Love Rival (1)

Every time I ride the bus that drive me to the school, I always see that girl

A girl with white fair skin, look good when wearing Touka High School uniform, with her long braided hair. But I don't know anything else about that girl.

Fall season.

I'm Hori Takehito, 17 years old boy.

Is this falling in love in the first sight?

.....

Hori Residence, at my brother's room.

"Brother, please help me, please? Just once, only for tomorrow. Please say yes?"

"No, if someone finds out we swap place, that will be troublesome"

"It's okay bro, no one will find out! Because we're identical twins"

"..."

"If I wear your glasses and your uniform, no one will ever notice we're two different people"

"What's the reason?"

"Huh?"

"Why you want to pretend to be me and going to Touka High School?"

"Ehm….I…I want to make love declaration"

"Hmph! I don't want to! I don't have time for joking like that"

"This is not a joke brother"

"If she thinks it's me who expressing the feeling, that will trouble me right?"

"Take it, easy bro, I will explain who am I before I expressing my feeling to her"

"….."

"If I use this unique way, she will be impressed. I will do it quickly, please brother? Do me a favor"

"Takehito! Do act recklessly"

"??"

"When in elementary school, teacher scolding me because he thinks I'm you. Also in junior high school, our sophomore gets angry with me and force me to sweep the schoolyard, all because of you. I always end up with disaster because our face looks the same. When finally I feel relieved because I can enter different high school with you, you still want to give me trouble?"

"Ugh...Fine! I understand"

"…."

Seems there's no way to persuade my twin brother to exchange place with him. When I'm about to leave my brother's room…

"Hey Takehito…are you serious with that girl? You're not doing this only for fun?"

"Of course I'm serious. I want to express this beautiful feeling sincerely from the deep of my heart"

My brother looks at me in the eyes like want to see my seriousness

"So, it's like that.....alright. Just one day, tomorrow"

"Bro…you willing to exchange place with me?"

I feel delighted with my brother willingness to exchange place with me

"But there's a condition. Take notes all the teaching in the class, never miss any words"

"What?"

"Just take notes on what written in the board. I don't ask you to understand it"

Ugh...The way he's talking is like not see me in his eyes at all

"Don't speak if not necessary"

"Alright, I'll keep my mouth shut"

"And one more thing, the most important….don't give me trouble anymore. I already tired involved in trouble because of your doing. Don't get late into the class, and don't leave school earlier"

"Alright I understand"

"Don't forget to carry handkerchief"

"Hah! Do you think I'm an elementary school student!"

Oh well, at least my twin brother agree to exchange place with me. And tomorrow I can see that girl in Touka High School uniform and expressing my feeling toward her.
