Don't Own Oregairu

Scene#10: Orimoto

Story idea by: The Sender and The Traveller.

Characters: Hayama/Kaori

"Arey! Are you the famous Hayama Hayato by any chance?"

"...I don't know anything about famous, but that is my name, yes"

Hayama Hayato looked at this new girl with curly brown hair with a pleasant and charming smile. Judging solely by her uniform she was not from around Sobu High and hence he had to be responsible for giving her a good impression of himself and his school.

"Well, you already know my name, but I don't know yours" he said beaming up at her.

"Oh silly me" the girl giggled, "I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Orimoto Kaori."

"Alright Orimoto-san" he said, running the name through his mouth and putting it in his memory, "Why were you looking for me?" Hayama was already having a flashback to his previous conversation with Sagami and he did not need a repeat telecast of the same.

Orimoto cocked her head to the side, "Who said I was looking for you?" She asked in confusion.

Hayama streched his smile wider, "Why you did Orimoto-san. Just now"

Orimoto shook her head, "I don't think so Hayama-san. I just asked whether or not you were the famous Hayama Hayato and you said you were. I never said I was looking for you" she thought for a moment then snapped her fingers, "Arey, now that you mention it I do kinda think that I was looking for someone." She said, "But it's just not you" she pouted.

Hayama relaxed and asked, "Then who are you looking for Orimoto-san. I might be able to help you out a little." He said kindly, "I know a lot of people in my school" he said emphasising his point.

Orimoto gave him a cheeky look, "I doubt you will know him Hayama san." She said, "The guy I am looking for likes to keep himself in the down low" she told him, "He is not exactly shy, or maybe he is, I don't know, but back in middle school I definitely thought he was a creep."

Hayama stiffened a little, "May I know his name?" He asked politely.

"Yeah, yeah sure." Orimoto said, "His name is Hikigaya Hachiman"

This time around Hayama was unable to keep his features entirely cool and much to his discomfort Orimoto was able to pick up the slipping of his mask

"That's the usual type of reaction I expect from anyone who gets to know him" Orimoto said casually, "I'm guessing you two are not friends?" She asked.

Hayama sighed, "I think so but honestly I can't tell"

Orimoto laughed, "Sounds about right" she said in between giggles.

Hayama gave a nervous chuckle, "Why do you want to meet him Orimoto-san, if you don't mind me asking?"

Orimoto put both her hands behind her back and rocked on her heels, "Honestly, I don't know myself" she paused before adding, "Maybe I want to find out if I have any regrets"

Hayama looked confused at her reply, "I don't think I understand what you are saying Orimoto-san"

Orimoto smiled, "You are hilarious! Haha!" Then she said in her normal voice, "I didn't want you to understand that Hayama-kun." Her eyes twinkled, "I just wanted to sound cool!"

Hayama relaxed a little, "Well you did sound cool Orimoto-san. And if you want to look for him you then you should better check the service club. Do you want me to take you there?"

Orimoto shook her head, "No need. I can find the place myself"

Hayam nodded, "Well then, I should better leave you to your search Orimoto-san"

Orimoto grinned, "Yeah thanks. Oh by the way do you wanna go out for coffee sometimes?

Hayama was taken aback by the sudden question, "Wha?"

"Oh don't worry Hayama. I am not asking you out on a date. It's just plain coffee between two new friends" Orimoto reassured him, "Besides you are really not my type."

Hayama gave a genuine smile at her remark, "I would like that"

"Which part?" Orimoto asked cheekily, "The coffee part, or the friend part or the not my type part?

Hayama shook his head in amusement, "You are very funny Orimoto-san. I'm glad we got to know each other today"

"Same here, same here" Orimoto agreed.

Both of them said their farewell after exchanging their contact info and just when Hayma turned around to leave he heard her cheerful voice reach his ears

"And if you are wondering Hayama-kun, I prefer my men a little more real and genuine"

Hayama did not turn around and he walked away with a small smile on his lips. It seems he had met a very interesting girl today who might have shared a unique past with Hikigaya of all people.

"You learn something new everyday" he thought to himself.

A/N

Okay, you guys can stop giving me any more prompts and pairing ideas now.

I will just finish up the ideas that you guys have already sent me and then just stop writing and focus on my exams.

I am sorry if I sound bitter but I don't know what to do.

I wrote a Miura x Hikio chapter and it got only 2 reviews. Its like just when I got on the ship it started sinking.

And this time I wrote something new, about Orimoto and Hayama and I have no doubt in my mind that I will get only a few reviews.

It felt great to write something new and don't get me wrong this story is getting lots of views (over 3.42 k) but I would feel great if I got some feed back from the readers.

You can write anything, say you hate it, say you love it, I won't mind.

...on sencond thoughts ignore my ramblings

I will keep writing.

Hope you enjoyed the chapter.

Won't betray your dreams
