I wake up my boyfriend, who naps on my shoulder. He looks so cute when he's asleep, I don't want to wake him. But I do.
"Wake up, baby. We're here."
He wakes up and kisses me good morning.
We get off the plane and buy some snacks.
Oh, wait, I'm getting too far.
I'm Sayori Delarosa. You might've heard of me on the news or 4chan (disgusting retard) or maybe , who knows?
You've definitely heard of my boyfriend: Rivers Sanchez.
Anyways, I want to give you a little background about us.
We both struggled with depression, very bad depression. He tried to kill himself 200 times and I, well, on a good day couldn't find any reason to get out of bed.
But, we're both seeing therapists, who I kindly asked (read: threatened) to not give him any drugs, because I don't want him to get addicted again.
We're both happier, and we have each other.
Another thing, we LOVE food.
I think Rivers has broken down and cried when there was no food.
Can't say I haven't either.
We're at the snack machine when I hear Rivers yell, "Hey, check it out!"
I turn around, and I see my friend Natsuki and her boyfriend, Rivers' best friend.
"Evan!" he yells as he runs towards them.
After I got the food, we greet each other.
"We couldn't bear leaving each other for four years. So I decided to tag along." Natsuki told us.
"Oh, and we're not the only ones!" Evan said.
Rivers seemed happy everyone was coming. I was happier with just me and him, but then Yuri and her new boyfriend from that cult in Minnesota, Conrado.
He has a thick Latin accent, but they love each other.
Yuri hasn't done any heroin or read any school shooting books in the past week, which is good.
We wait for Monika, but it's obvious she's not coming.
"She hates the cold." Yuri told me.
We all walk out.
"Dude, let's start a Literature Club in college!" Evan exclaimed.
"Sure!" I told him.
We decided I would be president, and I wanted Rivers to be Vice President. Call me biased.
We take three Ubers to the college.
I guess the whole orientation shit is happening.
I go into the stadium and sit down.
They're announcing random rules and policies and what not.
I try to stay awake and alert so I don't look like an ignorant fuck, but Rivers is already passed out in his seat.
Then we all grab papers that tells us where our room is.
Conveniently, I got placed with Rivers.
"Sweet!" Rivers cheered.
Natsuki and Evan also got put together, but Yuri and Conrado got separated, by two dorms.
I heard in college, you have to live with one other person. If you're going out with the person you're living with, well, that's the best you could have.
I look at Rivers.
And maybe there'll be a better reason tonight..., I thought.
I push that thought out of my mind.
The dorms are in two buildings.
Me, Rivers, Natsuki, and Evan walk over to that building.
"Is this it? 419?" Rivers asked.
We found 419 and went in.
It was a nice small room with two beds and a kitchen and a bathroom. I looked out the window. It had a nice view of the bay.
Rivers kisses me and lays down on his bed.
He checks the fridge.
He starts hyperventilating.
"No food..." Rivers muttered.
"We ate at the airport." I told him.
He calmed down and unpacked the stuff he brought.
He opened the door.
"Hey, check it out!" he told me.
The same bass and guitar from when we did our theme songs in the last book. I grabbed my bass and started playing with it.
He grabbed his guitar and we played a song.
Then he went back and set up some posters he brought. He had one of Americana, an album by this band called The Offspring. He had another one of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, this band from Los Angeles.
Honestly, me and him have different tastes in music. He likes punk rock, and I'm more into reggae.
Have you ever heard of Sublime? It's a band we both like, since they mix reggae and punk rock. Good music.
We close the door and make out for a bit. It's our new home, let's celebrate.
We stop when we hear a knock on the door.
"Hey, Sayori! Wanna go out to eat?" Natsuki asked.
We open the door and go.
I was wearing a white shirt and a blue skirt and some Converse, my favorite outfit. Rivers was wearing sweatpants and a blue T-shirt.
We were walking along, when some guy walked up to Rivers.
"Hey, what's up, beaner?" this white guy said.
He just kept walking.
"What, you and the chink girl can't speak English?"
He steps closer to Rivers.
"Get the fuck away, man, or you'll be fucking sorry," Rivers whispered, keeping his head down.
"Sorry about what?" the guy scoffed. Rivers lashed out and socked him in the face, knocking him over.
He grabbed his throat and held it tight.
Normally, I hate it when Rivers fights, but he straight-up called me a chink, so I wasn't complaining.
He started to turn purple. I jumped in and punched him in the face. I'll be the bundle of sunshine, fine, but I'll still knock a guy the fuck out.
His eyes shut and Rivers let him go.
We caught up with Natsuki and Evan and went to Taco Bell.
We sat down and ate. We all talked, about how excited we were, how fun this will all be.
Rivers was bubbling, I've never seen him so happy. I guess this was his dream.
He would always read books about Alaska, and I always thought he just thought it was fun. But, this was all his dream.
I think about that game. Doki Doki Literature Club. Rivers was supposed to choose any of us, and he chose me.
That's why I love him.
Sorry if I get too heartfelt.
We eat burritos and chalupas and walk around. We see the mountains, the bay. I hold Rivers's hand and keep it there.
Eventually, we wrap up and go home.
We meet a few people. I met this girl named Holly and this guy named Buddy. I guess they were really good friends, and they invited us to this small house party in one of the rooms.
I'm not really a party girl. Rivers loves a good party, (if you're wondering, because free food), but he's too tired and stuffed for a party.
We go in our house and I wash up, change into sleeping clothes. By the time I'm out, Rivers is out cold. I kiss him, like I do a lot, on the cheek.
"Good night."
I lay down and just pass out.
Good night.
