Chapter 1

The homeroom teacher of Hachiman's class,Shizuka Hiratsuka had called him to the teacher's lounge to discuss what he wrote in his essay on 'Reflection of time in high school' or rather what he hadn't written.

"But I had written as you had asked Sensei."

The boy said with dull eyes and hair tied to a short ponytail trying to sound innocent but his tone only irritated her more.

She lifted his essay up to read

"Nothing much happened. Joined the first year late due to an accident and cajoled by a third year to join the Literature club which I did so she would stop harassing me about it. So yeah."

She dropped this on the table and sighed with frustration. She would need another cigarette after this.

"Alright,so do you have friends in school?"

He looked a bit uncomfortable and looked away slightly

"I talk to some people,sometimes"

He answered and tried to avoid the subject but Hiratsuka caught on to this.

She decided to talk about Hachiman's school club of which she also served as supervisor.

"So your club,I believe you are it's sole member. Am I correct?"

He nodded in response.

"As far as I know,Sora senpai was the only member when she made me join it. The others had graduated or quit to focus on exams and college admissions."

Shizuka Hiratsuka summed it up

"So she has graduated,leaving you it's sole member."

Hachiman added

"And also it's president. I didn't even had to do anything."

Shizuka clicked her tongue with annoyance at his cheekiness.

"Then you must also be aware of the rules. If you can't find more members the club will be shut down."

He tried to make a softer look

"Can you make an exception. Please sensei?"

She didn't fall for it.

"No"

She said bluntly and he stopped himself from expressing his annoyance.

After a while she shook her head and smiled.

"Just rewrite the essay for now. We can talk about your club later."

Hachiman accepted and was prepared to leave when she said

"You know,if you need help there is a new club established also under my supervision. It's called the Service club and so far has a sole member. Do you know the name Yukino Yukinoshita?"

I perked up on hearing that name. I've heard of that name and nothing good about it. She's from the class of smartest students and she stood out even among them. Supposedly very smart and lady like but also a sharp tongue which drove both boys and girls to tears. And I had no intention of finding truth regarding these rumours.

"I'll consider the offer sometime,Sensei"

And by sometime I mean never.

With that I stood up from my chair,bowed lightly to her and left the room.

"Phew!Looks like I dodged a bullet there"he thought while feeling pleased of himself."I just have to redo the essay. I just know she was planning to rope me into some scheme of hers. Excuse of being in the Literature club came in handy"

Classes were over and there were few students in the hallway,most of them heading towards their clubs.

He could already see soccer practice on the field from the windows.

He checked his clubroom door key again in his pocket as slowly walked tords the Literature clubroom in the old building. A little shut eye seemed nice to him for now.

Resting in the clubroom was his full intention but his plans were interrupted by a certain kouhai who seemed to be up to something again.

"Hachiman senpai!Yahallo!"

He was surprised by Isshiki,an underclassmen using that annoying greeting which someone in his class the hell did it mean anyways.

She had standing at a distance from other girls from her year who were gawking and squealing at the boys doing soccer practice.

He felt they were excluding her on purpose,the student dynamics seemed to have already been formed.

"What's up with that greeting?"he asked"And what are you doing out here? Haven't you join a club yet?"

He didn't really care but since she started the conversation he had to say something to at least let her know not to be too friendly with him.

"Well,I'm thinking of getting a position soccer club's manager."

Hachiman wondered why she would take a rather demeaning job of pampering the soccer team.

"Hayato"

He heard some girls squealing in the background and the the answer came to him.

The boys of the soccer team,in particular the blonde heartthrob captain Hayato Hayama.

He looked over to him for a moment,gave his signature smile and waved.

He just nodded and moved on. He saw Isshiki mesmerised by him for a bit. Apparently that kouhai was being friendly with his classmates to get closer to that guy,a clever tactic that he wouldn't deny.

"Well good luck with that"

He said that and briskly left the scene. He hoped to get some time alone in his clubroom but he was aware nothing would according to plan .However he could always hope it would.
