Chapter 1
Sprinting down the street as if a starving pack of wolves were chasing him, a boy, no older than seventeen, quickly burst through the door of one of the apartment complexes lining the road. Rushing up the stairs, completely ignoring the elevator and other residents in the lobby, the boy went straight to the fourth floor. Bursting into the apartment at the end of the hall, one of the residents, a short, strawberry pink haired girl, quickly approached him.
"Garret?!" She shouted his name in both shock and surprise. "What're you doing? You ghost me the entire day, then- ugh. You smell really bad." She pinched her nose, taking note of his sweaty red hoodie. "You run a marathon to get here?"
The boy ripped the hood off his head, showing his damp, brown hair.
"Sayori, I-I can't- I can't really explain." Garret rushed over to the blinds and peaked out of them. "I don't know what's going on, but-" he suddenly stopped as he placed a hand on his stomach. "Hungry."
Making a beeline for the kitchen, Garret ripped open the door of the fridge and began frantically looking for something edible. Spotting leftover pizza, he pulled out the slices and began shoving them into his mouth as if he were starving.
"Garret!"
Before he even finished, Garret dropped the remaining pizza and opened the freezer. Spotting a bag of frozen fries, broccoli and tater tots, he pulled out each one, ripped them open, and began eating, much to Sayori's disgust and worry.
"Garret!" She called his name again.
Looking at Sayori with a mouthful of food, he quickly swallowed before stepping up to her. Hovering his hands around her head, he stared at her with a burning hunger. She stared back in confusion and worry.
"What's going on with you?"
Clenching his fists, Garret turned away with a growl.
"No!"
Feeling a sudden urge to puke, Garret rushed into the bathroom, shut and locked the door, and vomited into the toilet. Groaning afterwards, Garret flushed and rose to his feet as Sayori knocked on the door.
"Garret? You okay?"
Heading to the sink, Garret turned it on and splashed himself with cold water before turning off the faucet.
"Jesus Christ..." he said as he ran a hand down his face. "What the hell is wrong with me?"
Looking at his reflection, his face suddenly morphed. His eyes were replaced with sharp, terrifying white pupils. His mouth was changed into a permanent horrific smile. He seemingly had no lips and his teeth were sharper than a shark's.
"Garret." A deep, distorted voice suddenly growled, startling the teen.
Letting out a terrified scream, Garret jumped back in horror.
Three days earlier
Inside the local high school, NorthWest High, Garret stood in the hallway with Sayori.
"Ready to see my club?"
Garret gave an unsure chuckle.
"Do I have to do this, Sayori?"
"Yep!" She gleefully answered. "A deal's a deal."
Garret let out a sigh of defeat.
"Let's go."
Entering the room, Garret was met with three other beautiful ladies. The one he noticed first was the tall, purple haired and purple eyed girl standing in the center of the desks with a book under her arm. The second was a short, pink haired and pink eyed girl sitting in the corner reading manga. The third girl, the president of the club, walked over to meet Garret. Her long brown hair flowed down her back, and her emerald eyes pierced Garret's.
"Welcome... Garret, right?" She asked as she extended her right hand. Shaking it, Monika continued. "Sayori's told us all so much about you."
"Really?" Garret glanced back at the girl.
The girl simply looked away, embarrassed.
"Anyway. I'm Monika, the president." She introduced herself. "That's Natsuki," she gestured to the pink haired girl. "And Yuri." She gestured to the third girl in the room.
"Heya." Garret waved.
"Now, unfortunately, we aren't really doing much today, since it's Friday and all." Monika continued. "Just walk around and get yourself familiar, 'kay. By the way, thanks for joining."
Garret went to say he wasn't sure if he was actually gonna join but bit his tongue. Looking to Sayori, he could tell how much him joining ment to her.
"Of course, Monika." He said with a smile.
