After around 3 hours of me and Yuri messing about with shit, namely truth or dare and other stupid things, we decided to go to sleep. Afterall, we can't be too late to the festival, can we? And all in all, I think we did pretty well...
And the truth or dare games were fun.... It was hilarious to hear Yuri shouting a swear word.... And reading from 50 shades of grey... and I'll admit, the group chat 'confession' was pretty funny... and I'd say that this sleepover is a success!
I'm glad I got to bond with Yuri...
I'm just sorry for everything....
I hope I can make it up to you...
I close my eyes sighing.
I hope I did well in my biology test...
( AN- the biology test is more important than you think... and that's not just Monika's ( and my ) obsession with good grades... let's just call it the 'domino effect'... but I can't give too much away! )

"Come here, my pretty~"
Yoshi pushes a girl against the wall, eyeing her almost hungrily.
"Let... let me go, Yoshi... please..."
The girl stammers.
"Nono.... You're too pretty... come to daddy, little girl"
He pervertedly strokes her cheek.
"Get off me!"
The girl tries to push him off but he cuts her off with a kiss.
Ugh... he looks like he's eating her up...
"Mff! S-stop!"
I hear a voice.
"Yoshiiiiiiii~cmon! You have so many other girls... why'd you pick the freak?"
I turn.
It's Aoi.
But then that means that the girl is...
None other than Yuri herself...
"Help... please...Monika.."
—————————
I wake up in a cold sweat.
Yuri.... Where is she???
Oh yeah... I let her sleep on the couch...
Even as I reassure myself, I feel a deep pit of dread form in my stomach.
Surely I dreamt this by coincidence? It must be...
Only my mind could make up something so twisted...
Agh. Fuck, I'm thirsty...
I grab my phone for a flashlight and head downstairs for my water.
I make my way quietly through the area where Yuri is sleeping and into the kitchen, grabbing some water.
Then, I make my way back to where Yuri is sleeping.
I wonder what she looks like when she's asleep...
What? Why would I care?
But my body moves of it's own accord towards Yuri.
Feeling slightly apprehensive, I shine my flashlight in her face.
No shit....
I feel all the air leave me as I gaze, stunned, at this beauty.
She looks so peaceful.... With her eyelids fluttering, her cheeks accentuated by the moonlight; smooth-looking and so perfect, her hair splayed out on the pillow behind her, and her soft, plump lips... making regular breathing patterns...
I have to take a photo of this...
I reach for my phone, and go on camera mode, before photographing the picturesque beauty lying next to me.
Snap!
And, done-
In my haste, I accidentally drop my phone, which, thankfully, does not land on Yuri, but-
Thump!
I wince as it lands on the floor and hastily bend down to pick it up.
Did she-
"Monika? What are you doing here?"
Shit.
I quickly get up.
"I was... ahm... getting a drink of water! And then on my way back I dropped my phone so..."
I lamely pause mid-sentence like the idiot I am.
"Ok...."
She pauses, before a cheeky smile forms on her face.
"Are you sure you didn't just stop by for the extravagant beauty that is moi?"
Cheeky bitch.... She knows me too well.... But I can't let her know that....
"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, Yuri."
"And you, according to me, are the opposite of the word 'beautiful',"
She puts a hand to her chest mock-offended.
"Well- Natsuki thinks otherwise, and so do you, actually! Afterall, actions speak louder than words... well, that is, if you count typing as an action!"
I gape at her, shocked.
Shit...
—————————
Buffsuki
*whispers* I don't blame u if u do like her..... she is quite the beauty....
—————
Miss President
*Whispers* you know... you do have a pretty sexy figure...
————————
I chuckle.
"Yeah, you got me there, I guess..."
"Knew it! Anyway, goodnight Monika! Unless you want to stare a little longer~"
I stick my tongue out at her and make my way upstairs.
Lord almighty... this girl will be the death of me...
I shake my head, still smiling, before I realise something.
Shit. I forgot the water...
—————————————
Beep beep! Beep beep!
Good morning to you too, oh mighty alarm...
I shut off the alarm and get out of bed.
Shiiiiiiit... today's the day of the festival....
A pit of nerves and excitement forms in my stomach when I realise something...
Goddammit! I forgot to write a poem- wait. I can use the one I wrote... regret, I think it was called? Yeah... that'll work...
I smile.
Yeah. Today is going to be a good day.
I put on my uniform and head downstairs.
Hmm... I wonder if Yuri's awake... probably not, seeing as she doesn't have an alarm... oh well! Better wake her up, I suppose...
I gently open the living room door-
"Gah! Monika!"
Before I can register what happened, Yuri pushes me out of the room and slams the door shut.
What?..... oh....
I feel a blush creeping up to my face.
Shit... I should've knocked... good thing I didn't see anything...
( AN- NO THAT IS A VERY BAD THING!!!!! IF YOU HAD SEEN HER YOU WOILDVE BEEN ABLE TO HELP YOUR FUTURE GF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! )
I knock on the door.
"Can I... come in?"
As a response, I feel the door open, and there stands Yuri.
Cute as always...
She shyly twirls her hair and wears and almost... scared expression?
"G-good morning, Monika...."
She casts her gaze towards the ground.
"Hey, it's okay... I didn't look or anything, alright?"
She looks up.
"Of course..."
She mumbles before shuffling into the room.
I myself make my way towards the kitchen, eager to make a good impression with breakfast.
Oh, who am I kidding? I barely make anything for myself- wait... there's some frozen miso soup in the fridge... maybe I can heat it up for both of us?
Yeah... that would work....
I make my way towards the fridge and take out the miso soup, before putting it in the microwave.
Then I get some chopsticks and place them on the table.
Beep beep! Beep beep!
Already...? Fine...
I go to the microwave and get out the miso soup.
Gah! It's hot...
I gently pour some into the two bowls and place them on the table.
Okay... now I'll go get Yuri...
I make my way into the living room to find Yuri reading a book.
Wow... she looks so entranced... maybe I can use that to my advantage...
Unbeknownst to the reading beauty ( AN- see what I did? Sleeping beauty? Reading beauty? Eh, never mind... ) I creep up right behind her.
Dah! Her hair looks so soft and perfect....
Shut up! Concentrate...
With a smile I place my hands on her shoulders and lean into her ear.
"Breakfast's ready~"
Yuri jumps violently.
"Monika! You scared me..."
Despite her initial fright, Yuri wears a smile on her face.
"And... did you say breakfast? What did you get ready, chef Monika?"
"Well... it's a very rare and special delicacy in Japan... I'm sure you've heard of it, being the person of culture you are... for breakfast is none other than the famous miso soup!"
Yuri chuckles at that.
"My, Monika! I never expected such talent from you! How many blood sweat and tears did you shed whilst putting said miso soup in the microwave? ''Tis meticulous work indeed..."
I giggle at that.
None of my other friends are this quick-witted... saracasm flies right over their heads...
As we enter the kitchen, I pass Yuri the chopsticks and we begin eating.
"So, Monika... since today's the festival... do we get the entire school day off?"
"Yep."
I reply, whilst chewing my food, before and epiphany strikes me.
( AN- oH nO wE ArE sTUcK iN a ViDeO gAmE!!! )
"Yuri... how come you don't know this? I mean.. you're a student of the school aren't you?"
She chews methodically.
"Well... you see... I'm a transfer student from Tokyo... my parents are both lawyers on million-dollar cases but we recently lost our house there due to- well... never mind. Anyway, we still have our house here so it isn't that bad... so I was transferred from Tamagawa academy... to, well, here..."
Well.. that explains why she knows the material so well...
( AN- for those that don't know- Tamagawa school is actually one of the best private schools in Tokyo )
"So that's why you aren't familiar with the festival?"
"...Yes."
She spoons up the last of her miso soup and starts heading out.
I do the same.
As we're out of the house, we make some small talk... well, really, big talk. It's more of us just... firing random questions at each other- like a questionnaire, almost. It's... fun, unlike with my other friends...
Soon enough, we reach the school gate.
"Soo.... Where do we go now?"
Yuri questions me.
"Umm..."
I say, not because I am lost in thought or anything like that.
Simply, because I am distracted by the sight of Aoi.
Glaring daggers right into me and Yuri.
Shit.
