Author's Note:

I really appreciate you taking the time to read this, but I'll try to keep it short. I haven't written any kinds of stories in a long time; this being the first in several years, so it will probably be a bit messy until I get back into the flow of things. This story is based around the events of Doki Doki Literature Club, so if you haven't played it, you should. The events that will occur start around the second in-game day, and diverge from the original story from there. For now, that's all. Thanks to Dan Salvato for making the incredible game, and all characters and story elements based around it.

SOMETHING MORE
Chapter 1 – Part 1
The Main Character's POV

I've only been in the club for less than a day, but I already think I'm going to really like my time here. Natsuki seemed really irritated about me, though. I wonder if she expected Sayori to bring in another girl? Regardless, I hope she'll wind up being a little less annoyed by me; she seems really nice, despite her otherwise assertive personality.
"Whatever you're thinking about must be pretty heavy, huh?"
I must have completely spaced out, Sayori starts talking to me, but I never noticed her walk up to me. She almost startled me.
"What's up, Sayori? Sorry, I was spacing out."
"No big deal, but um..." She tries to think of something to say, "Well... I was getting kind of hungry. Would you like to come with me to get a snack?"
"No thanks." I know something's up here.
"Eh? Why not?" Sayori looks at me with dejected eyes.
"I have my reasons. Let's take a look at your purse, Sayori." I know this is probably a bit much, but I feel like she needs it.

Before long, I have her pouring out the contents of her coin purse to reveal she didn't have any money. Sayori then tries to get Yuri to lend her money.
"P-please, don't get me involved..." Yuri tries to bury herself back into her book. "B-besides you should only really buy what you can responsibly afford. And frankly after trying to do something mischievous like that, your suffering is fair enough retribution." After finishing her thought, Yuri realizes what she said. "I'm sorry! I-I didn't m-mean that!" I'm almost offended for Sayori. Yuri started getting even more red. Both me and Yuri are caught off-guard when Sayori starts to laugh.
"I really like it when you speak your mind, Yuri! It doesn't happen much, but when it's a fun side of you!"
"That's... There's no possible way you could think that, Sayori."
"You were right, though. I did something bad, now I have to accept the revelation."
"R-retribution.." Yuri tries to correct Sayori.
"That!"
"S-still, coming from you, Sayori. I guess there's a little devil in us all, though. Isn't there?" Yuri states as Sayori giggles again.
"Don't let her fool you," I interject "Sayori knows exactly what she's doing. After all, she told you all she was bringing me to the club, even before she told me I was coming to the club."
"But!" Sayori said, clearly flustered. "You wouldn't have even come if it wasn't for the cupcakes, so I had to trick Natsuki into making them!" It's like she almost wants us to think she's a criminal genius or something. I go to add more, but out of nowhere, something hits Sayori in the face.
"Sayori! Are you okay? What was that?" I look down to see a giant cookie wrapped in plastic land on the desk.
"I-is that?... A cookie!" Sayori gets up and hugs the cookie. "It's a miracle! It's because I paid my restitution!"
"Retribution." This time, it's me correcting Sayori.
"Actually, that one almost worked." Yuri adds just as Natsuki comes into the classroom laughing to herself.
"I was just gonna give it to you," Natsuki finally speaks in-between her laughing, "But after you blabbed about the cupcakes, I thought it would totally be worth seeing your reaction."
"Natsuki!" Both Yuri and I think Sayori is about to get upset with Natsuki for doing that, "That's!.. So nice of you! Thank you so much!" She once again, hugs the cookie before tearing off the plastic and stuffing it in her mouth.
"Sheesh, slow down, Sayori, or you'll wind up-" Just as I was about to say it.
"Ouch!" She clasps her hand around her mouth, "I bit my tongue.." After hearing that, Natsuki again starts laughing.
"Lot of effort for just one cookie, huh?" Natsuki starts to unwrap her own cookie.
"That's.. a really nice cookie, Natsuki." I swear I can practically see her drooling over Natsuki's cookie.
"Don't even think about it." She knows exactly what Sayori was about to ask.
"I wasn't going to ask anything! I'm just really happy you shared this one with me!" Sayori gets out of her seat and gives Natsuki a hug.
"Jeez, you don't need to get like this, it's just a stupid cookie..." Natsuki goes to push Sayori off her back, and I can see the smirk on Sayori's face as she leans over and takes a bite out of Natsuki's cookie, laughs, then runs off.
"Thank you Natsuki!" Sayori says before she runs away to safety.
"D-did she seriously just?" Natsuki tries to figure out what just happened. "That little!..." I restrain myself from retorting with 'look who's talking, Natsuki.' because I know that probably won't end well for me. Before much longer, Monika walks in.
"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry guys!" It didn't actually occur to me that she wasn't here until just now. "I was in study hall last period and totally lost track of time."
"Actually, I was just thinking about where you were at." I say to her as she puts her bag on one of the desks, almost spilling what looks like a bunch of sheet music on the floor.
"I've just been really busy today, I'm so sorry I'm late!"
"Hey, don't worry about it. We're all late sometimes." I try to make her feel a little better for being late.
"I'm glad you think that, Shin. That was nice of you to say." She gives me a large, warm smile before standing in the front of the room. "Alright everyone, now that we're all here, let's get to sharing our poems!" I'm almost worried about something like yesterday happening again, but after a few minutes, everyone has shared their poems, and everything goes smoothly.
"Shin! I wanted to talk to you in a few minutes. Would you mind?" Monika asks me just after I finish talking to Sayori about her poem.
"Of course not."

As everyone is getting their things together about to leave, Monika comes up to me.
"Hey, I was actually needing help setting up some things for the festival on Monday, would you and Sayori mind giving me a little help?"
"I'm fine with that, but actually, let me go get Sayori so we can talk about when-" I look around the room, and realize that Sayori has already left.
"What is it?" Monika asks me, "Is something wrong?"
"No, no, it's just that Sayori's already left. Usually she'd at least say something before she left..." I've been feeling worried about Sayori recently. Ever since I joined the club yesterday, I've been feeling strange myself. Headaches, really weird dreams, and I've been waking up a lot in the middle of the night. I'm worried Sayori may be dealing with something similar.
"Don't worry too much, I've been dea-" Monika stops herself. "I mean... I'm sure she's fine, it's good that you're worried about her, though!"
"What were you going to say?" I doubt she's going to tell me, but I thought it would be worth asking.
"It's nothing, don't worry about it right now." She says with a worried expression, "I'll tell you about it later."
"O-okay?.." I know at this point something's up. I don't know what it is, I just know it's something; and it's making me very uneasy. "Anyways... How does Saturday sound?"
"Saturday sounds fine! If Sayori can't make it, that's fine."
"W-wait... Weren't you the one that suggested that Sayori helped us?"
"Alright," Monika seems to be completely ignoring what I just said. "I'll see you Saturday, then!"
"Hold on a second!" I try to chase after her, but she just ignores me, and walks out of the classroom. I try to follow her, but after the door closes, I look around the halls, and she's nowhere to be seen. I'm starting to get a knot in my stomach after that.

After I get home, I decide to check on Sayori. I get out of my school uniform, and call her. She doesn't answer. I then text her, telling her that I'm coming over; we used to do that a lot when we were younger, so I didn't think much of it. I walk out of the house, then I make my way to Sayori's door. I knock, and then enter. She's nowhere in the living room. I get a horrible sense of Déjà vu, then I suddenly feel like throwing up. I rush up to Sayori's room, and knock on the door.
"S-Sayori?..." I nervously call through the door. I don't hear anything. "Sayori, I'm worried about you. I'll give you a minute just in case you're not decent." After about a minute passes, I once again knock on the door. "Sayori, I'm coming in."

I gently open the door.

She's not in here?

Out of nowhere, I hear the door close on the first floor. I get nervous, grab the wooden bat that I see in Sayori's closet, and start to slowly make my way to where I can see into the living room.

I relax once I realize it's just Sayori coming home; but I then start getting nervous again once I realize she's going to find me in her house by myself. I hope she doesn't think I'm trying to be creepy by doing this.
"There you are, Sayori!" I exclaim to her; but in doing so, I scare her and make scream, then she stumbles to the floor.
"Shin!" Sayori starts to get back on her feet. "You really scared me! Don't ever do that again! Why were you in my house?"
"I-I'm sorry, Sayori. I thought you were home, and after you left without saying anything yesterday, I got really worried about you. So, I came to check on you."
"O-Oh... I see." Sayori pulls out her phone and looks at it for a minute. "Oh, yeah, I'm sorry, I didn't notice you texted me."
"Don't be, I should be the sorry one here. I shouldn't have barged into your home like I did."
"It's fine." Sayori starts to hide a bag she's been carrying behind her back. "I just... Didn't really feel good, so I just came home." I can tell she's lying about something.
"What's in the bag, Sayori?" She starts to blush a little bit.
"I-it's nothing! I just went... To get a few groceries, t-that's all."
"What did you get?"
"Just som-" Sayori was mid-sentence, when all of a sudden, someone knocks on the door.
I quietly whisper to her "Were you expecting someone?"
"...No." Sayori gets visibly nervous, and I'm sure that I am too.
I reach for the bat that I had put down, and slowly make my way to the door. I look out the peephole. I relax and turn to Sayori again.
"It's just Monika."

That's it for now, I know a lot of this was recycled from the base game, and I feel lazy for doing that, but, I just needed somewhere to start; and I figured that was a pretty good place for it. I'm planning on things picking up a lot more in the next segment, so I hope this wasn't a bad opening piece. Feedback is absolutely welcome, so long as you keep it civil and don't go around saying "THIS SUCKS, DO BETTER."
