Besides it'll be good to talk to her again. Sayori finally catches up to you, huffing and wheezing, "Remind… me... to... never run like that again... right after waking up…" she wheezed in between breaths.

"Perhaps try waking up on time and you won't have to." You smiled as you teased her. "Just be glad I decided not to ignore you."

Sayori glared at you in a way that could only be described as adorable. "That would have been so mean (Y/N)!" She said. Her glare was soon replaced by a happy smile as her bright blue eyes shined with enthusiasm. "I'm just glad you did decide to wait for me! Hopefully we can start our school walks again!" She smiles as she bumped your side with her elbow, making you stumble a bit.

"Hey! If you keep that up I'll run away next time!" You told her with a smile as she looks at you with shock and apologizes. You would never do that though, but it is fun to tease her and see how she reacts. "I'm just teasing you Sayori, besides, we probably will only be able to walk together in the morning since you're now a part of a club." You told her.

Sayori tapped her fingers together in thought. After a few taps she smiles and says "Perhaps you should join a club! Then we can walk home together! After all I think you do need some social interaction instead of staying locked up in your room playing video games and watching anime!"

You looked at her with your hand at your chest and face expressing fake hurt. "You wound me Sayori! Besides video games is social interaction! Just… not all the time though…" You replied, speaking your last sentence quietly, trying to look away from her.

Sayori smirks at you, and replies "You don't seem too confident about your statement. Tell you what come see my club after school today and if you do you'll get a cupcake!" She smiles making a deal with you.

It's hard to say no to that face so you gave up easily, perhaps some social interaction won't hurt. "Alright sure! What was your club again?" You asked her.

"It's the Literature Club! I'm the Vice President there actually!" She beamed, puffing her chest out in pride.

You groaned loudly, you did not like literature at all. You used to enjoy reading but when your classes started to force you to read books. you started to hate it, thinking it more of a chore then a pleasurable past time. That's not even getting into the discussions and the analysis of the books you read. You always found it boring at how long it took the other students to see the meaning of the book even when it's right in front of them.

You sighed knowing that you already agreed to it and told her. "Alright… get me after class." Sayori smiled and went in to hug you tightly. You pat her back as she continued to squeeze you tightly. She then broke away and went to your side.

The two of you continued your trek to school, passing over students and talking about various subjects. Once the two of you got to school, you each went your separate ways for class. The school day passed through like any other as you paid close attention to your teachers. Once the final bell rang you got up out of your seat and saw Sayori at the door to your classroom. She waved at you and you walked over to her. As Sayori walked you to her club room you took a peak into one of the classrooms and saw what looked like a group of kids playing Super Smash Bros, perhaps you'll go visit this club tomorrow and show them that Lucina can be top tier.

Sayori rolled her eyes at you and continued to talk about the club as she led you to the third floor. After walking down the hall she takes you to class room 3-2. She opens the door and proclaims her arrival. "Hey everyone! I'm here and I brought a guest!" She then grabbed your arm and pulled you into the classroom with little effort.

You stumbled inside and waved shyly. You looked up and saw that there were only three other members and they were all girls! Perhaps this was your lucky day. You saw a short petite girl with pink hair, looking at you with fire in her eyes. "Seriously! You brought a boy! Ugh there goes my peace and quiet!" She proclaimed, annoyed at your presence.

"Now Natsuki, this isn't the way we treat guests, even if he is a boy…" A quiet gentle voice called out. You looked at the source of the voice and saw a tall violet haired girl. Her arms clasped to her back gently allowing you to guess her personality fairly easily.

"Ugh fine Yuri, don't think that I'm happy about this!" Natsuki replied stomping off to the closest.

You looked at the final girl and you saw "her". Emerald eyes, long beautiful brown hair, a big white bow, and a smile that can warm up the coldest of hearts. Yes it was her, Monika. Monika looked at you with a surprised look on her face. "(Y/N)? Is that you? It's a pleasure to see you again!" She smiled as she got up to shake your hand.

"It's… good to see you too!" You stammered, face red.

"Wait you two know each other?!" Sayori asked in surprise.

Monika giggles softly and explains to Sayori. "Well not exactly, we were in the same class last year but we never knew each other that well."

One of your regrets of last year was not taking the time to get to know Monika. She was always so busy with sports, school work, and hanging out with friends that you felt like that you would weigh her down, so you only talked to her when you had to for school. Besides she could find someone that's better than you easily anyways, yet you still admired her.

You scratched the back of your head and said. "Yeah we only talked when we had to do projects together."

Sayori smiles and says. "Well perhaps you two can become friends this time! As well as being friends with Natsuki and Yuri!"

Monika giggles and went over to a group of desks arranged in a circle. "Perhaps we can!" She then raised her finger in the air and got everyone's attention. "Okay everyone! I think with our guest here we should start our club meeting for today!" She spoke elegantly.

Suddenly a loud rumble could be heard in the classroom. Everyone looked at Sayori as she hunched over, hands on her stomach, blushing with a smile on her face. "P…Perhaps we can have some cupcakes now? Ehe…"

Natsuki threw her hand against her forehead and replied. "You and your stomach… fine I'll go get the cupcakes." She then went to the front of the class to grab a tray covered in tin foil.

Yuri stood up from her desk and calmly said, "I'll go get the tea." She went into the closet and got out an electric tea set. You looked at the tea set in concern before Yuri comforted you and said. "Don't worry, we got permission from the teachers to use it! Besides a cup of tea is perfect with a book to read!" You nodded in acknowledgement and went to sit down at a desk. You saw that there was a seat next to Sayori and a seat next to Monika. Without thinking you sat down next to Monika. Sayori looked at you for a moment but just shrugged it off figuring that it's nothing.

"Ehehe don't let yourself get intimidated, Yuri's just trying to impress you." Monika teases causing the violet haired girl to blush heavily.

"Eh?! That wasn't…" She stammered before Monika smiles and motioned for her to calm down. Yuri looked away shyly and went back to preparing the tea. "It's true…"

"Don't worry I believe you. I do enjoy a nice cup of tea from time to time." You told her sweetly trying to ease her. Yuri smiles as she continued to prepare the tea.

Natsuki soon returned to the circle with the tray in hand. "Prepare to be amazed at my amazing creations!" She announced as she took the tin foil off. There in the tray stood five adorable cupcakes! They were decorated in a way to look like cats! You can tell that the eyes, nose, and whiskers were of a different colored frosting while the ears seemed to be some type of cookie. Natsuki took each cupcake and put them on a desk for each of the members of the club. After doing so she went to take a seat and waited for Yuri to finish up with the tea.

Yuri then returned with five teacups on her tea tray. She placed each tea cup gently down in front of each member. When she placed your cup in front of you she told you "It's Earl Grey. The perfect tea for reading!" She smiled shyly and went to her desk to sit down. She then took a small bite out of the cupcake and let out an adorable happy sound.

Seeing Yuri take a bite out of her cupcake caused the others to follow suite. Each one of them smiling happily as they ate Natsuki's masterpiece. You picked up the cupcake and examined it. Such an adorable creation shouldn't be eaten. Natsuki looks at you curiously as she saw you looking at her cupcakes. Figuring it better to eat the cupcake, you apologized to the kitten cupcake and took a bite into it. Your eyes opened wide as you experienced the pure sweetness of the vanilla frosting, and the moist chocolate flavored cake. You swallowed your bite and smiled widely. "Wow Natsuki! These cupcakes are fantastic! I wish I could bake like this!" You complemented her.

Natsuki darts her eyes away from you but then smiles. "Well of course they're fantastic! I am the best baker in this club after all! No one can beat me!" She said proudly, happy to see that everyone is enjoying her creation,

The rest of the club continued to eat their snack and drink the tea. Once everyone was done Monika looked over to you and asked. "So (Y/N)? What books have you been reading lately?"

You pondered the question for a moment and found out that the only thing you've been reading was manga. "Well… I'm not sure if you'll consider this a book but I've mostly been reading manga." You shyly replied. Natsuki perked up when she heard manga and looked at you in curiosity.

Monika smiled and reassured you. "Don't worry! As long as it has words and tells some kind of story it's good enough for me! So no need to be embarrassed about that." Monika patted your back, causing you to blush heavily. This didn't go unnoticed by Sayori who giggled silently to herself. Monika decided to ask you another question. "So what made you want to join the literature club?"

You were afraid that this question was going to come up. It would be rude to say that Sayori dragged you here, but then again you had agreed to visit her club this morning. "Well… I decided that I should find a club to join for my final year in school and decided to join Sayori's club, since she seemed to enjoy it a lot, I thought I would enjoy it as well!" You smiled telling Monika the somewhat truth.

"There's no need to feel nervous! We'll make sure you feel right at home, okay?" Monika told you sweetly, with that adorable smile on her face. "It is my duty as the president of the club to make sure that everyone has fun in this club!"

Seeing Monika's passion for her club caused you to ask her a question. "You know you could be a board member for any of the other clubs, yet why did you decide to start your own club? In fact, weren't you a part of the debate club last year?"

"Yes, I was, but ahaha the politics surrounding the major clubs caused me to shy away from them, so I decided to just start my own club with something I enjoyed and make it special for everyone! Literature! I told my idea to Sayori, who loved the idea and together we started the Literature Club! Eventually we found Natsuki and Yuri and with four members we were officially recognized as a club to the school! My dream is to get others into literature so that people can know how enjoyable a book is!" She answered professionally, sounding like the president that she is.

"Monika is an amazing leader!" Sayori commented, followed by Yuri and Natsuki nodding their heads in agreement.

"I'm glad, although it must be hard to start a new club from scratch. Especially for literature." You commented.

"You can put it like that. Not a lot of people have the determination to start from something new, especially something that doesn't grab your attention like literature. It's hard work trying to convince people to join your club and get them to have fun. But all the smiles and happiness pay off in the end. I'm super confident in my ability to grow this club before we graduate!" Monika stated, her voice strong and full of passion, yet at the same time being sweet and gentle.

"Yep this club will be full before we know it!" Sayori exclaimed excitedly.

"Yes it will!" Yuri enthusiastically proclaimed in her gentle voice.

"You bet it will!" Natsuki proudly exclaimed!

These girls were enthusiastic about their passion for reading. You're not sure if you'll be able to keep up with them, especially when it comes to literature. But you figured that you might as well try, you'd hate to disappoint these girls, especially Monika.

After some time passed you decided to ask the club a question. "So what are your favorite genre of books?"

Yuri was the first to answer as she said "Well I do enjoy horror quite a bit. It's just something about how it challenges the reader to perceive about what is real and what isn't. How it also challenges the reader to think about the story and the events going on inside it. You can never guess what's coming next!" She smiles sweetly, loving the chance to get to explain her favorite genre.

Natsuki crosses her arms and looks away from Yuri. "I don't really like horror that much to be honest."

Yuri, a bit sadden by this revelation, asks "Oh? Why's that?"

"Well it's something about… well" Natsuki looks at you then looks away quickly, embarrassed to say anything.

"Oh you like to write cute things more isn't that why Natsuki?" Monika asked.

The pink haired girls face turns red with anger "What!? I don't…! What makes you think that I do!?" She yelled.

Monika smiles as she holds up a piece of paper. "It's probably because you left this cute little poem behind last meeting!"

"W…What?! How'd you get that! Give that to me!" Natsuki yelled as she grabbed the piece of paper from Monika's hand as fast as lightning and put it into her backpack.

Sayori let's out a sad sound, drawing attention to her. "Aww I would have loved to have read that poem. Hey Yuri?! I know you write poems! How about I read one of yours?" Sayori smiled as she looked towards Yuri.

Yuri blushed heavily as she turned away from Sayori's face embarrassed. "N…no! I… I'm not any good!" She tried hiding her face behind her hands.

You frowned, sad to see that these poems won't be shared. "You girls should share your poems. I would be very interested in hearing them! I think your poems would be very cute Natsuki!" You commented trying to get them to tell their poems.

Natsuki looked at you, anger on her face as she pushed on your chest with her finger. "Hey! I'm not cute! So don't get the wrong idea bub!"

"But I didn't say that you're…"

"Don't call me cute!" She interrupted as her hands balled up in anger.

Monika brought her finger to her chin thinking about something. "Hey! That gives me a good idea! In order to get comfortable with our writing, why not we write poems for every meeting and share them with each other! It could teach us how to be better writers, okay?" Monika smiled as she told the club her wonderful idea.

Natsuki and Yuri looked away, nervous about the idea. Sayori smiled brightly and excitedly proclaimed. "YEAH! LET'S DO IT!"

This caused the other girls to look at each other and before long Natsuki sighed. "Sure… why not? Perhaps my poems could get me famous some day!"

Yuri still didn't seem sure so Monika decided to try to convince her by saying, "Plus it'll help us get to bound with our new member? Isn't that right (Y/N)?"

Monika smiles warmly at you, causing you to think about your response carefully. You're not the best poet but perhaps you could get better and maybe you'll even impress Monika? "Sure that sounds like a wonderful idea!" You agreed.

Yuri looked at you with a shy smile and said "Well if everyone else is doing it, I might as well give it a try… who knows… maybe I could learn something new."

Monika, pleased with the results, rose her finger in the air and announced "Okay everyone! Since we're all in agreement, I want you to write a poem for the next club meeting tomorrow, where we shall share it with everyone and review it, okay?" Monika smiled. Everyone nodded their heads in agreement. Monika smiles happily "Well with that, I think we can conclude todays club meeting! Remember to write a poem for tomorrow everyone! Make sure to help clean up and you're free to go!"

Everyone started to do their share of cleaning up the classroom. You decided to move the desks back to their proper position. After you were done, Sayori approaches you and asks with a bright smile on her face "Do you want to walk home with me?"

"I'd love too!" You responded happily as the two of you started to exit out of the classroom.

However before the two of you had the chance to leave, Monika stopped the both of you "Hey (Y/N)? Are you planning on coming back tomorrow?" She asked.

"Unless I forget to write a poem, I plan to ahaha." You chuckle causing Monika and Sayori to giggle a bit.

Monika smiles sweetly, causing you to blush "I'm glad! Well I'll see the both of you tomorrow!" She waved the two of you off as you walked out of the classroom and out of the school.

Halfway back to your homes, Sayori nudges you with her elbow and tells you "Don't think I didn't notice how you were looking at Monika back there. Or how you blushed every time she touched you."

You blushed heavily and looked away from Sayori's smug grin "I have no idea what you're talking about!" You rebuked trying to protect your pride.

Sayori's smug only grew as she pushed you with her elbow with a bit more force. "You're acting like Natsuki! You totally have a crush on her!" Sayori laughed as she pointed her finger at you.

"D…do not!"

"(Y/N) and Monika sitting in a tree K.I.S.S.I.N.G!" Sayori sung, enjoying this moment to tease you after all the teasing you've done to her.

"S…stop it!" you stammered, trying to get her to quiet down.

"Hey, you've always teased me for the things I do and now I have this perfect opportunity to get some sweet, tasty revenge! Mmmm revenge…" Sayori drooled as her mind went to food. "I wonder if revenge tastes like a cinnamon roll." She pondered out loud.

"Ugh… you're just gonna keep on teasing me right?" You groaned, knowing that there's no escape from this.

"Yep! But don't worry. I won't tell anyone about your crush! I'm not that mean!" Sayori beamed as she approached the gate to her house. "Well I'll see you tomorrow! Don't forget about the poem!"

"Trust me, I won't. Have a nice night!" You waved back as you saw her walk inside her house before heading back to your own house. Once you entered your house you changed into some casual clothes. Heading up to your room, you took out a piece of paper and sat down at your desk. "Alright time to write a poem that will impress Monika!" You declared, determined to write the best poem ever.

It took a few hours, and many different pieces of paper, but you finally wrote a poem that you're sure Monika would love. After putting the paper in your backpack, you changed into your pajamas and went to bed. You have a big day tomorrow. It's your first real chance to impress Monika and you're not going to let it go to waste.
