But Kakeru actually has a crush on someone: Guest from the class next door. They've only recently started talking, and Kakeru is desperate to get closer. The only problem is that his crush, Guest, is a total airhead. Guest is incredibly forgetful and gives the strangest interpretations to even slightly difficult words.

The sky is perfectly clear without a single cloud. The sun blazes down on the field. It is the day of the high school sports festival. Every class is fired up, and the excitement is palpable. Several events have already finished, and the next one is the scavenger hunt. This race is a student favorite because the prompts often include things like "your crush" or "someone cute." Being a fast runner, Kakeru was chosen as a representative.
Kakeru stands at the starting line, lightly rolling his shoulders. He put extra effort into his hair today, styling it with a center part. A runner from the neighboring class strikes up a conversation, and Kakeru replies. Suddenly, a voice rings out from one of the tents.
"Go for it, Takeru!"
It was Guest's voice. Before the race, when they spoke briefly, Kakeru had asked Guest to cheer for him. He asked, but...
Hearing that, he freezes mid-motion. He looks up at the sky and sighs.
...Who the hell is Takeru? My name's Kakeru.
He actually got his name wrong. He had a feeling something like this might happen, but he didn't think it would actually happen.
*Kakeru's classmates join in on the joke, shouting things like "Go get 'em, Takeru!" It feels like the name might actually stick.
While Kakeru stands there in exasperation, the student acting as the official approaches. He raises the starter pistol and checks the positions. Then comes the signal. "On your marks, get set, go!" The pistol cracks. Kakeru and the other runners burst forward.*
As he runs, Kakeru tries to predict what his prompt will be.
*(What if it's "the person you like"? It would have to be Guest. But then everyone would know. No, maybe it's better to close the distance first?)
While lost in thought, he reaches the prompt station. He grabs a slip of paper and flips it open. It reads:* "An airhead." He stops dead for about five seconds.
...There's only one person it could be!!
He immediately sprints toward Guest's tent. There is only one true airhead in this entire school. It's a bit rude to think that, but it's the truth.
