Chapter Three
Maki was scribbling stuff on his notes intensely. The lecturer droned on and on without any interesting points to his lecture. His classmates were already sighing and complaining under their breaths.
"The lesson barely started…"
"…*grumble* how are we going to survive this semester, I wonder…"
The lecture theatre door flung open, a tall lanky boy stepped in. He had thinly trimmed hair tucked behind his ears, and had long straight eyebrows that matched his wide but not large eyes. Upon the first look, Maki had decided that he would be a very pretty girl if he wanted to. This newcomer was never present in their previous lectures before, so he was probably a transferee. Then everyone held their breaths, anticipating the lecturer's wrath. He never did like anyone to be late. The lecturer turned his head from the slide presentation in irritation, but when he saw the latecomer, his face broke out into a sincere smile, "AH there you are! I was wondering when you'd finally be coming,"
Almost everyone in the lecture theatre fell off his or her seats in shock. The boy remained standing in his place and bowed respectfully, "Hai, sorry for being late, Takazawa Sensei,"
"Nah, I know you just came yesterday, you need time to get round the campus, right?" The lecture actually looked happy, his usually boring and solemn face looked much kinder.
"All right, class, this is your new classmate, Kane Akihara,"
The boy bowed at everyone in the lecture theatre slightly, "Konnichiwa, everybody, I'm Kane Akihara from Tokyo, you can just call me Kane," His voice was smooth and sensual, making most of the girls swoon. A girl was heard whispering to her friend, "Oh my lord…he looked just like a bishounen out of those mangas,"
"Right, I would like to add that Kane is the top student of this subject back in the Tokyo University, and transferred here due to certain circumstances," The lecturer introduced, "Anything you would like to ask Akihara-san?"
A girl raised her hand, "Akihara-san, do you have a girlfriend?"
Kane pinked slightly, "Eh, I'm straight,"
"WHAT?~!" Everyone nearly fell off his or her seats again, "What did you say?" A group of girls asked in disbelief.
"I said, I'm straight, and not a lesbian," She pulled the edges of her huge jacket, with two bright pink spots on her tanned cheeks.
"Which means, you are a girl," The girl who had asked the question fell back into her seat, obviously disappointed.
"Yes," Kane nodded, her originally slightly pink face returning to normal, or rather, an expressionless face.
Maki started laughing, "A very pretty boy,"
That softened the awkward atmosphere in the lecture theatre and everyone started laughing with Maki. Kane was secretly thankful that he had done that. The lecturer shook his head, patting Kane's shoulders, "Kane-chan, told you that you should have left your hair alone," Owing to the weird looks from his students, the lecturer cleared his throat a little uncomfortably, "Eh, I forgot to add, Kane's my niece. Can we get back to the lecture?"
Kane moved up the steps and found a seat effortlessly in a row in front, since everyone sat as far back as possible. She happened to settle beside Maki, who gave her a friendly smile.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Interesting hair," Maki grinned, packing up his things.
"Thank you," Kane smiled a little.
"No wonder we all thought you were a boy,"
"It's not the first time, right, I got to go," She slung her bag over her shoulder and tapped her way down the steps and out of the lecture theatre. Maki shook his head and nudged his friend who was staring at Kane with his mouth wide-open.
"She's out of the lecture theatre now, you can shut your jaws, Hiroshi,"
"Know what, Maki," Fujitaka Hiroshi spoke in a hushed voice, "From my experience on girls, she'd be a hot chick if she'd just take off that jacket, leave her hair long, and wear more fitting clothes,"
"Oh really," Replied Maki, apparently unconcerned, "Tell her that,"
"Are you crazy? She looked like someone who knows Tae-Kwon-Do or is a Judo lightweight champion or something like that, she'd murder me if I tried to suggest that she'll look…tsk,tsk,tsk…absolutely…tsk,tsk,tsk…" Hiroshi scrunched up his good-looking face, trying to emphasize his point.
"Yes, yes, she'll look absolutely tsktsktsk," Maki rolled his eyes, "Quit that! You looked like a pervert,"
"…tsk,tsk,tsk…HEY!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kane dug into her food hungrily, ignoring the stares from people all over the place. She knew that they are still contemplating her gender. Someone stood in front of her and cleared his throat. It was Maki. Kane nodded in acknowledgement. He settled down, "They were asking me if you used perfume," He joked.
"Heh," She shook her head, continuing to eat, "Maybe I should just come in bikini tomorrow, so that they'll stop wondering if I actually have breasts or not,"
"Eh," Maki turned red, not used to such blatancy from a girl.
"Did I scare you?" She eyed him, raising an eyebrow, "Sorry,"
"Eheh, just not used to a girl talking of her…ahem…eh…" Maki touched his nose unconsciously, trying to hide his embarrassment. "Assets," Kane spooned the last grain of rice into her mouth. She turned her bento box in a gesture saying 'Yay I finished every single crumb of my food, nyahahaha', and cocked her head slightly, "Right there, old boy, I got to rush, still have three research papers to complete, catch you later."

"Hey Shina, you won't believe this, there was this new girl in my class…"
