Just read chapter pages 4 and 5 and going to note down what I understood - any help with the parts I was uncertain on/any corrections to parts I’ve misunderstood would be appreciated

> **Pages 4 and 5**
>
> 「ゆがんじゃったのかなー、ちょと西片あけてくんない？」  
> I can’t bend this(?)… I wonder… Hey, Nishikata, couldn’t you open this for me?
> 
> - Not sure with the first part here, perhaps she’s saying she doesn’t want to break it?
> 
> 「なんだ、簡単にある…」  
> What, it’s easy to open…
> 
> 「なんだ西片。」  
> What is it, Nishikata?
> 
> 「な、なんでもありません。」  
> Nothing
> 
> 「西片ってホントいいはんのうするわー。」  
> That was a really great reaction
> 
> - From what I can find the わ here is a feminine interjection at the end of some sentences? Is it emphasising anything in particular?
> 
> 「う、うるさいなっ。」  
> Ugh, shut up.
> 
> - From what I could find the small つ here was for signifying a glottal stop, indicating emphasis?
> 
> 「くそ…また、まんまとやられた」  
> Damn… again, successfully tricked.
> 
> 「しかもオレがやろうとしたことをさきに…」  
> Moreover, [honestly not sure with the rest here, think maybe it’s saying something along the lines of “she beat me to it”, but I’m not sure]
> 
> 「そもそも高木さんがオレに助けを求めるなんておかしいんだ。」  
> After all, Takagi-san asking me for help is unusual.(?)
> 
> - Not sure what the なんて here is
> 
> 「そこで気づけよオレ…」  
> At the time, (she) noticed me(?)…
> 
> - This one I’m not very sure on either - I think what’s happening is that オレ is being modified by 気づけよ to become something like “me who was noticed” and そこで is meaning something like at that time?
> 
> 「さすがたかぎさんんだ」  
> As expected, Takagi-san.
