Master of Teasing

"Hide and Seek"

In High School

- Alright, class. Open textbook on page 43. said Tanabe sensei.
Takagi sat at her Desk... alone. Nishikata was not and she was bored and sad.
- (I wonder, where is he? Hmm... Maybe he was up late reading 100% Unrequited Love again.) 
Tanabe sensei telled the lesson, and Takagi was thinking about Nishikata. She is constantly looked at the clock and at the door.  The lesson came to an end, and there was no Nishikata. Takagi began to worry and was very puzzled by his absence.
The bell rang and class dismissed. Takagi was upset and even decided to call Nishikata. But Amaya suddenly appeared and offered to walk.
- So... Wanna walking together?
- ... Yeah. Go ahead.

On street

Takagi and Amaya we were walking together and Amaya noticed that Takagi was sad.
- Hey, Takagi. Um... Wanna play in Hide and Seek?
- I... don't know... 
- Сome on. It will be fun.
- ... Well... let's play, then.
- Okay, the rock, paper, scissors!
- I win.
- Yeah... Lucky. Well, go hide. 1,2,3,4,5.....
Takagi ran to hide and she found large and thick bushes. She briefly forgot about Nishikata and laughed a little. 
- Where she go? I'll find you!
- *giggle* 
Amaya's voice became quieter and quieter, and then completely disappeared. Takagi came out of the bushes and looked around.
- Hmm... Strange. Where is she....
- BOO!
- Aaaaa!!! - Takagi screamed and fell out of fear. - You got me.
- Hahaha! 
- Hahaha!
They both laughed and then Takagi remebered: 
- You know, Amaya. It reminds me when I was playing hide and seek with Nishikata. I always liked his reaction. He was so... unusually and funny.
- You missed him, right?
- ... Y-yeah... 
- Say, Takagi. Why are always teasing him? I know, he's reactions is so funny. And I laughed at it all the time. But still, why? 
- Because... I like watching to his reactions. 
- That so... And honest...
- *blushing and grin* I liking him.
- And if you will be more honest.
- ... *blusing more*
- Well, okay. Keep your secret on you. Tell me that's what. How you thinks, he liking you?
- Yes! What a stupid qustion.
- Not stupid. Because today I saw Nishikata dating some girl, and to whom he gave something and even hugged her.
Takagi was shoked. She cannot belive, thats Nishikata dating some girl. She was really upset and depressed.
- YOU LIE! - Takagi shouted with tears in his eyes.
- If you not trust me. Then ask your Nishikata, i think he explain everything.
Takagi looked at Amaya with the evil look from which tears flowed and ran to Nishikata's house.

Near Nishikata's house

- It's not true. It... It cannot be true. Everything is a lie! - Takagi thinks about Amaya's words. 
Suddenly, she saw how Nishikata going with some girl. The girl was slightly below Nishikata and growth like Takagi. She held his hand tightly as they walked home together. 
Takagi couldn't stand the betrayal and the ran with tears. 
-  Takagi-San? Wait! You misunderstood. - Nishikata tried to catch up with Takagi, but she just ran away and yelled: "Get away from me!"

Takagi's house

Takagi came running in tears home, and for Nishikata're trying to explain, that happened. 
- Honey, what happened?
 But Takagi ran himself into the room and continued to cry. 
- Sweety, what happened? Sweety?! Um...

*A knock at the door*
- Who else is there?
Takagi's mother open door and see Nishikata, who was out of breath from running.
- Nishikata? What happend to you?
- Wh-ere... *inhale exhale* is Ta-kagi-san....? *inhale exhale*
- She in her room. But you need to expain what happend to her and you.
Nishikata told me what happened. 
"My cousin called me yesterday and told me it was her birthday. That's why I wasn't be at school today. I congratulated her and spent time with her. We very rarely see each other, so I decided not offend her, gave his console and hugged her. She was so happy that we spent time together and went home together. Well, Takagi saw us together, and misunderstood."
Heard it all Takagi and going down, she embraced Nishikata. 

She crying from happiness and from what Nishikata not would cast a her.
- Wait, Nishikata. Then why didn't you tell me about it?
- No time. We met at 6 o'clock in the morning. Oh, my phone didn't charge.
