*BEEP*BEEP*BEEP*

I hate alarm clocks. I don't really want to get out of bed, however there is a good reason for me to get out of bed. Today is Monday and for the first time in a long time i cannot even begin to explain how excited i am to start this day. I look over at the clock to see that the display reads 6:05. Time flies when you're thinking about something. I get out of bed and walk over to the closet and grab my uniform. I shower, get dressed, and have a pack of pop tarts. Oddly enough the kitchen is pretty well stocked. I head out into the cool morning atmosphere. The sun is still low. The morning dew is still on the grass. I don't know why it surprised me, knowing about it in advanced, but i still jumped a little bit when i heard Sayori calling out after me. She's cuter out here than she was in the game. Maybe it's just me being happy to see her in person for the first time. "Wait up, ryals!", she managed to wheeze out before catching her breath.

"Good Morning, Sayori, running late again?" i say already knowing the answer.

"Maybe" she replied sheepishly while touching her fingers together.

"Well, that's okay. I have good news for you anyway."She looked over at me with those big blue eyes and said

"what's that?" I laughed and started walking towards the school,

"i bet i'll tell you before we get there if you come on."She made a face at me and started walking,

"meanie!" she said as i kept chuckling. We walked on like that for a while and by the time we got to the front gate i decided that she had had enough and grabbed her by the shoulders,

"sayori, do you really want to know that badly?" i tease.

"Yesssssss", she shouted. Yep, she's had enough. I leaned over and whispered in her ear,

"Sayori, i have determined that i want to join the literature club." she immediately produced a smile that looked like it had to hurt. Beaming at me she said,

"we're gonna have so much fun!". After that we split off to our classes. These were literally the easiest classes i have ever seen. It makes sense because this is a game and i don't exactly thing team salvato was very concerned with making sure their classes were enriching. I had math that i would guess was around the level of grade 6? I had a gym class. I had a shop class. Thats it, actually. I only had three classes. It was great. After my last class, i left the room to find sayori, because i have literally no idea where the literature club is. She almost ran me over on my way out of the classroom. I guess she was coming to the room to escort me to the club anyway.

"Hi ryals, i didn't think you would be so eager to get to the club room." she said blushing.

"I promised you i would be there didn't i, sayori?" I ask and her blush turns a deeper red on her face and she says,

"you really do care, ryals. Well let's get to the club." She really is adorable, why didn't i play her route the first time around? We head up to the third floor of the school. It's just as empty as it was in the game. Sayori rushed in the door ahead of me and introduced me to the girls before i had a chance to say anything,

"This is the new member i said i would bring today, his name is ryals."Immediately i hear natsuki, true to her nature, say,

"seriously? You brought a boy? Way to kill the atmosphere." i am a little hurt, but she's too tiny and cute to be mad at, so i wait for sayori to introduce us so i don't creepily know her name already.

"This is natsuki, always full of energy" and here's my opening,

"That's okay, but do you know if monika is okay with manga?" her eyes widen a bit and she blushes then she looks away,

"she will let you read it here, but she will give you crap about it." Monika standing a few feet away, not really listening to the conversation nodded as she watched every move i made.

"Good to see you again ryals, it's been a while, hasn't it?" monika said as all the other girls looked confused. Sayori was the first to ask,

"do you two know each other already?" Monika went ahead and told her about the class that we had last year. Even from here those big emerald eyes are the most beautiful things i've ever seen. There will be time to worry about that after the club. If i am going to do this right, i need to pay attention to everybody, so no one gets jealous. That means that i need to pay attention to the tall shy beauty that i haven't addressed yet, but before i could say anything she looked up and said,

" We are glad to have you, Sayori always has wonderful things to say about you." she timidly stated. Well i didn't expect her to speak first but,

"I hear wonderful things about this club all the time from Sayori as well, what's your name there miss?" she blushes and says,

"My name is Yuri, it's wonderful to meet you, ryals." and shes just as eloquent and graceful as i remember,

"You look nervous Yuri, what's that all about?" she then turned red and started playing with her hair,

"oh, i'm fine, don't worry about me" that was the last thing i heard from her today as she retreated back to the book she had been reading when i walked in. Just then i suppose sayori was starting to feel like the club meeting was getting awkward, so she says,

"i'll go get the cupcakes!". Natsuki, as expected, loudly objected saying,

"they're my cupcakes, i'll go get them!" and just like in the game, we had natsuki's magical cupcakes and Yuri's wonderful oolong tea. I had to mention how great they were or it wouldn't be right to eat them,

"natsuki, thanks for these cupcakes, they are the best i have ever had." she turned pink and huffed at me,

"Thanks, but it isn't like i made them for you or anything!" since i already know how this argument ends i don't go on with it and go ahead and thank yuri,

"thanks for the tea yuri, it pairs with these cupcakes a lot better than i would think that it should." She puts on a cute little smile and says,

"thank you ryals, i take a great deal of pride in my tea." The whole time we sit and eat these cupcakes it looks like monika has been eyeing me. I have a feeling i know why. I look at the clock and then look at her, it's almost time for the club to dismiss. She stands up and says,

"Alright everybody, it's almost time to go, but before we leave i want to announce that i have a new project in mind for us all. We are going to start writing poems every night and bringing them in to share the next day. The first day that we share is tomorrow, so good luck tonight everyone. I know that some of us might not be excited to do something like that, but i think it will help us all grow together as a group.

"Natsuki and Yuri were both about to object when they got cut short by sayori,

"that sounds like a great idea monika! I can't wait for tomorrow to read everyone's poems!" that was enough to stop sayori from arguing, but natsuki pressed on,

"You guys are gonna think my poems are stupid!" she shouted and this earned a grin from monika as she said,

"we are all going to do it, because it will give us all a deeper understanding of literature as well as the people that we spend our club time with. That is final." she said with a look on her face that had grown stern.

"Fine!" natsuki huffed, realizing she wasn't getting out of this.

"Alright everybody, club time is over for the day! You can all leave."

"Except our new member"she declared.

Well….i expected as much.
