A/N: I know I'm late to the Oregairu party. I just finished the anime last week and I actually had a lot of fun watching it. Too bad I should've written this fic 3-4 years ago. Hopefully I'm not posting in a dead community. That being said... I would like to formally apologize for the blasphemy that I have written. Feel free to bash me with a review. Enjoy.

"No no.."

The morning before starting her second semester, Totsuka Saika was staring at her own reflection in the bathroom mirror. Her face contorted into a picture of worry.

"No no no no…"

She lightly touched her chest and found that there were soft, supple, cushions of flesh when only a few months ago, she had been as flat as a board. Smooth and sensual curves formed on her hips and waist. Her eyelashes had grown longer and her lips more pillowy.

"This can't be happening!" Saika exclaimed through gritted teeth as she clutched her hair.

For almost all of her life, she had been living as a man. She had everyone in school fooled. Her friends, teammates, even the teachers. Heck the only people who knew her real gender were her parents and that's only because they've seen her naked.

As she fondled her now nicely developed breasts, Saika thought back on the events of the past few months. In the span of just one semestral break, the growth spurt that had avoided her for years on end, decided to strike with a vengeance.

It started with her height. Though it was only about two to three inches, the sudden increase put her on par with the other girls at school. Then came the increase in size of her more womanly parts. Mainly her bust and her bum.

To make things worse, her parents were so thrilled with her growth that they insisted that she grow her hair out. She couldn't really argue much when it came to her parents so she ended up with a nice fluffy bob cut that reached up to her shoulders by the end of winter. The change was so drastic that it made it difficult if not, near impossible to hide her true gender. She looked like an entirely different person.

Overall her new body type was very similar to Iroha Isshiki, one of the school's idols.

Saika took a deep breath to relax herself as she leaned and put her back against the wall.

"Why did this have to happen now..?" She whispered to herself.

She thought of what she would lose when everyone eventually finds out. Her spot as the captain of the men's tennis club meant a lot to her. She may not have been built to play tennis, she honestly wasn't even that good, but it was something that brought her more joy than anything else.

And as for why she didn't just join the women's team.. Let's just say that she got along with guys much better than she did with gals.

Memories of middle school came rushing back at that moment. Back when Saika hadn't been hiding her gender.

People have always told her that she was cute, regardless of whether they thought she was a girl or a boy. That cuteness backfired when a huge population of boys in her middle school began falling head over heels for her. Guys left and right were lining up to carry her bags, pull out her chair, or open the door for her. In short, she got a lot of attention and it was really distracting. She couldn't even finish a game of tennis without being asked to hang out during the weekend.

To make matters worse, her popularity with the boys made it harder to connect with her fellow females. Was it jealousy? perhaps intimidation? Either way, the more popular girls seemed to avoid her.

It wasn't her fault that her kawaii levels stretched off the charts..

When she moved to Soubu high school, she saw an opportunity in the fact that her body seemed to have stopped developing. It was as if she never aged since middle school. While all the other girls changed to become more womanly, Saika remained flat chested and possesed little to no alluring curves.

Tricking people into thinking that she was male didn't take too much effort. Although she was much more feminine than the average boy, she also didn't possess the essential defining features of a girl.

She was still considered to be kawaii by most of the student body, but this time there was a barrier of gender that blocked off any romantic interest in her. She had solid platonic relationships with the guys and the girls never really saw her as competition. It was a good scenario she had going for her.

Too bad all of it would come crashing down at this moment. She had considered the possibility of her being a late bloomer, but she was sixteen for crying out loud! Puberty should have started three to four years ago.

What would her friends think when they find out? Would they be mad? Would they feel betrayed because she kept this from them?

Saika shook her head as she pushed those thoughts away.

No.. Her friends aren't like that. They probably wouldn't make too much of a big deal out of this. Yui, Yukino, Hayato, Hachiman.

"Hachiman…" She whispered his name as the image of the boy came into her mind.

He might not feel the same way but Saika considered him to be her closest friend in class. He doesn't open up very much with any of the others, but when it was just the two of them he seemed more at ease. Even if he acts like a cynical negative loner most of the time, she knew that he was a truly selfless person. Asking for help from the Volunteers Club was well worth it if it meant that she could befriend Hikigaya.

"I wonder how Hachiman would react..?" Saika whispered to herself as she twiddled her fingers.

She had known for a while now.. At first she couldn't fully accept it but she soon discovered that there was no point in trying to deny that she harboured some sort of feelings for the young man.

Seeing her own blush in the mirror further strengthened that belief.

Whether or not those feelings stem from hormonal attraction or something deeper remains to be seen, but she did know that her relationship with Hachiman felt real. It felt genuine, he didn't just hang out with her because she was cute. (Though that may have been a part of it…)

It was actually painfully obvious that she liked him. The way she would always look to group up with him on school activities, the way her face brightened up at the mere sight of him, the way she widened her eyes to look cute when talking to him, for crying out loud she whispered his name in her sleep.

Their interactions with each other thus far had been purely platonic. After all, there was the barrier of gender that stood between them and as far as she knew, Hachiman was straight.

At that moment an idea entered her mind that made her cheeks flush beet red.

"I-if Hachiman finds out I'm a girl then m-maybe we can…"

Saika shook her head with extreme vigor as she expelled all the inconceivable thoughts running through her brain.

"Ahhhh stop it Saika!" she reprimanded herself. "There's no way Hachiman would... Not with me."

Suddenly a voice called out to her, cutting her train of thought and making her jump.

"Saika! What are you doing in there?! You're going to be late for school!"

Saika slapped her cheeks as she took a deep breath. She decided to whisper a few words of self encouragement to prepare herself for the day.

"You can do this… Just be yourself…"

"Saika!"

"Coming!"

…..

Saika walked along her usual route to school wearing the signature Soubu High uniform. She looked to the ground and cradled her arms as she made the trip. It was clear that she was nervous. There was no telling how anyone would react to the inevitable discovery of her womanhood.

About halfway through her journey to the school, things got a bit weird.

She recognized a boy she knew from the tennis club walking in front of her. For a moment she considered turning the other direction to get as far away from him as possible, but after a moment of internal struggle, she concluded that he was bound to see her eventually so she might as well get it over with.

"O-ohayo Tomoya-san.." she hesitantly greeted him.

The boy known as Tomoya turned around at hearing the voice of his team captain only to find one of the cutest girls he had ever seen staring into his eyes and blushing red like a tomato. Her long silver hair and blue eyes reminded him of someone, though he was too flustered to think about it.

"Ahh-er-um.. I-uhh.. D-do I-uhh.." He stuttered like a broken cassette tape. What could this beautiful girl possibly want from him? Why was she so nervous? How did she even know his name?

Saika was slightly taken aback by her clubmate's behaviour. She cocked her head to the side as she asked, "Is something wrong Tomoya?"

"I-er.. N-no! I uhh.. S-sorry I-I have to go!" The poor boy began sprinting towards the school at top speed. His heart was beating so fast that he was sure it would explode if he stayed just a moment longer.

Saika had her mouth slightly open and eyes wide at her recent abandonment.

"Tomoya..?"

…..

When she arrived at Soubu, things got even stranger. People were staring at her left and right. Honestly, it was starting to get creepy. Whispers could be heard around the halls she walked.

"Who's that?"

"Is she new?"

"I hope she gets placed in my class."

"So kawaii…"

"Marry me…"

Saika couldn't make out anything they were saying but she could somehow tell that they were whispering about her. Now feeling more self conscious, she picked up the pace and began speed walking to her classroom. All these eyes trained on her were starting to make her sweat drop.

As soon as the entrance to the room was in sight, she quickly rushed in and shut the door behind her.

Breathing a sigh of relief, Saika turned around only to find that almost everyone inside had turned their attention towards her. The group consisting of Hayato Hayama, Yumiko Miura, Yui Yuigahama, Hina Ebina, and Kakeru Tobe, had stopped their conversation to observe the newcomer. Though in reality she wasn't actually "new" at all.

Tobe was the first to react.

"She new? Woah.. she's pretty don't cha think?" he said to his friends.

Hina proceeded to nod her head vigorously.

"K-kawaii.." Yui whispered as she stared at Saika with puppy dog eyes.

With narrowed eyes and a dark scowl, Yumiko commented, "Meh, she's not so great."

Saika couldn't stand being the center of attention in here any longer. Did they really not recognize her? She was going to have to tell everyone who she was eventually, but right now she was just feeling way too nervous. She clenched her fists as she looked straight to the ground. How could she explain this to everyone?

She began scanning the room, looking for a certain friendless loner and found him in his usual spot with his head laid down on his desk, earphones on and oblivious to his surroundings.

Right now there were just too much emotions running rampant inside her. If she couldn't tell the entire class at the moment, then she might as well take baby steps and start with the one person she trusts more than anyone.

Suddenly Saika rushed over towards Hikigaya Hachiman and hugged him by the arm.

"Hachiman!" She tugged at him in an attempt to get him off his seat.

Hachiman was completely startled by the girl who started harassing him out of nowhere.

"W-what's going on?!"

"I'll explain later! For now just come with me!"

All the bystanders present watched as the silver haired girl pretty much dragged a confused Hachiman out of the room.

When the door shut behind them, the students who remained immediately began chattering and clamouring.

"It looks like Hikigaya might have actually gotten himself a girl.." Hayato Hayama said clearly astonished.

Tobe looked over to his best friend and yelled in disbelief, "WHAT? No way that Hikitani could have scored a chick before me!"

"Too bad Tobe, looks like you lost to a friendless loser.." Yumiko barked out with no concern over her friend's feelings.

Meanwhile, as the group continued to chat amongst themselves, Yui stood in silence staring at the doorway where Hachiman had been dragged through. Her eyes were wide open in bewilderment. She felt her eye twitch and her fists clench at the thought of that girl touching Hachiman. Was she really his girl? Yui felt something sting in her heart, it was a feeling that was all too foreign for her.

"H-Hikki?" she blurted out, thinking of nothing else to say.
