"Ne, Kaoru? Can I ask you something?"

"Of course, Hagumi. What seems to be troubling you?" Kaoru was more than willing to agree.

"Well... um... you know how when you play a guy it feels kinda weird?" Hagumi questioned.

"I think I understand what you're saying." Kaoru nodded, "It feels strange. Like you're being someone you're not."

"Y-yeah. Well... um... Hagumi feels that way all the time..." Hagumi mumbled, "So what does that mean?"

"Hmm... I don't know." Kaoru replied, "Perhaps someone else might know more?"

"Let's ask Michelle! She seems to know a lot!" Hagumi stated.

So, after one of their practices, Hagumi and Kaoru asked to talk to Michelle in private. Misaki was a little confused by the request, as well as annoyed. She wanted to take off Michelle already. But, she agreed to talk to them alone.

"Um... Michelle, you're really smart and all, so I was wondering if you could help me figure something out." Hagumi said.

"What is it?" Misaki asked.

"Well... I feel weird... like this isn't my body... it feels like I'm pretending to be someone." Hagumi explained, "I don't know why. Do you know?"

Misaki thought about it. She had not expected such a deep question. She thought it was going to be a dumb one they asked a lot. Misaki finally settled on an answer. It wasn't something she ever thought she'd encounter.

"Do you think you'd feel happier if you were a boy?" Misaki questioned. This answer would decide a lot about the situation.

"Huh? Be a boy..." Hagumi pondered the response, "Maybe. It sounds nice. Can I try it?"

"Yes. See how it feels to be a boy for a day or two. If it feels good, then come talk to me or Misaki." Misaki said, "If not, then I don't know either."

"I see. Thank you, Michelle!" Hagumi smiled.

"Yes, thank you for giving your wisdom to us." Kaoru said.

Misaki rolled her eyes. They could've easily just googled this instead of bothering her.

Hagumi decided to act as if she was a boy for the rest of the night. Kaoru easily played along and helped out. Hagumi felt strange whenever she was called a boy. It made her heart race slightly. It felt good.

The next day, Hagumi sought out Michelle. She couldn't find her, so she ended up talking to Misaki. Misaki was nervous about the conversation. She wasn't entirely sure how to tell Hagumi what was going on.

"Misaki, um... I like being a boy. It makes me feel happy. So... what does that mean?" Hagumi asked.

"That means you're a boy. Just, you ended up with the wrong body. Your brain messed up its instructions and you got the wrong body." Misaki did her best to explain it in the simplest of terms, even if she knew most people wouldn't agree with her explanation.

"So... Hagumi is a boy? But I have a girl's body cause my brain goofed up?" Hagumi asked.

Misaki nodded, "Yep."

"What should I do now?" Hagumi asked. He wasn't sure where to go from here.

"I think you should tell your parents first." Misaki said, "Then why not tell the others?"

"Okay! Thanks Misaki!" Hagumi smiled.

DIVIDER--

Hagumi told his parents once he came home. They were a little confused at first, but agreed to do as he said. Hagumi was happy that he had finally figured out the funny feeling.

He was anxious to tell the others. When practice came around, Hagumi wanted to talk before they started. He explained that he was actually a boy and used the same wording Misaki had used to explain it.

No one had anything to really say. They just accepted it and moved on.

"Misaki? Where's Michelle? I have to tell her too." Hagumi asked.

"Oh, don't worry about that. I'll tell her for you, okay?" Misaki replied.

"Okay. Thanks, Misaki. You're the best!" Hagumi hugged her.

"I didn't really do much."

"You did. You helped me figure out what was going on. Thank Michelle for me too, okay?" Hagumi smiled.

"Will do. Now, let's get to practice."
