Chapter 3: 'Few moments before Hikigaya enters the room'

(Yui's POV: Homeroom)

"I was wrong to think that I could have something genuine…..with you."

I haven't been able to get those words out of my head all morning. After Hikki left me and Yukinon yesterday we both sat in the clubroom in silence. Then we went off home. We haven't talked to each other since then. I really didn't understand Hikki's actions. I was happy Hikki was finally gonna talk to us! I was relieved. The past few days have been so awkward between all of us.

Yukinon had told me that day that Hikki wouldn't be coming back to the club. I was really sad because of that. I was sad that the fun club room time I always looked forward to was probably gonna end. I was sad that I wouldn't be able to have fun with Hikki anymore. But then Hikki did show up and I was so relieved. For a second I thought maybe we could go back...to like how it used to be. But now… I think maybe I blew it. I think maybe I really hurt Hikki. But… but…. I don't know how to help. I don't get what he wants. Neither does Yukinon. I'm scared to see Hikki again today. I…

"Hey Yui?"

I hear someone call me, I look over to my side and see its Yumiko!

"Ye..yeah Yumiko?" I responded to her, my tone was probably a bit sad because she gave me a worried look.

"You ok Yui? You like, look really down this morning. Whats up?" Yumiko says in an almost motherly tone.

"Oh…. umm… ahh it's nothing Yumiko! Just didn't get much sleep last night! Hehe.."

"You sure Yui?" replied Yumiko. "You've been a bit off lately, what's going on? You know you can tell me anything!" Yumiko really is very kind. She cares alot about me and it does make me a bit happier knowing she cares. Maybe i can…

"Now Yumiko, there is no need to pry too much into it. Seems like Yui is just a bit under the weather, maybe she doesnt wanna talk about it." says Hayato. I look up to Hayato and see his smile. But there's something off. Hmm Hikki was always saying Hayato wasn't what we thought. But that can't be right, right? He is just being nice and all….

"Huh? Oh well ok, I guess you're right Hayato! But still, Yui, if there's something wrong then speak up! Don't hold it in ya know its like, bad for you and junk." says Yumiko.

"hehe , yea sure, thanks Yumiko, if there's something wrong i'll let you know.'' I replied back. I'll tell Yumiko one day about it all. But maybe not right now. I feel like if I tell her it's because of Hikki, then she might get mad at him. It's not Hikki's fault or anything… at least I dont think it is. I just don't know anymore

'Ring' Ring' 'Ring'.

Oh! The school bell just rang. And Hiratsuka-sensei is coming in. I look over to see that Hikki still hasn't come to class yet. Maybe he's running late like usual. That's probably the case. I hope he's ok though.

"ALRIGHT! Everyone back in your seats! Time for homeroom! But before that we got ourselves a new Transfer Student!" yells .

A transfer student? Really! This far into the winter?! That's odd.

"Alright you can come in!" calls out for the new student to walk in, the new student walks in and stands up in front of the class.

I hear a bunch of the boys in the class start to gasp, and some girls too! I look at the transfer student more closely and notice that the new transfer student is really pretty! Well actually to be honest she is really really beautiful! I have to even admit that she's way more gorgeous than Yukinon! I didn't think that was really possible!

Everyone in the class starts to chat quietly about the new student. I look over and see that Tobe, Ooka, and Yamato are all looking right at her with funny looking faces. I see Yumiko look at her and she looks a bit upset. I can kinda get why though, I'm even a bit jealous of how much more beautiful she looks.

I spot Hayato also looking not at the new transfer student, but at Hikki's desk! I didn't take him to really care for Hikki.

Suddenly a voice starts to speak up and everyone starts to quiet down a bit as the new transfer student starts to speak.

"Hello everyone, my name is Sena Setsuna. It's a pleasure to mee…."

BANG!

Suddenly I hear a really loud bang in the classroom! Everyone is startled by it, including Setsuna-san. I looked over to see what made the noise and I saw it was the door! I look at the now open door to see a tall dark haired boy with unmistakable dead-fish eyes….

"It's Hikki!"

(Hiratsuka's POV)

'Few moments before Hikigaya enters the room'

After my short talk with Setsuna-san, I was now looking forward to seeing what Hikigayas reaction to him escorting her to the club would be like. I take a small delight in seeing Hikigaya's face when he is forced to do this task by yours truly.

But as i entered the class I noticed two things right off the bat.

One being that a certain dead fish eyed man was not currently at his seat pretending to sleep while actually peeping over at Hayama's group "yea i noticed your little eavesdropping sessions you do on them Hikigaya!" Second thing I noticed is Yuigahama. She seemed more down than usual. Her face has a weak smile, one I only saw her have last time when both her and Hikigaya got into that argument and stopped talking after the workplace visit we had. I didn't really know what happened or why but I know what face. "Something must have happened yesterday when Hikigaya went to the Service Club." I'll have to talk to Hikigaya about it later after class, or no wait , that may not be a good idea, he isn't exactly the most talkative when it comes to those two, especially if something went wrong. Maybe i'll ask Yukinoshita or maybe even Yuigahama if they know anything.

Well might as well call in the new student!

"Alright you can come in!" I yelled over to the door, as it slid open and Setsuna-san walked in. I noticed that almost everyone in class quickly looked up at her in faces of awe and amazement. I mean I expected this much to be honest.

Like I've said before, Setsuna is very very Beautiful. Almost every guy in here is oogling her like some wild mutt when it looks at a steak. I say almost every boy, while I dont expect Hayama to be one to stare at a pretty girl like most guys do, I do find it curious that he only glanced at Setsuna, then quickly switched his gaze upon none other than Hikigaya's empty desk.

Now why would he look over to his desk I wonder? I know they don't exactly get along but does Hayama know something I don't? Interesting

Suddenly, Setsuna-san starts to speak which quietens down the class.

"Hello everyone, my name is Sena Setsuna. It's a pleasure to mee…."

BANG!

Out of nowhere I hear a loud noise that scares the living shit out of me! After a bit I settle down and look over to what made the noise. I was the door to the classroom. It was flung wide open by a figure that kinda resembles a zombie. But that wasn't any zombie, it was a certain Loner zombie!

"Hikigaya!"

(Sena's POV)

'Few moments before Hikigaya enters the room'

As I am waiting for Hiratsuka-sensei to summon me into the classroom to introduce myself to my peers, I think back to what she told me about one of the members of the Service Club.

"he's what some would call a loner, he doesn't talk to many people. He's a cynical and pessimistic person, always slouching and not paying attention in class. He always writes these very atrocious essays, though being 3rd in his year for Japanese literature, he still writes very pessimistic essays and chalks it up to him just being a "realist". He avoids talking to others and has a very rotten outlook on society. Also he has a pair of dead fish eyes that can even scare away the most hideous monsters!"

The way Hiratsuka-sensei described Hikigaya Hachiman truly left a sour taste in my mouth. To think someone, especially a teacher, would have such a way of describing one of her students.

It's almost like how they used to describe him….

"Hikigaya Hachiman is more than the crude words I gave him. Deep down he's a pretty good kid, despite his insistence on him being nothing but rotten. I won't go and give you his life story and all, it's not exactly my place to tell it. you'll have to figure that out on your own."

Her reassumption and admittance to the truth about Hikigaya made me think back….

"This situation, it's almost the same as his…." I say quietly under my breath.

"Alright you can come in!"

I hear Hiratsuka-sensei yell from within the classroom, which means it is time to make my entrance.

I slowly but elegantly walk into the classroom. As I enter I begin to grab the piece of chalk that is placed near the chalk board and begin to write out my name.

Once I finish I set the chalk down, look over to my classmates, they all are quietly whispering among themselves. Of course I know exactly why. I know that my looks can be very dazzling to the eyes, I myself do take pride in my appearance for it is what any person would want, that is to look clean and presentable.

I look upon the class and attempt to see if I can locate Hikigaya and see for myself who he is. Sadly however, no one here matches the description given to me by Hiratsuka-sensei.

As I continue to scan the classroom I notice a boy sitting in the back area of the classroom. He seems to be quite a handsome looking boy, blond hair like mine, but as I look closer I can't help but feel as if I have seen him somewhere before. Curiosity got the better of me and I decided to explore this thought at a later date.

As I finish my scan I begin to speak for i believe I have stayed quiet for quite some time.

"Hello everyone, my name is Sena Setsuna. It's a pleasure to mee…."

BANG!

I am stopped mid sentence as I have been startled by the sudden loud noise that erupted from my left side. I look over to see that the door that I had entered in from and closed is now wide open and in the frame stands a tall boy, slightly slouching, he has long black hair and a pair of eyes… dead eyes to be exact.

I didn't know whether it was because of the sudden startlement of the door that made me lose a bit of my collective reasoning and concentration but as I gazed upon the boy, I had not registered yet that I was in fact Hikigaya Hachiman. No…

My mind began to place someone else in that door frame…. Someone I never thought I would see... I looked at the boy and I began to suddenly tear up….

"Can it really be you?"

"Natsuo!"

(Hachiman POV)

'Few moments before Hikigaya enters the room'

I did not want to come to school today…

After yesterday's events I did not want to show up.

How could i have been so idiotic! How embarrassing! Not only did my request go on deaf ears but it also wasn't worth it! I said all those embarrassing things to them and I got nothing but rejection from them! I was an idiot! I was a fool! Idiot! Nincompoop! Hachiman!

Wait? Hachiman isn't an insult….

Oh yea no.. that's the insult I got from Komachi this morning when I refused to wake up on time.

(flashback: Hikigaya HouseHold)

"Wake up onii-chan! You're going to be late for school!"

Komachi yelled as she was already dressed and had already eaten breakfast.

"Leave me be Komachi, I'm sick and i don't want to go to school.'' I replied in a fake sick voice to throw her off.

"Like Komachi would believe that onii-chan! Now get up and go! Don't think you can skip out on your duties in the club!" says komachi in a high pitched nagging voice.

Safe to say i did not want her to mention the club at all… i still don't feel well after yesterday's events.

"What are you talking about in Komachi? The club hasn't had any requests as of late."

"Nice try Onii-chan but i know about Christmas even your helping that Kohai of yours with!" Komachi responded in a smug voice.

Oi how the hell did you find out about that?

"Komachi? How do you know about Isshiki's request?" I ask komachi, there's no way she and isshiki are in contact right? Right? Please I hope not. I don't need Komachi telling Isshiki any unnecessary information about myself.

"Well isn't that obvious onii-chan? Yui-san told me!"

Of course.

I knew Yuigahama and Komachi had been texting but I didn't realize Yuigahama told Komachi about EVERYTHING I did.

"Komachi you need to stop gossiping with Yuigahama about my personal life." I saidin a bit of a cold tune.

"What are you talking about Onii-chan? Everyone knows you don't have a personal life!" she exclaims with a large smile

Oi that was unilaterally rude.

"Well whatever, just stop talking with Yuigahama already, and hurry up and head to school."

She looks at me with a bit of a worried expression. "Onii-chan, did something happen?"

I really don't want to talk about it with anyone, not even you Komachi, sorry.

"No, nothing at all." I will try my best to keep a straight poker face.

"Onii-chan….. What's wrong with your face? Are those…. Tears?" She says, eyes now wide and her face fills with even more worry.

Shit wait… I'm actually crying?

"Onii-chan?"

"Komachi leave now or you'll be late and leave me alone.'' I respond with a bit of venom in my voice. I didn't mean it to come out that way but just thinking back to yesterday stirred up a lot of emotions i didn't know nor want to have.

I look over to Komachi and she looks angry now…

"Stupid Onii-chan….. Stupid….Idiot….Ninconpoop….Hachiman!" Komachi says as she runs out of my room and towards the front door, I hear her shut the door loud. Now I'm left alone in my room.

"Great, Komachi is upset with me now. Just great."

(flashback end)

I ended up going to school after all. I still needed to complete Isshiki's request, and now that I don't have any back up in the form of The Service Club members, I'm on my own.

It's not like it matters anyways. I've always been alone. It's who I am. It's who I'm meant to be. Yesterday's events only reinforced that. And now I need to do this. If anything my motivation for even wanting to finish this request is because of Isshiki. I made her student council president so it's my responsibility to at least help her when she really needs it.

I finally arrived at school. I'm a few minutes late but it doesn't matter. I honestly don't care if sensei beats the shit out of me.

I look over to one of the class panes in the school and see my own reflection.

"Geez, I look like a mess."

My uniform is all wrinkled and messed up, I've got a bad bed head and my eyes look even more dead than usual.

I guess I had a hard time sleeping last night…. Whatever, I don't really care about my looks.

I make my way to the classroom, the closer I get the more I heart into it. I know sensei is already in there but why is there a good amount of noise coming from inside?

Odd.

Anyways I finally reach the door, as I'm about to open it I suddenly realize that behind this door after a few people I really did not want to see. I didnt wanna see sensei because she's the one who filled me with the idea of wanting something genuine, she's the one that inspired me to open up more. And then there's Yuigahama. The one who rejected me. But not a rejection of love or any of that crap. But the rejection of something genuine. She was someone I thought could maybe help me understand and be genuine with but in the end she didn't get it, and neither did I.

Thinking about all this is making my emotions peak again, I can feel the anger and sadness erupt from me.

All the walls I've built up, after putting them down and putting them back up after yesterday's events, it seems that they have formed cracks and openings for these emotions to come back.

I just can't…..

"I want something genuine!"

With those words echoing through my head I take the handle to the door and slam it open as hard as I can!

BAM!

I look into the classroom to see everyone's shocked expressions as they look towards me to see what made that noise. As much as I hate being the center of attention I can't help but not care that I made a bit of a scene. I was angry and I needed to take it out on something. The door along with the shock of everyone seemed like a good choice.

As I gaze into the room I spot a few things. First, I see Yuigahama, she has a surprised expression on her face, makes sense, someone like her who is a bit of a cluts would get surprised by the smallest noise.

Next I see sensei as she too has a look of surprise but also seems a bit worried? (huh, maybe Yuigahama and Yukinoshita told her about what happened.)

I am taken out of my thoughts by the third thing I notice. I notice that there is a girl standing right infront of me, I don't recognize who this is, she looks shocked as well but also seems to be crying a bit. (geez did me slamming the door that hard really scare you?) from what I can tell she must be a transfer student, not that I care to be honest.

After a bit of settling down from my entrance, I looked towards all three women who had caught my eye as I walked in, and collectively all three yelled my name in unison.

"It's Hikki!"

"Hikigaya!"

"Natsuo!"

Yes yes, I am Hikiga….. Wait? Who the hell is Natsuo?

(Authors note)

And that chapter 3 is done and done! what did you think? Finally we have Sena introduce herself to the class, well atleast try to haha. Anyways, it seems like a lot is happening, Yui is very worried and feels bad, her friends are also noticing. Hayama seems off too, wonder why? Guess you'll have to wait and see. Hiratsuka already suspects something, but I wonder who will spill the beans first about the events of that day. and Natsuo? who the hell is Natsuo? thankfully all will be answered soon so stay tuned!

Anyways I wanna address some comments I've gotten. Let's start off with the characters. While I do love the series oregairu and I do love how each and every character is and know how they are, writing them and attempting to emulate their personalities is a challenge. I am still learning how every character is and I hope to master them some day! so for now assume that most of the characters I write about are gonna be a tad bit OOC. Also someone commented about sena having such a Japanese name for someone from the UK. Sena was born in Japan, her mother is English while her father is Japanese. she spent elementary school in japan and moved to England and stayed there until the events of the story. more on her will be explored later on. also to address some of how I write my stories, forgive me for the long sentences and detailed explanations. personally i do this then when i write and even text with others, i'm just someone who analyzes and details everything, ill of course attempt to tone it down in future chapters so if i do start ,making long explanations and such plz dont mind it, just something i'll work on as i keep writing and learning. and finally I wanna mention my punctuation and grammar. I'm not 100% the best at grammar (my HS English grades can back that one up) but I do go back in an attempt to correct myself or fix any errors. Currently I'm attempting to find someone to proofread and edit my stories to make them more correct and appealing so once I get that done my stories hopefully will improve. Anyways I hope you enjoyed this chapter and stay tuned for the next one!
