After exposing Cole, the school has become much calmer than before. Students have been more talkative and laughing much more. Even Cole has cut down on the "to do lists" often left for students.

"Everyone seems so calm without Cole asking them to do his own jobs." You said.

"Mhmm." Ciel said without eye contact.

You noticed something was wrong with Ciel. "Ciel, whats wrong? I know you're not the most talkative or social person but this isn't normal." You said.

Ciel grunted. "It's about the book."

"Still?" You asked.

"Yes. It bothers me that we still cant even talk to the Vice Principal to get information if any. We need to know as soon as possibe, I want to leave this place." Ciel said.

You stoked his hair. "I want to get out of here, too. We'll talk to him soon... I hope."

During your fourth class, you felt something. Your bandages were unraveling and it was for real this time. You asked Mr. Michaelis if you can go to the bathroom and he said yes.

'I hate this!' You thought.

You knocked on the bathroom door. "Is anyone in here?"

What you didn't know is that a certain someone was in there: Cole.

Cole heard your voice and said nothing. He was washing his hands and hid behind a corner. 'Again?' He thought.

You heard nothing so you came in anyway. You pushed a trashcan to close the door and grabbed a loose floor board to board up the door so no one can come in.

'Why would he need to close the door completely to go to the bathroom?' Cole thought. He continued to spy.

Just as you finished boarding up the door, you made one last check around the bathroom to make sure no one was in here. You checked and took of your school blazer and untucked your shirt.

Cole still watched.

"I'm fed up with this school! We have to get that book and leave as soon as possible!" You said. You tightened your bandages but your fingers slipped and the bandages fell off to the floor.

Cole stepped out and grabbed your wrist.

You spun around in surprise. "Cole? What are you doing here?"

"The real question is, what are those bandages for, hmm?" Cole asked. He picked them off the ground. "I don't see any blood... What are these for?" He said slyly.

"Give them back!" You yelled.

Cole pulled them away. "Not until you tell me."

You got angry and forcefully took them away. You tried to swipe them away, but as you pulled he fell... on you. Your back hit the ground hard.

As an instinct, he put his two hands out to brace the fall. His hands weren't on the floor, but on your breasts.

It took a second for Cole to process all the confusion in his head. He kept looking at his hands once he realized the truth: you were a girl.

"(M-M/N), y-your a... Girl?" He half yelled and whispered.

You looked at him with a mad red face. "Yes... I am. Can you get your hands off me now?"

Cole quickly stood up and looked out the sunny window. "God forgive me! I didn't mean to touch a woman's body!"

You put your hands on Cole's mouth to make him shut up. "Don't say a word about what happened, or else."

"I will. I'm sorry. I, I-"

You got the bandages and wrapped them around your chest and tightened them. "This never happened."

Walking to your room, you and Ciel were talking. He was still aggravated about getting out of here as soon as possible.

"He did what?" Ciel said yelling.

You told him about what happened in the bathroom earlier today. He was angry and a little overprotective.

"He'll be sorry. I swear I will-"

"It's fine. I'm sure he won't tell." You said.

Ciel huffed. "He better not."

When you walked in the room, you found a tea cup wrapped with a ribbon. It had two flowers attached to it that still weren't in bloom.

Macmillan was also in the room. He noticed the cup and went towards you. "Wow! You guys were invited to the Midnight Tea Party! Lucky!" He patted your backs. "The flowers will bloom at midnight under the moonlight. That's also how you can get in."

'We did it. We can finally talk to the Vice Principal and Headmaster.' You thought.
