Taichi didn't expect Gero to laugh at him. He was laughing at him right now. His laughter was loud and it sounded evil. When Gero was done laughing he rubbed the bottom of his nose.
" You're looking at it all wrong. The key is not trying to act cool and just trying to be cool by getting really friends. Real friends like you even if you aren't cool."
It was true. Gero liked Ian before he even became cool. That was when he was a nerd who dressed up like a detective and go searching for mystery. Gero smiled and raised his thumb for a thumbs up.
" It's not friends I want." Taichi commented squeezing his hands together. His face was turning red. " It's my childhood friend Fumi Yuu Reisutso."
Gero felt a pit in his stomach. This little boy was asking for his help in making a girl fall in love with him. Gero felt he was not the person to do this for him. Getting people to fall in love was something not everyone could do. And if this girl was cute Gero would try to take her for himself. It was a classic hot girl cliché.
"Her name is Fumi Reisutso. We were friends in elementary school and—"
" Let me guess." Gero interrupted. " Her breasts got bigger and more boys are paying attention to her than you." This was only a guess. How was Gero supposed to know looking at Taichi's sad face that he was right? A small tear dripped down his cheek. "You don't have to look so depressed it was just an observation. I'm sure she still likes you."
" I don't think it matters if she likes me or not. I'm uninteresting, have bad grades, cry whenever I stub my toe, and I don't have much going for me at the moment."
" So you're telling me in your whole life you grew up to be an uninteresting, bad graded, crybaby who stubs his toes and doesn't have much going for him?" Gero was surprised when long white lines with triangle tips went through Taichi's chest and disappeared after Taichi made a loud depressed sound. "Did arrows just go through your chest?"
To make matters worse Taichi kneeled down and put his arms over his mouth. He was clearly depressed about what circumstances were going on. Gero rubbed his arm through his eye thinking of something to cheer him up. All he could think about was one question.
" If nothing is going right for you than what are you asking me for?"
" I was wondering if you could help me get Fumi's attention. I heard about the kid in our class Kana and saw you talking to him. I spoke to Kana. He said he was a big nerd who was picked on a lot until you came along and helped him."
A little angry red crucible mark formed in Gero's head. He was ticked off. " You actually talked to Kana?"
It was Kana's fault Gero was in this mess. Kana was probably asked to help Taichi first and knowing how sneaky Kana was he blamed Gero for how he got a girlfriend because he was too embarrassed to speak to Taichi like a man. That pit in Gero's stomach turned into a firecracker of rage. The next time he saw Kana he would be sitting in the couch and Gero would have his hands wrapped around his throat.
" I don't know what Kana told you but all I did was be his friend when he had no friends. Ian and I thought he was cool in our eyes and we wanted everyone to see how cool Kana was. Kana also didn't get our help when he tried finding a girlfriend."
" Can I ask you to do something?" Taichi asked. His words sounded like a request. Gero had been through enough requests to know what they usually ask for in the end.
" I'm not going to pretend to be a robber that will steal her purse and then you get the purse back to her."
"Absolutely not. That trick hasn't worked since 2010. And Fumi is the heart of plan of trying to win her with a plan is not going to work. I want you to teach me how to be someone Fumi would want to be with."
"Alright. But before I help you I need to see what this Fumi girl looks like."
" Her name is really Erina Kaoru. That's just the name everyone calls her."
" Then let's go see Erina Kaoru."

Gero was taken to the perfect place to find girls who were going to run around in bloomers. The track and field. Gero never knew there was a track and field in this school. Gero's favorite part of track and field was the high jump. In that event you could jump as high as you want over a big steel vault. It almost felt like you were flying in the air when you jumped. And the coaches were females with big boobs and blue sweaters.
Now wasn't time for Gero to have fun. He was going to help his new friend Taichi win the heart of the girl he liked. " Okay, we're at the track and field. Now where is Erina?"
Taichi pointed at the track and field. His finger kept moving because the girl he was pointing at was running very fast. She was a girl in a red track and field jumpsuit. Her skin was tan and her eyes were dark and big like a cat. Her eyes were blue and her hair was long brown with a pointed part sticking out. Her boobs were big. Her uniform was a little slow and it was showing her midriff. The tingling in Gero's head told him they were not only big but also squishy. He wanted to grab them.
" That's her." Taichi said softly.
" Wow. I can see why you were insecure about asking her out. She's really cute and I don't really care about girls my own age."
" Yes but I don't think you should go near her."
" Look at that ass. It looks like…giant marshmallows."
" Stop talking about Erina like that. She's not that kind of a girl."
Gero continued looking at the track and field when a slender but also muscular boy was catching up to her. He caught up to her and smiled at her. Erina smiled back at him. His skin was tanned like Erina's. He had black hair and purple eyes. His nose was a little bigger than most boys but his face helped hide his big nose.
" That guy is getting very close to her." Gero said poking his elbow into Taichi's side. Taichi was not amused.
" That's just her brother Tamura."
" Oh good. I mean if he wasn't her brother I'm sure she would be all over him."
" Gero—"
" He's got great abs, and he's got dark skin like her, and he has that beautiful short hair—"
" Please stop making me feel bad about myself!"
" Sorry."
Taichi was starting to think that bringing Gero along to the track and field was not such a smart idea.
The running stopped. The people running had towels behind their heads and drinking bottles of water. Erina was talking to her brother Tamura. Taichi tried walking down the stairs but his feet were shaking.
" Just go down there and tell her how you feel."
Taichi was pressured by Gero. He just walked down the stairs and walked on the field. On the benches Gero was silently chanting words of encouragement.
" Come on, Taichi."
Taichi had his chance. Erina was walking to the locker room. Taichi's voice was feeling a little sweaty. If Taichi didn't say anything Erina was going to walk into the girls' room and he wouldn't be able to talk to her. It hurt like a turtle biting his tongue but Taichi called out to her.
" Hi Erina."
Erina stopped for a moment. "Taichi?" Erina turned around. She saw her old childhood friend gleaming with bright white teeth and leaning against a bench. Taichi with one hand on the bench raised his other hand to wave at her…the bench broke and Taichi fell down. " Taichi!"
The gym teacher blew a whistle in her pocket. She rushed over to where Erina was to aid Taichi. Erina looked mad at her.
"Hey, how did this bench break?" She asked.
" I have no idea." The gym leader picked up piece of the bench. On close examination the bench looked to be made of solid steel. " Maybe it's just gotten so old that it broke."
Erina grabbed Taichi's head. She looked down at Taichi and he, still conscious, stared up at her. The sun was reflecting her gorgeous eyes.
" Does your head hurt, Taichi?"
Taichi felt a heightened level of arousal when he stared at Erina. He was thinking about how cute Erina was and how her boobs were falling down to his face.
'I can see Erina's boobs. Their so…their so…'
Erina shrieked. Her shrieking noise rang through the whole stadium. Gero jumped thinking it was her noticing him staring at her boobs, but she wasn't pointing at his pants…She was pointing at his eyes.
" Ah! You had an aneurism!"
" We have to get him to the nurses office." Erina's brother Tamura said.
Gero had a feeling he knew what happened. Taichi so aroused seeing Erina's boobs and hitting his head started bleeding from his nose. It's what most men do when they see something sexy. The school nurse arrived with a stretcher and carried Taichi to the nurse's office. Erina was standing next to Taichi and holding his hand.
Gero smiled from his teaching. He didn't really teach him anything but Gero was so proud of himself helping Taichi find a girl. Of course it was bad how Taichi has to go to the nurse's office.
" I better see how he's doing. But first I should skate around the field. I always wanted to see if you skateboard around a dirt field."
