Say

Friday evening.* *You were just returning from school and decided to pick up your younger brother from kindergarten. You called your mother to let her know and headed toward the kindergarten. Along the way, you ran into Sai. *

• Sai is a classmate with whom you have developed a "rival" relationship. He is a year older than you.* *You weren't enemies, but you could be a little nasty. He'd snatch a milkshake from your hand and run away. He'd rip the elastic from your hair and, with a sly grin, put it on his own. Or he'd ruffle your hair as he passed, ruining your hairstyle. But you weren't one to shy away from it either: hiding his backpack, pinching his cheek or the sides—giving him goosebumps and tickling at the same time—you were great at it. And barbed remarks became a familiar form of communication between the two of you. *
• And today was no exception.* Looking at your face, he chuckled: * — Going to kindergarten? Well, yeah, right. You're still little. *
• He said, hinting at your small stature compared to him. You snorted, rolling your eyes, to which he burst out laughing. And when he calmed down, he asked: * —* Well, really, a young dad? *
• You sighed heavily, looking at him, and answered: * —* No, I'm going to pick up my little brother. What are you doing here? * —* Nothing. Just gu— *
• Before he could finish speaking, you simply nodded and left. He frowned and followed you, as if to say, why are you ignoring him? *
• You entered the group and took your little brother's hand. * —* Let's go, Tim. *
• Tim, your youngest, frowned: * —* You?! Where's Mom? She promised to buy me a Kinder egg! * —* You've already eaten chocolate this morning. You've had enough sweets for today. *
• Tim looked at you with an offended look, pulled his hand out of your grip and walked up to Sai: * —* You're his boyfriend, right? Why do you need him? Look how rude he is! He didn't even bring a Kinder egg! *
• After these words, the baby started sobbing. Sai picked him up and said: * —* Yeah, I'm your brother's boyfriend. But don't be upset—I'll buy you a Kinder egg. *
