How well or unwell this club meeting would go would depend on how she and the other club members reacted to having Komi as their guest. Komi's popularity was no secret, so why was she interested in joining her small Literature Club? Also, why was she speaking by writing on a notebook? Was she a mute? Or was it some kind of weird prank? Meanwhile, Monika was feeling pretty nervous herself. She remembered it from when she saw it during the school festival. Before long, Komi could see the door coming up. They made their way back up to the second level of the school. Komi's breathing grew a little more rapid as she followed behind Monika. Komi nodded quietly and held her notebook down at her waist as she followed. ".y-yeah! Totally! I'll show you where it is." Monika said, gesturing for Komi to follow her. She blushed in embarrassment as she turned the notebook around and held it up in front of her face so that only her eyes could be seen peeking over it. She took a few seconds to write down one short question. Komi was still standing there by the bulletin board, her body turned halfway towards Monika. She started to move away, but then stopped and turned back. "Right! Yes! Actually, the others are probably waiting for me. Monika eyed it for a moment before nodding in understanding. Komi turned back towards the bulletin board and rested her finger on the flier posted there. "Oh! Yeah, haha, I am! How did you know about that?" Monika asked. Internally, she was proud of herself for being able to get right to the point. Are you on your way to the Literature Club meeting?" She asked. Komi stayed frozen for a little bit before finally bringing her hand forward and shaking hands with her in an overly gentle way. Nice to meet you!" She introduced herself and offered a handshake. She really wanted to deny that statement. You're pretty popular from what I hear." Monika said with a little laugh. Yeah, a lot of the students here talk about you, haha. Komi gasped a little and nodded her head quickly. You're Komi, right? Komi Shouko?" She asked. "'Have we met before?' Um.I don't think we have. Monika's eyes furrowed strangely at this weird and unexpected greeting, but she answered the question nonetheless. " Have we met before?" Komi wrote down on her notebook and held it up for Monika to read. Monika, who was taking a few moments to write some things down on her paper, didn't notice Komi staring at her until a couple seconds later. She wanted to find a way to start a conversation with her, but like so many times before, she had no idea what to do. Komi swallowed nervously and began to shake a little. She recognized her! She said her name was Monika, right? Yeah! She was one of the girls who had given her the flier to the Literature Club and invited her to come, the one that Yamai was talking about. She stepped away and turned to look at her. Her sudden appearance made Komi flinch in surprise. Sorry." A girl scooted past, coming up next to her in front of the school bulletin board. She didn't want to be too hard on herself, but it was difficult not to when acknowledging that simple fact. She still hadn't discovered for herself what it meant, and that was no one else's fault but her own. There was that phrase again – inviting her and taunting her at the same time. Komi stopped and turned towards the board, staring at the flier for a few frozen seconds before approaching it to look closer. She was again reminded of her hesitancy in this matter when she passed a school bulletin board and noticed the familiar Literature Club flier placed on it. It had been a couple days since she had made the resolve to attempt to join the Literature Club, but she was still working up the courage to actually go. After gathering her things at the end of the school day, Komi began making her way towards her shoe locker.
