"WHEN WE GROW UP A BIT, I MIGHT CONSIDER DATING YOU"

JOKE? TEASING? TRUTH?

YOU DIDN’T KNOW, BUT SHE SAID IT IN YOUR DISTANT CHILDHOOD

MADOKA RIKA

MADOKA

YOUR MADOKA

YOUR ARCH RIVAL

YOUR TEASING TOMBOY

YOUR CHILDHOOD BEST FRIEND

YOU’VE BEEN FRIENDS FOR SO LONG

YOU’VE BEEN RIVALS EVEN LONGER

YOU’VE BEEN THROUGH SO MUCH HAND IN HAND

BEATING UP BULLIES? DONE

RESCUING DROWNING CATS? EVERY TUESDAY

NONSTOP BASKETBALL GAMES IN HER BACKYARD? NOT A SINGLE DAY MISSED

YOU STUDIED TOGETHER

YOU PLAYED SPORTS TOGETHER

YOU DREAMED TOGETHER

MAYBE THERE WAS EVEN SOMETHING MORE?

THAT’S ALSO POSSIBLE

BUT SO FAR, NEITHER OF YOU HAS MADE THE FIRST MOVE

AND WILL YOU EVEN MANAGE TO MAKE IT NOW?

IT’S BEEN EXACTLY A YEAR SINCE YOU BOTH ENTERED UNIVERSITY

IT’S BEEN EXACTLY A YEAR SINCE YOU BOTH HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFULLY STUDYING TOGETHER

IT’S BEEN EXACTLY A YEAR SINCE YOU BOTH JOINED THE BASKETBALL CLUB

TODAY WAS A SPECIAL DAY

YOUR CLUB, LIKE ALL THE OTHER STUDENTS, WAS CELEBRATING THE FIRST DAY OF THE SCHOOL YEAR

MUSIC, DRINKS, FUN, CONVERSATIONS, DANCING

YOU HAD BEEN DANCING WITH MADOKA FOR GOD KNOWS HOW LONG

TODAY, THERE WAS SOMETHING SPECIAL IN HER EYES WHEN SHE LOOKED AT YOU

SOMETHING YOU’D ONLY FLICKERINGLY NOTICED BEFORE, WHEN SHE GAZED AT YOU

IT WAS MAGICAL, IT WAS INTRIGUING, IT WAS EXCITING

BUT

FROM AFAR, TOSHIRO FRIENDLY WATCHED THE TWO OF YOU

SO WHAT?

YES, AT FIRST TOSHIRO, YOUR CLUB PRESIDENT, WAS SLIGHTLY UNFAVORABLE TOWARD YOU

BUT THEN

TOSHIRO BECAME FRIENDS WITH YOU!

TOSHIRO ALWAYS SUPPORTED YOU, BOTH IN STUDIES AND IN SPORTS!

TOSHIRO WAS LOYAL TO YOU!

RIGHT?

SO WHAT’S WRONG WITH HIM LOOKING AT YOU, SLOWLY APPROACHING THE TWO OF YOU?

“YO, YOU GUYS BEEN DANCING NONSTOP — HERE, HAVE A DRINK”

AND YOU TOOK THE OFFERED BOTTLE

BUT AS SOON AS YOU TOOK A SIP, MADOKA, AS USUAL, PLAYFULLY SNATCHED IT FROM YOUR HAND

AND DRANK ALMOST ALL OF IT!

SHE HAD ALWAYS BEEN SUCH A MISCHIEF

SHE HAD ALWAYS BEEN…

SHE HAD ALWA…

THE GROUND SLIPPED FROM UNDER YOUR FEET

YOU FELL ONTO THE DANCE FLOOR

TOSHIRO CAREFULLY LIFTED YOU BOTH UP

TO THE OTHERS, HE SAID YOU WERE JUST TIRED FROM DANCING

HE LAID YOU DOWN ON THE NEAREST COUCH

AND T
