You walked out of your house, piece of toast in your hand, starting your trek to school. You stopped by Sayori's house so the two of you can walk to school together. After a minute you take a bite out of your toast and knocked on her front door. You could hear scrambling coming from the inside as a light voice echoed. "Come on in!" You opened the door to see Sayori scrambling to make toast, one arm in her blazer, the other trying to find the sleeve to put it on. Like always her hair was a mess but you figured to let it slide since she's able to make it work. Once Sayori puts on her blazer and scarfed down her toast, she ran up to you, almost knocking you down and excitedly asked. "Well are you ready to go?"

"I've been ready since I left my house Sayori, you really need to start waking up on time. You're not staying up, late are you?" You asked in a mix of teasing and concern.

Sayori looked at you, almost insulted. "Why of course I'm not! If anyone is to be staying up late, it would be you! With your video games and anime and all that jazz!" Sayori pouted as the two of you walked out of the house and on to the street. You finished your piece of toast and Sayori looks at you with a smirk. "Sooo…. Loverboy… are you gonna come back to the club today!" She asked hoping to get some kind of reaction out of you with the nick name.

You blushed heavily and tried to shrug it off. "Well… of course I am! I took the commitment to write a poem for the club, so I might as well come back and share it to everyone!" You tried to explain.

Sayori's smirk only grew as she opened her mouth to speak. "You mean share it with just Monika! Huh? Hehehe!" Sayori's innocent laugh caused you to blush even harder. You failed to come up with a response, so you continued to walk in silence. Sayori broke the silence and started talking to you about a variety of things, mostly childhood memories. The two of you continued to talk until you arrived at school, in which the two of you waved goodbye and went your separate ways.

The school day was long and boring, most likely because you were waiting to get to the club room and share your poem with Monika, as well as everyone else. Once that final bell rang, you grabbed your back pack and rushed up the stairs to go to the club room. Upon entering the clubroom, you saw that everyone was there already. Monika notices you entering, smiles sweetly and says "Oh there you are (Y/N)! Seeing that you're here, you must have written the poem huh? Ahaha." Monika remembered the little joke you told her yesterday made you smile a bit as well as blush.

"Yeah I figured that I should show up and share my poem. But I don't think it's the best." You replied scratching the back of your head.

"Oh, don't worry (Y/N)! We don't judge here, besides I'm certain that yours is perfect!" Monika smiled. Just her cute little smile and shining emerald eyes are enough to put you at ease.

Yuri stands up to greet you and smiles sweetly. "I'm glad to see that you came back. I know you're not into literature that much but, I'm glad you're willing to put up with it and hang out with friends!"

"Oh please, stop giving him so much credit. He probably only wants to come here to hang out with girls and get lucky! If that's the case don't expect us to be any easy catches!" Natsuki smirked as she told you her opinion with legs laying on top of the desk she was sitting at.

Yuri only looked at Natsuki in disappointment and tried to explain to her "Natsuki, please have more faith in him. If you keep on saying that to every person that comes through that door, we'll never get any new members."

Monika smiles and tells her "That's awfully big talk coming from someone who keeps their manga collection in the closet!"

Sayori put her hand over her mouth in a fake gasp as she yelled "OH SNAP!"

Natsuki's face is as red as a tomato "M…m… MONIKA! MANGA IS LITERTURE!" She snaps as she storms off to the closet. The rest of the girls let out a few soft giggles as Yuri went to her desk to read her book while Sayori was messing around with her uniform.

You noticed Monika was doing something with her hands, holding them out in the air and moving each finger gently and quickly. Curious, you decide to walk up to her and asked her "Hey Monika! What are you doing?"

Monika looks up at you and smiles, responding "Oh nothing much! I'm just doing some hand exercises!"

"Hand exercises? What for?"

"Well I'm learning how to play piano, so I'm trying to train my hands so that they are able to move across the keyboard quickly yet gently." She explained as she continued the motions while talking to you.

The fact Monika plays piano surprised you. You thought she already knew how to play piano. "Huh interesting. Perhaps you can play a song for me sometime?" You asked.

"Hehe well… I'm not that good yet… but once I'm good enough I'll make sure to play a song for you!" She smiles with a tint of red on her cheeks, just barley noticeable.

Monika continues her exercises before a thought popped into your head. You've always wanted to play the piano so perhaps Monika can help teach you how to play. "Hey Monika… do you mind if you teach me how to do these hand exercises? I've always wanted to play piano and perhaps you can teach me someday!" You smiled to her asking her of a simple request.

Monika smiles sweetly in your direction. "Of course! Here let me grab your hands." She replied as she went in front of you, grabbing your hands with her own, causing you to blush slightly. "Now you want to make sure you cup your hands like this." She explained as she cupped your hands in the way they needed to be. "Now pretend that my fingers are the keys of a piano. Use your right hand and "play" a simple scale for me. Make sure you use each finger for the scale." You nodded in understanding as you moved each finger on top of her fingers, pretending to play piano. However, when you got to the fourth finger, Monika stopped you. "You actually want to press that with your thumb."

"Oh? Why's that?" You asked curious to her reason.

"Well it's because so you won't have to move your hand as much. Here let me see your hand." She said as you gave her your right hand. She moved your fingers like you were playing that piano. "You see if you're to play the first five notes, having each of your finger pressing on it's respective note, when you get to the sixth note, you'll have to stretch your pinkie out or move your hand which can cause an unnatural break in the music to happen." She demonstrated with your hand, moving each finger as how she explained it. "If you're to press the first three notes with your first three fingers, then press the fourth note with your thumb, you'll be able to use the rest of your fingers for the scale with no problem!" She explained as she moved your fingers in the proper way of doing a scale. She let go of your hand and held out her fingers. "Now you try what I showed you!"

You did what Monika showed you, making sure you press her fourth finger with your thumb as you moved your hand up and down the row of fingers. You started to pick up speed, getting into the rhythm of it. "Hey! I think I'm getting the hang of this!" You proclaimed, happy to see that you're learning something new and exciting.

Monika smiles at you, proud of your accomplishment. "I'm proud of you (Y/N)! I know my fingers don't make for the best keyboard but perhaps someday I can teach you more! We can learn the piano together! Although you'll probably be able to surpass me pretty quickly…" Monika laughs to herself.

"I highly doubt that, just from what you told me about the hand movement shows how good you are already! I know you'll perfect playing the piano in no time!" You told her as you patted her back without thinking. Once you realized what you were doing you drew your arm back as fast as lightning and blushed heavily. "I'm… sorry… I didn't know what I was doing…"

Monika looked at you in confusion and giggled "Oh don't be sorry about that, we're friends after all? But thank you for your confidence boost! Now I feel like I can do anything!" She exclaimed, hands on her hips, making a superhero pose. She put her hands down to her sides, giggling a bit at her little moment. Once she was done, she clapped her hands to gather everyone's attention. "Okay everyone! I think it's time for us to share our poems! So, go grab your poems and find someone to share it with!" She announced.

You went to your back pack and took out your poem. You read it over quickly, making sure that it was perfect. You decided to share your poem with Monika first, after all you did write it to impress her. Perhaps she can give you some pointers too! "Hey Monika! Here's my… ummm… poem!" You told her as you gave her the piece of paper.

Monika smiled and said, "Thank you!" then begun to read it. Her eyes moving across the paper, like it was an important letter. You noticed her eyebrows rise and a smile emerge on her face. She handed the paper back to you, with a huge smile on her face. "I really enjoyed that poem (Y/N)! Like really really enjoyed that! The way you wrote it, the hidden meaning behind it, the realism, and the words you chose really spoke out to me!" She complimented causing you to blush.

You shrunk down a little, embarrassed by her compliments yet at the same time happy that she enjoyed it. "Aww thank you Monika! You're making me blush…"

"Seems like making you blush is an easy thing to do, huh? Ahaha" She teased only causing you to blush even more. "But seriously, I really did enjoy it! I hope to see more poems like this from you in the future!" She smiled. She then handed you her poem. "Here read mine and tell me what you think!"

You took the poem and read it, it was beautifully constructed, and you could hear Monika's voice reading it inside your head. It was a bit sadder then you thought it would be but still you enjoyed it a lot. You gave the poem back to her, with a smile and told her "That's really good Monika! I could hear you reading it inside my head because it definitely sounds like something you would say!"

"Aww thank you (Y/N) that really means a lot! Writing style is important you know! It helps distinguish each writer and can provide an entertaining view on the same subject! It also reflects the personality of the author and how they view a certain subject!" She smiled, blushing a little explaining how important writing styles are.

"I swear Monika… you'd make a perfect teacher! Considering how well you're able to explain both piano and writing to even someone as simple minded as me!" You complimented her. Her easy and simple explanations are only making you dig deeper into this crush as you realize that you're absolutely smitten with her.

Monika blushes and folded her arms behind her back, swaying back and forth on the heels of her feet. "Aww, I've always wanted to be a teacher ever since I was little! Just hearing you say that made my day so thank you (Y/N)! Now go share your poems with the rest of the girls!"

You did just that. You went to Natsuki who liked it but thought it wasn't cute enough but then decided it that it still got it's point across. Yuri liked your poem as well but thought it could use more imagery and the meaning shouldn't be as obvious, but that was her opinion though. Finally, you went to Sayori, who read the poem quickly. "AHA! I knew you were trying to impress Monika! This type of writing is something she loves!" She exclaimed when she was done reading it.

You put your arms up, trying to quiet her down, hoping that no one heard what she said. "Jesus not so loud… and so what. She liked it and that's all that matters." You bragged, trying not to let Sayori's teasing get to you.

Sayori smiled sweetly and handed you her poem. "Here's my poem! Hopefully you'll like it!" Sayori grinned as you read the poem.

Just by looking at the handwriting alone, you can tell that this was rushed, it was still a good poem and very Sayori but she must have forgotten to write the poem last night. "Let me guess, you forgot to write your poem last night?" You asked her.

"EH?! How could you tell?" Sayori gasped in surprise.

"Well the handwriting isn't as clean as it usually is, and you mentioned that you're hungry at the end. You must have written it this morning. Don't get me wrong though, it is still a good poem and it's very… you to say the least." You complemented as you handed the poem back to her.

Sayori smiled shyly and tapped her fingers together. "Ehehe well at least you enjoyed it so I'm glad. I won't forget to do it ton-"

Before Sayori could finish her sentence Natsuki cut her off while she was talking to Yuri. "Cute?! Did you completely miss the symbolism in it?! It's about giving up! How can that be cute?" Natsuki scolded.

Yuri was playing with a strand of her hair, clearly uncomfortable with this situation "I'm sorry… it's just… I meant that the language was cute… I guess… I was just trying to say something nice…" Yuri stumbled, trying to correct this situation before it got out of hand.

"Trying to say something nice?! You didn't even try at all! So thanks… but your "compliment" didn't come out as nice at all!" Natsuki sneered, crossing her arms as the anger could be seen rising to the top of her face.

"Well… I have a few suggestions that could make it better…" Yuri smiled shyly trying to help Natsuki as well as get her way out of this argument before it could get any worse.

"Hmph! If I was looking for suggestions I would ask them from someone who clearly liked it! WHICH, people did! Sayori, and (Y/N) liked it! So, why not let me give YOU some suggestions!" Natsuki boasted trying to prove that her poem is as good as it is.

Yuri's shy smile disappeared as a face of disappointment replaced it. "Excuse me… I have perfected my writing style in a way so that it reflects who I am as a person, so I appreciate the offer, but I highly doubt that my style will change unless I come across something inspiring." Yuri told Natsuki, who looked like she was about to burst a blood vessel. Then a smirk came across Yuri's face. "Oh by the way… (Y/N) liked my poem too! He told me how impressed he was by it!"

This statement caused Natsuki to smirk and stand up. "Oh! I had no idea you were trying so hard to impress our new member Yuri!"

Yuri was caught off guard by this remark as she stumbled around to find the words to say "Well maybe you're just jealous that (Y/N) appreciated my advice more!"

"And what makes you think he does! Are you so full of yourself that you think any advice you give is good advice!"

"No… If I was full of myself I would go out of my way to make everything I touch cutesy and full of rainbows!"

Sayori tried to step in to stop this conflict from evolving any further. "Hehe maybe we should stop this, girls… I'm pretty sure- "

Natsuki, not paying any attention to what Sayori was trying to say declared "Oh! Well at least my boobs didn't grow a size bigger when (Y/N) started showing up!"

This statement caused Yuri to blush profusely as she stumbled upon her words. Monika realizing that this situation is getting out of hand decided to take her turn to step in. "Umm Natsuki… don't you think that was a bit-"

"THIS DOESN'T CONCERN YOU!" Yuri and Natsuki yelled at Monika, who put her hands up and slunk back to her original spot.

Sayori looked like she was about to cry "Please guys I don't like fighting so please stop!" She pleaded, but only for her words to fall on deaf ears.

Yuri and Natsuki turned towards you realizing that you're there. "Oh (Y/N) … it's not… she's just trying to make me look bad!" Yuri stuttered out trying to defend herself.

"Oh, that is so not true! You're the one that started it! If you only knew how to appreciate that simple is good and more effective this wouldn't be happening. The meaning of the poems should jump out at you! Not take rocket science to figure out. Help me explain that to her (Y/N)!" Natsuki rambled trying to defend her point.

"W-wait! There's a reason why we have so many deep and reflective words in our vocabulary… there are so many words that can describe the complex feelings, that we, as humans, have. Not using them would hurt your writing and be a waste! You understand what I'm saying… right (Y/N)?" Yuri asked towards you, passion in her voice.

"Ummmmm Well… I…" You stumbled, having a hard time trying to agree with someone. You hardly knew a thing about writing, but yet these two girls are treating you like you're the genius. You look to Monika trying to see if she can help but she has her head in her hands, seems like there are situations that not even she can handle. You looked over to Sayori and saw how close to tears she was. "Don't you two see that your fighting is making Sayori uncomfortable?" You pointed out. Sayori looks at you with a smile on her face.

Natsuki looked dissatisfied with what you were saying. "She has nothing to do with this! It's her problem that this is making her uncomfortable."

Yuri nods in agreement. "Yes, it is, interjecting your feelings on to someone else is simply rude."

Your plan at trying to get them to stop failed as they only continued to argue even more. Monika finally decided to try to take action one more time as she stood up and separated the two girls. "Listen girls… this is the literature club, we're here to read poems, learn about each other's writing style, and have fun with friends. It's ok if we have different opinions, that's what makes us human!"

This only caused the girls to stop arguing for a moment before Natsuki said underneath her breath "Tell that to Miss gloom and doom over there."

Yuri heard this however and interjected. "Tell that to me?! You're the one that's having a hard time accepting an opinion!" And the argument started over again.

Monika, seeing how she could do nothing, went back to her desk, defeated and threw her head into her hands, hoping that this will end soon. Sayori, after wiping her eyes decided that enough was enough. "THAT'S IT!" Sayori's outburst stunned everyone in the room, you included. "We're friends here! I don't like seeing my friends fight! We shouldn't argue over something stupid like simplicity in poems! Natsuki's poems are amazing for how many emotions it can give off with very few words, while Yuri's poems are amazing because of the beautiful images it paints in your head. So please stop fighting. In fact, why not you two try to write a poem about the same subject tomorrow! Like write about the beach! Perhaps that can help you two understand each other more!" Sayori preached like the vice president she was. She was always an expert at stopping conflict and this is no different. Monika looked at Sayori with a bewildered look on her face.

Natsuki and Yuri looked at eachother, nodded and hugged. "I'm sorry for how I was acting back there. I should have been respectful of your opinion." Natsuki apologized.

Yuri soon followed suite. "I'm sorry too for not understanding that simple can be better." After both girls said their apologies they broke the hug. "I'll go make some tea." She said as she rushed off to get the tea set. Natsuki decided to go sit in her desk and messed around with her ribbon tie.

You looked over at Monika and whispered to her. "Now I see why Sayori is vice president…"

Monika nods back. "To be honest… I may be good at planning and organizing, which makes me come off as a good leader but… I'm not very good with people… it's something that I've always struggled with… when I tried to interject nothing I said worked for them. Being the president… this is very embarrassing. A perfect president would have been able to dismiss this situation before it even started, ahaha." Monika told you, trying to laugh off her problems.

"I don't blame you though Monika… I was unable to say anything either… to be honest I'm a bit awkward in these situations as well… besides you did what you could do and that makes you a good president for trying." You told Monika, trying to reassure her.

Monika smiles at you. "Thank you (Y/N) you're too kind… but all of this proves that Sayori is amazing in her own ways, isn't she?"

"She sure is, she may come off as an airhead, but I always found it suspicious that she knows what she's doing sometimes."

Monika smiles and tells you "I see make sure you take good care of her… I'd hate to see her get herself hurt…"

"That makes the two of us… but you need to make sure you take care of yourself too! Where would this club be without our amazing president?!" You complimented to her, making Monika blush and smile at you as she patted your back. You feel like you're already getting close to her in such a short time.

The rest of the club continued without any major problems. Monika stood up and announced "Okay everyone! It's time for us to go home! How did you all feel about sharing poems?" Everyone agreed that they enjoyed it and would love to do it again. Monika smiles happily, pleased at the response. "Perfect! Well let's do the same thing for tomorrow! So, clean up and you're free to go!" Monika clapped her hands, and everyone started to clean up.

You went over to Monika to help her move the desks back into their original spots. Remembering what happened earlier in the club you decided to ask Monika a question. "Hey do you think you can give me some piano lessons? Maybe this weekend?"

Monika looked up at you and gave you a sweet, innocent smile that tugged at your heartstrings. "Of course! Although I'll have to check my schedule to make sure but why not try coming over to the music room during lunch tomorrow and I can teach you some of the simple things I know!"

You pumped your fist mentally, excited that you'll be able to kill two birds with one stone, learn piano and hang out with Monika. Once the two of you were done moving the desks you waited for Sayori to finish cleaning the chalk board. Once she was done she skipped over to you. "Are you ready?" She asked.

"Yep!" You responded.

Monika noticed the two of you leaving and waved goodbye saying "See you two tomorrow! Stay safe and don't do anything I wouldn't do!"

Sayori only giggled and waved back as you did the same. The two of you exited school grounds. The two of you walked together in silence until it was broken by Sayori. "Whew what a day huh (Y/N)?"

You threw your arms back and stretched, letting out a big yawn. "Yeah it was. Good job on stopping that argument! You were always good at dealing with people." You complimented.

Sayori blushed with a smirk on her face. "Well being best friends with you helped train me for situations like this." She teased as she pushed you slightly with her elbow.

You only laughed at her comment as the two of you continued walking home. Once you got to Sayori's house you told her "Now don't forget to write your poem!"

Sayori smiled and replied "And don't forget your piano lessons with Monika during lunch tomorrow! Although I doubt you'll ever forget that." She teased before entering inside her house.

You only let out a sigh and a small chuckle at your neighbor's teasing. You continued to walk to your house and went inside. After you wrote your poem, you decided to practice the hand exercises that Monika showed you today. You got into bed and did these exercises until you fell asleep.
