"He was sighted buying a present at that shop! It's definitely for a girl!"

"Did you see what he bought?"

"No. I didn't want to get caught. But..."

Before I manage to hide my face, something is put on my desk.

A present box!

"...a secret. You baked me a cake on my birthday last month. This is my show of gratitude,"

After a whole month and odd days later?

It was a party arranged by the class for him, after all.
