Ai's pov:
Ever since that eventful day she has been looking behind her back, just to make sure no member of the host club is following her. Sure she wouldn't have minded if Hikaru… wait scratch that she would have minded. A lot.
"Ai! Hey Ai!" A familiar voice cried.
"KONOMAO!"
They sat inside of a café. Ai looked down at her American Capichino. She couldn't face herself to look at Konomao but she knew he was boring his eyes into her cheek.
"Its awesome to see you again. Where did you run off too," The boy said, taking hold of her hand.
Ai looked at his hand. He still had the ring on. The ring they gave eachother at 14. A ring to promise they'd allways be together. But when Ai was admitted to Ouran they lost contact. This was the first time in 3 years since they had seen each other.
Ai felt electricity run up her arm. So she still had feelings for Konomao.
"I had to go to Ouran. Mother and father couldn't look after me because of the little money they had. But what are you doing this part of Japan. You live in Osaka not in Tokyo…"
"I came here because my father got a new job. But I can finally be with you now Ai… I hope," he smiled sweetly at her, squeezing her hand and her heart.
She couldn't not when she was so confused about Hikaru. She had to get her mind sorted out first.
"Konomao… I love you I really do but right now is not the right time for us to get back together. I think I might like someone but I need to be sure I do. I cant lie to you and say I'll go back to you. I hope you understand me right?" Ai said, looking into Konomaos purple eyes.
"Of course I understand you. What kind of friend would I be?"
"I hope to see you soon Ai. And maybe then you'll have your decision," Konomao said, smiling and waving.
"I will!" I said, waving back.
Konomaow turned and left to go home and Ai sighed. Love was complicated she knew that much
School again today. Ai sighed as she rolled out of bed her hair a mess. She hated having long hair sometimes. Maybe it was time for her to have a trim. Yeah maybe how that boy Haruhi has his. Maybe Hikaru would think she was a boy. Suddenly an idea poped into her head and she smiled evily. She got dressed in her most boyish clothes and quickly went to the hair solon.
"I want this hair style," she said, showing a picture of Haruhi.
"Really? That is a boys hairstyle after all," the hairdresser said.
"I want it. Hurry up I have school soon," Ai said.
The hairdresser shurged her shoulders and went to cutting her hair.
Soon all of her long brown hair was cut and in replace was a boyish pixy cut.
"Thanks," She said, paying the woman and running to school. Because of that stupid woman she was 2 minuets late.
She burst into her class room, and everyone staired at her, most notably Hiakru. His eyes widened at her hair.
"Sorry I'm late. I'm Ai's cousion, Ryoko Mizuki nice to meet you. Ai is sick at the moment and she asked me to fill her in for a few days," she said, hoping her voice was manly enough for it to pass.
"Sure go in," the teacher said, giving her I don't care look.
She sighed and walked to her seat next to Hikaru.
"So your Ai's cousion. She never talked about you before. How come?" Hikaru asked resting his hand on his head and looking at her with big brown eyes.
Ai felt her heart race. Damn it she was in love with Hikaru, and she didn't have any idea why.
