Master of Teasing

"Test"

In High School

Came the long-awaited test. Everyone began to prepare pens and notebooks. Nishikata tried to remember all the formulas and theorems, and Takagi teased him. 
- Nishikata, don't worry. Everything's going to be OK.
- Aha. You don't have to worry, but my parents will take all my pocket money for an "f"...no... Yeah... I have nothing left to lose, right?
-  Because you give consoles to your sister? - Takagi looked at Nishikata, who was disappointed  and suggested the idea: 
- And, you can ask your parents to buy you a new one if you write a test!
- Good idea... But, it doesn't work out . I'll get 2 again this year.
- Don't say that! We've been preparing all these days. I'm sure it will work out.

Flashback

<Nishikata POV>

Oh... I'm going to study with her today. She'll tease me again. Maybe I'd better get ready with Amaya, at least she won't get in the way.... No. Takagi is very annoying, but she's smart, kind and always willing to help... 
 "You're a man, and you have to be patient!" -  Nishikata remembered mother's words Takagi. 

She's right. I need to be more patient today.
-  Hi, Nishikata.

I turn around and see Takagi-San. She smiled and seems happy.
- Hi. 
- How are you?
- Good...
- Let's go Cycling.
- W-Why?!
- Afraid they'll see us?
- N-no! Just... it's not far from my house. We could walk.
-  Well.... *smiles.*.. I forgot my notebook with the solutions.
-  W-what? MY GOD! 
- Hahaahaha! I'm sorry, I'm really empty-headed.
- (Damn you, Takagi-san!) Well... let's go then.
- *smiles maliciously*
- But... Don't... tickle me.
- Okay.
Takagi and I started to ride a bike. Surprisingly, she kept her word and didn't tickle me.
- Nishikata... 
- What?
- On your shoulder a bug.

- W-WHAT?!? Where?
- *giggle*
- Haha. How funny...
Well, I'm used to that... Sort of... 
- Nishikata, say... When we finish school, where you going?
- I don't know... And you?
- Maybe i go "High school Yu: Ho:" (Hokkaido Prefecture)...
- Oh... I see. -(strange... I feel myself... wierd and... bad)
- I will need... move... 

- ... 

- ...
We both feel so... bad, i don't know why... but, i feeled it.
- I'm... glad... for you.
- ... Thanks...
When we came to the house of Takagi, I quickly went into the house and quickly got out. I didn't even have time to blink. Then we came to my house. Good thing I cleaned my room. Because of listening to her snide comments, I don't want.
- Wow! Your room look so... comfortable and clean.
- T-thanks.... Maybe, we start to study. 
- Sure. 

She took out a notebook with solutions and we began to rewrite. During this time she teased me...35 times. Record for it. While we were writing, I kept thinking about Takagi-San and her words about moving. It may be... we should break up... We're not even alike... But why I don't want let her go? 
- Takagi-San...
- Yes?
-  *blushes* Tell me... you really need that high school, don't you?
