Truth or Dare

The past few weeks have been miserable for me in terms of the teasing record. I got my butt whooped by Suzuki during these times.

I can't win against her yet! Damn it!

But today, I finally came up with something simple.

Kekeke.

"Tanaka, are you okay?" asked Suzuki.

"Yes, nothing is wrong, Suzuki-san."

How was that answer? Pretty cool, eh?

"I thought you were dozing off again. You're looking through the window for a while now. Are you even focusing in the class?" replied Suzuki.

"I…I'm listening! I just need to calm my soul for a minute."

"Eh…? Hmm…?" asked Suzuki in a mocking tone.

T…That accent…!!

"You're thinking of something pervy, aren't you?" asked Suzuki.

"N….No way!"

"Shut it, Kusakabe!" shouted Satsuki-sensei.

"Sorry…"

Dammit! I always get into trouble because of her.

"Hahaha… I know. You must be in thoughts on how you will win against me, right?" asked Suzuki.

"Of course, and this is the day that I will definitely be victorious! Let's do this later during break."

"I shall look forward to that, Tanaka." responded Suzuki.

Fufufu, you don't know what's gonna come, Suzuki! I only need to wait until lunch time.

....

The time has come!

"So, what are we going to do, Tanaka? Make sure it will be fair and square." inquired Suzuki.

"It will be, because we'll be playing the classic Truth or Dare!"

"Oh~, interesting. I'm in. What are the rules?" replied Suzuki.

She looks really attentive to this.

"Simple as eating a nut, we will do a toss coin in determining who will make the choice. For example, if I picked HEADS but TAILS appeared, then I'll be the ones to pick and you will give the command."

"Let's go with it. How about the overall result?" asked Suzuki.

"Well, if you have chosen DARE but you haven't able to do it, then you automatically lose."

"I'm excited, let's play it!" said Suzuki.

Fufufu, here is what I am planning.

If I win the round, then she'll have to do what I will say or else ask what question comes up to my mind.

If I lose the round, then it's okay. I just need to survive everything she'll throw against me. After all, I'm the toughest guy here. This will be a piece of cake.

If I lose the whole game, it's fine as long as Suzuki survives every time she loses. I'll make her do embarrassing things whenever she chooses DARE. I shall take a photo of her funny reaction while doing the task.

If I win the overall result, then much better even if the game went short. It will be the official win, after all.

It's like, "Losing the battle but winning the WAR.", fantastic!

I can't believe I have a talent for creating intelligent measures.

"Then, let's start. HEADS or TAILS?"

"I'll go with TAILS." answered Suzuki.

"Here I go! *tosses coin*"

That toss coin that I did, I can say it is spinning elegantly. I can feel my absolute triumph!

"Got it, and it shows.... T….TAILS!"

"Yay! I won!" said Suzuki with excitement.

Hmp, everything is according to the plan. I just need her to be fully attached to the game.

"Then for the pick, TRUTH or DARE?" asked Suzuki.

"I'll go with the DARE!"

"Hm~ I wonder what I'm going to ask you if you have picked TRUTH…" teased Suzuki.

"J…Just go with it!"

"Scream "I HAVEN'T BRUSHED MY TEETH THE PAST THREE DAYS!" out of the window three times.

Can you do it?" asked Suzuki.

B…But I have brushed my teeth well! People might not talk to me anymore!

Got to endure this!

"F…Fine. Excuse me."

"Say it loud and proud, Tanaka." mocked Suzuki.

Hnngg!! This is gonna be embarrassing!

"G….GUYS!! YOU KNOW WHAT?! I….I HAVEN'T BRUSHED MY TEETH SINCE MONDAY MORNING!!"

*repeats this twice*

"Hahaha!" laughed the whole class.

Crap! Now I have to deal with this torture! I'm breathing like I am so exhausted!

"T….That was splendid, Tanaka! By the way, it reeks already." ridiculed Suzuki while grinning towards me.

"P…Proceed with the next round!"

Calm it, myself! We just need to be resilient!

"HEADS or TAILS?" asked Suzuki.

"Still gonna go with HEADS!"

I'm a persistent guy, y'know.

"....The result is….." said Suzuki.

"W…What?!"

"HEADS! It's your victory this time, Tanaka."

HWAHAHAHA! I've been waiting for this!

"Sorry about that, Suzuki. You're a loser this time. TRUTH or DARE?!"

Come, cower with fear!

"DARE." nonchalantly answered Suzuki.

S…Shoot! I'm getting too worked up! Argh, thank God for this opportunity to capture her rare moments!

"Run around the hallway and shout "Oh my, I have some poop left in my underwear~" and repeat it until you reached the classroom again!"

How's that, Suzuki?! Can't take the mortifying result of this task?! Then hand me the win already!

"Sure." answered Suzuki.

T…The usual reaction?! Hmp! I bet she's hiding it but she wants to give up!

"This is the starting point, the door, right?" asked Suzuki.

"Yes, now you do this awesome dare!"

Kekeke, she started running!

"OH MY! I HAVE SOME POOP LEFT IN MY UNDIES, WHAT SHOULD I DO…..?!" shouted Suzuki as she gains distance from the classroom.

HAHAHA! Students around are grinning at her! T..This is amazing, now I have to execute the plan!

My 16 Megapixel smartphone camera will capture this satisfying scene.

"STORAGE FULL, PLEASE FREE UP SOME SPACE BEFORE CAPTURING MEDIA." displayed in the phone screen.

W…..WHAT?!!?!?!

WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE FULL RIGHT NOW?!

Ah, I remembered! I used my phone to download the episodes of Blushing Queen Futaba!

Darn, I have to delete these! Suzuki's embarrassing moments can compensate the loss of my favourite episodes!

"DELETE, DELETE, DELETE, DELETE!!!"

"600 MB OUT OF 3.0 GB SELECTED CLEARED. PLEASE WAIT." displayed in the phone screen.

NYAURGHHHH!!!

"CLEARING COMPLETE." displayed in the phone screen.

Yes! Now I can take videos of her!

Huh?!

"I….I'm back. It really was embarrassing, y'know. They were laughing at me as I say that line. Great thinking of a penalty, Tanaka." praised Suzuki as she is panting.

I RAN OUT OF TIME!!

CURSE ALL 32 GB ROM PHONES!!

I MISSED MY FIRST CHANCE!!

I have to be positive. There will be another in a while. Fufufu!

"You'll do the coin toss now, right? Here. I'll go with HEADS for a change." asked Suzuki.

"....."

"What was it?" curiously asked Suzuki.

"H….HEADS."

Damn it!

"Guess I'll be the master. TRUTH or DARE, boy?" questioned Suzuki.

Wow, she's really in character.

"D…DARE."

I have to survive!

"Hm~, what should I make you do~?" teasingly asked Suzuki.

"Just reveal it!"

"Sing any anime song that you know, until the end of the first chorus." ordered Suzuki.

S…..SATAN!

"W…WHAT THE HELL?!"

"Well, if you can't do it, then I win." stated Suzuki as she grins at Tanaka.

I currently watch three anime series but the only anime I watch without skipping the OST is the Blushing Queen Futaba!

I'm in trouble! I just can't sing it since it is from a shoujo-themed anime! I was hoping I knew a little bit from an action series but…!!!

"So, are you gonna do it or you'll surrender?" questioned Suzuki.

S….She's pressuring me!

"F…Fine! I'll sing!"

"Yay! Now go in front and release all of your emotions through singing." ordered Suzuki.

"I….I have to go to the front?!"

"Of course you need to, how will the others hear you if you stay here at the back?" rebutted Suzuki.

I…It can't be helped!

"What's wrong? Do it, Tanaka." instructed Suzuki.

"I…I'LL DO IT!"

Evil!!!

"E…Everyone, please cover your ears."

"Hmm?" murmured by some people in the class.

"*I am singing at this part for 2 minutes.*"

.....

"W…Wow Tanaka, you watch that series?" asked Koyanagi while in shock.

"Shut up! I just heard that playing from our neighbour every morning!"

"K…Kusakabe-kun, I never thought…." said Riko while also in the state of shock.

I WANT TO DIE!

"Hahahaha! T…That was… HAHAHA…. splendid, Tanaka. Hah…." said Suzuki while bursting out of laughter.

"I…I'll win this round! What's your pick?!"

"D…Don't be so angry, Tanaka. You initiated this, right?" asked Suzuki.

S…She's right.

I have to be composed or else I'll fail this mission.

"Here's the coin. Do the honor. I'll go TAILS."

"So… Here we go….!" said Suzuki as she tosses the coin in the air.

I…I need to have a chance!

"Tadaah! It's TAILS!" revealed Suzuki.

The time has come!

"TRUTH or DARE, Suzuki-san?"

"Hm~, since it is fun, I'll go with DARE." answered Suzuki.

You fell for it, Suzuki!

"Wrong move, poor girl. The penalty would be..."

"Would be…?" replied Suzuki.

"…taking a selfie with your crush!"

O…One of my trump cards! I bet you'll be embarrassed and gonna give up this round!

"Then..." said Suzuki.

"Huh?"

Why is she coming closer to me?

"…., smile with me, Tanaka." said Suzuki as she positions her camera to take a selfie with me.

W….WHY?!!

S…SO THAT MEANS…..

SUZUKI HAS A CRUSH ON ME?! EH?!

"I'll take it, look at the camera." requested Suzuki.

"O..Okay."

I WENT ALONG WITH IT?!

"HAHAHA! You're so red in this photo." teased Suzuki.

"D..Delete it! I am not that red!"

"Hahaha! Oh my, this is so funny! You're really changing pigment from white to red!" ridiculed Suzuki.

S…She's just said it to see me squirm!! Damn it, Suzuki!

She looks satisfied! Grrr!!!

"Y…You're really fond of mocking me, aren't you?"

" 'Coz it's fun to tease you, Tanaka. HAHAHA!" laughed Suzuki.

Tsk!!

"It's about time I toss the coin. Let's make this the last round since our score is tied at two. Agree?" suggested Suzuki.

"F..Fine! HEADS is my final attack!"

This is the deciding moment!

...….

"TAILS! Yay, the throne is mine again!" celebrated Suzuki.

T…THE HELL WITH THIS?!

"TRUTH or DARE, Tanaka?" asked Suzuki.

"D…DARE!"

I need to endure this so I can win!

"Then, your dare is to settle this round with the TRUTH option and you have to answer within 10 seconds." commanded Suzuki.

"H....HEY!!"

That method missed my mind!

"Now you have to answer my question, Tanaka. Are you ready? This is your potential winning moment." said Suzuki.

"B…Bring it on!"

I MUST WIN!

"Do you like me?" asked Suzuki.

W..Wait, did she seriously ask me that?!

I…I do not LIKE her but I do not dislike her either.

D…Does this mean I am in the neutral state?!

No, no, no. That is not a valid answer, speaking it could cause my demise!

Darn it, Suzuki! The question is a cheap shot!

Crap! My mind wants me to affirm to that question.

Self, don't be inclined too much to the situation! I can't think straight!

W…Why is my heart beating so fast?!

At this rate, I can't answer!

But if I said no, she might get offended or sad.

Nyaurgh!!!!! This is a pain in the butt!

I…If I said yes, an embarrassing result might occur plus a misunderstanding!

"Ding dong! Time's up, Tanaka!" declared Suzuki.

"Huh?"

"Come on, now. If you could have said Yes, then everything will be fine and you might have won." said Suzuki.

"That question was unfair, Suzuki! You're playing with me!"

"In what part? What I meant was if you like me as a person. What were you thinking, Tanaka?" asked Suzuki.

I…I'VE BEEN HAD!

"U..Uhmmm…"

"You're blushing really strong." said Suzuki.

"I…I'm not!

"Hm~ I wonder what idea came to your mind when I asked that. Hahaha!" mocked Suzuki.

SUZUKI!!!

"I won, Tanaka. I wonder what the penalty is~." delivered Suzuki as she continues her teasing.

My entire plan was destroyed!

"Just buy me a drink later while we walk home. Is it okay with you?" suggested Suzuki.

"F….Fine, whatever."

That reminds me…

"Suzuki, can I ask for your LINE address?"

"Hm~, so you wanna talk to me even we're not together, huh?" asked Suzuki in a teasing tone.

"N…no! You know, emergencies do happen so i..it is handy to have someone to contact."

"Hahaha, you're turning red again. Sure, here's my ID. Add me." answered Suzuki.

"Done, thank you."

"Let's test if it's working. I'll send you something." requested Suzuki.

"Uh, sure."

"There, saw it?" asked Suzuki.

"A video and a picture?"

Huh?

Wait.

WAIT!

This video….!

This is the time that I was singing in front!!

Plus this picture, she took me a photo while asking that misleading TRUTH question earlier!

MY PROPOSED PLAN WAS EXECUTED AGAINST ME!! DAMN!!!!!!

"Now I have something to add in my collection. Hahaha!" teased Suzuki.

S….SUZUKI!!!!!!

"Mhm, a very important collection. Hihi." whispered Suzuki as she happily looks at her phone screen displaying her selfie with me, as her wallpaper.

"What was that?"

"Nothing~" answered Suzuki.

"Come on….."
