"What do you mean by genuine?"
"..."

"What do you mean by genuine?"

"..."

"Stop irritating me Hikkio.. Just answer me already."

"...and why would I do that?"

" I don't know."

"Also from where did you hear about this 'genuine.'?"

"From somewhere…."

"I can't bother myself with you any longer." as Hikigaya gets up from a bench.

"Wait." as Miura grabbed his arm.

"Just let me go. I have somewhere better to be."

"What about genuine?"

"Find it yourself."

"I don't know… That school president was talking about you and something genuine."

"Ughh.."

"Stop looking at me with a disgusted face."

"Ok then." as Hikigaya gets rid of her hand which was latching onto his arm and walks away.

That's what happened today. I got ignored.. By Hikkio of all people. But to hear the word 'genuine' from Hikkio is surprising. But then again Hikkio is a Emo guy underneath who might have said it to sound deep or.. Whatever emo guys do.

Yet the word 'genuine' is stuck in my head.

"I want to know what it means… even if I ask him everyday." I realized I spoke out loud.

The Sagami incident.. The Kyoto incident.. It was always Hikkio who gained attention for the worst. Yet I can't get rid of the feeling that he knows something, I don't.. It stings.

I had planned to put some effort into interacting with Hikkio but doing this inside class would be the worst for both of us.

But today I got way too close.. Especially his face. I can never see fish the same again. At Least I will not forget Hikkio anytime soon. Why am I happy about that?

What really is my genuine? And why does it feel like I am missing it?

But to chase after someone like Hikkio to just get an answer.. Guess my life is going to ruined by Hikkio_
