Club Activities

My sleepover at Nana's house was superb. Her parents have a pretty big house, so they can house quite a number of guests. I saw a few of my other friends, met and chat for a bit and then proceeded to wind down. She also offered us some drinks and well, I- let's just say I think I'm going with Kyoho Nigori. This isn't my first time drinking, I've had a couple sips from my relatives and all I can say is that I have a sweet tooth when it comes to drinking these alcoholic beverages.

"So Aoi,"

"What is it, Pachiko-san?"

"You join any groups yet?"

"Groups?"

"Yeah, like some sort of club?"

"Oh no. I haven't."

"You should. It's not good for a girl to get all antisocial."

"I'm not antisocial."

"Well you hardly ever hang out with me."

"That's because I had my grades to attend to."

"Yeah but couldn't you have at least spend more time with us?"
"Don't you get on my case too, Teruki."

"Just saying. You won't be a kid forever."

"I'm a teenager."

"Is there a difference?"

They're right. I haven't been that socially active since I've joined Yabaize and really. Maybe I should join a club after all. The problem is- well, it's complicated.

"So why haven't you join a club yet?"

"Well what club should I join?"

"What are your hobbies?"

"Well I'm into baseball, but I'd much rather be the one watching them."

"They have a club for that."

"I find the literacy style of Ferdowsi to be quite enjoyable."

"There's also a club for members of poetry as well."

"I don't know. I- I can't decide."

"Well what do you want?"

"Hey Aoi."

"Yeah Yona?"

"I've noticed a lot of what you enjoy doing pertains to just sitting around."

"Are you suggesting I'm lazy?"
"No, just found it-"

"There's nothing wrong with her hobbies, Yona."

"Yeah. Listen to what she has to say."

"I'm just saying. A lot of your activities involve just sitting around. Surely you wouldn't get bored doing just that?"

"And how would you know? You're not a girl."

"No, but I would imagine it would get real tedious to do the same thing over and over again."

"Isn't that what boys do?"

"Hey. Just because I run track doesn't mean I don't have other hobbies. I enjoy knitting in my spare time."

"What? Why would you ever admit that?"

"Knitting can have its usages."

Mm. This is going to be a tough one for me. I don't particularly like getting myself dirty, so any outdoors type activity club is a no go for me. But it's also true that many of the things that I do like are ultimately the sit around types.

"Do you guys have any recommendations?"

"How about joining the Tea Appreciation Club?"

"Sounds nice."

"What about the Sports Appreciation Club?"

"I like that."

"The Literature Club?"

"No. Just no."

"How about Volleyball?"

"That sounds neat."

"Want to join the Psychic Research Club?"

"What? No. What kind of fool do you take me for? I'm not some new age girl hippie."

"Uh, just so you know, new age and psychism aren't mutually inclusive."

"Whatever. I don't like associating myself with all that pseudoscientific stuff. It doesn't exist."

"How about the Science Club?"
"Ooh. That sounds interesting. What sort of stuff do they do over there?"

"Oh, chemistry, bio-engineering, particle acceleration. Ya know, Science stuff."

"Huh. I'll have to go pay them a visit some time."

"Swimming?"

"I'll try that."

"So have any ideal on what clubs you want to join?"

"I don't know. There's plenty I'd like but I don't know if I could-"

"You don't have to pick just one. You can pick them all."

These are all great ideals. I just don't know which one to pick. Yeah, I could pick all of them but then that would put a hamper on my study habits and my grades may go down as a result. I think, just to be safe, I'm only going to go with 1 - 3 clubs.

"You better hurry though. I hear most of the schools club are closing."

"Closing for what?"

"Either from lack of members or from being considered full. If you want to join any of them, now is the time."

"Gotcha. I'll make note of what you just said."

And so here we are today. It's lunch time and I've taken it upon myself to peruse the school's listed social clubs. I'm not sure which one I will pick, but I trust my judgement to be superior. Hmm. Now where is that sugary smell coming from? It smells like its coming this way. Is someone making waffles? Do we have a Dessert Club?

"My. That smells real nice. Are you girls part of club or something?"

"Oh yes, but we've already reached full capacity. Better luck next time."

"I see."

Well looks like I won't be sampling those sweet smells from this social gathering. Maybe I'll try my luck at this next gathering.

"Come on. Move it! Move it! Move it! Put your back into it."

"Ugh. But chief. I can barely move an inch."

"That's because you're not giving it your all. If you want to win the hearts of these fine ladies, you need to give them your best. Do you want to be a virgin forever?"

'Fuck no."

"No, I didn't think so. Now follow my regime and I promise you all. You will all become Chads one day."

...Yeah, I think I'll pass on this one. What is this? A Chad Club? Are people that desparate to get laid with a girl? Sheesh. What a bunch of losers. Just ask her out, like how hard can it be? Though I admit, if one those scrawny weaklings came up to me and asked for a date, I'd laugh at him before telling him to get a life. None of them will ever be worthy of me. I only desire the best, because I am the best and that's what I'm going to get.

"Oh? Is this the Cosplay Club?"

"Ah! A new invitee! Miharu! Quickly pour her a cup of that delicious tea you're brewing. Don't just stand there Kyon! Give her a seat."

"Would you prefer a biscuit to go with your tea?"

"Um, no thanks. I just came to drop in by and-"

"Ah. I see what it is."

"You do?"

"Yeah. You feel as though you've got eyes all over you. Like you're being examined under a microscope."

"Uh.."

"But don't worry. We will capture that perv."

What is she talking about? I mean, I know I'm attractive but I'm not that attractive. Could she be referring to-

"I, Haruhi Suzimiya head of the SOS Brigade shall lend you an assistant."

"I'm sorry, but I just came to see if this was a club or something."
"Oh? My bad. Huh, I guess my hunch was off."

"Well I'll just be on my way."

Weird. I wonder what all of that was about. A microscope? Is someone watching me? Nah, it couldn't be. That girl's got some weird chuunibyou vibes going about her. Ah, guess I'm back at the drawing board again. Maybe I should join that Science Club after all.
