Author's Note:
This is part of a fan fiction for Doki Doki Literature Club I started writing a while back. It was too ambitious of a project for me to take on as the first story I ever write. Instead of writing the whole thing, I started writing key moments I wanted to have happen. Instead of writing them for fun and never showing anyone, I figured I'd release parts, and if I feel like writing the whole thing I might revisit it and turn it into a full story.
Side note: sorry for dropping Home from School. I just came up with so many ideas for different types of stories and I started writing them, but haven't finished them. I don't want to release something I don't finish, but I want to release stuff on here regularly. So be prepared for multiple shorter stories, I'm going to make sure I finish some that I've started. Thank you.

I think I should talk to Monika. Akito's my boyfriend and I'd usually tell him everything first, but Monika is probably feeling the worst right now.
I text her asking her if we could meet at the park and talk. She agreed.
I walk to the park and sit at the bench near the opening. Monika hasn't arrived yet, so I sit patiently, getting lost in thought.
M- Hey Yuri!
Y- Oh hi Monika.
M- How's it going?
She seems really cheerful. I can tell it's an act though. I wonder if I would've noticed if I didn't already know what's going on.
Y- Do you want to walk or sit down and talk together?
M- Uh... I'm fine with sitting for a while. I'm a bit tired from practice.
She sits down next to me with a worried look in her eyes, hidden behind a deceptive smile.
M- So, did you want to talk about something specific or did you just want to hang out?
I get nervous. I don't know how to approach this subject, and I regret doing this in the first place. I already started though, I need to commit.
Y- I wanted to talk about... Well, I know you like Akito...
Her smile now becomes a fully worried expression. I hate seeing her like this.
M- So... you knew...
She looks sad.
M- Did Akito tell you?
I shook my head.
M- What... all did he tell you?
Y- He didn't tell me you tried to kiss him, I overheard it myself.
She jumps, then looks off to the side, avoiding eye contact.
M- What do you mean you heard?
Y- When you left the clubroom and Akito followed you, I followed him. I didn't try to sneak, I just don't think anyone noticed me. I was going to see if everything was okay, then I heard you two talking. You told him how hard it was to keep your feelings in control, then you asked to kiss him...
M- Wait, so you hid around the corner and eavesdropped on us?
I shook my head.
M- I suppose it's not right for me to be the angry one here.
Y- I'm not angry...
We looked at each other. I feel so guilty about putting her through this. I want to make things right.
Monika sighs.
M- I guess this has gone too far, huh? I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. I thought I keep control my feelings but it's so hard...
She starts tearing up. I gently place my hand on her knee. She gives me a curious look.
Y- It's okay Monika. You don't have to hide your feelings anymore.
She shakes her head but I don't think she knows what I mean.
Y- It's strange, I feel as though I should be mad at you. That's what most people would feel I think. But all I feel is sad that you're missing out.
