It was late spring. Graduation was nearing quickly. There were only ten days until they would be free of high school. Everyone was excited but nobody was more thrilled then Ito and Makoto. They were counting down the days together happily. This morning Ito was at Makoto's waiting for him to finish getting ready so they could go to school together.
"YES! The teachers have finally given us no homework!!!!!" Ito exclaimed jumping up in the air.
"Ito-san…. ♥Did you forget about that report already? ♥" Makoto asked looking at her seriously.
"WHAT REPORT????" Ito cried in a panic.
She ran around flustered trying to remember the last minute assignment. A sweat-drop appeared on Makoto's head.
"♥I was kidding…♥" Makoto said innocently smiling.
Ito blushed a furious shade of red. She embarrassedly turned her head to the side to hide her blush and attempted to punch Makoto. Makoto smiled playfully blacking her hit.
He laughed slightly as he turned back to the mirror and added the finishing touches to his make-up. Ito stood there staring at the floor embarrassedly, not daring to meet his gaze. Makoto placed the long blonde wig on top of his head using a clip and other "tools" to hold it in place. He tugged on the hem of his shirt making sure that nothing that will reveal his secret showed. After he was sure he looked one hundred percent female he walked away from the mirror grabbing his bag and Ito's.
"Come on Ito-san, we'll be late for school," Ito called to her.
Ito didn't say anything but nodded and headed over to Makoto who was waiting by the door. She took her backpack from Makoto without looking at his face and started out the door. Makoto grabbed her hand not letting her go forward another inch.
"Ito-san, I'm sorry. Don't be mad at me…." He told her looking at her seriously.
"I'm not mad…" she replied looking back at him.
"Then why won't you look me in the eye?"
"I am!" she cried embarrassedly staring directly at him and feeling a blush spread across her face.
She lowered her head pulling her hand out of his. He gazed at her uncertainly.
"Then are you embarrassed to be seen with me?"
She stared at him shocked by his words exclaiming, "Of course not!!! I don't even care if they call me a lesbian again!"
Makoto smiled at her stepping out the door and closing it behind him.
"Just ten more days…. Can you wait that long?" he whispered to her as he passed her.
Ito froze in her place speechless by his words. When he looked back at her she just slowly nodded blushing madly. Makoto grinned at her.
"Let's get going before we're late," he responded in a girl's tone of voice.
She followed him to school slowly keeping up with him. As soon as they got to the school the principle started chasing Ito complaining about her uniform.
"YOU CAN'T EVEN WEAR A GIRL'S UNIFORM ON THE LAST SEVERAL DAYS OF HIGH SCHOOL?????" he demanded darting down the hall after her.
"I'LL WEAR GIRL'S CLOTHES WHEN I WANT TO!!!!!!!" Ito screamed back skidding around a corner.
Makoto shook his head watching them disappear out of his eye range. He sighed and headed to their classroom without Ito. Class was about to start in a minute or two and Ito still hadn't arrived.
"Are they still running around the school?" Makoto wondered as he took his seat at the classroom.
The teacher got up from her seat and began to write some plans for the day on the board. Ito barged into the room breathlessly right before the bell rung apologizing and taking her seat.
"Right on time Ito-san," Makoto smiled as she took her seat.
"Okay… Today we'll be discussing Graduation plans," The teacher announced ignoring Ito.
All the students groaned lazily.
"SHUT UP! At least there's no test about proper manners for graduations!!!!" she snapped back.
"YOU CAN'T DO THAT!" Ito cried pounding her fists on her desk.
"Oh right… A math test sounds better………" she smirked.
Ito slumped back down to seat frowning muttering something about how she couldn't wait to get out of here. She sat there half listening to the mini-lecture.
"-Did you hear all that?"
The class nodded their heads eager to leave.
"Ok then! Go to your club rooms immediately! No dawdling in the halls!"
"WHAT? Our club rooms? I thought it was time to leave!" whined Ito as she slouched down in her seat.
"Your fault for not listening," teased Yoshiro.
Ito just scowled at him crossing her arms across her chest.
"Come on! Let's go! All we're doing is planning a party!" urged Yoshiro.
"……………….."
Ito didn't look fully convinced at all.
"Heh…. I'll meet you there then! I'm going to go pick up Misaki and Nobuko!" Yoshiro told her before he ran out of the room sliding the door shut.
"Come on Ito…." Makoto said touching her shoulder.
Ito reluctantly got out of her seat and followed Makoto to the drama club room. They both were the only ones in the room besides Mrs. Itô who greeted them warmly. She continued to write some words on the board after gesturing to them to take a seat.
"See? This isn't that bad," Makoto told Ito with a smile as he pulled out her chair for her.
"How do you know……" Ito groaned taking her seat.
"Because have you read what she's writing on the board? Beach party…. Food…. Drinks…" Makoto read aloud.
"Beach party??? AS IN BATHING SUITS????" Ito screamed her eyes widening.
"Yes… do you have an issue with that?" Mrs. Itô asked looking back at Ito.
"Yes… what's wrong Ito-san?" Makoto asked calmly.
"Mako… You…. Umm…. Your scars…." Ito muttered quietly.
"I'll be fine. I don't have to swim. Don't worry about it!♥" Makoto reassured her.
Ito stared at Makoto still not fully satisfied. Makoto just kept smiling. Before Ito or Makoto could say anything more the door swung open and the rest of the drama club entered.
"Sorry we're late!" cried Nobuko popping out from behind Misaki.
"Yeah…. We had to make a quick stop at the store to get some snacks because a certain someone got hungry!" Misaki added glaring at Yoshiro.
"Hope ya didn't start the part without us!" Yoshiro laughed ignoring Misaki's look of death.
Ito rolled her eyes at him; she was not in the mood for this. Makoto just continued to smile pleasantly. The rest of the drama club took their seats and they began their discussion about their celebration party. After an hour or two they all finally settled on a date, time and activity.
"Ok so it's settled! This Saturday at the beach!" Mrs. Itô told everyone.
They all nodded in agreement eager to leave.
"Ok then…. Get on home!"
Everyone barged out the door at once clogging the exit. Makoto and Ito stood back staring at how idiotic they all looked. Ito groaned and kicked Yoshiro from behind sending him flying out of the door way causing the rest of them to fall onto the floor. The moans were heard as they all rubbed their scraped elbows and knees. Yoshiro peeled himself off the wall wincing as he wobbled over to Misaki. Before anyone else could say a thing Ito grabbed Makoto's hand and was out of there in a flash.
"Ito-san! Is something the matter?" Makoto asked as he held his wig in place while he ran with Ito.
"Nothing!" Ito snapped in an irritated voice.
Makoto grasped Ito's thin wrist and pulled back bringing them both into an empty classroom. He shut the door behind them and looked at Ito seriously.
"Can you tell me now?" he spoke in a serious tone.
Ito seemed a little hesitant before she spoke.
"It's just…. Summer is almost here…. School is almost over… I thought we'd be able to spend more time with each other but we ended up having to spend an extra hour at school!" Ito fumed.
Makoto looked at her, slightly relieved that it was nothing huge.
"Just a little more Ito-san… then you won't have to wait anymore…" Makoto muttered to her softly in his usual low voice.
"Mako! You shouldn't talk like that at school! Someone could hear!"
"There's nobody in here but the two of us……" He murmured into her ear leaning towards her.
"Mako! What are you doing?!" Ito asked taking a step back.
Makoto grabbed both of her wrists pulling her closer to him.
"I thought you were upset we didn't get to spend much time together…"
Ito froze in her place blushing deeply. Their faces were inches apart when the door creaked open. She shoved Makoto away immediately. Makoto stumbled back unprepared for their sudden intruder. The bright lights flickered on blinding them both for a second.
"Makoto? I swear I heard a guy in here with Ito! I was gonna beat him up! But I'm really glad the two of you are here!" Sakamoto said in one sentence with a wide grin on his face.
"IDIOT!" snapped Ito punching Sakamoto directly in the face.
Makoto covered his mouth to muffle his laugh as Sakamoto fell over onto his back. Ito gave Sakamoto a furious death glare.
"But I really did hear a man's voice……" Sakamoto muttered trying to get up.
"THEN YOU GOTTA BE DEAF 'CAUSE ME AND MAKO ARE THE ONLY ONES IN HERE!" Ito shouted at him angrily.
Makoto watched Ito grab Sakamoto by his collar and shake him violently trying to convince him that he was just hearing things. He let out a long breath of relief, he was just glad that Sakamoto was an idiot who'd believe almost anything.
Nine more days until graduation……………
