Stardust

by teamsayoridub

Six months after the horrifying events that were solved with a time machine and sadly, a dead club president. The new four, Rivers, Sayori, Natsuki, and Yuri are back and happier than ever. Finally, everyone's problems are resolved. But then why does Sayori seem sad again, or a specific person is being drawn on the walls? (Warning: crippling depression, action in a car, & bad puns)

4. If You're Wondering

I went to school on Monday. It was probably the most upsetting day ever. I just slept and slept. I got three detentions. I didn't go, though. I'll never have to deal with them.

I went to the Literature Club, where Sayori and everyone was preparing for the poems. I saw Yuri in the back corner. I needed someone to talk to.

"Hey, I need help," I told her

"What?" she responded quietly.

I told her the whole situation with Natsuki. How I felt, everything.

"I would probably tell her. Not right now though."

"Why not?"

She handed me Sayori's poem, that fell on the floor.

Florida Honey

Rain, storms, surging.

When does sporadic rain

turn into the hurricane

that breaks towns

Bringing the whole world down.

I'm tired of my life in Florida.

But I stay.

I don't leave

Despite the rain that besieges me

Because the only thing that keeps me sunny.

Is the sweet taste of Florida-made honey.

"Okay, so she's talking about about Florida," and that's when it hits me. Rainclouds. Her word for depression. How could've I been so dumb? Maybe she knows. Maybe she hates me. Maybe she hates herself. But she can't and won't leave either. Because of the Florida honey. What does that mean?

I guess she has a way of making words so subtle, even with depression.

My poem is much worse.

Littleton

A small city on the mounts

Two estranged kids never given sound

Never shown love or care

So they turned to violence for their despair.

Video games showed them the way.

And on that cold April day.

Entering at the lunch hour.

Walking out with blood upon the state flower.

Everybody was also confused. I told them it's about the pains of being ignored and lied to. But that's not true. You want a deeper explanation? No? Well, you're getting it. A state with mounts is Colorado. The state flower of Colorado is the columbine, for which a certain high school where these two students attended was named. I think now you can get it.

Natsuki's was weird. It was about chickens. And Yuri's was about a fictional lady who is turned on to heroin by her brother. That's it. I drive home and I grab my things. I'm gonna skip school for the next day. I'm off. I gave Sayori a letter, confession. I think I'll feel better.

(Rivers fourth wall note: sorry for the short chapter? a second follow-up chapter is coming soon.)
