"The Annoying Junior and Childhood Friend and Me"

"Senpai!" A loud voice called out suddenly from behind, and a shoulder was tapped. It was my junior, Takako Shinshiro. A first-year high school student with short hair dyed blonde, a uniform worn casually—well, if she kept quiet, you could call her a beautiful girl. "Ugh, you're so loud. Every single time." Yeah, she really gets on my nerves, I thought. I'm Shota Imai, a perfectly ordinary second-year high school student. Takako and I have been childhood friends since elementary school. When we were small, she used to follow me around like a little sister. But around the time I graduated from middle school, Takako's appearance became flashier. Since then, she's started to tease me, or rather, make fun of me. And yet, Takako still stays by my side. Wouldn't it be better if she didn't pay so much attention to me?
