Master of Teasing

"Preparation for Competitions"

- How are you feeling? - asked Katashi.

- Normally. A little nervous. - said Takagi.

- That's okay. Be calm and everything will be fine.

Takagi, along with the rest of the students began to dance the official dance Academy. Takagi was a little different than usual. She was nervous and was shaking; she looked in different directions, trying to see Nishikata, but never seen it.

- Hey. You okay? - one girl asked.
- Yeah... I am okay. Just a little nervous, that's all.
- Hmm... Maybe you should sit down and rest.

- No! I'm fine, honestly!

Suddenly, on the field emerged one a boy. He was in a brown sports uniform, with black short and disheveled hair. His green eyes were filled with fire and passion.

All the girls looked at him with great admiration and respect; they could not tear their gazes away from him.

- Wow!

- It's so pretty!
- And cool!

- He's superb!

Oh, the guy was just walking around the sports square and looking around. Suddenly he saw Takagi and walked up to her.

- Hi.
- Hi.
- Miyazaki, Hideaki.
- Takagi, Rie.
- Beautiful name. Nice to meet you.

- Me neither. *smiled*

They sat down on the bench together. "Hmm... He's okay. Nice. Polite. Calm. Friendly. Strange, and why he come to me."

- Because you lured me to you.
- What?! How? (Now I understand Nishikata's reaction. How did he know what I was thinking? What does that mean?)

- Because it's the first question usually ask me. I already subconsciously know what you girls think. - he smiled slyly.
- Really? That's interesting. (Well, let's see Miyazaki, let's see what you are. Nishikata won't let me go so easily.

- By the way, isn't your boyfriend running over there?

Takagi took a closer look and saw Nishikata. He ran at a normal speed and a little breathless, he kept on running.

- That's him.

- Heh... He's frail.

- Don't talk about him like that! He's not frail. He's just short of breath, that's all.

- Not all. He needs good physical training, breathing exercises, and in General he should lose weight!

- What?! Talk sense! He's fine! He, incidentally works! You're not!

- I work as a consultant in a hardware store and earn 360,000 yen.

- Whoa! - Takagi very strongly stunned from such sums. - (A, Nishikata only 230 yen a month.) It doesn't do you any favors. Just because you're richer than him doesn't mean you're better than him.
