"Yagami Shiina and I are in a relationship."

I look at their faces to see their reaction. As expected, they are at a loss for words. I mean, 'Hikigaya with a girlfriend? Is the world ending or something?'

"Okay Senpai, that was a good one."

"Haha, you really got me good, Hikki!"

"I must commend you Hikigaya-kun. That bold statement almost made me believe you."

The girls each came out of their trance with a witty comment. I guess it is impossible for them to imagine me having a girlfriend.

"Well, believe whatever you want. Anyways I'm gonna head out right n-" I was cut off by the sound of a ringing phone.

Everyone looked around to see where the ringing was coming from. After the second ring, everyone turned towards me… to everyone's surprise, it was my phone.

"Ahh, excuse me guys," I say as I reach.

Yukinoshita gestures her hand to tell to go ahead.

I answer the phone, "Hello?"

"Hey Hachi."

I'm surprised by who answers on the other end of the line. I'm pretty sure we agreed that it would be a bad idea to call me while I'm at school.

"Uhh, why are you calling me now?"

"Mou, why are you talking like that? I thought I told you to call me Shiina." The voice on the other end pouted. "I was thinking maybe we could hang out a bit after your club or whatever."

"I-I'm sorry Shiina. I'm afraid I have some errands to run after school." I turn away from my club members as my face was feeling like it was on fire.

"Oh, that's fine. I'll go with you!"

"That's alright, I wouldn't want to bore you like that."

"I said it's fine! In fact, I'm already outside your school."

"What?!" I walk over to the window where we have a clear view of the main gates. Low and behold, a figure could be seen standing outside the gates. "Wow, you're actually here…"

"Yep! So, hurry up, Hachi!"

"Alright, be down there in a second" I sigh.

I turn to the girls and I can tell they were shocked by what they just saw. "As I was saying guys, I'm going to head out now."

I pack my book into my bag and start to head out when I'm stopped by a voice.

"Who…who was that, Hikigaya-kun?" Yukinoshita inquires.

I look back and see that she is half sitting and half standing in her chair.

I scratch the back of my head, "Umm, that was Yagami Shiina."

"S-su-surely you don't mean to tell me you were telling the truth?" Yukinoshita hesitantly asks.

"I was telling the truth earlier, though I had a feeling you guys wouldn't believe me." I say sigh.

"Senpai, on the phone call just now," Isshiki joins the conversation, "you said you were meeting with her just now. Is she really outside now?" For some reason, she looks worried.

"Yeah, she said she wanted to accompany me," I answer. "She's at the front of the gates now, so I have to hurry."

I feel a vibration in my pocket and realize it's my phone. I open it and see that I have a text from Shiina.

Shiina: Hachi!

Shiina: Hurry Up!

"Ahh, I really gotta go now, guys." I say as I head out the door. "Text me about our meeting on Saturday."

I leave the girls in the clubroom and quickly head towards the main gates. As I approach the gates, I see a girl with short black hair in a cute white summer dress fiddling with her phone. When I get closer, she turns and smiles at me.

"Hey Hachi"

-Yukinoshita's P.O.V-

As we all look through the window to see the scene that is unfolding in front of the school gates, we are silent. I can't believe what I'm seeing with my eyes. I see that Hikigaya is approaching the girl in a hurry. She turns to him and they chat for a moment before walking off. Just before they disappear from our vision, I see her slip her hand into his so that they are holding hands while walking.

I can feel my chest tightening after seeing all that. Why though? Why am I feeling like this? Is it due to the surprise that Hikigaya actually has a girlfriend?

"S-senpai?" Isshiki is still staring at the main gates even though no one is there.

"Is-is Hikki really dating someone?" Yuigahama turns to me for an answer.

I stay silent for a moment. "I…I'm not sure."

"But we just saw it. Senpai was walking off with the Onee-sama I saw the other day!" Isshiki exclaims.

"Yeah! And they were even holding hands…" Yuigahama pouts.

Still I say nothing. My chest just keeps getting tighter and tighter as the scene I believed to have witnessed keeps getting confirmed. What is going on with me?

"What are we going to do, Yukino-chan?!" Yuigahama turns to me again.

I raise my eyebrows, "What do you mean, Yuigahama-san?"

"What?! Do you mean you're going to let Hikki be taken just like that?" Yuigahama asks like it's the most obvious thing in the world.

Wait, why is she asking me that? Whoever Hikigaya dates is of no concern to me. But why does my chest hurt whenever I think about it?

Wait… do I care about him?

Author's note:

Hey guys, how's it going? After reading your reviews and seeing all the favorites and follows I've received, I suddenly got super motivated to update this story! Also, reading Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai (also known as Haganai) hyped me up, too! I totally recommend it to any individual who likes the Oregairu series (that's all of you, right? lol). In fact, if any of you awesome peeps could hook me up with volumes 10 and 11 of the Haganai series, it would be awesome. It's seriously hard to find translated versions online . Now I'm not asking my deep web users that have the powers to grant my wish to expose themselves…. but the PM feature is there for a reason ;)

Anyways, leave your reviews and any constructive criticism that you may have. I hope you enjoyed the chapter and stay tuned for the next one.
