Because each fret is a 1/2 step. And there is only a 1/2 step between B and C and between E and F. So, when you play a fret (1/2 step) above B, you get a C. When play a fret above E, you get an F.
But, there's a full step between G and A, D and E, and A and B. So a single fret about those strings (1/2 step) would be a G# or Ab, a D# or Eb or A# or Bb respectively.
