Doki Doki Literature Club But It's More Psychotic (5/5)

Yuri found herself glaring at Natsuki. She couldn't tell if it was her irritation with her reading choices or jealousy from Kaito giving her attention. But her anxiety kept her mouth shut, and she took a book out of her bag, staring down at the pages but not reading them.

Monika was desperately trying to fill in the spaces of silence between conversation. She wondered why it was so awkward today but didn’t think much of it. “Who wants to Introduce themselves next?”

"Oh! Uh, I haven't read Black Butler in a while. I think I might have it in here somewhere…" Natsuki busies herself with looking in her large box of Mangas. After a while, she pulls one out. "Here it is! First volume! I need to reread this series anyway…" Natsuki starts reading, and her mind was paying more attention to Kaito than her book.
Natsuki, stop it! Monika ends up with her, anyway. But I can change that now, can't I?
A mischievous smile grew on Natsuki's face that she hid behind her book.
Time to have some fun.

Monika was still looking to the girls, Natsuki was fumbling around with her manga. “Pathetic” she whispered. “She’s smiling” Monika noticed, starting to panic. “That can never be good”. Glancing around the room to Sayori and Yuri, Monika got fed up and decided to get out a notebook and started to write a poem, completely forgetting about Katio.

Natsuki perked up, excited to be noticed. "Yeah! Um, what do you like to do for fun? Besides reading, I mean." Natsuki was generally impressed that she hadn't manipulated anything, and things were going her way for once.

"Oh! I like the plays you guys come up with! They're really fun! Let's see…besides this literature club, I'm in anime, gaming, and writing club." Natsuki had a happy smile on her face, and her Manga was on her desk, opened to her page.

"Oh, uh…not much, really. We read, write a little, and then talk some here and there. It's very laid back. I think someone like you'd love it here." Natsuki smiled, and she didn't know why. Usually, she'd be more of a pushover, even towards Katio, but she acted differently today.

Hearing this, Monika put down her empty notebook, stood up and walked to the front of the classroom. “At the literature club we do everything, well, literature! We share book recommendation and write poems as stories. Right now we are focusing more on poems as it’s a great way to express yourself and it’s something we can share to the group! I hope that’s okay with you guys?”

"Yes, it is this small. I'm sorry if you were expecting a bit…more than this." Natsuki smiled a little nervously once Monika spoke.

"Yeah. We have Monika, the president, Sayori, Yuri, and I. That makes four, plus you if you'd like to join, of course." Natsuki got out a piece of paper and began to write a short, simple poem.

"Um, yeah! Of course!" Natsuki chipped, seeming to be a bit happier than her usual self.

"Oh! Well then no wonder Sayori wanted me to come. If your the only members than you must be barely considered a club." Katio said looking around. "Don't you need at least four members to start a club?"

Slightly annoyed by being ignored, Monika took offence to Katio's comment, as harmless and well-meant as it was. "I'll have you know we are very much considered a club! erm I mean, yes we are a small group and I'm so glad you are willing to join, I hope you enjoy your first meeting! Do you guys wanna meet in the middle of the classroom and talk about poems?"

"what about you guys, I feel like I'm leaving you out a bit here with the excitement of a new member!" Monika lied, giving Katio her sweetest smile.

"Oh, yeah! Thanks for joining, even if we aren't much!" Natsuki quickly finishes writing and opens her Manga again.

(I'm here, I just can't really think of anything to do lmao)

(I don't know what to do either!)

(ohhh, didn't catch that part, sorry)
Yuri glanced up from her book, tuning into Monika's conversation, but staying silent. Speaking up was difficult for her without the script, but now her shyness seemed to be even worse.

Natsuki scowled at Monika before coming to the center of the room, a Manga in her right hand while she crossed her arms. She stayed quiet, but couldn't help but make quick glances at Katio.

(what are we doing right now?)
