"Monika?"

"Monika."

She stared at the scribbled face of her mother.
"Did you take your meds today?"
She nods, her body empty and emotionsless. These pills make her so dull and hungry.
Monika walks to her bedroom numb, and lays on her bed until her phone rings.

"Is club open today?" Sayori texts her. Crap, she forgot. Her brain is still fuzzy but she manages to get into her club uniform.
"Of course!  On my way." Monika replies. While leaving the house her mother stops her.

"You shouldn't go out yet. The meds will affect your behaviour. Stay home." Her mother says, but her words are all static like in Monika's head
"I'm fine." Monika says, as she leaves the house.

She's holding her binders with everything they plan to talk about today, and she looks down at the ground wandering how long she'll keep this up. Somebody pushed into her and she collapses to the ground. Her body's so weak, she just lays on the pavement.
"Oh my god, I'm so sorry!" They say, and kneel down and she sees he's a boy. He puts out his hand and she reaches out for it and he pulls her up.  "Here, your binder." He places it in her hand.

Monika feels something spark in her and she watches his mesmerising eyes. "Thank you..?"
"MC. You?"
"Monika! I think you go to the same school as me."
,"Yeah, I recognised you." He says, in a flirty way. Monika blushes slightly, but quickly shakes her head.
"MC. Do you wanna come to the club im hosting? You might be busy, but it'll be fun!"
He ponders a bit, but later agreed.
Monika stared into his eyes, and something hits her rock solid heart. This is love. She feels attraction to him. She..wants him. She shakes her head snd keeps her head low.

They chit chat about their intrests until they make it to the club room.
"Hey! Give me back my pack of cards!" Natsuki lunges onto Sayori playfully, and they start laughing hysterically. Yuri's reading in a corner peacefully.
They all turn to Monika and MC, and stare at him in awe.

"Monika, who's the new member?" Sayori leaps up and goes towards the two smiling happily.
"MC, you guys introduce yourselves while I plan the club meeting."

She puts down her binder on the front desk with a slam. Monika starts hyperventilating and staring at everything around her. Everything starts glitching out until she holds her breathe. "Not now." She thinks out loud and everything shifts back to place.

Natsuki hands out the cupcakes while Sayori and MC talk deeply.
"MC, do you like literature Alot?"
Sayori smiles, blushing lightly.
"Surprisingly I do, poems especially." He replies, and Sayori starts squealing.
"I love making poems! Your in luck, I'm working on one right now, you can come see!"

"Your jealous, aren't you?"
Monika hisses and balls her fist. "I am not." Monika mumbles and blows whistle. "Time for the club meeting!"

As Monika spoke about literature and the book the club we're focusing on, she couldn't help but look at Sayori and MC getting close. She rushed the presentation and went to talk with MC privately.
"Are you fitting in? Feeling comfortable?" She asked, smiling seductivly. MC blushes heavily, turned away and replied with a stuttered yes. She gave him the token of the address so he'll find his way next time. She bit her lip and pulled up her vest.

He went back to Sayori and was more silent, and stared more at Monika during the rest of the thing. Natsuki tried to give him a cupcake but Yuri quickly interrupted by claiming, "I made you a heartfelt poem, read it!" And shoving a piece of paper into his hands.

Monika was holding a piece of paper of her own in her hands and she, out of rage and anger, crushed it.
At the end of the club meeting Monika rushed out in tears and with the crumpled paper still in her hands.
"He's, Mine."
