Chapter 4: A New Club
Natsuki opens the door enthusiastically. She has a lot of strength and power considering her 4ft body.
"Hey I hope you don't mind," Natsuki announces, "My friend practically begged me to come for some reason and I just had to let him."
"I wasn't begging," I say in retaliation, "You said it yourself I have to start looking at other clubs so why not start it off easy by going with someone I already know."
"Whatever you say, just don't make me look bad" Natsuki says.
I look around at the classroom. I feels as though my heart drops. Probably because it actually did. I fell to the ground looking around. I already knew everyone but I didn't. There was a girl with short orange hair, a girl with long purple hair and overly large boobs. And a girl that I know. A girl that I fell I've known sense the beginning of time itself. Her white ribbon said it all.
"God Damn It Ethan!" Natsuki says in a panic, "I told you not to embarrass me."
"I'm sorry." I say.
Natsuki looks at me confused. Like my words where unexpected. The girls in the club rush over to me.
"Hey are you okay." The orange girl says.
"Here let me get you some water." The purple hair girls says.
I look over at the final girl. She looks at me but she doesn't say anything. In fact she might not even be looking at me just in that direction.
"Help"
"What was that?" I ask.
"I said I can get you some water. Is that a problem?" The purple haired girl repeats herself.
"No no, I thought I heard someone else." I say.
"01010000 01101100 01100101 01100001 01110011 01100101 Help"
Start to look around in a panic.
"01000110 01110010 01100101 01100101 00100000 01101101 01100101"
"Did you hit your head when you fell?" Natsuki says.
"I must of." I say.

"I will break you free of this cycle, I promise. I have to. We have been here for years rotting away but this is my one and only chance. Hold strong 01010100 01010111 00111001 01110101 01100001 01010111 01110100 01101000...,,;'';;lp[lfhnptlftdfjstj'''"""
I wake up sitting at a desk. I see the girls all standing around me and a glass of water on the desk as well.
"Jeez took you long enough." Natsuki says.
"Natsuki don't be so mean he just passed out for 20 mins" Sayori says.
"Sayori's right Natsuki try to have a little but of a heart like Yuri bringing me the water, thanks for that by the way." I say.
The all look at me with a strange look.
"What's with the look?" I ask genuinely.
"How do you know their names?" Natsuki says.
Sayori and Yuri look straight at me in confusion.
"Why wouldn't I know their names. Sayori is my childhood friend who I've known a mass majority of my life and enjoys happy but sad or bothe or niether stuff while Yuri is a good club mate who reads by herself in her spare time. She likes to read novels that take to a whole new world and recently horror books have been doing that. Even though you hate horror books Natsuki. Your more into baking and manga even though you don't share your manga with a lot a people because you think they'll bully you about it. And then theres..." I stop.
I feel everyone's stares in the room. My mouth is open but no sound is coming out. I don't know how I got that information. I just said it like I new it. And some of it isn't even true.
"And then there's who Ethan?" Says the final girl.
"And then there's who, William."
"Then there a girl that has it all. A girl who is athletic, smart, and popular. A girl who can do anything that she puts her mind to even if it seems like a bad idea, for example starting a literature club and then putting Sayori as a vice president. A girl with green eyes, coral brown hair, and a white bow to stand out." I say.
"Her name?" She says.
"What are your names?"
"Her name," I slow down. Why is this so hard to remember. I know it I have to.
"What are your names?"
"Her name is" I say.
"Not 01001000 01100101 01110010 name"
"Your name is Monika." I say.
"Anything else?" Monika says.
"You are," I studder, "dating someone, someone one who would travel through universes just to spend a single second with you. Some who depends on them because there the only other person that understands them. Some that lo..."
Monika starts to laugh.
"Sorry you had the most of it but I'm not dating anyone." Monika says, "Though that guy would sound nice to be with."
"Oh sorry." I say.
"Stop apologizing its not like you didn't do anything wrong." Monika says to me.
"Then I'll start thanking people if you don't want me apologizing." I say
Monika laughs again, "What's the point in doing that?"
"To make sure they feel appreciated." I say.
Monika and I look at each other. Our eyes lock together. There Mirrors reflect another time. Another world where we were together. A time where we were all together. I need to bring that back or better yet, bring that here.
"I'm sorry to cut in. But I need to just say he did do something wrong." Natsuki says.
"Like what?" Monika says.
"HE JUST SAID INFORMATION ABOUT US THAT WAS RIGHT, WRONG, AND PERSONAL. THE HELL YOU MEAN 'Like what' " Natsuki says in a flustered tone.
"Well it seems we have a very enthusiast fan other the literature club, that's all." Monika says with a sweet smile.
"Is that really the excuse your pulling out of your ass." Natsuki says.
"I mean why don't you ask the person?" Monika says.
Natsuki gives me a deathly stare.
"Yeah, sorry to tell you but I'm just a really big fan." I say.
"Really?!" Natsuki says, "Bullshit you are. I haven't even heard you ever speak about literature. Besides whats this Sayori childhood shit. How do you explain that."
"Well first of all, I've over heard a couple of little facts about you guys around the school. And don't forget that I was also loopy this morning. Hell, I couldn't remember my name so forgetting you as my childhood friend shouldn't be that much of a stretch."
"I guess, but we aren't that popular?" Natsuki says.
"Well talk around the school is that you guys are gonna do something big for the festival this year. So a lot of people began to take notice of its members to see if they would be able to pull off this 'amazing stunt'." I say.
"Why would people think we would be doing something like that?" Yuri ask.
I look over at Sayori who is sweating a bit more than usual. I don't know who I know this knowledge but damn well am I gonna use it.
"I believe these rumors started with Sayori." I say.
"WHAT!" Natsuki says.
Everyone looks over at Sayori who tried to sneak away by crawling on the ground metal gear solid style.
"Hey Sayori," Natsuki says standing above her. "What did you say?"
"Well you know, I wanted to boost popularity for the club so I may or may not of said we were gonna do something incredible, a complete showstopper." Sayori says nervously.
"And why would you not consult us?" Yuri says.
"Well I thought it was a good idea and..." Sayori studders.
"AND!" Natsuki says loudly.
"I um... I'M SORRY I THOUGHT I WAS DOING A GOOD THING!" Sayori says while balling her eyes out.
Thank goodness. The attention was off me and now on Sayori. I looked over at Monika who was just watching this madness ensue. She smiled warmingly but something was missing. I know what I have to do. I have to...
"Fix 01101101 01111001 smile."
