Ayanokouji in Oregairu

A normal day

It has been a week since I joined Sobu high and I think I am settling in quite easily. The classes teach the level of academics that I mastered as a 10 year old , I plan on scoring high but not take the 1st place as I don't want to be seen as the best in academics in our school. During the classes too I answer frequently as to already gain expectations so my marks in the future exams don't come off as a surprise. As I finally reach class the students rankings for the previous exam I was ranked 5th in the entire grade and had similar rankings subject wise.

Yuigahama: Woh ho, Ayanon good job.

Ayanokoji: Well I did work on academics. You can do better as well, I wouldn't even mind helping you with tutoring.

Yuigahama: Hehe.. well thanks I guess I will take you up on that.

Yuigahama Yui she too is a member of the service club and also my classmate she isn't particularly good at academics but she has shown exceptional social skills even on par with the likes of Hirata from my previous class. She even nicknamed me at our very first meeting in the clubroom. There must be more to her than I see though. 

Hikigaya: So you're good at academics too ha.

Ayanokoji: You did quite good yourself especially in Japanese you ranked higher than me.

Hikigaya: Don't forget that I just barely passed in maths and science.

Hikigaya Hachiman he seems to be intelligent but has terrible social skills even worse than my own. He seems to get straight up hate from most people, Yukinoshita mentioned his dead fish eyes which I don't find that strange but seems to be the reason of the social disapproval he gets from others. The homeroom and classes commence and finish as scheduled, after that I as I get up from my seat to visit the clubroom Miura calls out to me.

Miura: Kiyo, come here for a sec.

Ayanokoji: Yes.

Miura: You ranked the highest in our class and 5th highest in the entire grade. I am not that good at studying and stuff but I do feel the need to step it up.

Ayanokoji: That's a good change you are trying to bring in yourself Miura. Let me know if you need help with anything.

Miura: I know you were helping Yui too I guess I can count on you Kiyo. Oh and feel free to call me Yumiko.

Ayanokoji: Oh sure ,then later Yumiko.

Yumiko: Hu- uh , yeah (mumbles) woah that caught me a little off-guard.

That was unexpected calling other by their first name indicates the closeness in friendship incase of opposite sex it can even mean a relationship however I never knew what got me and Yumiko this close she only helped me get adjusted in the class and we greet each other on a regular basis. I have only seen her call member of her clique with first names and from what I have been informed by Yamato she only calls limited people from her clique by first names. But this has taken some time I better hurry up and reach the clubroom. When I reached there I saw all three members sitting there.

Yukinoshita: Good afternoon Ayanokoji kun.

Ayanokoji: Good afternoon to you too Yukinoshita.

Yuigahama: What took you so long Ayanon?

Ayanokoji: I was chatting with Yumiko.

Yuigahama: Hehhhh?

Yukinoshita: By Yumiko could you be referring to Miura san.

Ayanokoji: Yes, she told me I can use her first name.

I take a seat next to Hikigaya as I spot him staring at me, when I looked back he moved is eyes away.
