The Request

Yuri POV

"Could I ask something first?" Natuski asked. She tilted her head which made her little pigtails swing. I smiled fondly. I was keen to befriend this girl, she certainly gave off the impression that you shouldn't mess with her. 

"Of course!" Monika replied.

"Yeah, so, I have this manga collection and was wondering if I could keep it in the clubroom? I'm keeping it in a little store cupboard at the moment but I don't want to get caught. So... could I?" 

The nerve of this girl! She had only been here 5 minutes and thought she could make requests such as this! If she loved manga so much, she should have joined the anime club. I sniffed disapproveingly behind my book. Monika shot me a look.

"Of course Natsuki! The cupboard can be used by anyone in the club! You have to join first-"

"Yep, I'll join!" The pink haired girl cried quickly. She must really like manga

"Great! We'll all help you with it!" Monika smiled. I looked over to see Sayori bouncing on the balls of her feet, and Monika smiling at Natsuki, who I could tell was excited. They all seemed excited part from me. I made an immature hmph noise, which I immediatly regretted.

"Come on Yuri, you should help to!" Sayori piped up, "After all, you keep your tea set in here!"

"Sayori..." I muttered, humiliated. Natsuki had a smug smile on her face. I wanted to slap that piggish expression off her face. I no longer wanted to make friends with her, no matter what impression she gave of. I swallowed.

"I-I... uhm-" I stammered stupidly. It was me against them, and I couldn't argue with them. I would lose the few friends that I had gained.

"Oh all right." I sighed wearily, putting my book away with a heavy heart. My spirits were lowered even further by seeing Natsuki's triumphant expression. This girl had made me feel three feet tall in less than two minutes. If I did not hate her, I would have become fascinated by her.

"Come on then!" Monika exclaimed, leading us out of the club room. We all followed, Monika leading the way, and behind, the pink haired girl who got her way and made me feel like shit. I glared daggers at the back of her head.

I hated Natsuki.
