My elite romantic comedy is wrong, as I expected.

VOL 1 Chapter 9 Interacting

I decide to explore Keyaki mall, one of the ANHS facilities that makes them turn it into a small town.

I seem to be in luck because I don't run into anyone from my class, which saves me quite a bit of trouble, I don't want to interact with them at the moment.

I was hanging around different places to get a general idea of the place, yes, a reconnaissance mission, around 5 pm I go to the dorms, at this time the club fair is about to start.

On my way to the dorms I see a person sitting on a bench with several bags, I see it's a girl, she has pink cherry colored degraded hair that reaches her hips, blue eyes, average height and a well endowed body. Ichinose Honami.

Of all the people I had to meet the one I wanted the least, I pondered my options, what do I do, she still hasn't seen me, I can turn around and pretend I didn't see her,but as cliché as it sounds I would feel bad about myself for leaving her like that, stupid gentleman sense.Resigned to my fate I head towards her, she still seems to have noticed me because she has been looking at the ground.

Seeing a shadow approaching she looks up, if I hadn't mentally prepared myself I would have fainted on the spot because of how cute she is. We watch each other until I decide to speak.

Hachiman: You seem to have quite a bit of stuff, if you don't mind I can help you.
With these words her gaze lights up, hey, hey you have to learn to be suspicious of strangers.

Ichinose: Really?! That would be very helpful, please help me. Ahh, excuse me, I haven't introduced myself, I'm Ichinose Honami from class 1 -B.

Hachiman: mnm, Hikigaya Hachiman of class 1-D.

How would you would expect from a social butterfly, she is able to easily overtake me in conversations, I pick up the bags that are on the floor and indicate to her that we are leaving.

Ichinose: By the way, Hikigaya -kun, why did you decide to help me?

Hachiman: Isn't that the normal thing to do?

Ichinose: I seriously don't believe you, maybe it's because you saw a cute girl in distress that you decided to arrive like a hero.

This chick hit the nail on the head and it's bothering me, her tone of voice is touching a neuron.

Hachiman: You're right, that's why I did it, besides what the hell are you carrying in these bags, you wouldn't be in this situation if you were carrying a few things.

Ichinose pouts, please stop, my heart might explode from the excessive dose of cuteness.

Ichinose: Hey! Don't you know it's rude to ask a lady what she buys?

Hachiman: A lady? Where?

Ichinose: Silly

Hahahaha take that, the affiliated tongue is the only remarkable thing I have on my person. We continue to make meaningless conversation along the way.

Ichinose: Hikigaya -kun, you seem to be a very quiet person, but you are quite easy to talk to.

She says softly, but I think she means that I look unfriendly and is surprised that I can hold a conversation.

Hachiman: I guess

Ichinose: Tell me, tell me how you're going is your longed-for school life.

Hachiman: Hmmm, an illusion created by hypocrites for hypocrites, who believe that their life will be spent in vain if they don't get it, creating expectations and false hopes that allow them to be with people, this causes relationships with your peers to become merely out of cordiality covered by lies, deceptions and fraud that should be condemned, a self deception that surrounds everyone you interact with, if you ask me you know that people are like animals that walk in herds that are ruled hierarchy and always have their alpha male. It is the same with groups of people if you are not able to fit in you will be marginalized during your stay, on the other hand I am like a bear, independent and strong, I do not need the support of my species to survive, if you ask me in my next life I want to be reborn as a bear.

Ehhhhhhhhhhhh, Ichinose struck a chord in me, shit, it brought out a small part of my personality, now how will I cope with her.

As I suspected her face is with a crooked smile and expression is quite complicated please don't look at me like that, Ichinose Honami, one of the nicest people in the franchise looks at me with that face, it only makes me feel worse, that means even she is not able to stand my personality.

With that my reputation was totally in the ground.

We get to the dorms, and enter the elevator, I decide to break the silence.

Hachiman: What floor?

Ichinose: Ahh, the seventh.

I press the elevator button to the seventh floor, I'm not able to offer any more conversation after my little slip.But Ichinose decides to speak.

Ichinose: Hikigaya-kun, I don't know what you experienced, but I'm sure you just have to find the right people, after all you're a good boy.

There you are wrong Ichinose, I am despicable, sometimes I would like to lower my level of self-loathing but it's almost impossible for me. But I'd better keep quiet so as not to generate more conflict. The elevator stops and opens the doors indicating that we are already on the seventh floor, we get out of it and I follow Ichinose to her room, room 706, and I decide to give her the bags.

Ichinose: Thank you very much Hikigaya-kun, if you want you can come in for a drink.

Hachiman: No thanks Ichinose, I just took a little detour, you don't have to thank me for anything.

Ichinose: I see, Hikigaya -kun if you don't mind could you give me your contact.

Hachiman: Huh, sure, but why do you need it?

Ichinose: Haaaaa? It's not normal to be in contact with your friends.

What the hell, you consider me a friend already? We haven't even known each other for an hour, and she's already talking about friendship. This species is the most compassionate, just trying to follow his reasoning makes my head hurt.

Still in spite of my astonishment we proceed to exchange contacts. I say goodbye to her and decide to go outside for some fresh air and a drink.

Ahhhhhhhhhh, what the hell? , I'm screwed, I've always been alone so I've adapted to my way of thinking, but for other people it may be disgusting what comes out of my mouth, it just made the atmosphere very uncomfortable, I'll have time to sink in my regrets, the important thing is that I got the contact from Ichinose, she's a very useful ally and is quite reliable, not like the other two class leaders.

I keep wandering in my thoughts and the day is getting dark, I'm sitting on a bench, for other people being alone for so long is crushing but I guess I've evolved mentally so it's not an inconvenience. It's 8:30 pm, I guess I'll go back to my room. I'm on my way to it, I turn a corner when I see a person, I quickly hide.

Why am I hiding, it will make me look guilty even though I didn't do anything , I see a girl with pink hair that is loose with two small pigtails she is dressed in the girls uniform minus the blazer, it looks like she is taking some selfies, I recognize her she is Sakura Airi from my classes, or should I say her alter ego,Shizuku.

It's better to step back, Sakura is a very shy person if she sees me, she will think I'm a pervert and I really don't want to dirty my image more than it is.

I start to take a step backwards, when my phone rings with the message tone, talking about bad time, I decide to look at Sakura and she turns her head towards the sound.

Sakura: Who is there?

Almost as a whisper she says, this goes bad, What do I do, do I run out, No, better not, *sigh* I start to leave the corner, where Sakura seems to me to recognize.

Hachiman: Hello, Sakura-san, I'm Hikigaya from your class.

We meet face to face, but panic starts to take over her, she runs out and throws away her camera, I try to call her but she doesn't answer, hahhh, that hurts the little pride I have, I pick up her camera it seems it's not damaged, I guess I'll have to give it back to her.

I take a look at the untimely message that came in, I see it's from Hirata he says.

Hirata: Hikigaya -kun we could meet in your room, I need your help with something.

Hachiman: Sure. We can meet at 9:30.

Hirata: I understand, sorry for the inconvenience.

If you're going to apologize for causing discomfort then don't provoke it, although I have no malice towards this thought, I can't help but be curious about what needs help.

I go to my room to wait for the visit, change my uniform and tidy up the room a bit, put the table in the center
