Kato hated math. She was terrible at memorizing the problems. And when did numbers and letters start to be friends?
She heard somebody calling her in the hallway. She looked away from the problem and stretched, deciding that if it was Yukio, he would have to help her.
"Kato! Kato-chan!" Yukio called. Kato looked up at the cram school teacher from her homework. He was breathing heavily.
"I told you to knock before you barged into my dorm, Yukio..." she muttered. He blushed and furiously waved his hands.
"Yeah, b-but... This is an emergency! Rin says you're a girl! A-and to keep it secret, because you didn't want people to know!" he cried. Kato stared at him blankly.
"W... What?"
"It's a lie, right? I-if it's not, then that's even better! And if you are a girl, you'll wear the girl's uniform, right? You'll look so cute in a skirt..." Yukio rambled. Kato opened her mouth to say something, but got distracted. She smiled and blushed at her friend.
"You think I'm cute?" she asked, fiddling with her fingers. Yukio blinked.
"Er... Are you really a girl?"
"Yes. The boy's uniform is cheaper, and I'm more used to it. It's no secret. People just assume I'm a boy." she said, turning back to her work. She did a couple of math problems in silence while Yukio stood there, flushed.
"So... I also heard you had jiggly... Um, no... You tie down your chest?" he attempted. Kato giggled.
"I do." she said, shaking her head. Yukio stared at her for a moment, trying to imagine what she would look like in girls' clothes. She snickered again.
"You sound like Rin." she added after a few moments of silence. Yukio dropped his head.
"I hoped you wouldn't say that."
