It was Bucky's idea, of course, and it was Bucky who stole the uniform from some poor gal's washing line, and it was Bucky who was going to reap the rewards of having an accomplice for just five minutes in the halls of St. Margaret's to hear what the secret was that Evie Low had promised to tell Dotty Collins after Chapel.

But of course it was inevitable that it would be Steve pulling the jumper over his head.

The jumper was wool, and itched right through the blouse, and it was a little whiffy, like whoever had washed it had been skimping on the laundry soap. Bucky had no more idea how to style a girl's hair than Steve did, and anyway no girl would ever wear her hair as short as Steve's. No girl would be caught dead in Steve's Oxfords, either, but there were no shoes hanging on the washing line.

And there was no damned reason for Bucky to make him wear girls' underdrawers.
