---"WHAT! You got a letter from HARVARD!"
That was the exact simultaneous reaction she expected from Tamaki and the twins. It had been three days since she had received the letter and she had just now gotten around to relaying the news to the Host Club and they weren't taking it well.
---"Haru-chan, you cant be thinking of going to America can you? Why don't you say here and then we can eat more cake together."
---"...Honey sempai."
Haruhi was lost for words. She still hadn't made her decision yet, but it was if the world had ended at the fact that she MIGHT accept the offer. As she stood there, Hikaru came up with a what he believed would make her stay.
---" Hey, your not allowed to leave . Ha. You haven't paid of your debt yet!"
Haruhi had forgot of this. She still had a debt to repay to the club for the vase she had broken at the beginning of the school year."
---"Actually, Harvard has a work program that would allow her to work on campus for cash."
Kyoya had looked up from the clipboard for the first time during the whole discussion.
---"If she was to work a minimum of 5 days a week and send us 75 of her paycheck, she would have her debit payed of in the same time frame as she would if she were to remain in the club."
Haruhi was taken back from what Kyoya had just said. Was he actually saying that he was for her going to college. At these words, Tamaki stood with a pleading posture.
---"Mom, stop speaking such foul language! You setting a bad example!'
Kyoya then looked back down at his clipboard to make some notes with a agitated look in his eyes. Tamaki then turned his attention to Haruhi with a stern, fatherly like gleam.
---"Haruhi, Father forbids you to go. I forbid you to leave the country."
Then his words softened
---" Father wants you here with the rest of us."
---" Your not my FATHER."
Haruhi looked up at their expressions. Everyone looked a little bit worried about what might happen. Even Mori, who normally kept close to the same expression all the time, seemed a bit depressed. The truth was that she was actually considering going. Her life dream was to go to law school and become a lawyer just like her mother. Going to Harvard would mean getting into one of the best schools in the world. Also the fact that she would get to start in as little as two and a half months also seemed to make her want to go even more. But seeing the faces of her friends made her want to rethink it over again. She couldn't stand to see them all in this mood. Her thought were interrupted by the sound of someone snapping their fingers. By the time she looked up, the twins already had her under the arms and were dragging her across the room.
---"ahhh...Hikaru, Kaoru what are you doing".
---"Tying you up".
---"WHAT!'
The twins looked at her and laughed
---"Just kidding".
Once they had her out of the room and into the hall, Tamaki followed in suit. All three of them looked at her.
---"Look. I haven't even made up my mind about what I am going to do yet. Don't get so worked up."
Karou gave a huge sigh at her words as if he had been holding his breath for the last hour and looked straight into her eyes.
---" We know, but we just want you to know that we will support you no matter what choice you make."
Haruhi could hardly believe what Kaoru was saying. His words seemed half-hearted but she could tell that they wanted her to have what she wanted and even if it meant leaving. As she set their, she caught Tamaki's gaze. His blue eyes seemed so desperate yet caring. It was if she could tell what he was feeling just by looking at them. It was if she could fall into them. But when she realized what she was thinking and what she was beginning to feel, she dropped her eyes. Even though she had been getting this feeling for a while now, she was still reluctant to accept it. She kept repeating the same thing over again in her head. Tamaki was her sempi and a friend she cares for. Nothing more. As she turned to leave, she glanced back with a look of thoughtfulness. She then turned to face them
---"Thank You. I still have a while to decide so don't worry. Hmm...Tomorrow is Saturday. How about all of us go to the amusement park ."
The three heads bolted upright as if they had be struck by lightning.
---"Sounds good to us! How about you Milord?"
Tamaki took his hand and brushed his hair aside. Then he began jumping up and down as if he was on a pogo stick.
---" Good Good! Father finally gets to spend some quality time with his daughter! His cute, CUTE daughter at a Commoner amusement park!"
Hikaru then looked excitedly at Kaoru.
---"Hey, If we like it, lets buy it for the club when were done!"
Haruhi stared at them with a confused look
---"That seemed to cheer them up. Rich Bastards."
