“I - found - ya~” I teased when I appeared directly in front of her face and wrapped my arms around her waist.

“Wha!” She let out a startled yelp as I pulled her into my embrace and moved my face close. From the student council president’s angle, it looked like I kissed her, but in reality, we faked it the way we practiced in preparation for today.

With her chest pressed up against my body, I felt her heart beating out of control. It was definitely a result of the excitement from our little game of hide-and-seek and from her being discovered by the student council president.

I whispered so only she could hear me.

“You won this round, but don’t get so caught up in a little game of hide-and-seek that you forget the original objective today, you stupid girl.”

Her body jolted in my arms as our eyes connected. When she was reminded of her original objective, her hands slid up over my chest and wrapped around my neck to fully convince the student council president of our relationship as two stupid lovers.

After our short ten-second act, I pulled away from her. As I turned around, I kept my left arm behind her wrapped around her waist. The student council president stood there frozen with a stiff expression.

“Ah, sorry man, I didn’t notice ya there. I was looking for my girl for quite a while now. If I found her before anyone showed up, we were gonna do it in here. What a shame, getting cock blocked like this.” I put on a delinquent-like crooked grin.

“Do it... no, it’s none of my business....” He turned away ready to leave when I suddenly called out to him.

“Ah, wait a minute, pal... I’ve seen ya before. Hmm... where was it?”

“You’ve seen me before? I don’t believe we’ve ever met.”

Good, he didn’t recognize me at all.

“Oh yeah, I remember ya now. You’re that loser who was chasing after one of my girls.”

He stopped in place after he’d taken a single step forward.

“One of your girls? I think you’re mistaking me for someone else. I don’t chase after girls, they chase after me.”

“Nah man, I remember you for sure.”

“From... where exactly?”

“The school dance man.”

The second he heard the words school dance come out of my mouth, his left arm lashed out toward me. He grabbed my hoodie at chest level and furiously pulled me out of the box toward him.

Having the girl who caught his eye stolen and being unable to do anything about it. He wouldn’t be able to get the girl even when I cheated on her. When he reached that realization, he’d instinctively want to get back at me somehow. But how would he be able to do so?

Naturally, by stealing one of my girls. Since he wouldn’t be able to get the girl he really wanted, he’d set his sights on Izora.

All Izora had to do was resist his advance and make things difficult. Make him really work hard to try and snatch her away from me. Doing so, a crack may appear which she could exploit to turn the sham into something authentic.

This was the beginning of the game I’d arranged for the student council president.

The commotion had drawn the gazes of others in their class. Alicia had also been drawn to it and approached closer to see what was going on. When our eyes met to the right, she tilted her head to one side at first. She didn’t immediately recognize me.

“Oh? Look who it is, pal, speak of the devil.”

I redirected the student council president’s gaze to Alicia on our right.

“Alicia, it’s as you see, your boyfriend is cheating on you.” The student council president took the chance to expose me in front of her.

I raise one brow at her.

“My boyfriend... is cheating on me? Ah!”

She finally put two and two together.

Her eyes moved over to Izora and sized her up.

She took a step back caught off guard when she realized the identity of the girl behind me.

The student council president let out a relieved sigh and said, “Haaaah. As expected, he was bluffing about you being okay with him cheating on you. Your reaction suggests you had no idea. Well, it looks like your relationship with Alicia is over, scumbag. You won’t be able to deceive her any longer.”

“Alicia, come over here,” I called out and beckoned her forward.

She snapped out of her surprised state, gave an innocent nod, and approached my side. She started scrutinizing my appearance, but her eyes darted away to the side every now and then.

“What is it?” She raised her fist up in front of her lips and asked shyly.

The student council president’s eyes opened wide in disbelief when he saw her reaction that didn’t fit the situation.

“Alicia! What are you doing? He’s cheating on you!”

I wrapped my right hand behind her waist and pulled her close until our bodies touched. “Sorry man, she’s fine with it. Just accept your loss and forget about her. She’s the kind of girl who likes my type. You’ll never be able to get through to her. But... I’ll tell ya what. Since I feel bad for ya, I’ll take pity on ya. If ya can make the girl behind me fall head over heels for ya, I’ll break up with Alicia.”
