Chapter 2: More than a illustrator
By the way for Loki's poem its lyrics from a song call "Ghost Town" by Adam Lambert, you guys should listen to that song when its Loki's time to share his poem.
Mammoth93: Thank you for enjoying my story and I will still continue this story.
From that being said enjoy the story!
Loki's POV
Monika: Ok everyone lets share poems!
Loki: Um Monika
Monika: Yes Loki?
Loki: Can I sing my poem?
Loki: I brought my guitar
In the closet at the bottom of the shelf next to some of Natsuki's manga
Monika: Sure, poems are meant to express your emotions you can do anything to express your poem
Loki: Ok thank you
I sat at the corner of the room when we were starting to share poems waiting for someone to go to me cause I was too anxious to confront any of them. The first person to come to me was Monika.
Monika: Who should start?
Loki: I think you, i want to surprise you
Monika: Oh~
Monika: Ok then~
A teenagers dream. Something few deserve,
something most don't get. The word that you think can
change your image, looks, and life.
And then you graduate,
and then you realize,
popularity,tr
is just a title
and means nothing,
In the real world.
Loki: Oh I really like it!
Monika: R-really?
Loki: Yeah!
Loki: It talks about how being popular doesn't matter once you get older
One fact about Monika is, she's really popular in school I usually see her with a lot of people that I used to think were her "friends" but then I started noticing that most of her "friends" were with her just to become popular
which must feels lonely knowing the fact that people don't want to know the true her.
Monika: T-thank you...
Loki: Huh? why?
Monika: For your compliment
Loki: You shouldn't thank me just for saying a nice comment on you
Loki: You're just as much as a person to me ok?
Loki: It doesn't matter how popular you are, I will try to be the best friend you will ever have ok?
While I was saying that I saw Monika looking flustered and was starting to cry, I hugged her as comfort and tried to be as comforting to her as possible and was relieved that non of my club members noticed us at our position at the moment.
Monika: *sniff* I-i'm sorry...
Loki: No need to apologize I know how you feel to be alone...
A couple minutes pass
Loki: Ok, i'll start
I gave her my paper that had the lyrics of the music
Loki: In 5,4,3,2,1, and GO!
Died last night in my dreams Walking the streets
Of some old ghost town I tried to believe In God and
James Dean But Hollywood sold out Saw all of the saints
Lock up the gates I could not enter Walked into the flames
Called out your name But there was no answer And now I
know my heart is a ghost town My heart is a ghost town My heart
is a ghost town My heart is a ghost town Died last night in my dreams
All the machines Had been disconnected Time was thrown at the wind And
all of my friends Had been disaffected Now, I'm searching for trust In
a city of rust A city of vampires Tonight, Elvis is dead And everyone's
spread And love is a satire And now I know my heart is a ghost town
My heart is a ghost town My heart is a ghost town My heart is a ghost
town There's no one left in the world I'm gun slingin' Don't give a fuck
if I go Down, down, down I got a voice in my head that keeps singing
Oh, my heart is a ghost town My heart is a ghost town Oh, my
heart is a ghost town (Said, my heart) My heart
is a ghost town My heart is a ghost town
As I was done singing, in the corner of my Eye I see Monika quietly clapping her hands and her face in awe of what came out of my mouth
Monika: Wow!
Monika: You're such a good singer!
Monika: I can't wait to see the girl's reaction of you singing
I lower my ears and scratching my leg from hearing her say those nice words to me.
Loki: Heh, me too Monika, me too
when we were done with our poems I went to Natsuki to share our poems
Loki: Um Natsuki,is it ok if you go first?
Natsuki: Why?
Loki: B-because uh
Loki: I want see how you do it
Natsuki: So you want to see a pro do it?
Loki: Y-yeah that
Natsuki: Ha! i'll show you who's boss
Monkeys can climb
Crickets can leap
Horses can race
Owls can seek
Cheetahs can run
Eagles can fly
People can try
But that's about it.
Loki: Ay, that's pretty good
Natsuki: Wait, really?
Loki: Yeah, I like how you made it simple is
Natsuki: That's how a pro does it!
Loki: Hehehe yes indeed
Loki: Oh, by the way i'm singing mine if you don't mind
Natsuki: Sure its not gonna be as good as mind though!
While i'm ignoring her comment, I give her my lyrics of my music and take out my guitar and start singing
Died last night in my dreams Walking the streets
Of some old ghost town I tried to believe In God and
James Dean But Hollywood sold out Saw all of the saints
Lock up the gates I could not enter Walked into the flames
Called out your name But there was no answer And now I
know my heart is a ghost town My heart is a ghost town My heart
is a ghost town My heart is a ghost town Died last night in my dreams
All the machines Had been disconnected Time was thrown at the wind And
all of my friends Had been disaffected Now, I'm searching for trust In
a city of rust A city of vampires Tonight, Elvis is dead And everyone's
spread And love is a satire And now I know my heart is a ghost town
My heart is a ghost town My heart is a ghost town My heart is a ghost
town There's no one left in the world I'm gun slingin' Don't give a fuck
if I go Down, down, down I got a voice in my head that keeps singing
Oh, my heart is a ghost town My heart is a ghost town Oh, my
heart is a ghost town (Said, my heart) My heart
is a ghost town My heart is a ghost town
Loki: What do you think
Natsuki: Its good I guess...
Loki: Thanks!
Natsuki: I-its not as bad as I expect
Natsuki: A-and its not like I like it or anything!...dummy...
I guess she isn't the admitting kind of person or open, but that's ok I guess she isn't used talking to other people.
Loki: Yours was pretty good too
I probably said too much because she acted very flustered about what I said
Natsuki: T-thank you...
That was maybe the first time she opened up to me which is still progress to me, even if its just a simple "Thank You". We both went to our next person to share to and it was Sayori, which was as happy as she can be walking up to me.
Sayori: Hi Loki!
Loki: What up
Loki: Can you share first?
Sayori: Of course!
My friend, my only friend
The one that helps me wake up
The one that jokes around with me
The one that sees me as who I am
They treat me like a normal person
They give me warm and welcoming hugs
They are the only friend I love
The only one I see more than a friend
I love them...
Loki: Wow you did a great job!
Sayori: *blushes* Thanks...
Well then... I knew she had some romantic feelings for me, but I didn't expect her to create a poem about it. I think I should play dumb and act like we're normal best friends until she confesses to me because if I just say it out loud its gonna be really awkward if I call her out out of nowhere.
Loki: It feels like two friends were the best of friends but then one of them developed feeling for the other person
Sayori: Y-yeah t-that's right
Loki: Also i'm singing mine so here you go
I once again gave the paper to Sayori and started singing.

Sayori: Wow!
Sayori: I didn't know you sang
Loki:Well you know something new then
Sayori: See? you're more talented than me
Loki: Don't lower yourself just because I can sing and draw
Loki: Plus you also have some talent
Sayori: Oh yeah, like what?
Loki: Making people happy, especially me
Sayori: *blushes* Aw~
Sayori: You're so sweet~
When we were done sharing I went to my last person to share with which was Yuri.
Yuri: H-hi
Loki: Hi, anyways lets share poems
Yuri: R-right...
Loki: Sorry if this is too much
Loki: But can your start first?
Yuri: Sure...
The tendrils of my hair illuminate beneath the amber glow.
Bathing.
It must be this one.
The last remaining streetlight to have withstood the test of time.
the last yet to be replaced by the sickening blue-green hue of the future.
I bathe. Calm; breathing air of the present but living in the past.
The light flickers.
I flicker back.
Loki: Wow!
Loki: You did a good job on this!
Yuri: Thanks...*blushes*
Loki: No need to thank me
Loki: I really like how you made the metaphors
Loki: It really makes you think
Yuri: O-ok I think its your turn to s-share
Loki: Oh yeah!
Loki: By the way, i'm singing my poem
Once again I give her the piece of paper, ready my guitar and start singing.

Yuri: Y-you have a great singing voice
Loki: Oh thank!
Yuri: I think the lyrics are really symbolic
Loki: Oh, its about a man's disconnect to love
I have know idea what i'm saying right now
Yuri: S-so are you going to be singing all of your poems?
Loki: Yeah I am
Loki: Its perfect for me to practice writing my own lyrics
Yuri: That's good to know
While we were done sharing poems, we were ready to go home, but then...
Monika: On, I have an announcement
Monika: We're gonna be performing our poems
Natsuki: No way!
Sayori: Why not Natsuki?
Yuri: I agree with Natsuki
Monika: But we have to do something for the festival
Sayori: I agree with Monika, we should try performing for the festival
Natsuki: Wait!
Natsuki: How about Loki? he should be the tie breaker here!
Loki: I'm with Sayori and Monika in this
Loki: We should try new things out of our boundries
Monika: Than that's 2 to 3 it settles it!
Natsuki: Aw! come on!
Loki: I don't think its that bad
Natsuki: How is it NOT bad!?
Loki: Its ok try new things
Loki: If you guys try it and still don't like it then we can try something else next year ok?
Natsuki: You know wait?
Natsuki: F-fine, but its not because I like you or anything dummy...
Huh... never knew she like me that much wait, if she also likes me romantically and Sayori likes me romantically than what will happen if one of them confesses to me? Don't think about it. It isn't important right now.
Monika: Ok everyone! club dismiss!
Loki: Ay! Sayori are you ready?
Sayori: I'm always ready!
Loki: Fair enough
While we were going home I wanted to talk to her about my absents of her life
Loki: So, Sayori how was everything when I left?
Sayori: I was pretty lonely when you left and thought you would never come back
Sayori: But I wasn't entirely lonely shortly after you left I met Monika
Loki: So that's how you guys created the Literature Club?
Sayori: Pretty much
Loki: At least you have Monika when I wasn't here
Sayori: Yeah, she a great friend
We parted ways to our home and I made some Fettuccine Alfredo and ate dinner with Sayori, then I made my poem, brushed my teeth, and head to bed.
Good Night...
