"As you may or may not know, I have big plans for this club" Monika starts.
" While I do believe that reading and discussing literature is an important activity in this club, my plan was for us to write poetry as well. But I thought I would make it even more interesting"
Okaaayyy, is this what she meant by changing the story and events? Where is she going with this?
" I want us to collaborate and write a book all together. "
… What?
" Ohhhh! That's an amazing idea Monika! " Sayori says, jumping from her chair.
" I think it would be a great way to expand our knowledge and understanding of writing" Yuri says nodding.
" Uhmm, are we not going to address the elephant in the room first? " Natsuki says, pointing at me.
The other girls then stare at me, Yuri suddenly looks down, mumbling. Sayori, on the other hand looks at me with a puzzled look on her face. She then looks at Natsuki.
" Eh? What do you mean Natsuki? " she asks.
" Sayori, you said yourself that he wasn't an avid reader, right? Won't he just slow us down while were writing? I don't think we should be assigning such a task to a beginner" Natsuki says, with a smug look on her face.
" Ohhh that's sweet, you care about my well being and that I don't feel pressured to work myself too hard" I reply, giving my best smile.
" W-What?! "she stutters.
" Ok everyone, please! " Monika brings everyone back to the original conversation.
" While you're not wrong, Natsuki, our new member is more or less a beginner, I used to in the same class as him, I know for a fact he can learn and adapt quickly!" Monika says cheerfully.
Learn and adapt? What am I, on an episode of man vs wild? Wait, is that reference still relevant? Might not be a good idea to say it out loud, I think to myself.
" But, since it's true that he doesn't have as much experience as we do… I'll be counting on everyone here to go out of their way to…assist him. "
I see Monika glance at me and wink. Oh, ok I see were this is fuckin' going. Has Monika turned into my wingman…wingwoman… is that a thing? Whatever, stop zoning out.
" Yeah, I wouldn't mind that, I'd really love to learn about writing and literature from all of you. " I say.
" Well then it's settled, Yuri, today I want you to be the first to spend time with our new member! Show him the ropes of the world of reading! "
… I'll keep my pens to myself this time around… or maybe not who knows?
...
So hey, If you like or hate this so far let me know. I'm open to criticism or hate, whatever floats your boat!
