"...and your suspension will be for a week, although I don't know how the vice principle was able to give you a punishment this light, and how did you even get your legal documents to say female anyway?" Nagisa was starting to tune things out, he failed, he wasn't able to keep his cover. He failed everyone.
Nagisa decided to text Karma.
...
Karma felt his phone vibrate, so he decided to check it. On his phone there was a message displayed, it said, 'They know'
'About your gender?'
'Yeah, what should we do?'
'I'll handle it. Where are you?'
'At the front of the school'
The teacher of the class walked up to Karma. "Just what do you think you're doing in my class young man?"
"Leaving." Karma grabbed his bag and headed out of the classroom and he shouted to his teacher, "I have better things to be attending rather than your class!"
And the bell signaling the end of this class sounded.
...
After he took his seat in class Conan looked outside, to the school entrance where he recognized two familiar figures of Karma and Nagisa. He wondered what they were doing leaving school so early when he heard people whispering to each other.
"Ew I can't believe he was pretending to be a girl all this time."
"Yeah at least he could have told us, but instead we had to find out this way."
"-I should have noticed that his chest was too flat, and that he had no hips."
"Do you think that Karma knows?"
Then Conan realized who they were talking about, "What are you guys talking about?"
"Didn't you hear what happened in the girls locker rooms? Apparently someone pushed Nagisa over and his identity was discovered, he's actually a boy!" Some of the boys snickered.
Ayumi, who had been listening quietly to the gossip the whole time finally spoke up, "I'm tired of you guys speaking badly about my friends! Just because you found out something new about your friend doesn't mean that you should stop being their friend! A good person would want to support their friend and not have to hide their secrets from each other an-"
Haibara put a hand on Ayumi's shoulder. "I know you want to help Karma and Nagisa but look." Their classmates didn't look thoughtful at all, instead they glared at Ayumu. "I don't think anything you say for a while will affect them much."
For the entirety of the next week the rumors and gossip never stopped and neither Karma or Nagisa showed up for school.
...
The new week was starting, today was the day Nagisa would be allowed to go back to school. But instead of seeing Nagisa in his female Teitan uniform, he wore the traditional male uniform, without his choker accessory. Together Karma and Nagisa walked up to their class hand in hand.
Some students sneered at them, "oh look it's Nagisa th-"
"Nagisa and Karma are back!" Genta and Ayumi ran to where Nagisa and Karma stood, interrupting the bullies.
"Eh why'd you take off your necklace thing?"
"W-well the choker was actually a way to help hide my gender by concealing my adams apple." Nagisa pointed to his neck.
"Wait but Karma, have you known the whole time?" Ayumi whispered this so that her classmates couldn't hear.
"About Nagisa's gender?"
"Mhm."
Karma surprisingly raised his voice so that his classmates would hear, "Yeah I've known his gender the whole time, and I'll stay true to my confession, if any of you have something to say to Nagisa, then you'll have to say it to me too."
-Lunch-
As Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, Genta, Haibara, Nagisa, and Karma made their way up the stairs to the roof of the school. But at the door leading to the rooftop there were a bunch of students guarding the door.
"Shiota Nagisa, we have come upon the agreement that you should leave the school." A student spoke up. "Unless you have a valid reason for how you had behaved in the past, including your dressing habits, we will show this to the teachers in order to remove you from this school." The student held up a paper with many signatures of other students.
Nagisa stood still, unsure of what his next move should be, "I didn't wa-"
A familiar voice spoke up, "I believe I have deducted the reason of Nagisa's previous dressing habits," The footsteps were getting closer, "and that his reason was quite clever." The face of Edogawa Conan came into view.
