The girl with a white bow was the first one to act and smiles. "Hi F-Flynn! Welcome to the literature club! Nice seeing you!"
Flynn recognizes the girl to be Monika because she has been his classmate in middle school but they never been friends because she seems to avoid him. The other 2 other girls looked at him disgusted but the one with a red bow smiled at him. For the 4 girls, this is a nightmare but for Flynn, this is hell. He never really wanted to get close with the people who knew about his old self.
"Hi Flynn! I'm Sayori! Welcome to our club!" Sayori gleefully greeted.
"Uhm. Thanks?" Flynn replied. "Nice meeting you, Sayori."
To break the ice and tension, Mr. Dan steps in. "Okay! Mr. Grimes is here to join you guys and is willing to contribute his knowledge and skills for the club. I hope you guys can get along!" he said as he starts walking out of the room.
"Oh and Mr. Grimes!" he said as patted Flynn's shoulder. "Good luck. Your grades depend on it." he finished sending chills to Flynn's spine.
"Okay everyone! Why don't we sit down. Uhm. Flynn you can...sit everywhere you like." Monika said turning her attention to the other club members.
"Hey Flynn you can seat next to me!" Sayori said with a cheerful smile. Flynn takes a seat next to her and wasn't even making eye contact with her.
The other girls remained quiet but finally, the one with a pink hair spoke up. "Sayori, why are you being so nice to him? Don't you know who he is?" the girl with a pink hair said with a stinging tone.
Sayori ignores her and just smiles. Flynn on the other hand doesn't want to be mean to her or make a response. He remains in his seat filling the gap between Sayori and a purple haired girl.
"C'mon guys! Don't be like that! I saw him help a little guy this morning by giving him money because some bully took his." Sayori said with a sad expression.
The other girls remained quiet while Monika who was at the teacher's desk just looks at them with worry.
Finally Flynn spoke up. "Look girls, I know the stories that you heard about me and it's true but if you're gonna hear me out, that's not me anymore. I don't want to make anyone uncomfortable but If you don't want me here then fine. I'll leave. I won't hate you for it." he said with sad expression. Flynn decided that there is no hope for this girls and doesn't want to be part of their problem he sighs and stands up and walks to the door.
"Uhm. Wait!" Monika called.
Flynn looks back at her. "What?"
"H-Hey I'm sorry! Please don't leave! Mr. Dan told be about you and we're actually in need of members." Monika said. "It was also Sayori who told him to recommend you at the club."
Flynn goes back to his seat. "How many members so far?"
"Uhm. 4 plus you and that makes it 5." she said.
Flynn sighs and smiles. "Alright. Mrs. President. Just show me the ropes."
"Alright. Let us all put the hate aside. If Sayori has faith in you then so beat it." The strawberry girl said.
"Well let's get a proper introduction this time!" Sayori said and faces the other club members
"This is Natsuki! Always full of energy and an amazing cook!" Sayori said making Natsuki glow red on her cheeks. Sayori than turns to the purple one. "This is Yuri! The smartest of the club and a book expert!"
"D-Don't say things like that." Yuri said fiddling with her hair. "I-I'm not really an expert..."
"Wow, these girls look like a bunch rain clouds and rainbows. I just hope I don't screw this up if I want to change of course!" Flynn said to himself.
"And finally Monika! The club president!" Sayori cheerfully said. "...she's also a good role model!"
Monika's eyes widen. "W-What?" she said feeling a little embarrassed with Sayori's description of her. With that being set aside, the girls take their seats and judging for what he sees, this is really a good club to join. Sadly Flynn is not really got in literature but he does read one book that is really interesting.
"Flynn. I'm sorry for acting like that." Monika apologizes. "It's just that I judge too early."
"M-Me too. If Mr. Dan is telling the truth about you then I'm looking forward working with you." Yuri said shyly.
"Well Mr. Grimes since you're new here..." Natsuki said while rummaging in her lunch bag "Take this." she said handing Flynn a strawberry cupcake.
"Uhm. Thanks." Flynn said while reluctantly taking it. "Well I'll make sure I'll do my best to contribute in this club. Bet on it." Flynn said with weak smile. "This gonna be a train ride." he thought to himself.
"Well Flynn, hope you enjoy your stay and we'll be g-good friends!" Monika said with a smile. "Just to let you know that we also write and show poems here so make sure you make one before the club meetings."
"Oh sure!" Flynn said. "I do know a little about poetry."
"Uhm...g-guys, why don't we teach Flynn here about what we do...and maybe we can show some of the books we have?" Yuri shyly recommended. The other girls agreed and Flynn on the other hand feels a little down but soon hops onboard. The rest of the club meeting focuses on teaching Flynn on what they do in the club.
"Alright! Time to go!" Sayori said as she starts packing her things.
"Guess I'll see guys tomorrow." Flynn said
"We'll discuss the things we need to do tomorrow for the festival." Monika said.
"Okay. You guys take it easy." Flynn being the first to leave the room. He went outside the school and rides his motorcycle. He soon meets up with his friends at the truck stop.
"Hey dudes." He greeted as he parks his motorcycle in the garage. "Sorry I'm late! I got into literature." he jokingly said.
Evan and Neon look at each other and turns to him. "Well dude, I don't know what that means but get in here and sit." Neon said.
"Well it's a story to tell." Flynn said.
The next day.
"So yeah that's what Mr. Dan told me." Flynn said as he takes a bite of his hamburger.
"Well that's cool. At least you don't have to pressure yourself over on what to make." Price said.
"Hey I've heard that the literature club has a lot cute girls." Evan said with a devilish smirk.
"Well what about it?" Flynn asked raising an eyebrow.
"Oh nothing... Heh heh." Evan said and turns to his food.
The five of them continued to eat their lunch. Flynn notice Yuri alone reading a book on her table. He notice other students sneaking glances at her and snickering. They're probably making fun of her. His friends soon notice where he was looking. "Oh that's Yuri." Neon said.
"You know her?" Flynn asked.
Neon takes a bite at his food. "Yeah. She's my classmate in Science." he replied and swallows. "Odd fellow tho." he added.
"What do you mean?" Flynn asked with curiosity.
"Well she's not like the other girls. She is different. During my class I'm hearing people making fun of her. My classmates will only come to her when they need something from her. I feel bad that some guys and "basic bitches" bully her. Heck they even ask her to do their homework!" Neon said sounding pissed.
"That's outrageous." Billy said who's also looking at Yuri.
"Horrible so to say." Price added.
Flynn looks at Yuri and turns to Neon. His friends notice this and grins. "Oooohhhh. I see where this going!" Evan teased.
"No you didn't." Flynn retorted. He saw Yuri packs up her things and leaves the cafeteria.
"Aww. You'll get her next time Flynn." Billy teased.
"Maybe man. Just maybe." Flynn replied. "Lunch is almost over. Let's go guys." He and his friends pack up and went to their class.
