I was wearing my shoe near the locker when soone patted on my shoulder quite roughly so that I almost lost my balance. I leaned against the locker with my right hand and quickly slipped my foot in the shoe and turned around to look at the person.
Of course it was none other than my friend. Tsūn was standing behind with a huge grin on his face. I could tell by that grin that sothing good happened with him today and he was dying to tell about it. I decided not to make him wait and started heading out the building with him walking beside .
"Why are you smiling like that? It's creepy."
"Hey! Well… so, you know what happened?" He said in a cheerful voice.
"No," I said blatantly.
"..." He looked at like he was so done with my antiques. He closed his eyes and sighed.
"Tell , how else am I going to know about it?"
"Are you trying to piss off?" He said, narrowing his eyes at .
"I was just kidding. Tell about it. Did Hiromi-san ask you out or sothing?" As I ntioned her na, he slightly blushed and looked at . Even though he was trying to play it off cool from outside, I know he was nervous and probably embarrassed at the ntion of her na.
"Wha… nothing like that." He said, shaking his head from left to right and moving the index finger of his right hand as a gesture to oppose my comnt.
"I see." I said, while nodding. We were out of the school campus and were walking towards the downtown intersection where we separated our own way.
"Actually, I managed to impress my sensei after a long ti. Well, not only him but the others too." He smiled.
"What did you do?"
"So… I don't even know how that… maybe it was a coincidence." He said while clenching his left fist frequently.
"What?" I asked, as I had no idea what he was talking about. All I could understand was that he impressed everyone in his club and was having trouble believing that he did it.
But what did he do?
He looked at with a cheeky smile and said, "Ahh… so I shot this arrow at the gold… which wasn't impressive since I could do it easily." He took a small pause and raised the index finger of both of his hands and continued, "I shot another arrow right after that and I don't know how, it pierced that previous one right in the centre." He showed the scene by touching the tips of both of his index fingers.
(A/N: Gold is a term used to describe the centre of the target which is often coloured yellow.)
"The gold… hmmm… that's quite impressive." I was indeed impressed by his skills. I knew he was good at archery but the event he told was quite a difficult feat to achieve.
"Ah, it's not that… I think it was a coincidence." He said while laughing awkwardly. He was also not good at handling complints.
"Well, coincidence or not, it's still cool. Like those shonen protagonists you know."
"Ayy, you're trying to make cringe. Bruh!" He said, wrapping his arm around my shoulders and shaking aggressively.
"Ahhh… my bad, my bad" I said. He may not know it but this guy had one hell of an upper body strength. Mainly his forearm muscles were developed. He was a person I wouldn't want to arm wrestle against, but if we're talking about hand to hand fighting, then the outcos can differ.
"Ooof, anyways… I wish Hiromi-san was there to see that." He sighed and let go of .
"You wish!" I said jokingly while straightening my collar and adjusting my tie.
"I'll surely get a girlfriend before you. You're going to remain a virgin." He said.
Oh, how wrong is he? Well he is not wrong, I did get a girlfriend but then she forgot everything about it so can't really consider that. But if he gets a girlfriend then I'll be happy for him. I know many girls are dying for him but he has his eyes only on one person, Hiromi-san. Despite his carefree attitude, he knew how to stick around with anything. May it be archery or a girl who he loves one sidedly.
"Oya, talking about a girlfriend reminded … are you trying for Yasurouka-san?" He said while giving side glances and a smirk.
Ah shit, he noticed it. As I expected this morning, he did have an idea of my exchanges with her. Well, looks like I'll have to prepare myself for his endless teasing.
"Um, trying as in?" I decided to play dumb.
"Oh please, I know you, don't I play dumb with ." He nudged with his elbows.
"What?"
"See, you have been talking with them for soti now. Since Kizhashi already has a boyfriend, she's out of the question. Remaining person is who? Yasurouka." He looked at and wiggled his eyebrows.
"Are you interested in her? Romantically?" He emphasised in the last part.
"I'm not."
"Ah, then you are interested in her because of her big chest?" He looked at with shock in his eyes.
"Saishi, I know you haven't felt a woman's touch in a long ti, but you have to control your libido, man!" He patted my back while laughing.
"Bruh… how did you even…." I narrowed my eyes.
"It's my talent. Don't ask how." He showed his index finger at and I decided not to ask him anymore, since he will probably give so weird answer that will give brain damage.
"See if you want to be sneaky about your love life then don't worry. You can always tell about it." He put his hand on my shoulder and nodded.
"Well, if I ever feel like I'm falling in love with soone, you're the first person I'll talk to."
"Oh, such high thoughts of ." He nodded with a proud smile.
"No…" I said in plain tone and laughed it off.
"Well, she is a nice girl so you can go for her." He said that and I looked at suspiciously since he rarely talks like that.
"What? I'm genuinely saying this." He sighed. "Anyways, see you tomorrow." He added.
We reached the intersection and he went his separate way. I was standing at the zebra crossing waiting for the light to turn red. My eyes were still on his figure walking into the crowd and disappearing monts later. The light turned red and the crowd around started walking.
I crossed the road and headed towards my ho. There were many thoughts in my mind at that ti, but the major one was that I can't let him be too involved in this matter, and for that if I have to lie to him for the rest of my life, then I'm fine with it.
I've been called a liar by soone I held my dearest at so point of ti, so I couldn't care less about soone calling a liar again.
What a waste of ti.
