It might not be a trap

by bluecupcakes

Minami is EXASPERATED over Akihisa. That baka obviously likes Himeji, and she, even kissing him, can't get him to notice. She talks to Hideyoshi about it, who also has similar misgivings over his mistaken gender. They cheer each other up, and start to support and be supported. And soon-to the shock oof not only the class, but also the fanfic fandom-they become something more.

4. Chapter 4

I wake up and slowly get ready for school. Knots of dread tighten my stomach. What if my friends don't want to talk to me because of my new haircut? I worry for a few seconds. Then I picture Minami's smiling face. She'll be with me no matter what. My worries subside as I think that. Yuuko is celebrating-she thinks that Minami and I are a couple and that's two less rivals that Akihisa has a crush on. Now it's only Himeji left and I swear those two clueless people are made for each other like peanut butter and jelly-or chocolate and pocky sticks. Or meat and rice. Or-I'm getting carried away.

The school gates are right in front of me. I swallow, nervous. Then I see Minami waving inside. I turn the handle, and walk in.

Everyone's reactions are different.

Akihisa: His eyes widen for a full five seconds before he slumps on a poor-quality Class F table, sobbing, screaming, and kicking.

Himeji: Congratulates me and tells me I look handsome.

Kouta: He shakes his head and tells me that he is disappointed with me. Turns out he's been selling pictures of me to other guys and girls(?) and now that I look like a guy, half of his market is gone.

Yuuji: Comments: "Our little girl is now a man."

Minami: Smiles and tells me I look wonderful.

Miharu: Looks at me and Minami talking and says, "He isn't a dirty pig, my sweetheart. I give you my blessing."

Iron Man: Congratulates me on 'growing a pair' and yells at all of us to sit down.

At lunch on the school terrace, everyone is eating lunch silently (Yuuji hiding from Shouko), oohing and aahing over my haircut (Himeji, Minami), groaning over my haircut (Akihisa) or taking perverted pictures (I don't even have to tell you who that is).

Himeji's POV:

It's a beautiful day! I love the feel of the wind in my hair. After offering everyone some of my delicious bento (which they all politely declined) I sit down and start to eat. I notice something, though. Minami and Hideyoshi are sitting very close to each other. In fact, if Minami moved any more, she'd be in Hideyoshi's lap.

Akihisa's POV:

As I eat my one/eighty-fourth of ramen I notice something. Minami and Hideyoshi are leaning against each other. He looks really handsome,and she looks really pretty. They seem like a good couple. Wait...good couple? Hideyoshi and Minami? MINAMI? But...but...

"NO!" I scream and throw myself in between her and Hideyoshi.

Even KOUTA looks at me weirdly.

Everyone's POV:

What is going to happen next?
