Chapter 23: trials of the heart part 2: the danger of suggestion and thoughts
The hardest thing about being a teenager is people judge you for every little thing and no one can make up their mind if they want to praise you or hate you, stay inside to much you get lectured for being indoors too much, study to much you get a lecture for not having friends, have a social life get in trouble for not studding enough, the list is endless and its ruthless deepens on who is marking it but ruthless none the less.
"Hikigaya" a voice rang out through the class room, it was me teacher for this class Miss Hiratsuka.
"yes miss" I muttered out waking from my own thoughts.
"would you like to tell the class the answer" she says as I look at the board to see a question that I easily answer, she looks at me and sighs as she goes back to teaching and I go back to my thoughts.
One thing that this hard about today is that I tell people my fears, well not my fears but the consequence of dating me, it's simple you see, women are extremely complicated and anything can be used against you or get you into trouble, but when its girls against girls well let's just say things can get dangerous for everyone, for example my mother and grandmother didn't speak or see each other for two years because my mum was pregnant so early with me it took until I was one to calm the fires of that battle and even still today the ember is still there, now just imagine that with teenage girls, it would last a life time, if I was to date any of them at this point in time, the one that was dating me would be unanimously hated by all of them and that would crush whoever it was especially Yumiko or Yukino as they rely on friends as a source of strength.
It's hard being pain, its hard receiving pain but it's an inevitability like death or taxes, I know all routes that will happen today and none of them are good, even the one where I end up alone, we're at a state of equilibrium, were every action I make today will break the equation that is friendship, but they had run their course, it's time to end them and restart, well for them they can, I'm happy being alone again, of course it was nice being with Yukino last night, having someone there with you is nice but not necessary for everyday function.
But after last night's talk with my parents there is one route that is good ending but its incredibly hard, one that is the harem ending, that legendary ending that every male strives for is unlocked for me, but I've been having doubts about it, as I don't see it ever being able to work, but with my foresight always being bleak and realistic, I'll have to take a page out of Yui's book and try some optimism, like it would work but she seems to get by on it.
I look at my friends and think about my position, its hard but necessary, the day finished and I tugged slowly towards the Club room taking the long way so that no one can see me, that and so I could be last. I took my time and I reached the club, looking inside I saw everyone talking and being happy, though out this whole time I truly learnt what people meant by youth and I understand but it's not as great as its made out to be with all the teenage emotions that go with it, entering everyone looks at me and smiles and greets me, maybe just maybe this would work.
I sit down at my chair and pull out my book, well its actually a manga but, it fits my mood, I look around and no one pays attention to me, it's like I'm in my own world with background charters that are here, I slip on my headphones and I read. Fantasy one of the many escapes of the modern world from J.R. and J. to Ken Akamatsu and Taketsuki Joua and other fantasy authors they are the who keep me away from society, but I digress taking a small brake from my manga I looked up to see how they rooms dynamic was and it was thick, I assume it was because Yukino told them what happen and it was soon going to be my turn, looking back down I feel gazes on me, looking up I see everyone stare at me.
"what?" I ask as they all continue to stare at me.
"did you even hear the conversation" Saki asks me as I shake my head.
"well we were wondering what happened with you and Yukino so she told us and now we want your side" Yumiko said as I sighed.
"well nothing happened, we sat around and we read light novels, manga and watch some anime" I stated.
"really?" Iroha looked at me intensely.
"that's all that happened, nothing more" I state as everyone just looks down, hang on why are you all looking down with disappointed faces, was I meant to do something, even Yukino looks at me sadly.
"Aren't you forgetting something" she states as I mentally face palm, she told them everything, that includes her confession and the talk with my parents and the time spent in my room.
"yes Yukino confessed to me and spoke to my parents about it as well" I say as they look at me and nod.
"thank you Hachiman" Yukino states as it looks like she too didn't tell them that we kissed.
"so what's going to happen" Yui asked me, I knew this was going to happen this is where the hard part starts.
"well nothing while Yukino confessed to me it doesn't change how I feel towards any of you as friends" I state as they just stare at me as I point to everyone else watching as the girls just look at them.
"what is it wrong to have your friends here there going to have to learn eventually, why not at the beginning" Yumiko says as I just look at her, with what is going to be said this is going to end badly or very badly in different ways then I expected.
"sooo sempai" Iroha looks at me.
"well the thing is despite Yukino confessing to me, the problems are that one I can't choose…" I get interrupted as chuckles get thrown around.
"it's only been like what a few weeks, of course you count have chosen yet" Iroha says as I look at them unamused.
"Hiki go on" Yui says.
"well the other problem is you guys" I state as they look at me strangely.
"us?" Saki questions.
"yes, you guys" is say as they look angrily at me.
"and what are you trying to say" Yumiko glares at me.
"it's just that say if I choose someone, everyone else is going to be jealous of them and you're not going to have a friendship left" I say as the look at me and laugh.
"wow Hiki talking about the importance of friendship" Yui says as she looks at me "you're being serious" she jumps in surprise.
"why are you worried about our friendship, it's not like its braking apart anytime soon" Yumiko says as I look at her but Saki says my point first.
"I think he trying to point out that choosing a girl will create jealously among us, and for people like you Yumiko, and for Yukino, would be crushing, as you guys rely on friendship for moral support" Saiki states as I nod.
"so we can make new friends" Yukino defends herself.
"yeah you can but sorry Yukino she can't" Yui states as Yukino looks at her with her head down "I didn't mean it like that I meant it more along the lines of genuine friends sure you can have friends but they're not as good friends as we are" Yui explains as Yukino looks at her and nod.
"well you that Is a logical point, I've never really had a best friend until you came along" she agrees.
"but what do we do?" Iroha asked.
"well we have a few options, one: is one person wins and every one else walks away, sad and lonely and jealous, two I walk away and everyone remains friends and three…." I stop I can't say it, it's too strange, I mean Hikigaya Hachiman the loner has a harem, its unprecedented.
"and three we all be together" Yukino finishes the sentence for me.
"ok that sound…WHAT" Yui yells out after processing the last statement.
"you can't be serious" Saki says as like everyone else bar a few are in shock
"me… sempai and Yukino in a bed" Iroha tries to envision it in her mind but she can't.
"called it" Hina says as Yumiko looks at her.
"what do you mean called it, I expected to come from him, not her, not the stiff Yukino" Yumiko says as Yukino shoots her daggers.
"I am not stiff" Yukino says.
"of course you are" Yumiko says as Yukino puffs up her chest.
"well I've already kissed him" she says as the room goes quite with that statement as all the girls' heads turn to me.
'oh shit' I mental say as my palm covers my face and I shake my head.
"what was that" Yumiko says darkly to Yukino.
"I have kissed him" she reiterates as she smiles at Yumiko, and that was it the ultimate one up that Yumiko cannot top, regaining her composure she shrugs.
"it's ok, its only his first kiss, he has plenty more for me" she says as the others girls get fire up.
"no its going to me" Iroha stands up and raisers fist in the air.
"no Hiki is going to kiss me more" Yui states as the quite Saki sighs with me before quietly say.
"no its me" as they bicker amongst themselves about who is going to suck the oxygen out of me the most, and with that I with everyone else could not believe it.
"well Hachiman happy" Hayato laughs at me as I just look at him.
"why, why me" I groan out as I hear scribbling only to see Yoshiteru making notes on a piece of paper.
"yes this is going to be great for my novel" he quietly says to himself as I growl at him making him nervously laugh and put away the pencil and then were hear the words that shocked everyone.
"so are we going to do this, ya know be his lovers" Yui stated as they looked at her.
"I don't know" Saki said.
"aw don't be like that, just think were together at home as well instead of just at school" Yui says the argue amongst themselves as everyone quietly make my way from the class room and bolt down the hall and towards the gate as I hear foot steps behind me, stooping in place I see everyone else bar the girls with the exception on Hina who is with us as we headed home.
'this was a bad idea' I say to myself as I successfully escaped home waiting for the girls to find me.
