"Henry. Please join. You would love the literature club." Wally begged his friend Henry, as they walked to their lockers. This year they were next to each other and for the pass month Wally's been wanting Henry to join their little book club after school.

It wasn't like Henry didn't want to hang out with Wally, he did. They have been best friends since they were kids. He just wasn't sure that was what he wanted to do. He was an artist not a book worm, Art was his thing.
But he didn't like to see his friends sad and eventually he gave it to Wally's request. "Alright Wally." He replied opening his locker and getting his books for the next class, history. "I'll come check it out today."

"Yay!" Wally jumped around with happiness and a big smile across his face that Henry loves to see. "Thank you Henry! Meet me outside room 278 after school!"

Henry nodded. "Will do Wally." He shuts his locker just as the bell rang. "See you then!" He said with a wave as they go there separate classes.

  The school day drags on for hours but eventually 3 o'clock finally came and everyone rushed outta there classes, some to get home others to hurry to their clubs or sports. Henry searched for the room Wally told him to go and found it within minutes. Outside Wally was there waiting and when he saw him that big smile came. "Henry toy came!"

He nodded. "Of course! I never back down on my promise."

"That's true." Wally replied. "Come on in! Meet the others! Sammy even brought cake today!"

Henry followed Wally inside the class room and was amazed at how it looked. It was a regular classroom with desk and all but they made it more cozy. They had a soft chair in the back corner for anyone to read on and there was soft yellow fairy lights hung up on the ceiling. Calm low music played from the radio next to the chocolate cake and drinks. A long bookshelf ran under the windows and quotes from different book lined the walls.

"It's so...relaxing In here." Henry stated looking around the room.

"Thank you kind stranger" said a tall brown haired boy walking up. "You must be Wally's friend, Henry. Welcome to the literature club. I'm Joey."

Henry nodded in response. "I am. And thank you Joey! It actually looks fun! What all do y'all do here?"

Joey prompted himself on a desk before answering. "We read books of all kind. Horror, poetry, the classics. He decide on something and read that." He paused for a minute before continuing. "We also right short stories and poems."

Henry nodded while listening. "That sounds fun but I don't think I can write poems." He chuckled.

"Nonsense." Joey chuckled with him, waving his head away. "It's easy! If you join I'll teach you how to write poetry."

"Really?" Henry ask, feeling a bit excited to learn something new.

"Of course!" Joey nodded. "My mother taught me when I was young. Now I'm teaching these boys." Joey gestures to the other boys.

Henry accepted his offer. "Yeah. Alright. I'll join!"

Joey smiled in excitement. "That's great! We should celebrate! Good thing Sammy brought cake!" He announced. "Come. Meet the other two!" He wrapped his arm around Henry leading him to the table where the others were heading.

Henry sat down next to Wally as Joey handed out pieces of cake and drinks. That hour he got to know the the three more better. Joey was the leader and starter of the club. He love to read the classic books like, to kill Mockingjay, and enjoyed writing about love. Jack was quite opposite from him. He loved reading manga and climes that it is literature. His favorite being the promised Neverland. The last boy, Sammy was the shortest out of all of them. His thing was dark and creepy literature. Anything Edgar Allan Poe he loved. Henry also found out Wally's favorite books were funny books. Anything that would make you laugh in tears he would read and Henry found that suited his friend.
