These lads mean thoughts/thinking in your head.
Just to get it out the way
—————————————————————————————————————————————

Today was the day you were going to try to make a new friend. You got out of bed with butterflies in your stomach. It gave you chills even thinking about the confrontation. You shook it off and met with with Sayori to walk. While walking with her you began thinking on how to talk to Natsuki. You first thought on how to start conversation at the Literature Club,you could make a poem that would be about her interests! You then realized you really knew nothing about her except that she likes cute things. Her cupcakes showed great evidence of that fact and Monika stated so. The only other thing you could think of was asking her about things she likes. "Nah that's to straight-forward."

"What's to straight-forward?"

You stood still. "Whoops"

"Well?" Sayori said with a grin.

"W-Well I was just uh......" Your mind went blank.

"Why are you so flustered (F)? What are you thinking about? Or should I say who?"

You were practically dying inside. She knew exactly how to push all your buttons. You couldn't think it could get any worse. But you had to decide to spill it all right there. Your plan thoughts and all. You couldn't believe yourself spilling all the beans like that.

" Wow I couldn't think that you would try to make a friend. Or are you gonna try to make it more~?" Sayori was practically laughing by now. You got all red. Thinking about you being with Natsuki made your heart beat a little faster, but you denied the fact of liking her. She would never date a guy like you anyways.

"Well now that you know maybe you can help me out." You said with a hint of
annoyance.

"Sure. One thing I know is that Natsuki loves manga. There, that's all I'll say lover boy." Now she did it. It was time to bring out the secret weapon, the silent treatment. It was only given to the roughest of criminals, and now she was one. The rest of the walk you were to ignore any and all attempts at conversation from her. On the way there you could tell it was getting to her.

"(F).......Why won't you talk to me........" Sayori said with a saddened tone. Then from the look of her face it seemed the pieces came together. She than gave you playful glare. "Oh, I see your game. I won't fall for it either. She then began to walk in front of you for the rest of the way to school. You parted ways once you got to the front. You wanted to find Natsuki as soon as possible. You got to school early which is rare due to Sayori's sleeping habits. While looking for her you kicked yourself for not asking Sayori where Nasuki usually hangs around. You went to library, she does go a Literature Club plus Sayori said she likes manga. Sadly she was not there but Yuri was. It didn't seem like Natsuki and Yuri were the closest of friends but you doubted they didn't like each other. So you decided to ask her for help.

She looked up to you and gave you a warm smile, "(F) nice to see you, what's going on?"

"Hey Yuri have you seen Natsuki around? I've been looking for her all morning." You replied and gave a smile back.

"Oh sure, we talked this morning at the cafeteria, maybe she's still there."

" Thanks gal, see you later." You went straight to the cafeteria after talking to Yuri. When entering you saw familiar pinked hair lady looking longingly at food. She had her manga on the table behind her, maybe she reads the same ones as you. You wondered why she looked so hungry, doesn't she eat breakfast? You decided to ask her later. You began walking towards her. She seemed to hear you because she turned to face you. She seemed surprised to see you there.

"What are you doing here?!" She said quite loudly. Being the sassy boy you are you retorted, "Shouldn't you expect people to be in an open place like the cafeteria?!" She looked at you with a glare.

"Hmph." She turned her face away from you. "What do you want?"

You started panicking a bit since you completely forgot what you were going to say. Then you remembered her looking at the food. Maybe you could try to get on her good side.

"So... you hungry?" You said with some nervousness.

"Why do you assume that hmm?" She replies sassily.

"Well you looked sorta hungry when you were looking at that food. I thought you might want some of mine?" You said with a kind smile on your face. She stood there for a second. Her face began to have a tint of red.

"Why do you care if I'm hungry or not?"

"Well I don't a pretty lady like you should go hungry now, don't you think?" You don't know why you started speaking cowboy but you went with it. She began blushing harder than before. She looked as if she was about to burst with embarrassment. She then cooled a little.

"Fine" She looked at you expectantly. "So?!"

"O-Oh right." You then began to unpack your lunch. You weren't much of a cook, but you could make a mean sandwich. You took it out and gave it to her. What's one day without eating if it's for someone you like. Well not like but...... never-mind. She began to eat it all fast. You looked at her in shock, you didn't expect a small girl eat with such animosity.

"So did you skip breakfast or something?" You asked with fear.

"Yeah, I did." She said with some hesitation. Why'd she hesitate? You decided not to push further since things seemed to be going well.

"Thank you for that, you seem pretty nice. You felt proud of yourself for gaining a complement. "For a stick in the mud." And all your happiness was gone. You grew flustered at her teasing.

"You look redder than the tomato in this sandwich!" She said in laughter. Though it was true that you hated breaking rules, you said so in the club yesterday, but that does not make you a stick in the mud!

"Hey says the kitty queen!" You weren't great with comebacks. She looked at you a smile that could melt the coldest heart. She stood up and looked at you.

"Thank you again, chef." She giggled and walked away. You felt good about that. It was around time for classes to begin. You couldn't wait for club.
