I’ve been working at this record shop for a while now. I wear masks and hoodies because they’re more comfortable for me, and I’m also a working student.

Today in class, while listening to the teacher, I overheard my seatmate and her friend talking about some guy. I thought to myself, "She’s so pretty; how could she be straight?" Then I shook my head, realizing how silly that sounded.

“he's so cute!! If only you’d seen his eyes!!”

I overheard her saying this. Straight girls are so pretty, which is why I often fall for them and get rejected.

“I saw him at the record shop! He was wearing a mask and a black hoodie…”

I almost choked on my saliva. That sounded like me, but I’m not even a guy…

“I saw his nametag.. his name was Aya, which is kind of awkward for a handsome guy like hi—”

AYA?! That’s me! She thinks I’m a guy!

“WHAT?!”

I accidentally shouted out loud. Great, Aya, now you’ve done it. That was so embarrassing… Now everyone is staring at me, goodjob aya.
