Dear Tamaki,

I got your email. Yes, I am having lots of fun. No, I have not met someone else, I still love you dearly and no one can compete with you for my attentions.

I have an interesting story to tell you about this week. It just shows the ignorance of some people. I was bagging for a cashier named Katherine. She was being friendly and asking me all sorts of questions about what it's like to go to a school in Japan. She's studying to be a school teacher and is approaching her final year in school, like I am.

Well, we stopped talking when an older lady came through our line. Katherine said "Hello, how are you doing today?"

The woman replied by saying "Absolutely stupendous, the word is my oyster." (I have no idea what 'the world is my oyster' means, but I guess Katherine did.

Katherine giggled a little and said "That's a new and interesting answer. I haven't gotten that one before."

The woman looked up from putting her groceries on the belt and said, a little defensively, "What do you care if it's interesting?"

Katherine looked taken aback as she replied "Well…I stand here for hours and talking to people makes the time go by faster."

The woman got a nasty look on her face and said, very rudely, "Well, if you went to school you wouldn't be here."

Katherine sort of jerked back, as if she was slapped. But she remained silent and finished ringing up the woman's items. Then, as she was handing the woman her receipt, she stated, in a tone of voice a teacher uses to tell a student they got a problem wrong, "Ma'am, I do go to school, I'm a senior in college."

I wish I could have bottled the look on that woman's face. She looked like she had been attacked by Hunny. She snatched her groceries from me and stomped out of the store.

Honestly. Can you believe that woman? True, you and the other guys are rich, like she was, but none of you look down on someone for holding an honest job. If you did I don't think I could be friends with you, or love you. Honestly, even if Katherine wasn't in school, that woman would've had no right to say that to her. Everyone has to have a job, everyone has to eat, and every job has to be filled by someone. We can't all be rich business people. Right?

Writing this has gotten me all steamed up again. Injustice is just wrong! That's the real reason I want to be a lawyer, I want to fight injustice like my mother. Since I've come here I'm spending less time thinking and more time watching. I save my time for thinking at home.

Oh! Home! I forgot to tell you, I share a small house with the other student workers at Cublix. I'm rooming with the two girls that work in the deli, Rain and Sunshine. Those aren't their real names; it's just what they're called here. They're from Hong Kong like Xiang. Xiang and Uktu share a room. We all take turns in the evening cooking for everyone else. They all make such wonderful food. If I didn't have to work so hard at Cublix I would be afraid of being fat when you saw me again.

I'll email you again next week, on my next day off. Hope everything's going well at home. Let me know how Kyoya and Alianore's relationship is doing. I still can't see them as a couple.

Love,

Haruhi

P.S. Before you ask, no I'm not going to find someone better than you, so stop worrying and pass your internship so you can graduate.

Author's Note: That's a true story btw. Except it happened a year ago. Oh, in case you're curious about a timeline, this story takes place on the same timeline as Facade, just a different galaxy. Meaning Haruhi graduated from Ouran High School in 2007. This takes place during the summer between her junior and senior year of college. So summer 2010, this past summer. Hope you like this.
