Chapter Text
Mai was furious. For weeks, she and Hana had been suffering just because Shane goddamned Gill couldn’t get over his stupid pink-haired English girlfriend. They were suspected for stealing the boots, because they were the new kids and Hana happened to be a main character. Then Shane goddamned Gill found out about Mai’s kleptomania, somehow (Asagao was a rich school, you would think they could invest in thicker walls). Now she found out it was all because of James Caddick, boot thief.
She opened the door to Caddy and Jimmy’s room without bothering to knock. “Mai?” Caddy asked, completely confused.
“Come with me, Caddick,” Mai growled, emphasizing the last syllable.
And that was how Caddy found himself in the middle of campus, dressed as a kappa, wearing a sign like one of those pet-shaming posts on Spacebook. “I am a bad Kappa,” he said.
“LOUDER!” Mai shouted.
“I am a bad Kappa!” He knew he had made a mistake. He just wanted to play a prank, and it got way out of hand.
“I want every one of those Hidden Block boys to be able to hear your shame,” Mai insisted.
“I AM A BAD KAPPA!” Mai looked around at the crowd of people who had gathered to observe the goings-on. She saw that Ian was filming the whole thing and grinned.
“And are you ever going to steal again and let someone take the fall for it?”
“No,” Caddy mumbled, utterly ashamed. Mai seemed satisfied by the guilt in his eyes, but kept going because he had made their lives hell.
“Louder,” she urged again.
“I am never going to steal something and let someone else take the fall for it again.”
