Fell asleep guys, sorry.
>You call out Tomoko's name, but she doesn't respond. You notice the pair of headphones, resting atop of her. She probably has her music up to loud to hear you.
>You walk up to her quietly and were about to tap her on the shoulder. She turns her head just before you touch her though, and she leaps in surprise, so much that she falls off her chair.
> “Y-yes..?” she whimpered quietly
>You ask her if she thinks enough work has been done, and in response, she pettily nods.
>She picks up her stuff at this, assuming you want to end the work session, and begins to walk off at a fast pace.
>You try and say wait in the loudest voice you could that was acceptable for a library, but she didn’t hear you.
>You grab your stuff and try to catch up with her, but the time it took you to properly pack away everything, you are left alone amidst the other people quietly going about their lives.
>It’s now 2:45pm.
>You sigh and decide to get yourself a bite to eat before heading back home, your attempts to get closer to Tomoko unachieved.
>You get home and carry out a fairly uneventful evening, that is, until Brandon calls you.
> “DUUUDEEEEEEEE! There’s a carnival that’s happening a couple of blocks down for the next couple of weeks! I never even heard it about it till just now”
>You couldn’t understand why Brandon was particularly excited, after all, most carnivals ended up being kind of boring as you got older.
> “You’re going right? We could totally go tomorrow or something!”
>What do you want to do?
1. Accept the invitation and go to the carnival
2. Offer to ask Tomoko to come
3. Decline the offer to the carnival
4. Ask who else he plans to invite
(For those who wanted more options i can't think of any, sorry. If you guys have any suggestions or paths you can think of, suggest 'em)
>>2861935
4, followed by 2
>>2861935
i'd say 4 too

This little head case is starting to annoy me. Fuckit ... #1 & #4 -- I'm going to do something with my friends and get my mind off of her weirdness.
But, just for the fuck of it, I'll text her an invite (#2) ... though - based on her previous reaction - I don't hold out much hope...

Surprised this didn't fall off the board by now

I'm just hoping that writefag will return.
>>2861935
2 you fool 2!!!!
I like how the beginning of the story implies that we were fairly normal with a healthy social life, but then ever since we met Tomoko we've done nothing but completely ignore our friends and autistically obsess over a girl we don't even know anything about. This story will end with us becoming a complete social reject and Tomoko questioning whether she wants to be associated with someone THAT pathetic.
Bump before bed
>>2907985
You're acting like you can't relate
I guess I can do a combination of options for you guys this time, since it was requested so much.
> “Who else do you plan to invite?”, you ask casually
> “Uh…. I dunno, just the regulars dude. You can bring Allyssa too if you want, she’s cool enough. I haven’t really thought this through, I just thought I’d let you know.”
>You gulp at what you’re about to ask, and try to toss out your inquiry with as much carelessness as you can muster.
> “What about Tomoko?”
>Brandon snickers at this.
> “Yeah nah dude. I don’t know if you’re being serious or not, but she’s weird. She’d just make things awkward.”
>Given your previous decisions, you decide not to push this further.
>”Yeah, fair enough.”
>After some idle chatter with Brandon, you come to the conclusion that you’ll be going in the afternoon, and tell Brandon you’ll see what Allyssa’s doing.
>You text her, simply asking if she’s got stuff on and if not, if she would be open to coming with you to the carnival.
>A few seconds later she replies back saying that she had nothing on and wouldn’t mind coming along.
>She asks if you’re going to pay for her admission, it being “the gentlemanly thing to do”, to which you say no and that you’re going to get a group discount.
>She simply replies with “oh, lol” and then signs off for the night, as do you, since it was starting to get late.
>You wake up the next day, and realise that the time is 2.15pm. You were supposed to meet at 3pm. Panicking, as you get your stuff together, you decide your best course of action after you were done with preparations.
1. Invite Tomoko anyways, and try and get her to come.
2. Head to the carnival with Allyssa
3. Go to the carnival by yourself
4. Ask Brandon to give you a lift.
>>2910629
3.
Fucking normalfags.
>>2910629
yeah let's be less desperate and go for 3
>>2910629
1
Let's see what happens
3.
Also, nice story anon. Can't wait to see where it's going!
>>2910629
3, but invite Tomoko to go with you
>>2910629
2 start cucking tomoko
4, let him know you wanna bang tomoko, and next time there's a meet up, let you invite her, tell him stop cock blocking
>>2917996
So, #1 then?
>>2925446
Nah, 1 is inviting Tomo anyways, still going with the others. I'm going for ditching the guys and invite her
>>2924628
>"Yo, Bran-man, let me straight with you. You know that messy-ass nerd chick who looks like she hasn't hit puberty yet? I'mma bang that."
>>2926207
"Bran-man"
fuck i gotta put that in the story some time, i don't know why i find it so funny
>>2913278
Thank you, kind anon! I'll try to keep up the regularity!
>>2910629
#2 ... 'cos I hate going to a crowded place looking like a loser, if I'm all by myself.
At least with a grill by my side (even if she's only a friend), I have a higher social value.
This can fuck with other girl's heads and make them more attracted to me (I'm assuming that Allyssa's at least a solid 7/10).
But, it could potentially backfire with the Tomo-grill if she sees me -- assuming she's the stalker type.
But, nah, she'll likely be staying home and stuffing her face with Pocky and playing vidya.
>>2910629
I choose 3
Bump before going to bed

In the meantime, i'm gonna post chapter 96, that just came out today
>>2948120
Next chapter 06/02
Pt.1
>You quickly get up and get changed, putting on some decently casual clothes, but they still looked nice. You weren’t too fussed over looks though. Your stomach grumbles in displeasure, so you decide it best to get some food. You hastily grab a piece of bread and make your way for the bus stop.
>Just in time. You hail the bus and it stops briefly to a halt. You get on, talking to the bus driver through staggering breaths, as you hand him a fist full of change. You make your way to the back of the bus.
>Eventually, the bus rolls to a stop at your destination, and you follow the path towards the carnival that was down the road.
>You see your friends lurking out the front of the agtes of the carnival, all waiting for you. You looked down at your watch.
>3.15
>Whoops. You wave at them and run over, and apologise to them for being late.
>You enter as a group and after a few passive aggressive comments from Brandon, you talk over what you want to do with the rest of the group.
>It seems for the most part that they wanted to just go on the rides and stuff, and then head out later for dinner, which you agree with.
>You and your friends head off to the rollercoaster first, and wait patiently in line for your chance to get on. Just as your friends are getting loaded on, you and Allyssa are stopped and told that you’d have to wait. Brandon just looks at you and makes a sort of smirk and laughs. You can’t make out his words though.
Pt. 2
>You chat with Allyssa for a short while longer and then eventually hop on. As you swap cars with Brandon, he lazily says “We’ll be at dodgem cars when you guys are done.”. He waves you off as he walks off with your group of friends in tow.
>You and Allyssa get on the same cart and prepare for the ride.
>Allyssa turns to you and says “Y’know, I’ve never really been much for rollercoasters. They make me a little nervous”. She blushes a little at this
>You shrug your shoulders and tease “They’re fun. It’s gonna be fineeee.”
>After an earful of screaming and high speed antics, you get off the ride with Alyssa and head to the dodgem cars, but Brandon and your other friends were nowhere to be seen.
>They’d ditched you with Allyssa.
>Just as you were about to voice this, Allyssa elbows you in the arm and points over to a bench.
> She whispers over to you and says “ ‘Ey hotshot. Isn’t that that Tomoko girl you were flirting with before? She’s all alone.”
>You look overto where she pointed, and indeed, the iconic messy hair and baggy-eyed girl was there, sitting with a large stuffed toy and a cone of fairy floss.
>However, just as you contemplated going to talk to her, some black haired boy strolled up to her and started speaking to her. You tried to get a better view of him.
>She didn’t really seem to be listening to him, but from what you could tell, they were related, he had the same dark patches under his eyes and looked kinda similar to her. After a small while he walked off.
What will you do?
1. Head off with Alyssa to find the others
2. Go talk to tomoko and tell Alyssa to search for the others
3. Introduce Alyssa to Tomoko and ask is tomoko wants to tag along with you and her.
4. Tell Alyssa the situation and ask her opinion
Once again, since i'm struggling with options, other suggestions will be considered if they get enough backing
Also, while i'm here, i'll just briefly mention this.
Choices matter. I will be using it as a means to develop your character, so that inbetween responses when you are faced with events that you cannot decide, i will resort to previous answers to get a feel for how you guys would act.
Also, sorry for the infrequency. I'm losing a bit of motivation to do this, which is why i've been posting once every two days. I often obsess over the finer details, and try to think of the best story i can, which often times just leaves me sitting infront of the computer without doing anything.
anyways, things will start to get more interesting from here.
also, sorry to those who feel i'm not playing tomoko's character right. any direction in how i can go about it better would once again, be greatly appreciated.
oh, and one last thing, pic related is how i envisage Alyssa (Allyssa? Still haven't decided on one or two L's)
anyways, hope you guys are having fun
>>2948467
4. I need all the help possible
>>2948502
If sometimes you get stuck or can't think of something, you could relax by reading some random chapter:
http://mangafox.me/manga/watashi_ga_motenai_no_wa_dou_kangaete_mo_omaera_ga_warui/
It''ll also help you making tomoko charcter more accurate.
Don't worry about the infrequency, I've followed this thread for almost one month, take your time. Just tell us if something comes up and you have to leave. Anyway, thank you for the story and keep up the good work!
>>2948467
Oh man it's one of those difficult decisive choises.
4 is probably the best though, even at the risk of losing Alyssa and her telling everyone at school
>>2948467
4 i guess
>>2948467
fuck #4 .. we know that Tomo is socially crippled. The only way to get her to open up is to slowly make her feel comfortable with others.
And what better "others" that you and Alyssa?
So, #3 ...all the way!
... It will engage both Tomoko and Alyssa, and with another girl there, Tomoko will feel less shy (hopefully).
It's not awkward, like going out on a date. It's fate - or w/e you wanna call it - cos it wasn't planned. And girls love that fate shit.
Besides, having Alyssa there will help, as she'll be able to drop some subtle cues to help along the Tomo project as the day goes on -- like a coach.
Also, since Alyssa is a solid 7/10 on a bad day (and easily a 9/10 if she does herself up), I'd want to hedge my bets at this point.
Girls like fixer-up guys. So, if I go for Tomo, and get hurt, I can play the brokenhearted hero, and get Alyssa in a mad easy way.
Note to self: gonna have to thank Brandon later. Ditching me with Alyssa was the best thing he could've done for a bro -- he knows if I play my cards right, I can score huge points with either or both of these chicks.
>>2948467
#3
because, the worst thing that Tomoko can say is "no".
>>2948502
besides, if Tomoko were to say "no", spending some one-on-one time with Alyssa, while having fun at a carnival, actually looks pretty good, in and of itself.
Besides, #4 would be the consolation prize, without tipping your hand in either direction.
Who knows, maybe Alyssa might drop a clue that she's secretly into you. You're neighbors and friends for quite a while. So, y'know...
And with hormones raging and teen stuff, maybe deep down she has feelings for you.
So, yeah... #3 for sure
>>2949369
Of course she has feeling for you, how blind are you
#3 for sure
so what happened so far in the story
>>2948502
Wtf are we doing chasing after tomko with a qt like that by our side! Really thou tomo always has my heart
>>2958255
>Tomoko without her bags
WHAT KIND OF SORCERY IS THIS
>>2948467
Option 4 definitely.
>>2958255
I'd take Tomoko over any qts like that anyday.

I had a dream about tomoko last night
>At my house playing games
>Tomoko comes
>We watch some anime and talk about stuff all afternoon
>Decide to go out to see a movie
>As soon as we stepped outside I woke up
>Realize it was a dream
Why couldn't I remain asleep forever
Why am I still here just to suffer
First time there has been a tie in the votes!
I flipped a coin and 4 wins, so looks like you'll be asking Alyssa for advice. I'll get to writing now
>>2987886
Nice! Can't wait to hear it!
Fell asleep on my keyboard while i was typing last night, lol.
>At a crossroads on what you should do in the situation, you decide to fall back on Alyssa, and so you begin to tell her a bit about Tomoko…
> “So…”
>However, since you’ve had this pent up inside you without confiding in anyone, you began to just blurt everything about her to Alyssa.
>She put on a smile, probably trying to looking normal under the obsessive detail you gave her, it did look a little forced now that you thought about it. You stopped yourself and apologised, and she said.
> “Oh!... No, it’s fine… You’re very passionate about her Anon, that’s really nice…”
>She trails off into contemplation, and eventually speaks again.
> “Well, I guess I can’t offer you much in the way of advice. I mean, I don’t have much experience in that area myself.”
>She looked over at Tomoko
> “Maybe you should just hang out with her. She looks kinda… lonely. Y-yeah, do that! I’ll just make things awkward, so I’m gonna catch up with the others!”
>She ran off to find your friends, leaving you standing in the middle of the crowd.
>You glance over at Tomoko one last time, and she’s no longer sitting down. Stiffly, she moved through the crowd towards the entrance of the park.
>You decide to follow her, but you don’t call out her name. You increased your pace slightly, to try and catch up with her.
>She’s nearing the exit…
What do you do?
1. Desist following her and find your friends
2. Run up to her and talk to her
3. Call out her name
4. Call her phone
>>2978884

>Captcha was spaghetti
>>2995853
Gotta go with 2 on this one
>>2995853
2 pls
>>2995853
yeah 2 is probably the least desperate
>>2995853
3, unless she has headphones on. That would be an important detail. Then 2 if you're not far. Does Tomoko really think you're being desparate and is she that kind of normal girl?
>>2995853

Sorry for the wait.
>You decide to sprint up to intervene her decision of leaving the carnival. Panting, you catch up to her.
>You try your best to hide it, though.
> “Tomoko… Just saw you walking… by. What’s up?”
>You rub the nape of your neck and sigh in exasperation, putting on a stupid grin.
>….
>She looks at the ground, and begins to kick it abashedly.
> “n-nothing… at… all.”
> “Oh… I see.” You struggled with the thought of asking her to join you on one of the rides. Would that make you look like you were trying too hard for her to stay? You briefly consider your options.
>However, as you were lost in contemplation, she seemed to have escape you.
>Startled, you yell out “Wait, Tomoko!”
>Out of the corner of your eye, you see her pacing back to you with to cans of soda in her hand.
>Great, now you’d called her out for nothing.
>Whilst you considered the consequences of your actions, Tomoko began to speak. It seemed a struggle for her even to piece together a sentence.
> “T-thanks… For… helping me in…. l-library”
>She appeared a little flustered. Perhaps that’s why she’d bought drinks.
>You thank her with as much kindness as your voice can muster as she hands you the drink, and tell her that the help you had provided had been no problem to you at all.
What do you do?
1. Say thanks for the drink, and tell her you don't want to hold her back any longer since she was going. In other words, see her off.
2. Hug her or pat her head (specify if you choose this option)
3. Ask if she'd like to go around the festival with you alone
4. Ask if she'd like to investigate the festival with you and your friends
5. Ask if she wants to go out somewhere for dinner
6. Walk her home (assuming your house is hopefully close to yours)
thought i'd treat you guys since i planned to have her run away after you were in contemplation. again, thanks for keeping the threads bumped and being patient with me.

Having a hard time between 2,3 and 5
I think I'll go with 3.

Stuck between 3 and 5, but I'll need to go with 3.
Hopefully we can come back to 5 later

3.
Head pats are tempting, but let's act like a normal person.
>>3047585
Fuck man, 2 would be cool because head pats, but 3 seems like the logical choice
>>3047585
Start with 3 go into 5 and end with 6 maybe a 2 before she enters her house
>>3058249
That's a pretty good idea nigga

Changing my vote from 3 to this
>>3058249
>>3064211
This is really good
I too change my vote from 3 to this
>>3058249
It's probably safe to assume that other things will happen before we make it through four separate options. You're also assuming that Tomoko will say yes to everything.
>>3066802
Damn you're right.
Back to 3 for me then.

>You think for a moment and decide to ask her if she'd like to go to experience the carnival just with you.
>She starts to nervously sweat and looks away at the exit. Her head turned, she mumbles
>"N-nah... I-i've gotta... head off... my mum needed me to buy something... bye!"
>She runs out the exit, leaving you standing there, coke in hand.
>Afterwards, you decide to try and rendezvous with your friends instead of heading home.
> After a small search, you find them buying some cotton candy.|
>Brandon shouts "Dude! How long do you want to spend on the fuckin toilet! Must've been a hell of a shit!"
>You stand there amongst the laughter for a second, confused. You look at Alyssa and she winks at you. Seems she covered for you not coming back with her to your friends.
>You play it off and enjoy the rest of the afternoon with your friends at the carnival.
>You head home afterwards, completely drained from the day out. You lazily trudge into your house and have a shower.
>You eat dinner, and nothing of importance appeared to have happened whilst you were out.
>After flopping onto bed, you fall into a heavy sleep.
--Sunday will be skipped--
(Pt.1)
>After a relaxing day at home, you get up for school and ready yourself.
>As you head out the door, you see Alyssa waiting outside for you to talk to school with you like you normally do.
> “Hey Anon! How’s it going?”
>You give back a general answer and carry on your walk with her. After a break in the conversation, she asks:
> “..So how did it go with Tomoko at the carnival? Did you get much alone time”
>You decide since you’ve already told her about what you plan to do, you explain to her what happened.
> A pained smile spreads across her face as she goes “Damn. Well, there’ll always be next time. From what you’ve said, she doesn’t seem like she dislikes you. And she bought you something, which is good as well…”
>She shrugs and says “Maybe she’s just nervous haha…”
>After an uneventful first half of the day, the class heads off to lunch, and you find yourself once more alone. Tomoko had walked off and Brandon wasn’t at school today, so nobody was there waiting for you.
>Just as you finished packing up you looked over at the Tomoko’s desk next to you, and realise she had left her phone behind. It appeared fairly old, with a couple of folded papers tucked inside its case
What do you do?
1. Find tomoko and hand her phone back immediately
2. Check through her phone and then hand it back to her
3. Keep it
4. Go hang out with your friends and give it to her next period, since she’s in your last class
5. Hand it in to the office for lost property. Maybe it isn’t hers?
6. conduct a more thorough search of her phone and try to hand it back to her after school.
Other options are welcome

Besides what the other anon said, i have quite a busy life in where i have little spare time for myself.
I can't rush creativity, i like to take my time with these, and so often, to think of something both thoughtful and well worded, and fitting the events in the general plot of what i have in my head can be somewhat time consuming.

The manga
>>3141547
if you were willing to go to extra length you could have a big picture for a specific emotion and then smaller ones around it which were all the same emotion but different pictures. just an idea.
>A temptation to overwhelming to refuse, you hastily pick the phone up and give it a more proper investigation.
>You first try to access her phone, attempting to guess her password, but to no avail. The screen flashes back at you as it says “Locked for 2 minutes”. Time to choose a different course of action.
>You set work to carefully removing the case, and a small array of items fall out. A library card, a couple of stickers, a receipt for a magazine, and a to do list.
>Upon closer inspection of the miscellaneous items, you find out that none of them really hold anything of interest.
>The list catches your eye. It has fairly average tasks written down, but the bottom has been scribbled over repetitively. You try to decipher it, and can make out the words which say “Ask anon…”
>As you hold the paper to the light emitted from the window, you suddenly recognise footsteps echoing down the hallway.
>You scurry to pick up all the bits and pieces that fell out of Tomoko’s phone cover, haphazardly squeezing them back in.
>Just as you look up from this task, none other than Tomoko was at the door, staring at you vacantly.
>With her phone in your hand.
>You weren’t sure if she saw you trying to slide the phone cover back on, but you were at a loss for words or of an idea of how you should react.
What do you do?
New thing: I’m letting you guys suggest what you do for this one. I don’t want to limit creativity (and I’m also a lazy sack of shit.) Vote for whoever’s idea you like best.
