"HELLO?" Ixora picked up her phone, her heart beat increasing. Liam was calling her, but she didn't know why. Yesterday he'd asked for her phone number, telling her it was for her safety. She immediately gave it to him gladly, thanking him profusely, although she was happy because now she had his phone number.
"Ixora, it's me, Liam. I thought of a wonderful idea and I'm so proud of it!" Liam exclaimed over the phone, his excitement totally showing. "What's it?" Ixora smiled, finding his eager to help her a little too cute.
"Dress as a guy," Liam went straight to the point. After a long pause, Ixora finally spoke, "Huh?"
❀❀❀｡◕‿ ◕｡❀❀❀
"Are you sure this will work...?" Ixora stared astoundingly at what she was wearing. It was Liam's dark blue teddy bear T-shirt, but it was oversized for her because she was too small. She wore her skinny jeans on. But her hair was still too long. The shirt smelled of Liam, making her blush a little. He always had this sweet smell around him, and Ixora silently gushed over the fact that she got to wear his shirt, although she didn't know why.
Liam crossed his arms as he studied her hair and what to do with it. "Sit down on the floor, and turn around," He told her. They were hiding in an empty classroom, and the lights were off.
When she sat down, he plopped down too. He startled Ixora as his hand reached out and touched the back of her head. It felt ticklish and sent electric waves from where he'd touched, spreading through her body. She clenched her heart, trying to stop her heart from beating too fast.
"Done," Liam smiled satisfyingly as he looked at her hairstyle. She touched it curiously, only to realise he had tied a bun.
Ixora blushed. "I...! I could tie the bun myself!" She squeaked.
Liam didn't seem to realise she was getting all nervous. He grinned and didn't say anything, then taking a cap out of his bag and place it over her head.
"There," He nodded, his eyes looking at her warmly and dotingly, as he smiled, "You look great as a boy."
Ixora's cheeks coloured. Everything he did made her heart flutter, even his simplest words...
She paused. "Hold on," she frowned as she took his words in, "As a boy? You mean I don't look good as a girl?!"
Liam laughed and didn't say a thing, getting up from the floor and running away from Ixora. She screamed as she chased after him. She swore she was going to kill him, if not for the fact that he was the only person who could help her.

Ixora prayed the plan would work. She wanted to try this out as soon as possible, so she operated Part 3 of Plan A immediately after school.
She looked at her watch. One more minute before the herd of guys came. And she was right. Within 60 seconds, all of them came dashing over, shrieking her name out loud for the entire hall to hear.
She stood at her place, facing the guys with determination. Her hands rolled into two fists as she straightened herself, being sure that the guys wouldn't notice her because she was cross-dressing as a boy.
Oddly enough, the guys saw her, then cheered, and hurried as fast as they could towards her.
Ixora's mouth hung agape. Couldn't they tell she was a guy? She made herself as ugly as possible already, why were they still chasing after her?
"Ixora~!" Heart shapes in their eyes, they screamed affectionately as they approached her.
Then she felt someone grab her hand, making her look upwards. It was Liam!
"Let's go!" He pushed her away from them with all his might. Ixora nodded and ran along with him.
"Why... why can't they stop chasing after me?! Don't I look like a boy?!" She shrieked while running with him, not forgetting to turn to the back to spot for the guys. Indeed, they were still chasing after her.
Liam didn't turn back though. Instead, he just kept quiet for a moment before mumbling, "Even as a boy, you look pretty cute."
Ixora heard every single word of his, even though his voice sounded soft. Her face reddened tremendously as her heart palpitated wildly, probably due to running, or probably because of Liam... who knows?
"...Oh."
