anything.
However, for any information she gave out, she always required compensation.
And Maki’s premier desire was to draw a nude portrait of Tohko. Apparently she’d been trying to convince Tohko to do it for three years now. Because of that, Tohko was completely on guard against her.
Although since Maki was the type of person who said stuff like “It gives me a thrill when Tohko hates me,” she was probably A-OK even if Tohko just glared at her or avoided her.
“This time, Tohko’s not involved. I’ll pay the compensation.”
“No. As your president and as a book girl, I can’t stand silently by and watch in my underclassman’s gravest hour.”
“Being a book girl has nothing to do with anything, though.”
“Underclassmen are supposed to make their seniors look good.”
“Oh, so you’re stripping for me then, Tohko?”
“What?!”
As soon as Maki turned her smarmy smile on her, Tohko began to stutter.
“W-we’re going to…negotiate that later. And, uh, I’ve been eating too many snacks lately and put on weight…If I was to do something like that, I’d need some time to get ready. And hey, aren’t you busy studying for exams, too, Maki?! You don’t have time to be painting.”
“Hmm? I’ve already gotten a recommendation to a school.”
“B…but, I’m getting Fs, s-so I have to study…So, uh, I mean…p-put it on my tab!”
Watching Tohko ball up her fists and yell mightily, Maki burst out laughing, unable to hold back any longer.
“Oh geez, you’re so cute! How can you stand it? All right. I’m drawing a different model right now anyway, so I’ll put it on your tab. You’re going to pay me back tenfold before we graduate.”
“Urk!”
Tohko was speechless. Maki gazed at her with a suspicious glint in her eyes.
“This will be my early Christmas present to you. Oh, oh! Don’t forget my present has interest. ”
Even as I felt the deepest sympathy for Tohko, in my heart I secretly whispered, That’s why you shouldn’t have come. There’s no way you were going to be a match for Maki, and now you got what you deserved…
The Princess worked fast.
Saturday night, Tohko and I were in a hotel room.
Tohko had let down her braids and tied her hair back casually below her ears with a pink rubber band, rolled up the waist of her uniform skirt to make it shorter, and she bubbled with excitement.
I was wearing street clothes, a knit shirt and jeans, and had my hand pressed to my head with a distressed visage.
“Wow, this dinette set is so pretty! I think it’s an antique! And the springs in this bed are so bouncy! Look, look!”
Tohko knelt on the luxurious double bed and bounced it up and down to show me. This was the first time in my life I’d been alone in a hotel room with a girl. And for it to be with Tohko!
As she bounced on the bed, Tohko lost her balance and tumbled off.
“Geez, Tohko, please just go home.”
“No way. This ploy isn’t going to work without me,” she declared after fixing her skirt and standing back up.
This ploy…you decided to do this all on your own, Tohko…
“Are you really going to do it?”
“Yup.”
“You should be parked at your desk studying for your exams.”
“I did a bunch of math problems last night, so it’s fine.”
I picked that apart. “Why are you still doing math problems?”
“Because I need it for the National Center Test obviously.”
“The National Center Test? You don’t mean you’re taking exams for the national schools! Are you doing it for souvenirs?” I asked her, so shocked that I forgot where we were and what we were doing.
I was sure she would try for the literature department of a private school, but the national schools! With those disastrous math scores, how could she even think about taking national school exams?! She was way out of her league!
Tohko puffed out her perfectly flat chest proudly.
“Heh-heh. I’m gonna sweep the national schools.”
“Cut it out. You’re
