Master of Teasing

"Go, Nishikata! GO!"

Attention! To understand the essence of this Chapter, you need to read the previous one! To understand it better.

Nishikata <POV>

Every day Takagi with new boyfriend studied together, walked together, ate together, etc. I really infuriated. Every damn day! We even had an argument.

- I'm tired of your jealousy!
- And you?! You told me we'd always be together! Didn't you?
- I did. I remember that! But, you missed your chance and now I'm with him! So shut up and eat! * stood up and walked to the door*

- Where are you going?!
- To Miyazaki! When will you get smarter?
- Hey, wait, what about me?
- What about you? I said, "You lost," and I go where I'm treated like a human being.
- I treat you like a human being. Don't leave me alone! Please!
- Cry again. Crybaby.

Takagi's gone... I'm alone. I sat down at the table and began to grieve for the loss.

"Takagi... Rie... But I am... DAMMIT! I am so screwed!"

I couldn't get over it for a long time. All these weeks I tried to deal with the loss, but every day I saw Takagi with Miyazaki, how they were having fun, and I felt really bad. The only one who helped me, it's Hinata. She was with me all the time. She brought the food (although she didn't cook at Takagi level, it was still delicious), she supported me, and even gave me her phone number.

She likes me. But I didn't care about that. I was trying to get Takagi back.
- Takagi, I brought you....
- Here, sweetie. These are beautiful flowers.

- Thank you!
But every time, he was one step further than I was. Flowers, bike ride, lunch, swimming, everything. He was one step ahead of us. I hate that jerk. But most of all I hate myself. I lost Takagi!

- Hey, Nishikata.
- Huh?

But... Hinata... She was kind to me, I'd be very depressed if it wasn't for her. And, I started... Dating her. We had fun together, played games, fooled around, took lessons; unlike Takagi, she don't teased me, but... I still felt bad. I want her to tease me. No! I want Takagi to tease me!

In some weeks

There were important competitions. And rain. The rain was very strong. Nishikata and the others were preparing for the competition. He noticed how Takagi was sitting on a bench with Miyazaki under an umbrella. She laughed and began flirting with him; Miyazaki flirted with her too. This greatly infuriated Nishikata, but he tried not to think about it.

- Good luck. - said Hinata.
- Thank you, Hinata.

The first competition began. "Archery."
