-Hey, Harukaze, Asuka, I heard you two got grounded. What did you do?- asked Tetsuya mockingly.

-That’s not your business, Tetsuya!- growled Doremi.

-I heard you two and your friends from the other class left the school for that Tengawa girl- said Reika Tamaki with her usual arrogant tone. -Just one month here and she’s such a troublemaker.

-Reika, remember when you insulted my friend Beth?- asked Momoko with serious voice. -So you better stop talking now or something like that will happen.

-Wait, what do you bring that now?- asked Reika confused.

In the meanwhile, in the corridor outside the class, Ms. Seki talked to Seiko and the nurse Yuki.

-Are you sure about this, Seiko?- asked Ms. Seki. -You don’t have to do it.

-No, I want to do this- said Seiko confidently.

-Don’t worry, I will explain everything so they understand- assured Yuki.

Ms. Seki took a deep breath and lead the way inside the class, followed by Seiko and Yuki.

-OK, everybody, sit down!- told Ms. Seki to the kids in the class.

-Eh, hi, Seiko!- exclaimed Doremi from the background of the classroom. Her friend waved her hand at her.

-Wait, why is nurse Yuki here?- asked Momoko confused.

As everybody sat down, Ms. Seki cleared her throat.

-Before starting class, your classmate Seiko Tengawa wants to tell you something, and nurse Yuki here will help her- introduced Ms. Seki. -Go ahead, Seiko.

Seiko nodded and looked at the whole class. She could feel her heart beating, but at the bottom, she saw her friends Momoko and Doremi. They were confused, but she knew they were there for her. The girl grabbed her pendant for a moment and took a deep breath.

-Hi everybody. You probably have heard rumors about yesterday and I wanted to talk to you about them- began saying Seiko. -First of all, yes, it is true that I tried to run away from home and Ms. Seki and the police looked for me. Second, it is true that I have been living alone all this time and that my parents are not living with me. Although the first part recently changed, as I’m living now with Ms. Seki. About my parents… they are not worth mentioning anymore. Now, I don’t know if you have heard anything about this, but there is one thing I want to say about me.

Doremi and Momoko were shocked as they understood what Seiko meant. The girl looked at her friends and simply nodded. That was all the two girls in the back needed. They simply smiled back at her and whispered “You can do it!”.

-My name is Seiko Tengawa, I’m 10 years old… and I am a trans girl. That means…

“I am a girl whose wish was granted”.
