I'm actually having second thoughts. Maybe even third thoughts to who I should actually pair Alice up with.

Rawr, but never mind, Chapter 7's up!

This chapter is the start of all the sweetness , I promise you. ;)


I was frustrated.

Maybe I was a little too frustrated. Too frustrated to do anything worth it. I quietly sulked, taking advantage of being alone in the room, since Tamaki's out to study in the library with the twins. It all started when Haruhi decided to study there. And they ended up following her, leaving me alone. Karylle, despite being a new student, are out doing club activities. She's part of the school choir. And Kyouya... I have no idea what that nerd is doing.

I didn't even bother to see who came in when I heard the door open. I just laid my head down on the open book on the table. Then suddenly, a big hand messed my hair. "Hey."

I looked up to see who he is. "Oh, hey, Mori. Thought you're doing club activities, too." Don't scold me just because I didn't call him 'senpai'. That's just the way I am, live with it. "Leader gave us time to prepare for exams next week." he explained in his deep, silent voice. I groaned. "At least you don't have anything rush. I have a lot to rush, just for the teachers to give me a grade high enough to pass, since I just got here. There's this project where I have to draw steps of plant propagation in a whole illustration board. And make a website with 10 pages. I also have to bring a freaking frog to dissect, which is not cool. How the heck do they expect me to study at least one subject for next week? Then my debt would be totally not worth it."

He cracked up a small smile, which means he seems amused. I am not. Seriously.

"Despite their attitude, the twins are really smart. If you know what I mean." he messed up my already-messed hair again, and what he said was kinda not clear. "What do you mean? Do you actually expect me to ask help from those- … WHAT?" I cut off my own sentence. Mori nodded at me, still smiling. I stood up from my chair. "OH, HELL NO. You have got to be kidding me. There is no way I'll ever ask help from those... those... NOOOOO." I waved my index finger in front of his face fastly, signaling 'No'.

He shrugged. "You can do it, Alice. I'm off to find Mitsukuni. See you." he tucked my bangs to my right ear. Well, the big guy's not that bad. He's actually the brotherly type, after all. Here I thought he was a snob. But was he really serious about asking the twins for help? NO WAY IN HELL.


I sat on the chair, still worried about next week .I usually come home late, unable to study due to fatigue. "Karylle, break's over. Time to practice." my fellow choir member called. I sighed, standing up as I checked the clock. 5:30pm.

It's a good thing I have a project form, where all my projects can be excused even if I don't do projects. But still, I don't want to be called lazy just because I have my project form.

...Shit, I forgot to ask Alice to buy a mango seedling for our plant propagation test.


"Don't get me wrong... I.. I only asked you because Mori said so!" I looked away from him. Kaoru raised an eyebrow. "And what if I refuse, hmm?" He smirked. This jerk. This big stupid idiotic jerk. Can I just dissect him instead of the frog?

"Then refuse. I was just asking." I turned to leave. I'm already frustrated and this idiot's pissing me off!I sighed as I walked quickly away from him. Which reminds me, where's Hikaru?

Suddenly, my arm was grabbed. Startled, I turned my head to see who... Kaoru? And I thought he's too busy to even help me?

I pouted. "What do you want? Let go, I have lots to do, unlike you." I stuck my tongue out. It's almost 6:00, for goodness' sake and I haven't started anything.

He stared at me. I stared at him. We were like that for a 30 seconds. "...Well?" I asked. He just laughed. THIS IDIOT'S GOING TO HELL. I puffed up my cheeks in dismay. "Geez, Kaoru! If you're just gonna laugh, then just don't waste my time!" I tried to get his hand off my arm, but he was too strong. Shit, wish I wasn't a girl. "I'll help you. In one condition." He put an arm around my neck, pulling my face closer to his. "What?" I asked, even in the awkward position.

"Make my brother fall for Karylle."

WHAT!


I almost died of exhaustion. My voice is exhausted, so much for choir practice. I need water... I'm going to die...

A cold thing was brought to my face. Ah... I love this feeling... Oh, wait... What is this?

Out of sudden realization, I looked to see a bottle of water held by someone on my face. "Tired?" A familiar voice asked, chuckling. "...Hikaru, what in the world are you doing here?" I took the bottle of water from his hands. "Came to fetch you. I was bored, no one's in the host club." he answered. "Oh, so you only came here 'cause you're bored? Just die." I put on a funny face. He laughed hardly. "OH WOW. I never expected you to make that face! You silly idiot." He clutched his stomach in pain.

"How's that for a girl?" I smirked. "Not bad. Heh."

Which reminds me... where's Kaoru?

"Hey, where's your brother? First time seeing you separated." I asked. He shrugged. "He said I should go see you here for a while... and help you with your studies. Don't know what's up, maybe he's concerned about you." Hikaru scratched his head. "Anyway, I think he likes you. But I think he doesn't, too. He doesn't like nerds." I almost kicked his leg, but I didn't. "EXCUSE ME? If I'm a nerd, you should expect seeing me studying right now, right?"

"Nah, even nerds do club activities, too." He talked back. I am definitely going to hit his head if he keeps this up. "Nerds are nerds." he added. That's it!

I kicked his leg. "Ouch, Karylle, that hurts." he grinned. "Nerds are nerds? That's unreasonable, you freak. For your information, it doesn't make sense!" It's true! This guy is even more unreasonable than his brother. Immature, too, saying I'm cute but also saying mean stuff. "Unreasonable? Really?" He grinned, pinching my cheeks. IT. HURTS. BADLY.

"LET GO! Geez, don't touch my face, freak! And don't play dumb and smile stupidly at me, we all know that wasn't a compliment!" I stood up and walked away, since practice is about to start again. Bet you I'll be coming home late again. "Good luck, Karylle!" He loudly said, which caused the other female members of the choir to stare at us. DAMN YOU, HIKARU.

"OH MY GOSH. You're friends with him!" One of my choir friends asked. "He is... well, yeah. We're friends. Frenemies, actually." I gulped. "Do you have his phone number?" "Can you get me an autograph?" "Is he really in love with his twin brother?" "OH, YOU ARE SOOOO LUCKY."

STUPID HIKARU. YOU'RE GOING TO PAY FOR THIS.


"...He likes Haruhi?" I asked. Kaoru nodded. After mulling everything over, I asked why Kaoru want Hikaru to fall for my friend. "Haruhi... I can actually tell that Boss loves her. And she likes him back." Kaoru sighed. "But... how the HELL can I even make him like Karylle? And how can you even be sure that Karylle will like him back? You're crazy, are you?" I laughed. He looked dead-serious, so I stopped. "Okay, fine. Whatever. What do I do?"

It was his turn to laugh. "Nothing. Just watch over them. See if Karylle likes him. That way, we can tell if they're okay with each other. I just don't want my brother to get hurt." Wow, this boy is more mature than he looks. Never thought he'd be this concerned. "ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? Karylle's hard to observe, and she has a really good sense! She'd quickly identify whether I'm planning something or not!" Yep, it's true. That girl is too clever to trick.

"Then I guess you won't be needing my help for your studies." He stood up to leave. Without thinking, I grabbed his shirt. "Wait! I..." Shit... why did I even stop him? I just ruined my pride.

He waited for my sentence to finish. "...FINE. I'll observe her. I just... I just need your help, okay? Don't ever leave me, 'kay? If you do, I'll definitely kill you!" EW. WHAT THE HELL AM I SAYING. This event just hurt my pride greatly.

He chuckled. "Don't ever leave you? And what exactly do you mean by that?" he smirked. "...I meant about the plan! And my studies! Oh, Kaoru, you... you...! Shit, you... Oh, damn, I hate you!" HOW DARE HE EMBARRASS ME, HE IS SO THICK-FACED, THIS... THIS... AGGHH.

He couldn't help but laugh. "You're a pervert, huh." He stuck his tongue out playfully as he continued walking back to the corridor. WHAT THE FUDGE?

".. THE HELL? You... you're the pervert here, you sick old geezer!" I chased him as he started to run. "Na na nana na! Can't catch me! Bleh." He stuck his tongue out again at me, with matching hand covering the ears. "I can't hear you!" he yelled. I am definitely really pissed off now! He may be mature, but he is still just like Hikaru. So damn restless.

"KAORU, YOU SUCK! YOU SUCK BADLY, GO DIE IN A HOLE!" I yelled. Doesn't matter if I can actually here the whispers of the passing female students. Fuck them, I am not flirting with their Kaoru.

Fangirls. Tsk. Bitches.

I was so occupied about the thought of burning all the girls and turning them into barbie-cue, that I didn't notice that Kaoru already stopped running. And I ended up hitting him. And we fell on the ground. THIS IS ALL HIS FAULT!

"You really want to rape me, huh?"

"RAPE YOU? DON'T BE STUPID, YOU SUDDENLY STOPPED RUNNING!"

"Then why'd you tackle me from behind? Hmm~?"

"SHUT UP! I didn't tackle you, I tried to kill you!"

"You did it on purpose. And don't be too loud, if you don't want those fangirls over there to kill you."

"WHAT? You are so damn thick-faced! Those are just bitches! And just get off of me!"

"Get off of you? Fifi-chan, you are the one who's on me." … SHIT. He's right.

"...Shut the hell up! My name is not Fifi!"

I stood up, brushing my skirt, looking all pale and tired. Kaoru was laughing on the floor. "Silly." he mumbled. "...KAORU, I HATE YOU! YOU REALLY SUCK!" I stuck my tongue out and walked away. Then suddenly I remembered I had to take him home with me...

I went back and grabbed the collar of his shirt. "Oi, you don't have to be so rash." he said as he tried to take my hands off. "Quit your yapping and you're going to teach me kanji!" I said. "Wow, after trying to rape me, you still got the guts to ask me to teach you." "...I WASN'T TRYING TO RAPE YOU. I FELL BECAUSE OF YOU STUPID FANGIRLS." This... this stupid thick-faced jerk!


"Hikaru, I know you're there. Quit following me."

I waited for Hikaru to step out of hiding behind the post. It was 7:30pm, and I was heading home. "Get back to the host club, I'm going home early to study. Alice should be at home, too." I said. Well, he did step out. "There's no one in the host club. Too busy to entertain girls." He grinned at me. I face-palmed.

"Hikaru, don't just follow people around. You'll look like a stalker." I sighed. "EH? But there's no one else to tease!" This idiot really is immature. "Look, why don't you go home and study? Plus, aren't you even going to look for Kaoru?"

He looked blankly at me. Then his face turned into that of an innocent kid. "Oh, yeah! You're right! Where could he be... ?" he looked around. Ignorant, as always. "Hey, you can't just find him here. Go back to school. And don't give me those puppy eyes, I am not letting you come with me at home." I said as I started walking. And I could still hear his footsteps behind me. Annoyed, I turned around.

"HIKARU. JUST GO." I simply said. He laughed.

"Kaoru's at your apartment. He texted. I'm not following you, I'm simply going to go where he is." WHAT? HOW DID KAORU GET IN-... Damn you, Alice! I'm definitely surrounded by idiots, I'm sure of it now!

"WHAT IS HE DOING IN MY APARTMENT?" I yelled. Hikaru covered his ears and stuck his tongue out. "Why ask me, I'm not Kaoru. Bleh." You know, it's true that his childishness is funny, but seriously. An idiot, perhaps. "Yes, because I know that Kaoru is more mature, thank you." I countered, which led him a little startled. "Oh, so you think I'm a little kid?" "NO." "Aww. But I look younger than Kaoru, right?"

I glared at him. "You both look alike. If he looks old, then you look old. Enough said." Seriously, he didn't have to ask me which one looks older if he know they're twins. "KARYLLLEEEE. You're too serious! Why don't you smile for a little while?" he teased, poking my cheek. "Hikaru, I am already smiling. Blind? Hope not." I laughed. Who wouldn't laugh at this freak?

And then... we reached the apartment.


"How do you read this?" Kaoru asked me. I mulled over the symbols for a while. "...'Baka?" I answered. "Correct. And what does that mean in English?" he asked, smirking. "...'Idiot'..." I started to get suspicious of what he's actually trying to tell me...

"Now read all of them at once." Kaoru observed me, as I glared at the paper, waiting for it to burn. Just kidding, I was reading kanji. "'I'm an idiot cat'..." WHAT THE HELL?

Kaoru started slamming his hands on the table from laughing so hard. "You idiot! You fell for it!" I got my hands ready under the table. "YOU... YOU SUCK!" I said as I flipped the table.

Then... Karylle came in. With Hikaru.

She turned to stone as soon as she saw what happened. "...Sorry?" I grinned. Then I pulled Kaoru and hid behind him, even if I did hit his face. With the table. And he is still clutching his nose in pain.

"...ALICE, YOU IDIOT. WHY'D YOU FLIP THE TABLE?" Karylle yelled. "Kaoru?" Hikaru asked, poking Kaoru's forehead. "...Alice, you idiot. That hurt..." Kaoru mumbled. OH MY GOSH.

"NOOOO. WAIT. PLEASE DON'T KILL ME! AHHHHH, OH MY GOSH. THAT TICKLES! STOOOP!" Here I am on the floor, being tickled to death by three devils. It took a while for them to stop. I almost died. "Aw, look. Alice is crying." Hikaru laughed, messing up my hair. "That's punishment for trying to rape me today." Kaoru added.

Now both Hikaru and Karylle looked at Kaoru. "...WHAT THE FUCK. DON'T LISTEN TO HIM! He's friggin' lying!" I flailed my arms like crazy. "Alice... oh my gosh, you really are a pervert, are you?" Karylle's mouth was wide open, then she started laughing like hell. "You tried to rape him? Unsuccessful, huh?" Hikaru laughed loudly.

THESE IDIOTS. YOU ALL MUST DIE.

"Which reminds me, Alice... did you buy a mango seedling?" Karylle asked. I shrugged. "Where the heck do you expect me to get one and I thought you bought one on your way?" I asked back. "WHAT? YOU MEAN WE HAVE NO SEEDLING?" she yelled. "Alice is so irresponsible." Hikaru whispered loudly. "Yeah, all she does is eat. Like Snorlax." Kaoru whispered back. THEY MUST DIE.

"I wasn't assigned to it! I didn't know!" I said as I grabbed my coat and a butcher knife. They all turned pale. "ALICE! I know I was hard on you, but please don't kill me!" Karylle ran behind the twins. "FIFI-CHAN, PUT THAT DOWN. I know it's been hard, but please don't commit suicide!" The twins reacted. I raised an eyebrow.

"What the hell are you talking about? I'm going outside." I said as I closed the door, while hearing them scream: "ALICE, DON'T KILL!". Such idiots. All I'm going to do is get a stem from a mango tree and plant it.

OR maybe... hmm...
