[Inner monologue/dream]

Relationships. Society's expectation of humans to establish in their lives. 'Connecting' people together. High school is a brewery of relationships, many opportunities for the normiefag riajuus to socialize and create their superficial bonds, leaving vague promises of contact when in reality they'll drift apart when they inevitably integrate into society and becomes corporate slaves, with no time to socialize.

I myself have regrettably conformed to the idea of relationships as well due to the events that unfolded in my second year of High School… Considering that I have two club mates that I hesitantly admit to, look forward to spending time with. I make small contact with others as well; Zaimokuza the Chuunibyou, Kawa… Kawasomething-san, the fox of a student council president Isshiki, and others littered around. I would have never expected to have these contacts, but I do appreciate them. Now you may be asking, why are you thinking about it now? To explain that I would have to tell you what I awoke to yesterday.

[Hikigaya Household, April, Hachiman POV]

An angelic voice perturbed my dreams followed up by a crash to my body, disturbing the weird self-monologue that I had just received.

"Wake up Onii-Chan! You need to wake up so you don't miss the first day of your second year!" Came from the intruder that was currently on top of me that so happened to be my absolutely PERFECT Imouto! I'll even fight Tanjiro for the title of best Imouto!

Contrary to my usual reactions and choices, I had gotten up begrudgingly, and moved her off me tiredly.

"Mouuu Gomi-Chan you need to wake up by yourself! What if Komachi isn't here to wake you up in the future? I guess I'll just have to stay with you forever to take care of you! Kyaaa! That must of earned me a bunch of Komachi points!" Outputted from my sister. Don't worry little Komachi! You've earned more than enough Komachi points to last you an eternity! I am definitely NOT a sis-con.

Grunting in annoyance, I made my way to the bathroom, where I had taken a quick shower, finally reinstalling the last bits of my consciousness. Breakfast had proceeded like usual, with nothing noticeably different. It's time for the first day of my third year, as I opened my umbrella, I gave a look to my trusty partner, she's been through for me more than anyone else. I won't be riding you today, but I'll come back! I won't let anyone else have you bike-chan! Except maybe Komachi.

I moved towards the school, letting the rain drops on my umbrella be the only sounds that were present. As I reached the school I swapped my shoes in my shoe locker. (I don't know if they change the positions during year changes, but I'm just going to bs it and say they don't)

After the standard morning routine I had made my way to Class 3-B, with me opening the door being met with an annoyed glare, I'm sorry to be a disturbance to your presence Sensei! I promise to not annoy you in the class! I made my way to my pre-assigned seat, relieved to see no familiar faces, especially that social clique… I lowered my head to the desk to take a nap, seeing as I was twenty minutes early.

A tap to my shoulder was felt. I opened my eyes to see a girl. A girl with a familiar face. Her brown braided twintails and her seemingly overwhelming positive aura was all so familiar. "Ano… could I ask why you're in my seat taking a nap?" Came from her. "I'm sorry but… I thought this was my seat? The seat for class 3-B Hikigaya Hachiman?" I uttered. Was this girl out of her mind? Her seat? I know I'm forgettable and pretty easy to push around but this is too much! My heart can't take this! "But I'm looking through the attendance list and I don't find a Hikigaya Hachiman…" No Hikigaya Hachiman? Are the teachers finally ridding the school of me to protect their public image? Has my time come? Give everything I own to Komachi! "Maybe you should go to the counsellor?" the suggestion coming from her. Looking disturbed I decided the follow along with whatever joke the class had planned to make my day a living hell, not before asking her for her name. "Shiromeguri Meguri desu! Nice to meet you... Hikigaya-kun?" Shiromeguri? Wasn't she the student council president last year? Shouldn't she be in College?

Ignoring the nagging I felt at the back of my head, with a hesitant nod I left the room and headed towards the counsellor's office, getting ready to complain to Hiratsuka-Sensei about the weird events occurring in the morning. Nearing the door, I heard faint sobs, that poor woman... Someone take her already! If no one does I might have to do it myself! Knocking on the door I heard tissues being drawn and steps towards the door, opening the door was Hiratsuka-sensei with her eyes puffy, most likely another failed date...

"Hiratsuka-sensei? I've had some problems with class arrangement. Did it get mixed up somehow? I thought I was supposed to be in class 3-B." With a raised she looked at me weirdly, then retrieved a piece of paper, before stating, "What are you talking about… um… Hikigaya?" She looked intently on her sheet, before continuing, "You're a second year! Why the hell would you be in a third-year class?" Second year? Is this a joke? "Very funny Sensei. Did you decide to exert your frustration of the inability to keep a date on me? I'd rather not since the bell will ring soon and I'd rather be in my classroom," I gave her a wary look, "So please just tell me what room I was reassigned to." Looking at me as if I was crazy, she explained, " I have no idea what you're talking about Hikigaya, there is no 'prank'. You are supposed to be in class 2-F, my home room. Furthermore I don't remember getting all chummy chummy with you."

I uttered my thanks for her assistance, and as soon as I left, as if a switch inside my head had clicked, I started piecing together what had happened. First the oddly misplaced information that I was supposed to be starting my first day of my second year in high school from Komachi, then the stink-eye from the 3-B teacher was probably because of my unannounced 'intrusion', after that would be Shiromeguri's presence despite the fact she should be in college and the fact that she did not recognize me, finally Hiratsuka's persistent declaration that I was indeed a second year student and her cold-ish attitude to her 'favourite' student.

I remember stating once that relationships can always reset. It seems not just relationships have been reset. My existence as Hikigaya Hachiman for the past year was unexpectedly reset.

So that was my attempt at writing a OreGairu fic! Sorry if it's bad but it is my first try at writing a fanfiction. Feedback is very welcome since I need pointers on how I'm doing!
