Baka and Test

I'm Minami Shimada, and I'm in love with an idiot. The problem is, my best friend, Himeji is in love with the same idiot. WEll, it's not exactly a problem problem, as he is the densest guy in the universe. My friends, Yuuji Sakamoto, Hideyoshi Kinoshita, and Kouta Tsuchiya all know about this situation as he is such a see-through BAKA and and it's causing everyone a lot of grief.

Today, Akihisa made more jokes about my lack of matter *up there* and my total flatness. I twisted his arm and repeatedly drove my knee into the small of his back and he shouted with pain. I should be the one shouting with pain. HE EXASPERATES ME SO MUCH! Heck, I kissed him and he still refuses to acknowledge-or can't acknowledge-that I like him. And then he makes fun of me. He thinks it's in laughing jest but I'll tell you it really hurts when your crush makes fun of you.

I leave him collapsed in the hallway muttering "why me what did I do wrong" and walk into the classroom. I sit down carefully next to Yuuji and Hideyoshi. Muttsulini is probably taking perverted pictures from the school roof as it isn't really time for class yet.

"Ohayo, everyone!" I say. I get a lazy "yo" back from Yuuji and Hideyoshi smiles at me. Akihisa now walks in, nursing his injured arm and somehow supporting his back at the same time. He gives his idiotic smile that makes my heart beat faster. As soon as he sits, Himeji rushes in, panting, cheeks red, as she's a little late. Akihisa immediately smiles and walks over to her. A sour feeling squeezes my heart. Yuuji looks at me sadly and Hideyoshi puts an arm around me to console me. Kouta is taking the opportunity to try to take pictures under my skirt, but even he raises his eyebrows at the idiot's antics.

It hurts, but it's an ache. It's happened, over and over again. The pain, I'm used to it. I've decided, over and over again, to try to get over that baka, but I can't. Love is a merciless trap.
