Tadase's POV

"Ah! Chissa-chan! I didn't know you were there!" Nagihiko said.

"I made myself invisible."

"Oh, I now know."

"Do you always eat here during lunch?" I asked.

"Yeah..."

"Isn't it really lonely?" Nagihiko asked.

"Not really, someone from my old school always comes with his chara."

"His? He's a boy? Is he your boyfriend?"

"No, no! Of course not! I'm not taken! I'm single!"

"Haha, I was just joking!" Nagi laughed.

That was a relief. If she said yes, I don't know what I'd do.

"Gosh!" she pouted. It looked really adoreable. She looked like a little kid. "You're so mean!"

"Aww~! You don't mean that, Chissa-chan."

"I do!"

I wonder what kind of boy Chissa's friend is. "Chissa-chan, who's this boy?" I asked.

"His name's Nip. He's really nice. In fact, he's transferring here tomorrow. I'll introduce you guys to him." she explained.

"TADASEE-KUUNNNN~!" I heard Ushi yell.

"What's wrong, Ushi-chan?" I asked.

"I'm boreddd! Let's go play, okay?" she replied, while pulling me away.

Chissa's POV

I watched as Ushi pulled Tadase away. For some reason, I felt just a little pang in my chest.

"You really are having some fun in watching Zakura-san try to get Tadase-kun, aren't you Chissa-chan?" Nagihiko asked.

"Yeah. It's really entertaining." I said.

"Are you okay? You sound a bit... off."

"I'm alright. Don't worry."

"Chissa... do you... do you have a crush on Tadase-kun?"
