She just sat there, decorating her cupcakes with a gentle hand. I smiled as I watched my cute friend go about her passion! We sat in the school kitchen, baking sweets for our literature club that Monika and Sayori had started; it was myself, Natsuki, Sayori, Monika, and Yuri.
"So cute!" squealed Natsuki, leaning back in her chair. I giggled as I watched her; puffing out her cheeks, she nudged me and shoved a tray of cupcakes in my hands, grabbed the second one, and motioned for me to follow her to the classroom. Sayori looked wide-eyed at the food we carried; we placed the trays down and watched as Sayori left the room with a growling stomach.
"So why did we make cupcakes?" I asked, not sure why everyone seems a bit nervous and excited.
"Sayori said she would bring a new member today and that we should have cupcakes!" Monika said, smiling.

Sayori had brought in a childhood friend of hers and he seemed nice but I didn't like the way he looked at us. Something seemed off but that could just me. We all chatted and ate cupcakes before it was time to leave; I walked home with Natsuki every day to make sure she felt safe and we did live close to each other.
"Thank you for walking with me again, (y/n). I'll see you tomorrow!" I waved goodbye and hoped she'd be fine with her dad. As I walked home, my head became heavy as the sky turned dark and I walked back into the club classroom to see everyone here except Sayori.
"I'll help Natsuki." My eyes landed on the new member; the festival was about to start and we needed help with getting things ready. It seems the new guy wants to help my friend; not cool! My face turned red with jealousy as I watched my crush blush at his help.

Sayori wasn't at school again today and we sent the new guy to check on her. That's when my world collapsed. Cold. Dark. Natsuki stood a few feet in front of me, her eyes lifeless and dark.
"Nat-Natsuki? What's going on?" I reached for her shoulders. Jerking her head to the right, Natsuki rushes at me with scrambled eyes. My eyes bled, it landed on my hands as I sank into the darkness that surrounded me.
Why did you say Okie doki?
