"Urata wasn't there when we discussed our favorite genres and I have no idea what he might write, so it'll be interesting to read his story! After I share mine with him, surely!" - with those thoughts, Sakata headed to Urata's desk. The brunet seemed to be surprised for a second but quickly changed his expression.

"Let's see that you've written" - the boy took a piece of paper from Sakata's hands. When he read it, he became silent. Sakata began to worry.

"You were supposed to write something stupid..." - Urata quietly mumbled

"Eh?" - the redhead wasn't sure that he heard the boy's words correctly.

"Geez, don't make me say that... Your poetry isn't bad, I don't want to share my impressions with you" - the brunet said, frowning

"It's not fair! There's no sense of sharing our stories in that case. I could've done other things instead of writing the verse! So, please, tell me your opinion. I'll understand, anyway" - Sakata shouted

"You're so annoying... I've already said that your story is good, what else do you need?" - Urata rolled his eyes

"I don't remember that you said that... Oh, remember that you need to show your poetry, too?" - the redhead stared at his friend in confusion

Urata silently handed his notebook to Sakata

"I don't think that you'll like it, though" - the brunet uttered

Urata's poetry was about autumn in the forest. Sakata felt cozy while was reading.

"I said that you wouldn't like it" - Urata muttered

"I liked it" - Sakata replied

"Eh? Don't lie to me" - the brunet angrily said, scowlingly watching at Sakata.

"I don't! Why are you so certain about me hating your poetry?" - the redhead exclaimed. He didn't understand why Urata'd thought that he won't like the story

"Because... all my classmates believe that the style of writing must be complicated. They don't take my creations seriously" - Urata  quietly said, adverting his gaze

"Isn't that stupid? I mean, no matter how you write, more important is what about you write." - Sakata responded. He wasn't familiar with that type of problems, but he felt bad for Urata

"...Thank you" - the brunet blushed

"You're welcome, Ura-san!" - Sakata smiled brightly

"Hey Sakata! Do you want to exchange poems?" - right after sharing poems with Urata, Sakata noticed Shima

"Yes, sure!" - he answered, trying to analyze the exchanged situation, and handed to the purple-haired his story. Shima quickly read it

"Hmm... It's not bad, I guess... Right in your style" - he calmly spoke

"What do you mean?" - Sakata asked in confusion

"I kinda expected that type of story from you. I don't know, you seem to be a person who would write cheerful and happy poetry... I simply prefer horror stories to happy ones, but they are still great. Would you like to see mine, by the way?" - Shima explained

"Yep~" - the redhead agreed.

Shima's poem was about ghosts in the old house. To tell the truth, Sakata hadn't thought that a book can be frightening, before that one.

"Wow! It actually was scary... You're extremely talented in that!" - he tried to express his emotions

"www I knew that" - Shima proudly said, laughing

"Hm..." - Soraru was staring at Sakata's poem for three minutes

"What is hm?" - Sakata began to worry

"It's your first time writing poetry, am I right?" - the raven-haired stared, not adverting his gaze from the poetry

"Yes, I suppose..." - the redhead replied

«It's not bad at all. But you made mistakes which are typical for beginners.
You feel unsure about your style, so you are trying to make it more interesting or complicated, forgetting about the sense or making it hard to guess. But you should forget about it for now - you'll create a great style with practice." - while speaking, Soraru became more and more confident

"You seem to be a professional in this! Thank you for the advice!" - Sakata was amused by Soraru's critics

"You're welcome." - the raven-haired smiled

«Can I read your poem now?" - Sakata suggested

"Of course!" - the boy hesitantly gave Sakata his poetry. It was a mysterious story about the time.

"I like this story! Even though it was not long, it was really moving" - Sakata tried his best to make the raven-haired feel okay about sharing his poem

"I'm glad that you liked it. To be honest, I prefer writing longer stories, but I chose this one" - Soraru said

"Don't worry, it was perfect" - the redhead replied
-----
"Sakatann! Let's exchange stories!" - Sakata spotted an albino running with the poetry to him

"Sure, Mafu-kun!" - he exclaimed
They were handing each other stories at the same time.
Mafu's story was about two friends making a pinkie-promise.

"It's wonderful and very happy!" - said Mafu after reading the redhead's story

"Thanks, your is amazing, too!" - Sakata smiled.

"Let's see that you've written" - Senra took Sakata's poem, read it and began to laugh

"Eh?" - Sakata prepared himself for the worst. "Was it that bad?" - he thought

"I'm sorry, I've just remembered something funny. " - Senra paused -  "To tell the truth, I can't impartially estimate your poetry, because it kinda reminds me about our childhood. Huh, you hadn't changed much since this time..." - the blonde said, remembering those days

"I understand... Then everything seemed easier." - Sakata remembered it, too

"Okay, let's leave memories for later. You still have to read my story, remember?"- Senra asked

"Yes" - Sakata read Senra's poetry. It was about a ghost, who tried to protect his beloved one from the danger.

"Wait for a second... It resembles me someone's else poetry... Yeah, it looks similar to Shima's!" - Sakata realized

"You're the third person tho told me that... And it's not true!" - Senra pouted

"I think I've guessed to whom was that poem dedicated~" - the redhead teased his friend, who didn't have him an answer

"Hello, Sakata! How is your second day in the Literature club?" - Amatsuki greeted the redhead with a smile

"Hi, Amatsuki! It's beautiful, thanks for the asking" - Sakata smiled back

"Ready to show your poetry?"  - Amatsuki took his story from the folder

"Yep!" - Sakata gave the poem to the red-eyed. He looked through it.

"Wow, you certainly created something special, Sakata" - Amatsuki praised the redhead

"Thank you. Can I see yours now?" - Sakata was glad to hear that

"Sure! Here you are" - Amatsuki handed him the folder. Sakata tried to keep it carefully. He read the story, which was about a window between universes.

"It was... unusual. It's wonderful and also has it's unique form... I'm sorry, I'm bad at giving critics." - Sakata rubbed his head.

"Ahh, thank you! Yeah, this style is popular nowadays. It helps writers put more sense into words" - said the leader of the club

"And, may I ask, what inspired you on writing that?" - Sakata was interested in the origins of that story

"Oh, that's a hard question. I may say, that I've had an insight. I'm still insecure, should I talk about things like that... as a result, it can easily hurt others' feelings" - whispered Amatsuki

"Don't worry, it didn't hurt mine, so everything is ok" - encouraged him, Sakata

"Haha, I think so. Also, Sakata... Feel free to tell me your suggestions, if you have them. We all want to make this place better, right?" - suggested the red-eyed, while the redhead nodded

"Thank you for exchanging poems with me! Now I have to make the announcement, so if you excuse me..." - after those words Amatsuki walked to the middle of the classroom.

"So guys, our first exchanging poetry was ended. I hope you all receive constructive critics and inspiration to continue writing!

Also, I know that we have five days before the festival, but tomorrow is Friday, so I ask you to split into the groups and do preparations for the festival on the weekend

The first group with Soraru will make decorations, the second group with Urata will cook food, and the last group under my lead will create booklets. Please, inform me, in which group will you be.

That's all for today!" - after the end of the announcement, Sakata looked at Senra, who caught his gaze and smiled.

"Let's go, Senra!" - he ran to his friend and grabbed his hand and went out of the classroom.
—-
"So, have you already chosen the group? Or you will decide after you'll know Shima's choice?" - Sakata decided to discuss choosing a group with Senra, not without a teasing

"Stop it, Sakata! But I haven't decided yet. And what about you?" - Senra sighed

"Hmm... Really, what about me? What do I want to do at the weekend? With whom would I like to spend it?" - those thoughts were in the Sakata's head all the way to home.
