I suddenly woke up, finding myself on my bed with a splitting headache. I looked around the room, finding that no one is here. I sat up and found myself surprised to find breakfast on my nightstand. It was nothing more but a simple plate of bacon and eggs and note was written beside it, and from the handwriting I could tell it was Sayori's. I smiled before taking the fork and taking in a small morsel of food.

Eat well and go to school! I have something to tell you!" After reading, I looked at the clock and it read 6:00 am on a Tuesday.

Ah right, I blacked out yesterday... Must've been a sugar crash.

I found my breakfast delicious albeit lacking in salt. I finished the meal quickly and immediately took a shower. After which, I immediately got dressed and headed towards school. I found it, however, that my parents paid no heed to me. Nevertheless, I decided to continue and walk my normal route.

I managed to make it to my school just as the school bells rung. As I walked down the hallways, however, I felt that something was off... Like something is out of place. I headed towards my classroom, and took a sit on my desk.

I was about to pull out my homework when I felt something was really off. I looked up from my desk to ask one of my classmates, but then...

I found myself in an empty room devoid of life.

My heart sank as I saw this, and I immediately began to panic. I stood up and began to look around. Fear and terror gripped at me as I slowly lost my strength to stand. Then the voices began, but this time, they were louder and more real. Now I know this wasn't caused by too much sugar, but by something else. Something more sinister.

The whispers now became screeching, and I couldn't help but vomit and claw at my skin at the sound of the agonized voices. Then I saw the symbols and numbers appear before me once more, now it was all I could see. A scream left my lips as my head felt a stinging pain. For a moment, I just wanted all of this to end, just end my misery. Then, I glimpsed a pair of emerald green eyes in the distance and a sinister grin with it.

Then all of it just stopped.

I found myself sitting on my chair, pen in hand and five minutes just before the class ends. It was like a nightmare, a nightmare that made me miss nearly the entire day. I can't help but quake in terror at what just happened to me.

The bells rang loudly and it snapped me out of the thoughts that currently plagued me. I looked up to find students flooding out of the classroom doors. I slowly stood up, only to find myself falling back on my chair. Nausea and dizziness suddenly hit me and struck me down. I laid my head down for a moment and closed my eyes. Perhaps by sleeping for a while I can get rid of the pain.

"Hyun! Wake up! Wake up you sleepy head!"

I barely started my nap when Sayori woke me up. I looked up to see her smiling face. Her clear, blue eyes stared at me like a puppy's while her smile shone more brightly like the sun. For a moment, I felt happy and at ease. Then for a split second, I saw the words "Mask" scribbled all over her face. I blinked my eyes and the words were gone.

"You ready for the thing I'm about to show you? I was about to show you yesterday, but you suddenly got sick."
Sayori beamed brightly.
"Yeah... sorry about that... Shall we go?"

Sayori and I walked through the eerily silent halls of the school corridors. Sayori hummed happily while she lead towards some secluded room in one of the campus' many buildings. As we neared it, however, Sayori finally decided to break the silence.

"Ehehe... About the surprise..."
"What is it anyway?"
"Well... remember when I told you that I am a vice president of a club?"
"Let me guess, you signed me up."
"Yeah... well, one of our members made cupcakes."
"Oh? Well, I hope they're delicious then! I won't mind joining this club if they are."
Sayori smiled and remained silent although her smile did not leave her lips.

We neared the door of this club, the one called "The Literature Club". I could hear two voices from within the room, arguing over something. Sayori opened the door and thus, today marks the day I...

Something is very wrong in this place. It's all wrong.
There is something sinister in here...

But I'm still joining this club.
