บท 1836: An Unlikely Ally

“Do you think I’m someone that can be played around with?”

That’s how I responded to Maaya’s warning. The most popular girl in our year gave a long, hard look before sighing and shaking her head.

“Yeah. If it’s you, it will be the other way around.”

“Right?”

Disregarding who was watching us, I moved behind the girl, wrapped my arms around her back, and planted my lips on her cheek in quick succession. Then, I returned to her side and helped her out with her work as though nothing had happened.

Maaya’s exposed ear involuntarily reddened as she huffed to air out her complaint, “Warn me if you’re going to do that, hateful guy.”

“Understood.”

I playfully smirked to further annoy her. Maaya used her elbow to hit me from the side but that only got me another chance to tease her. I slipped my arm around her back and acted like I supported her.

Yep. Nothing would really beat teasing my girl and watching her reaction.
