Time out was not the most fun thing in the world. Sitting in the corner, not allowed to talk to anyone or do anything. Most of the time Hikito would be fidgeting, waiting to be let out so he could get back to playing. Today though, he had some thinking to do. The other day, yet another freshling had referred to him as a she. At the time, like each time he'd had to say this before, he'd adamantly insisted that he was a he! Now that he had a bit of time to himself though. . . it made him think. Did it really bother him, to get called a girl? To be honest, no. Not really. The past couple times he'd actually kinda liked it. He'd half talked with one of the caretakers about it and she'd suggested that maybe he just liked girly things but that didn't mean he had to say he was a girl. That wasn't it though.
Yes he liked pranks, and he loved make-up and dressing up all girly, but he didn't feel that boy was the right term for him. Getting called 'Little Miss' and referred to as she made him smile. There was nothing wrong with wanting to be called something else, so maybe he'd just start telling everyone he was she.
Though, he was going to start junior classes in a few weeks. This would probably be one of the last times he had this class. Maybe instead, he could just start introducing himself as a she when he started the older classes? Then nobody would get mixed up. . .well, maybe Marsh would, but that wouldn't be too much of an issue.
Yes, it was the perfect plan. During the couple weeks he had to prepare for junior classes, he'd ask to go out to get new clothes. Then he could dress up so nobody would mix it up and introduce himself as a girl and everything would go smoothly. Excited now that he--no, she had a plan. Hikito started to leap up so she could go about with the preparation for this before remembering she was in time-out. With a huff, she started tapping her feet on the ground, waiting to be freed so she could tell her new plan to Marsh and her favorite caretaker.
Tail whipping back and forth, Hikito started to think about what sort of outfits she could wear. Maybe a frilly sort of dress with a cute pattern? What about some cute shorts and a frilly top? She had to think about what she could run in and wouldn't get ruined if she did pranks in it. Well, maybe she'd have some outfits to wear when she was going to set up a prank. That way she wouldn't have evidence on her cute clothes and they wouldn't get ruined if something went wrong. Yes, that was perfect. She'd get a couple outfits that she could get all messy in and then most of her wardrobe would be cute things. Oh man, but what about make-up? She didn't know a thing about it!
For several moments she worried about how she was going to make sure she picked out good make-ups when she remembered she could just ask whoever took her out to get her new clothes. Surely the adult would know which choices would be good for her and she wouldn't have to worry about doing it wrong. Though she'd have to watch some videos or something to learn how to put the stuff on properly.
By the time Hikito was let out of time-out, she had several plans laid out for how best to go about setting everything up and she rushed off the second they told her she was free. The caretakers, surprised by how quiet she'd been during this session, gave one another a look before deciding that that was a problem for later.
