"Friends to the end, right Niski?" Teasing Master Tagaki San

Good Morning

It was a dark stormy night. In a very bright carnival in town as it's all closed. No one was in, expect for one. Or at least he thought he was alone. Nao. Cleaning up the mess and the section he works at in the carnival. He has some problems of course, especially with the boss of the company. A lot of rumors or something with the boss, something like he's crazy, too crazy to where he's not stable yet he's working. Meanwhile so he's cleaning as he gets chills as if he's not alone.

"Hm. Seems off here, but im sure it's all gonna go well. Just this week and two more and this will no longer be needed since school is coming soon. And hopefully spend my time with my girl. Seems promising!"

He says to himself. Until behind him, comes the boss. He wasn't noticed it yet. Know how he's crazy, i mean super crazy. He was carrying a gun. He didn't seem right. Something was way off.. Nao was still cleaning until he noticed it with side of his eye.

"What the!? B-boss!?? A-are you-.. what are you doing with a gun?.."

"-..I need to take my frustration-.. out of someone.."

He reloads his gun as he faces to Nao. Panicking as he has no idea what to do. The boss then attacks him as Nao would dodge and try to fight back.

"B-boss!!! Don't fucking shoot!"

"I will you litle shit!"

Nao kicks him hard as he drops his gun. Nao picks it up and tries to stop him

"Stay still! Don't m-move!"

"You wouldn't shoot me!"

He then brings a knife out and attacks Nao. As he pulled the trigger. And shot him, dead. Nao in shock. What the hell just happened. He defended himself, only to be in deep trouble. What now? What else can he do to protect himself? So he ran off and brought the gun with him. Many scenarios in his mind now. Wondering, what can happen in the future.

15 years later:

"Nishikata! Wake up! Time to go to school! First day for 8th grade!"

"Ugh.. not now.."

Great. Summer break flew by like a litlre leaf as school is upon them again. Womp womp. He looks at himself in the mirror. Washes his face to wake himself up. Remembering all of elementary to 7th. But would mostly be filled with one, that one and only person. Who would always tease and basically bully him everyday, Tagaki-San. Oh boy. How much he desperately wants his comeback badly. But as much at it sounds he tries and yet he doesn't succeed.

"Just only... well... 10 and half months. And I'll be fine. And i, can finally graduate."

He said to himself. Hoping that'll be a boost he needed.

"Honey? Are you talking to yourself??"

"H-huh!) no mom! Just uh.. you know getting ready!"

He said as he puts his usual school uniform on. Eats breakfast by his dad.

"Hey son! You know what the time of the year isss!"

"Yeah, hell?"

"Hahah! Wrong! It's!.... Graduating!! And not only it is a sign that you are special and is very successful! But is a sign of you being old and having to pay taxes soon!"

He said as it double downs on Nishikatas thoughts. 'Great dad, thanks for that' he thought of

"Uhh... right. Can I eat?"

"Oh yeah!"

He eats his breakfast. And makes himself at least look good. Since it is the first day of school. But not just any ordinary first day of school. It's 8th grade. This is all serious, kinda. Just one question he thought of. Will Tagaki and him be in the same high school? Acting like a litlr kids and playing around? He can't say that it won't happen yet, Tagaki has somewhat matured. It did bother him, kinda. Shes like somewhat a part timer yet, still dangerous. As he gets ready and is about to leave, he's stopped by his parents.

"Hold up bucko!"

"Honey! Before you go! We just wanna say something."

He turned around and looks at them. Surprised he gets a hug by both of them.

"We're so proud of you. Keep doing. And we will all be happy, for your graduation, we love you son"

He smiled and hugs them back. Unexpected about that.

"I will do my best guys. I love you!"

He leavs as his parents smile and is happy how they raised Nishikata so well.

Now comes the walk to school. More like the walk to of shame. But at least they're the top dawgs of the school. Basically having powers and is very cooler than the lower grades. That's what he thinks but also everyone. As he thinks about graduating. It's going to be tough to move on. To a new school and beginning. Will it ever be the same?

"Boo!!"

"Ahhh!! Ugh! Gosh darn you Tagaki!!"

Then summons the boss, Tagaki-San. She still got it, and he's very... jumpy.

"Hey Niski, ready for 8th grade?!"

"Uhhhhhh..... no not really. But what can I say? It's business"

"Haha! Cmon grumpy! It's gonna be fun! Knowing we're becoming, teens~

She giggled and tried to poke at Nishikata. All he can do is sigh and hope for the best. As they walk together as they usually do back in 5th. Tagaki always looked the same , he didn't want to admit it. But he does think she looks cute. Just doesn't know how to tell her. If only.

"Niski!"

"Yes Tagaki?"

"What do you think will happen this school year?!"

"Uhhh.. teasing, tests, teasing, talks about high school, teasing, anddd graduation.. and teasing."

"Haha! Cmonnn Niski! This is so important for us! I promise you! It's gonna be fun! Trust me!"

He can't deny. Every year has been at least well or good. But he didn't know this year would change te friendship of these two, forever. As they walk and made it. They both look at the school building. One more before entering.

"So Nishikata? You ready for this!?"

"Yeah.. I guess so!

"Hey Niski! Keep a promise okay? Even if we do go to another school or we split up,"

"Yeahh?"

"Friends to end Nishki?"

"Yeah,, friends to the end Tagaki."

He smiled as Tagaki smiled back as they both make their entrance, back to school. On the road for Graduation.
