Chapter 1: My Roommate's Secret.

Amora's POV

I looked out the window of the car as the trees passed by.

Today is the day I transfer into Ame no Kisaki, a Catholic school for only girls. Unlike most private schools, this one does not force religion on you. In fact, I've heard that there are many non-Catholic students that attend Ame no Kisaki.

There are two reasons why I'm going to this school: First reason being that my mother is forcing me to. Second reason being that it's an all-girls school.

I don't have anything against boys, it's just that this is my first year of high school, and I don't have time to worry about them right now. I need to focus on studying and doing my best.

The car came to a stop.

"I've finally arrived," I said quietly.

I stepped out of the car and walked through a large gate. I then began walking along the stone path that was ahead of me.

I sighed silently, "This place sure is big. I'm lucky there's a path here, otherwise I'd be lost by now... It's strange though... I've been walking for a while now, but I still haven't seen a single person."

Once I said that, I heard footsteps coming from behind me.

I quickly turned around, and saw a girl in a maid uniform.

"Excuse me," I said, "Can you-"

The maid interrupted me, "What are you doing here, runt?"

Did she just call me a runt? I know I'm shorter than the average height for my age, but 'runt,' really? Maybe I just misheard her...

"If you're trying to figure out if you misheard me or not, don't bother," she said, "Runt."

Well, that confirms it. This bitch definitely just called me a runt.

I chuckled, "Isn't that a bit blunt? I just met you, and you've already come up with a nickname for me. How sweet."

"What's all of the commotion, Matsurika," asked a cute blonde girl that looked to be around my age, "Oh? Is that a new student?"

I narrowed my eyes at the blonde girl, "Who are you?"

She smiled, "My name is Mariya Shidou, high school first-year, and you?"

"I'm Amora Matsushita," I answered, "Also a high school first-year. I'll be transferring to Ame no Kisaki's high school division tomorrow."

Mariya chuckled, "Oh, so that's why you didn't know."

"Didn't know what," I asked.

"This area is part of my family's property," she explained, "It's hard to tell since it's within school grounds. You probably thought something wasn't right when you saw that there was no one around."

"That makes sense," I said quietly.

She smiled once more, "Forgive my maid for her rudeness."

I shrugged, "It's fine."

Mariya then led me in the direction of the school.

As we were walking, Mariya asked, "By the way, Amora, do you have a boyfriend?"

"Nope," I said simply.

"Why not," she asked.

"Because," I started, "I don't have time for boys right now. What's most important right now is school."

She chuckled, "That's too bad. You're really cute."

I shrugged, "If you say so."

She stopped and pointed to a large building, "That building right there is the girls' dormitory."

"Thank you very much," I said.

"You're welcome," she said, "But I've got kyudo practice right now, so I'll see you around. Bye, Amora-chan."

I waved, "Bye, Mariya-chan."

I took in a deep breath, and walked into the girls' dormitory.

The moment I set foot in the building, a girl that was slightly shorter than me, with short black hair and cat ears greeted me.

"Hello, are you the new transfer student," she asked.

I nodded, "Yes, my name is Amora Matsushita."

"Come this way, and I'll show you to your dorm," she said, walking away.

I followed behind her, "Will I have a roommate?"

She nodded, "Yes. She's the same age as you, and is the granddaughter of the former chairwoman. She wasn't a dorm student until this year, so I don't know very much about her."

"Is that so," I asked, "Well, thank you. There's one more thing... Do I call you 'Dorm Supervisor'?"

"Yes, everyone calls me that," she said, "And this is Yonakuni," she gestured towards the dog that had been following us.

I smiled, "He's cute."

She stopped in front of a door, "This will be your room. It's just before the opening ceremony, so most of the students are home, but don't worry, your roommate will probably be here soon."

"Thank you," I said as walked into the room.

The room was pretty big, well, bigger than my room at home at least.

Things got boring quickly, so I left the room and decided to walk around the campus.

After a few minutes of walking, I ended up at the practice hall.

"Are you here to take a look around," asked a girl in a kyudo uniform, "I don't believe I've seen you before. Are you a first-year?"

I nodded, "Yeah, I'm a transfer student, so I was just walking so I'd know my way around the campus."

"Well, I'm glad you came here," she said, smiling, "It's nice to meet you, my name is Yuzuru Inamori."

I smiled back, "It's nice to meet you too, my name is Amora Matsushita."

"You're welcome to come in and look around," she said.

"Thank you very much," I said, "But I should be heading back to my dorm now."

"That's too bad," she said, "See you around!"

I waved goodbye, and walked back into the direction of the dorms.

The moment I got in front of the door to my room, I heard a voice coming from the inside.

That must be my roommate!

"Hey! What are you doing, Matsurika," shouted a muffled voice.

Matsurika... That was the name of that maid, right?

"Please hold still. If you move, your corset will slip," said a familiar voice.

Yep, that was definitely the maid I met earlier. Does that mean that Mariya is my roommate?

I walked into the room and stared in awe at the scene before me.

Matsurika was helping Mariya into a corset.

"Ow! It's too tight," shouted Mariya.

"Calm down," said Matsurika, "I'm going to put on your fake boobs now."

My eyes widened, "Eh!?"

They both looked at me for a second, then continued doing... whatever it was that they were doing...

I slowly backed out of the room, and shut the door.

A moment later, Mariya and Matsurika came out of the room.

Mariya looked at me and smiled, "Would you like me to give you a tour of the school?"

I narrowed my eyes at... it, "Don't you dare act like nothing just happened."

Mariya chuckled and pulled me back into our dorm. He shut the door behind him, then glared at me, "For your information, I'm not a queer or a cross-dresser."

I tilted my head to the side, "You're a boy dressed as a girl. What part of that doesn't make you a cross-dresser?"

"I wouldn't dress like this if I could," he said.

"Then why are you doing it," I asked.

"I don't have to tell you that," he retorted.

"Whatever," I sighed, "Do what you want. I won't tell anyone your little secret."

"I don't trust you," he said, "Even if you vow to keep my secret safe, something tells me the moment you become cross with me, you'd easily leak the truth."

I raised a brow at this, "What are you getting at?"

"You must stay by my side for twenty-four hours a day," he said, "I will not let you out of my sight for a second."

"With you? All day, every day," I asked, "Won't I have to do that anyways? We're in the same class, and we both share the same dorm."

"That's right," he smirked, "Needless to say, there's nothing you can do about it." "So," he started, "Lets be friends, alright, Amora-chan," he suggested in the sweet girly voice he had been using earlier.

I sighed deeply, "Kill me now."
