I was working on a graff tag sort of late at night.
I usually do this just to get my mind off of things.
Especially after everything that happened between me and Monika yesterday.
I usually wouldn't let things like these get the best of me since I honestly couldn't care less about a club that I would probably leave in about a month or 2, but since this is also affecting Sayori, this is something I can't really ignore.
I sat back in my bed as I checked the time, 12:50 a.m.
I put my sketch book on the ground and thought about what Monika said.
She made the literature club not for the actual literature stuff the club was meant for, but just to get away from everyone and not have to deal with them.
I don't mind that, but the fact that Sayori is being used for that doesn't sit well with me...
Then there's also the fact that Monika somehow likes me…
I shuddered to myself, hell no.
I'll make damn sure that she won't get a chance to get with me...especially when she also mentioned changing me…
I think she might actually be some kind of sadist on the inside…
And what sucks even more is the fact that I'm the only one who knows this!
I could go to Sayori and tell her all of this, but is she really going to believe me?!
I couldn't care less to tell Yuri and Bitch, so they can probably stay there if they want, but goddamn it! She actually outsmarted my bullshit outsmart-ion!
And she's actually doing a damn good job at it too!
She's been doing this for what? Almost an entire year now?
You'd think she'd spill some kind of hint about her real goal…
..well, I guess that spill did happen yesterday…
Ahhh! I need to stop thinking about this too hard! It's too damn late in the night to be thinking about this stuff!
I'll just think it over in the morning and at school…
It's been the first 3 weeks of school...I've got plenty of time…
Those were my last thoughts before I drifted off to sleep and dreamt of….well, I don't know something?
6 hours later~
As I woke up from my alarm clock blaring in my eardrums, I felt like shit.
Like really really shit.
Not because of the 6 hours of sleep that I got, that's part of it, but I just really, really feel like shit.
As I tried to get off the bed and get changed, I nearly doubled over as I got off balanced.
What the fuck, why am I light headed….
I stood straight up and reached over to my glasses case and almost fell again.
Not really used to all this weird shit happening to me I put both of my hands and put them on my neck (no I did not choke myself, you sick bastards…), then my cheeks, and then my forehead…
All of them were pretty heated…
Yup….I'm sick…
Which is both good and bad, because 1) I don't have to go to school obviously, and 2) I don't have to deal with the Literature Club, 3) I sadly have to chug a gallon of cold medicine to the point of calling me an alcoholic, so that's great.
I laid back down on my bed as I took my phone and dialed dads number.
I sat there for a few seconds as the dial rung…
"Hello?" My dad said as he answered.
"Hey, I'm pretty sure I'm sick." I told him.
"Really? Is it a cold? Are you okay?" He asked.
"I feel pretty bad with the lightheadedness and sluggish feeling, so no not really…" I said.
"...Alright, you can stay home. Eat something, take some medicine, and don't be out of bed too long." he said, "Where so you think you got sick? You didn't catch it from Sayori, did you?"
"No I don't think I did-" I said until I remembered Sayori shoving her 'Sickness' filled notebook in my face.
"You know what, forget what I said, maybe I did get it from her…" I said annoyingly as I sighed to myself.
"Alright well, If Hideki's home I'll tell him to make some soup for you. If not, then you're probably going to have to make it on your own, sadly." He said
"Don't worry, I think I can manage some soup if I wear some layers, I think I'll be fine." I said as I got up and put a hoodie on.
"Alright, I gotta go before my boss sees me. Get better soon. Bye." was the last thing he said before hanging up.
I went back to the home menu on my phone and into the Messages.
- Sayori: -
Sayori: Please! Just one answer!
Me: No, answer it yourself.
Sayori: So mean!
-Yesterday-
Me:
I won't be coming to
school today, caught
your sickness.
Seen: 7:01
I was generally surprised to see no reply from her, especially when my phone told me that she had already seen it.
A couple of loud thumps were heard from outside my room.
Ah, yeah. I guess that makes a bit more sense…
My door was opened quickly and slightly loudly as Sayori entered my room, "Jun, are you okay?" she said while panting a bit.
I made a small wave at her as she walked up to me.
Looking at her now, compared to yesterday, Sayori looks relatively normal and not sickly.
"So I think I might've caught your sickness from yesterday, So, that's cool." I said to her as she slowly walked up to me.
I grabbed her hand when she got close, scaring her, "Do you want to know how, Sayori?" I said menacingly.
Sayori looked liked she was sweating bullets as she stood there, "U-um...N-no, h-how did you...um...get sick?" She said nervously before looking somewhere else.
"Oh look at the time! I need to get to School!" Sayori brought up innocently as she tried to leave.
"Don't run from this, you'll only make it worse when I get better!" I said trying to warn her.
She stood there still for a moment, before she struggled to get my grip off her and make a run for it.
She finally managed to break my grip off and run for it.
"See you later Jun, I'll make sure to visit you after school!" She said as she began to head back downstairs.
"Lock the doors this time!" I shouted after her.
I'm really worried whether or not she locked the doors….
Well...I'm too tired to check, so if I end up kidnapped and used for Ransom, then this will be my final message before I get put into a suspicious white van…
Traps are gay.
Time for more sleep…
...up until my goddamn phone vibra-
What do you want phone!
I checked what triggered my phone as I saw a text messages from one of my online friends, Jin.
Yeah, that's his actual name (the writer of this definitely isn't being lazy, nope, not at all…), a surprise to say the least, but he's a pretty ok dude.
Both me and my brother met him in real life, he's a lot more eccentric compared to me and my brother, maybe as much as Sayori, but he's a good guy to hang around with regardless.

-Hey, it's been a while
since we hang out, wanna do something
Saturday? Already asked Hideki, and
he's going too.
-- -- -- --
I mean, I guess it has been a long time since we hung out, especially since winter fucked me up.
- NotATrap.jpg -
-Hey, it's been a while
since we hang out, wanna do something
Saturday? Already asked Hideki, and
he's going too.
Me: Sure why not. Where
do you want to go?
-Was thinking of going
to the mall, hang out, eat food, y'know nothing
too big. You're favorite trap was getting lonely~
Me: Right, because that's
the real reason...
-So mean!
-but seriously, it has
been a while since we hanged, so why not do
it while we still have time.
Me: While we still have time?
What do you mean by
that?
-By that, I mean college.
I don't know how much time I'll have when I
enter it.
-- -- -- --
Oh yeah, I forget that he's a year older than me. I still have a year left before I have to decide what kind of career I want to have before the year is up.
-- -- -- --
Me: While we still have time?
What do you mean by
that?
-By that, I mean college.
I don't know how much time I'll have when I
enter it.
Me: Alright, Saturday it is.
-Yay! Thanks Edgelord!
Me: Uh huh, sure.
-- -- -- --
With that out of the way, I'm just gonna go get some sleep.
5 hours later~
Huh…
I definitely feel a lot better than before. My light headedness is gone, but I still feel a bit bad.
I got my phone and was about to see how long I was sleeping for up until I saw a couple of missed calls and a lot of text messages.
Oh Sayori, please stop spamming my fucking phone.
-Sayori-
-Hey, are you going to be ok?
-Hey, answer the phone!
-Are you asleep?
-Did you take some medicine?
-Hey!
-It's been a couple of hours,
when are you going to wake up?
-Hey!
-Are you actually ignoring me?
-Please get better soon!
-lol
-oops, wrong person.
-How long will you sleep for?!
Me: Stop spamming my
Fucking phone!
-- -- -- --
It wasn't even that long that Sayori decided to actually call me.
I don't even know why I decided to pick up the phone…
"Can you not spam my phone with 20 different messages?" I asked her when I accepted the call.
"Oh but spamming your phone is fun. Wouldn't you say?" Monika said from the other side of the call.
"Oh god, it's you…" I said disgustedly.
"Hello there Jun!" Monika said all innocently.
"What did you do to the cinnamon roll?" I asked her.
"Cinnamon roll? Aw, you even gave her a nickname, how cute. What's mine?" She asked.
"A Brick. It makes me want to toss you far away from me. Besides, Sayori's head and hair style sort of looks like a cinnamon roll." I said as I tried to explain my weird comparisons.
"Aw, that's too bad, I was hoping for some kind of nicer sounding name. Besides, she in the bathroom right now." Monika said as she toyed with me.
"So you stole her phone? Wow what a good friend you are." I said sarcastically.
"Monika? Who are you talking to?" Someone said for away from the phone.
"Oh, it's just a friend. Take your time." Monika said to the other person.
Just a friend my ass…
"I'm hanging up now. Give Sayori back her phone." I said as I was about to hang up.
"Why~? We were just starting to have fun~!" Was the last thing Monika said before I hung up on her.
I sighed to myself before I left my room and headed to the bathroom to wash up and get something to eat.
After making some eggs and toast and eating it, I laid out onto the sofa.
I checked the time.
12:30...alright, at least lunchtime is over for school, now what the hell do I do for the rest of the day…
I got another 10 minutes before I have to take the medicine….
I could play some Rainbow 6…
...nah, I'd rather not shout at my useless teammates while I'm sick…
Ughhhh…..being bored and sick sucks…
I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket as I bitched and moaned on the couch.
When I opened it, I got a random text from a number I didn't know.
-xx-x567x-xx-
-Hey, I heard you
were also dying,
are you okay?
Me: Who is this?
-Take a guess
Jackass.
-- -- -- --
Wait what?!
How the hell did she even get my number?
Hold on, 'Also dying'?
-Bitch-
-Take a guess
Jackass.
Me: You got sick
too?
-Yeah, I think I
got too close to her.
Me: Alright so, why
did you text me?
-I just felt like it!
-If you hate it, then
go ahead and block me.
Me: You really need
to get some anger management
-Shut up.
-Did you already talk to Sayori?
Me: I mean I did in
the morning, but not so much.
Me: Why?
-'Cause she's freaking out,
saying that we got infected
because of her.
Me: Well, she isn't
wrong though.
Me: Aside from that
how bad did she get you?
-Pretty bad. Can't use my
voice.
Me: Kek
-So what are you
doing right now?
Me: Texting you.
-No shit Sherlock.
Me: nothing really.
Might play some
games later on.
Why?
-I'm just bored.
Me: You know I'd
say go text some friends
but I forgot you have none.
-You're really trying to
piss me off aren't you?
Me: Can you tell
that I'm also bored?
-You know I'd say go text
some friends but I forgot
you have none.
Me: Cool CopyPasta.
-I'm just gonna go watch
more Drama's.
-Go fuck yourself.
Me: How nice.
-- -- -- --
She didn't text me anymore after that. It was probably for the better anyways if she wanted to keep her blood pressure normal anyways.
But now I'm back to being bored with nothing to do…
Alright, I'll go talk shit to my shit teammates…
After taking some medicine for my sickness and taking a couple of water bottles up to my room, I spent the rest of my 2-3 hours playing some Monster Hunter.
I know that I said that I was probably gonna go talk shit to my shit teammates but after some thought, I'd rather play some other game where my teammates aren't shit at the game.
Ok….well...I say that, but after another thought, I just went out to help some newer players in this game by boosting them through the mission or giving them continuous healing to get the no deaths bonus.
Yeah, it did get boring after the 3rd hour but I at least did some higher level quests with the beginners to get them items that they probably shouldn't be getting after another 20 hours but hey no harm done.
It was a good thing that I heard the doorbell ring soon after.
As I headed down to the front door and looked through the glass peephole I saw Sayori on her knees in a begging position with Monika to her side looking, and probably feeling, a bit awkward while she stood next to her.
I opened the door slowly and poked my head out, "Sorry, I don't have money. I don't want any Girl Scout Cookies."
Sayori seemed to have flinched a bit when she heard me, "P-please forgive me Jun!" she said, "I didn't mean to get both you and Rika sick! Please forgive me!"
"Ok, sure. Get up." I said normally as I opened the door even more.
"You see? I told you he wouldn't be mad about it." Monika said as she crouched down towards Sayori.
Sayori looked slightly uneasy when she lifted her head up, "You're not mad?"
"I don't care if I get sick, that just gives me a day off from school." I said as I gave Sayori a hand.
"Jun…" Sayori looked up to me happily as she took my hand and accepted my help.
"Gotcha…" I said sinisterly.
Sayori's bright and cheerful face immediately made a 180 as she looked at me with a blank expression," W-what do you mean-"
"You should never shake hands with a sickly person, you never know what kind of germs are on their hands…" I said darkly as Sayori started to have the look of horror on her face, "This morning sucked for me. Like really sucked. Now I wouldn't be doing this if I didn't have my childhood friend abandon me the moment she saw how sick I was…."
"Oh wow, he does hold grudges…" Monika said being surprised on how mad I got at Sayori.
"But hey, what goes around comes around you know. Especially when it comes to sickness'. You never know when you might get sick again..." I said as I started to tighten my grip.
"J-Jun. Please let go. My hand is starting to hurt. It's really hurting. Please let go. Let go! I just started being able to breathe through my nose again! I like breathing through my nose!" Sayori begged as she tried to loosen my grip.
"Ok Jun. I think you've had your fun. Let go of her please." Monika said as she took Sayori's bag and started to enter my house.
"Hey now, I never said you could enter my house now did I?" I asked as I finally let go of Sayori's hand and followed after Monika.
"Oh silly me! Looks like I've been way too into my studies and thought that you're open door was a metaphor for welcoming us in. Maybe I should rest here for an hour or two?" Monika said before taking off her shoes and heading upstairs.
"You don't even know where my-"
"First door on my right, right?" Monika interrupted as she opened my door and gave me an innocent smile, "I've got a pretty good memory you know. I'm not the top student for anything!"
I mean you could've easily gotten test answers from your dear old Daddy, but yeah sure let's go with good memory. That's not completely suspicious you know.
I looked back at Sayori and saw her whimpering and holding her hand gently as she held it in the air for some reason.
I stepped inside and was about to close the door before I called out to her, "You coming?" I asked.
Sayori looked up instantly and rushed to get inside, completely forgetting her hand pain, "Yeah!"
As I got upstairs and headed back into my room, I saw Sayori already opening a bag of chips and eating it while Monika looked at my monitor with some curiosity, "What game were you playing?" she asked.
"Monster Hunter: World. Interested?" I said as I pulled my gaming chair out (I say gaming chair, but it was really an IKEA swivel chair that I got.)
Monika looked a bit surprised when she heard me, "Huh? Are you sure?" she asked.
"Yeah, I don't really care." I said as I stepped aside and let her sit down. I grabbed the headset and wrapped it around her neck.
"You're surprisingly smooth Jun. Not bad." Monika whispered to me with a slight smile.
"Uh Huh. Sure." I mumbled as I ignored Monika's comment, "Left hand on W, A, S, D, and your right on the mouse."
Monika did what I said and was a little fidgety while doing so.
"God, these hand placements are weird." Monika commented.
"This is the basic of the basic when it comes to online gaming. If it makes things easier just use your three middle fingers for W, A, and D. Use your pinky for Shift." I said as I showed her how.
"Heh. D…" Monika joked.
"What's this? The #1 Student and Role Model of the school making such an immature and crude joke? My word, Hell has definitely frozen over." I joked as with Monika.
"Well at least it's not as overused as 69…" Monika added.
"Nice." I commented.
"Boys…" Monika said as she sighed.
"Alright, let me just do this one thing." I said as I went and pressed the M key on my Keyboard.
The screen showed my character opening up a map with 5 different areas. A forest, a desert, and place with corals, a rotting wasteland and a place with crystals.
"Click over to the forest and click on 'Camp Site 1.'" I told her.
She did that and showed my character whistling over to a wyvern bird and picked up by it. The loading screen showed up before it disappeared and showed my character dropping in with his Palico (oversized cat the size of a child that can fight.)
Monika looked like she was in a trance as she used the mouse to look around, "It's so beautiful." She said.
"Yeah, it really is. Just wait until you see the monsters…" I commented, "Use W to move forward. If you want to turn, you can use either A and D to move left or right, or just use the move to look a certain direction."
Monika looked a bit confused as she pressed in the W key hard and used the mouse to look immediately to the left or right, walking into the invisible wall or into one of the bushes.
"Oh, who's that?" Monika said as she pointed to the palico.
"It's your Partner. Everyone gets a child sized cat to fight with." I explained to her.
"Chom...suke?" She said weirdly.
"Yes, that's his name." I said unashamed from my name choice (Yes, I did actually name my Palico Chomsuke.)
As she continued to walk away from the campsite and into an open area, Monika moved my character up to a wild buffalo looking animal.
"Left click on the mouse." I said.
Monika did that and made my character bring out his bow.
"Hold right click and aim at it, then hold on left click and let go when the bar charges up." I told her.
She did this and made my character shoot its bow at the buffalo looking monster. The arrows made a slicing sound effect while making the animal cry in pain.
Monika almost laughed when she heard the animal cry in pain.
"Do it again. Keep left clicking until it dies." I said darkly.
Monika did this to the buffalo and made my character shoot its arrows at it until it died.
"Congratulations. You killed your first monster." I said fake congratulating her.
"Yay, I killed something." Monika said with fake happiness.
"Now that you know how to kill things, let's make you fight a Dragon." I said normally while Monika looked at me weirdly, "Oh I'm being serious. Press M, let's go find it."
~5 minutes later~
"Oh man, is this a party…" I said nonchalantly as my character was being jumped by 3 different monsters that were fighting each other.
"Oh no...This...this has all gone downhill..." Monika said while trying not to laugh.
Ok, so what happened was that Monika was trying to look for a Rathalos, a red dragon, and while she was following the fireflies heading towards it, she bumped into a Rathian, a green Wal-Mart version of a Rathalos.
But instead of running past it, she accidentally shot an arrow at it and then started to run away from it, and then run into the monster we were looking for. The two dragons got into a turf war of sorts and during the middle of the fight, a Baezelguese, Codenamed, 'Cunt with Wings' crashed the party and started bombing all of us.
If that doesn't describe a normal day in Monster Hunter then I don't know what does.
"Uh, I don't know what to do, everything's on fire and blowing up and I'm somehow not dying yet." Monika said as she continued to run in circles.
"Alright, let's see how long I can survive this." I said as I leaned and took control and started shooting everything in front of me.
Sad to say that I only lasted about 2 minutes since Monika didn't buff before getting into the thick of it.
My character, after getting bombed, collapsed onto the ground before the screen faded to black. My character was brought back to the campsite on a cart with 3 palico's pushing me.
I leaned away from the keyboard and cracked my neck, "Aw, well that was interesting. If you want to go again, you can. Since you're in exploration mode, you basically have unlimited lives."
"I think I'm good for now, all that was a little too intense for my liking." Monika said as she stood up and too off the headset around her neck.
"Was it really that intense for you? Your face is pink." I pointed out.
Monika seemed surprised for a short moment before she gave me a sly smile, "No. I don't think it was the game that did that." She said before she got close to my side, "I wonder why."
I leaned myself away from Monika as she tried to get close to me, "I'd be great if you could not do that while Sayori's here…" I mumbled to her.
"Hmm...So are you saying that it's fine for me to flirt with you when she's not here?" Monika joked, "Besides, she's asleep right now."
I looked behind me and saw Sayori on my bed, silently snoring away. It's almost as if she already forgot that I was sick...
"Yeah, I guess you're right. Doesn't matter if she's here or not, I'll still reject you either way." I said as I stepped away from Monika.
"And I'll keep persisting." Monika said innocently, "Where are you going?"
I was just about to step out before Monika asked her question.
"Food." I replied back.
I went to the kitchen to grab a bag of chips.
By the time I got back to my room. Monika was sitting near my fold-out table, where she was looking at my Tags that I worked on last night.
"Looks like you're getting better." she said as she flipped the page.
"Guess I am." I said as I sat in front of her.
"Not gonna sit right next to me? I won't bite you know?" She said before giving me a small smile, "...Unless you want me to~"
"No thanks. I'm into that kind of stuff." I said as I ate some chips, "But I do want to ask something from you."
Monika dropped her smile and had a neutral face on, "And that is?"
"Tell Sayori about Yesterday. About what the club was actually meant for. " I said to her.
Monika had that same neutral face on as she laid back and thought about it, "No. I don't think I will." Monika said as she looked at me with a straight face, "Besides, why should I? You really couldn't care less about any of the club members or the club itself, so why should I do that for you?"
Shit. She's got me there…
Ugh….
I'm really gonna regret saying this…
"Fine. Name it." I told her.
Monika looked at me weirdly, "Pardon?"
"I do you a solid, you do me a solid. Fair Enough?" I said as the last of my pride was sucked out.
Monika had this amused look on he face as she heard me, "Oh? What's this? Are you trying to negotiate with me in the form of a favor?" She teased, "My, my Jun. I'd never think you'd step low enough for a favor from me."
"I couldn't care less for any other members of the Literature Club, yourself included, but I'm not gonna let Sayori be used for some stupid anti-popularity bullshit." I told her, "Go on. Name what you want from me. No, you're Virginity will be kept."
"Always a vulgar person. Fine. If that's what you want, then so be it." Monika said before she stood up and squatted next to me, "You, Jun Nishimura, are going to be my boyfriend for the week!" She said happily.
Fuck.
"Fuck." I blurted out loud.
"No But's from here on out. You wanted a favor from me, and this is how you earn one." Monika said happily as she get close to me, "Even if it's for one week, I'll definitely make the most it~"
Monika clung onto my arm as she said those words.
I've officially sold my soul to the Devil…
Sayori started to make some noises as she began to wake up.
"Well, looks who already up." Monika said as she walked over to the slightly woken up Sayori.
Sayori sleepily got up and looked at Monika, "What's with all the noise…" she grumbled.
"Oh it's nothing. It's just that Jun here lost a bet and is gonna have to accept his punishment from me." Monika said innocently.
Sayori turned her head over here and smiled at me as she laughed, "Haha….you suck." she said as she made fun of me.
"So what does he have to do as punishment?" Sayori said as she rubbed her eyes.
"He has to do what I say for an entire week." Monika told her.
Sayori gasped in realisation as she heard this, "Make him your butler!" Sayori said excitedly
"Sayori stop talking." I said as I gave her a slight glare.
"You know, that's not a bad idea. In terms of discipline, no one could beat a Butler…" Monika said as she looked at me with a sly look, "But we'll save that for tomorrow Jun…"
Monika grabbed her bag as she headed began to leave, "It's getting pretty late and my father doesn't like when I come home late. I'll see you tomorrow Sayori. I'll be waiting at the front gate for you Jun."
With that, Monika left my room and headed downstairs.
Sayori started to stretch her arms on my bed, "Man, how long did I fall asleep for? Gotta study for tomorrow's test. Oh, but I will share my notes with you Jun. You don't have to worry about that Jun. Jun?"
Sayori called out to me as I was sort of deep in thought.
Part of me wondered whether or not if I should tell Sayori not to hang around Monika too long. Mainly because she is using for her own purposes.
I know that Monika's own goal is something that doesn't seem that bad, but it just leaves a bad taste in my mouth knowing that there's a chance that she doesn't actually care for the people around her.
I don't want Sayori to get caught up in that and have some kind of repeat of last-
"JUN!" Sayori said loudly in front of my face.
I was brought out of my mind as she called out to me, "Jeez! I can't tell if you're ignoring me on purpose or not. Is there something wrong?" she asked.
This could be my opportunity to do so…
Hold on. No. Monika might be suspicious about me if Sayori starts acting strange…
Fuck!
"It's nothing. Just overthinking on how bad Monika is gonna wring me out with this whole, 'You're my slave for a week' thing." I said as I lied.
"She said Butler, not slave." Sayori corrected me, "Don't worry, it won't be that bad. If it gets too bad, I'll make sure to step in and make Monika tone it down."
"So don't worry too much about it!" Sayori said with a bright and cheery smile.
It times like these where I really envy being Sayori and having some of her positivity. It makes me glad that I have her as a friend.
"Thanks. You're right, it might not be that bad. Thanks Sayori." I said to her back.
"Right! Now I should probably go before I get sick again. I'll talk to you later Jun." Sayori said as she got off my bed, grabbed her bag, and was about to head out.
"Hey, Jun?" she asked before leaving.
"Yeah?" I answered back.
"Are you sure there isn't anything else you wanna talk to me about?" She said in a slightly concerned tone.
With Sayori being my childhood friend of 14-15 years, of course it'd be obvious to tell whether or not if one of us was lying.
I'm really thankful for that.
"Yeah, I am. Unless you want to listen to me complain about life?" I said to her.
Sayori sighed as she dropped her head, "Complaining about life and hating people doesn't count as asking for help."
Sayori opened my door and left with that.
I sighed as I got up and sat on my bed.
God this is gonna be a long week for me…
I was just about to lie down for a bit and go on my phone until I felt something wet near my head.
I got up instantly and looked at the small puddle of drool on my pillow from Sayori's nap.
Ok.
I'm gonna bleach these sheets now…
