A/N: This is for that one guest who asked for a story involving Sagami, sorry it took so goddamn long. Also, this is my first time writing in third person, so sorry if it sounds sorta awkward and all. Also I created a bit of a backstory for Sagami, since not much is known about her.

Sagami Minami is staring at the ceiling

The time is currently about 1PM in the lovely city of Chiba, in the Chiba Prefecture of Japan. And in a small house in a nice neighborhood in small world in a small solar system in a small galaxy in a big universe, lays a girl with short red hair on her bed. She's looking up at the ceiling and has been doing so for the past hour and a half. This girl's name is Sagami Minami. She's a student currently attending Sobu High, a rather fine establishment of a school. A school she spent the better half of her middle school life studying to get into, in order to get away from, as she would call 'asshats', that tormented her throughout her middle school life. She was tormented due to her looks, she was rather overweight during the time, and decided that she had had enough. She made it her goal to get into a school that she knew no one from her middle school would attend. And during the last few months of middle school, she also made it her goal to lose weight. And she did.

She also upped her wardrobe for casual wear, throwing away old clothes that were now too big for her. And she felt good about doing that. She accomplished a goal and stuck with it, something she can't say she's ever done. And now here she is, lying here, still as a corpse, staring off into the ceiling as if it were the night sky. Why is she doing this? Is she depressed? Having a bad day? Well, it's all that and more.

Y'see, about 2 weeks ago, this 'lonely bastard' as she calls him, named Hikigaya Hachiman, insulted the living hell outta her. Why? Did she do something wrong? Did she deserve it? Those are the questions that have been invading her mind since the incident, which we will now refer to as 'The Rooftop Incident'. But that's not the only thing invading her mind. She's been having conflicting thoughts as of late. Thoughts about that 'lonely bastard' Hikigaya Hachiman.

Hikigaya Hachiman is a tall hunched over fellow, who's main notable trait are his, as most put it, 'rotten eyes' and his completely unremarkable presence. This poor lonely bastard of a man has the eyes of a dead fish. How unfortunate, right? But there's no need to fret. As this young man is surrounded by women whom are atrracted to him. However, as like most anime/manga/light novel characters, he is completely oblivious to their feelings. Or, rather, he chooses to be ignorant of their and his feelings.

He's also quite the intelligent lad. Scoring within the top three in Japanese and English, but completely failing pretty much everything else. He's terrible at Maths, the Sciences and somehow Lunch. He's also terrible when it comes to his and others feelings. He's constantly relying on logic rather than emotions. So much so that he's sometimes referred to as 'The Monster of Logic' by a devilish woman with too much time on her hands who's also crushing hard on said 'Monster of Logic'.

This girl, Haruno Yukinoshita, is just one of the many girls whom harbor affectionate feelings towards Hikigaya Hachiman. She likes him because of how cruel and pessemistic he is, often seeing through others with those rotten eyes she adores so much. Her own sister, Yukinoshita Yukino, also likes Hikigaya Hachiman, because he is her pillar of support and banting partner. Yukinoshita's best friend, Yuigahama Yui, also has feelings for him, a certain puppy-like love for saving her own puppy, whom also has a puppy-like love for Hikigaya and often wags his tail when he sees those fishy eyes. The black lace wearing Kawasaki Saki habors uncertain feelings aswell. Hikigaya Hachiman, after all, confessed his feelings to her, screaming "Love ya, Kawasaki!", while running away from her and causing the motorcycle to overheat and take some time to herself locked in a stall in the boys bathroom she accidentally ran into. This other girl- boy, I mean, is also crushing hard on him. This little angel is called Totsuka Saika. This young handsome swan causes Hikigaya Hachiman to question his sexuality at times, something Totsuka Saika wouldn't mind helping with.

But none of those really matter now, because this story is about Sagami Minami. As mentioned in the first paragraph, she's lying on her bed staring off into the ceiling. She's been doing so for the past hour and a half. She's not only depressed, but she's also having a bad day. She keeps thinking about the Cultural Festival and 'The Rooftop Incident'.

Sagami Minami was chosen to be the head representative for her class along with the lonely bastard. She was chosen because her dream boat, Hayama Hayato, the stupidly handsome dashing young man with a 100-watt smile who's also the most fakest piece of absolute shit in the world, suggested her to become the main female rep for the class. Sagami Minami being the way she is, desperate for attention and full of desire to impress others, accepted the suggestion and thus her fate was sealed.

She hadn't really noticed the fact that Hikigaya Hachiman was the main male rep for her class. She didn't really know, or care, who he was. She had ran into him during the Fireworks Festival. He had been hanging with Yuigahama Yui, the girl with a puppy-like love for him, when she saw him. She chatted with Yuigahama Yui for a bit and stole glances at the oaf. Hikigaya Hachiman was just standing off to the side looking like an idiot, he had looked over at their direction with a small glare, a glare Sagami Minami returned with no complaints. From that glare alone, the both of them knew that there was a mutual hatred between them, even if they were to never meet again.

She noticed him again when he passed her to get into his seat. She glared at the back of his skull and saw him turn around after he sat down to return the glare. Again, the mutual hatred between them was evident. You could cut the sexual tens- You could see the amount of hatred in their eyes.

She noticed him again after she was made the rep for the committee, when this pretty young woman came to school. This pretty young woman's name is Haruno Yukinoshita, the girl who calls Hikigaya Hachiman 'The Monster of Logic', who's also crushing hard on him and who's sister was also crushing on, albeit in a discreet manner, who in turn has a best friend named Yuigahama Yui, who's also crushing hard on Hikigaya, and this girl has a friend in her clique named Ebina Hina who's friends with Kawasaki Saki, the black lace wearing motorcycle, another girl who's crushing hard on Hikigaya, and all of these girls have something in common: They know of a boy who is named Totsuka Saika, who's also crushing hard on Hikigaya. You see? Everything boils down to Hikigaya Hachiman's sweet sweet angel Totsuka Saika. Totsuka Saika is the key.

This young woman came in and strutted her way straight to Hikigaya Hachiman, who's face had a look of pure tiredness, obviously revealing that he's put up with her shit before. This young woman, acted all touchy feely with Hikigaya Hachiman, something that irked Sagami Minami. She thought 'Why the hell is a beautiful woman like her, interacting with a creep like him?". After chatting with Hikigaya Hachiman, Haruno Yukinoshita made her way to the front. She sided with Sagami, something she was glad about, but with ill intention. Haruno is often called a 'Devil' and for good reason too.

Certain events happened after that, mainly Sagami putting off her work to other members of the committee, causing them to harbor feelings of contempt, and her completely failing to deliver a speech. Soon after that the infamous 'Rooftop Incident' took place, we'll discuss that later.

Anywhoots, Sagami Minami is lying here. She decided she's had enough of staring at the ceiling and decided what to do. But what should she do? She said aloud.

"But what should I do?" Sagami Minami said aloud in her spacious crimson walled room full of cute posters of cute dogs and cats and bears.

Sagami Minami's room is pretty nice. Spacious and full of all sorts of things. Her walls are a pretty shade of crimson. Her bed is a nice size, her blankets and covers are all crimson, her pillows a clean white. Her floor is a clean shade of light brown, there aren't any imperfections with her carpet. She takes care of it after all. Her bed is in the far left corner of her room when you walk in, next to it is a window that gives Sagami a nice view of the city of Chiba. Next to her bed is her drawer, where she keeps random items and where she has her alarm clock and small light. Next to that is her desk which stands directly in front of another window. The only place in Sagami's room that isn't clean. There are papers and pencils and pens and colored pencils and different colored pens and sketchbooks and watercolor pads and erasers and notebooks and brushes and pencil pouches and other things that litter her desk. It isn't really known to her friends, but Sagami Minami is quite the talented drawer. One of the things she's most proud of. On the right side of the wall, is her flat screen T.V that sits on top of a wooden T.V stand with a cabinet, that when open, reveals her gaming systems and video games along with her collection of blu-rays of movies. She's quite the closet gamer, and is secretly an anime fan, her favorite directors being the great Hayao Miyazaki and Masaaki Yuasa, both a great inspiration for her in regards to her art style.

Her closet stands on the side next to her door directly across from her red bed. And on her bed lies a laptop and a Wacom drawing pad, both of which she uses to draw in Photoshop and other software, often drawing cute posters of cute dogs and cats and bears and landscapes and cityscapes and people and their faces and other things.

She swung her legs over her bed and stood up, gently dusting off the nonexistent dirt from the skirt she was currently wearing, she looked around the crimson walled room full of cute posters of cute dogs and cats and bears. She looked to her closet and then down to her clothes. Sagami Minami is currently wearing a simple light blue shirt and a simple maroon skirt, along with some cute socks that had cute pictures of cute dogs and cats and bears. Sagami Minami loves cute dogs and cats and bears. She decided to change into something else.

"I should change into something else" Sagami Minami decided and muttered aloud.

She walked over to her closet and opened it. She glazed over the contents of her closet. It consists of mainly red clothing articles. Sagami Minami loves the color red. She always had loved the color red. The color red reminded her of her now deceased mother. She was a wonderful woman, she remembers. Her mother died when she was just 5 and her father remarried when she was 7, to an equally wonderful woman with pretty auburn hair that's usually tied in a ponytail. Sagami Minami loves her mother dearly, she also loves her step-mother just as dearly. She can't say that she loves her father, however. He left three years after he remarried and she hasn't heard from him since. Her mother works all the time to support her and doesn't see her often. But when they do see each other, they spend the time together. Often watching Hayao Miyazaki movies in the living room or simply basking in the comfortable silence that envelops them or talking about cute dogs and cats and bears, something her mother loves as well.

After looking through her closet she picked out short maroon shorts, and a white button up. She grabbed both and flung them on the bed. She walked over and undressed herself, making sure to lock the door and close her curtains. After a while she put on the short maroon shorts and the white button up. She rolled the sleeves on the button up to get a more casual look and headed for her door to go down the stairs and get her shoes. She did so and went down the stairs to go and get her shoes, which were red shoes, of course.

She headed out the door while softly saying goodbye, despite the fact that she knew her mother is working right now and wont me home until nightfall.

"Goodbye, I'll be back soon" She whispered to no one in particular.

Once outside and once she let her eyes adjust to the sun's rays she realized something. She didn't know where she was going.

"Wait... where am I going?" She realized.

Instead of going and walking out and down the sidewalk, she just sat down on the steps leading to her house. She rested her elbows on her knees and held up her head with the palm of her hands. She whistled a tune absentmindedly whilst she thought of where to go.

I can go to the mall, maybe? She thought. I can go to the park? She thought. I can maybe go to a café? She though.

"Yea I'll do that" She answered her third question.

Sagami Minami decided to go to the cafe. She got up and walked down the cobblestone path onto the sidewalk and took a left. She walked down the sidewalk with her hands in her pockets and her head looking straight down the sidewalk.

Sagami Minami had always been this way. She's always been more on the tomboyish side in regards to her looks and to a certain extent, in regards to her personality. She's never really dressed up in skirts, apart from her school skirt and the skirt she wears when she's lazing around the house or just when she's laying in bed staring at the ceiling, and prefers things like jeans and shorts and simple tees. However, she will dress up if the occasion asks for it. One such occasion being the Fireworks Festival, the place she first saw Hikigaya Hachiman.

After walking for what seemed to be about 15 minutes, she finally made it to her destination. A small café that's next to a small little bookstore called "Paige Turner's Books"[1]. Sagami Minami's first mother and current step-mother often took her to this café. So much so, that the owner of the small café, an American woman in her late thirties but looked as if she were in her early twenties, named Lorelai, more or less became Sagami's second- or rather, third mother.

And Lorelai feels the same way, she sees Sagami as her own daughter. Lorelai feels this way because she herself has never had a daughter. She is infertile and has no husband- or rather wife due to her sexuality, to speak of. And Sagami's deceased mother and current step-mother are okay with this. Sagami also loves Lorelai like she loves her previous and current mother.

Sagami Minami entered the café and heard the small jingle when she opened the door. She saw Lorelai picking up a few cups from the front counter and walked towards her. She gently tapped her on the shoulder when she reached her. Turning around, Lorelai saw Sagami smiling at her.

"Oh! Sagami, dear! How are you?" She said to Sagami as she put down the cups and hugged Sagami, burying her face in the crook of her neck.

"I'm doing pretty decent, Lorelai. How's business?" Sagami asked after returning the hug and basking in the warmness and scent of lavender and coffee, something she could lose herself in.

"Oh y'know, same ol' same ol', most of the usual customers are here" She said after the hug ended.

Lorelai smiled at Sagami and cupped her cheek and stroked it lovingly with her thumb. She asked:

"So, how's your mother?"

"Working as usual" Sagami answered

"Working as usual, huh? She sure is a hard worker" Lorelai remarked as she went back behind the counter.

"Yeah, she sure is" Sagami agreed while looking at the overhead menu. She decided on a simple cup of coffee.

"What would you like, sweetie?" Lorelai asked for her order.

"Just some coffee is fine. Extra sweet"

Lorelai went and got a small cup and filled it with some hot unsweetened coffee from the coffee machine, she added some cream and extra sugar to it and handed it to Sagami, who was waiting patiently behind the counter.

"Here you go sweetie" Lorelai put the cup down next to Sagami "You're gonna rot your teeth someday, dear."

Sagami paid no mind as she took a sip of the sweet coffee. Sagami has always had a sweetooth.

"Your just like another customer of mine, funny thing is, he's about your age too. I think he goes to your school too, I think" Sagami raised her brow at this "You go to Sobu, yeah?" Lorelai asked

"Mm-hmm" Sagami hummed in response.

"Maybe you know him?" Lorelai asked the young girl

"He's a bit taller than you, black messy long hair, seemed to never smile, and get this- he has the most unique pair of eyes I've ever seen"

Sagami looked up at Lorelai after drinking her coffee and asked "Unique eyes?" with a certain level of hesitation. It couldn't be him, she thought.

"Yeah, he told me people tell him that his eyes look like that of a 'rotten fish'" She told the younger girl.

Sagami's eyes widened with surprise. She knew who Lorelai was talking about. She's talking about Hikigaya Hachiman, the number one loner of Sobu High who has way to many girls falling for him. His eyes are his most prominent feature, other than being completely unremarkable.

Sagami had a whirlwind of thoughts at this point. Hikigaya comes to this café? Why would he come here? Since when? And does he know Lorelai like I know her? Is he actually here right now? He's not a regular is he?

Sagami turned her head behind her to see the rest of the inside of the café. She surveyed the denizens and found that Hikigaya Hachiman is nowhere to be seen in the small café.

However, unbeknownst to her, Hikigaya Hachiman was next door. He is currently browsing the Light Novel section of the small bookstore named 'Paige Turner's Books', and will be moving on to the Mystery section very soon. After that, Hikigaya Hachiman will have a hankering for a cup 'o joe, and will go next to the café. Doing so will cause a plethora of events to happen: an argument with Sagami, a nice cup of coffee, the arrival of the Devil, conflicting emotions, ramen shops and walks in the parks.

Hikigaya doesn't know that'll he'll cause it, but everything that'll happen to him will be one of the best things to ever happen to him.

[1] Paige Turner's Books is a fictional bookstore in the town of Motorville in the Level-5 and Studio Ghibli video game 'Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch. Also there has to be someone named Paige Turner who owns a bookstore, it not then that's bullshit.[2]

[2] Footnote/ Reference in a footnote?[3] Fraser, the main host of the Youtube channel 'farfromsuble' stated this when playing Ni No Kuni: "If I ever met a Paige Turner and find out she didn't own a bookstore, I would call her an asshole."- Fraser Agar- To Be A Wizard!- Ni No Kuni is AWESOME- Part 3

[3] David Foster Wallace is notorious for his use of footnotes in his work, he often had a footnote within a footnote and referenced other footnotes that created a sorta labyrinth of footnotes.
