"I think I have a plan," Girl 1 chuckled evilly. "This might just work."

Girl 3 let out a sigh, "Are you sure? Everything we came up with failed miserably."

"But she can't escape from this one. No matter how hard she tries," Girl 1 said.

"Then what's your plan?" Girl 2 asked.

"This better be good," Girl 3 grumbled.

The Hitachiin twins watched Katherina ride the horse as she shot her arrows at the targets, missing a few a couple times. Swear trickled down at the sides of her face and her forehead wrinkled in frustration.

"Has she cracked?" Kaoru asked his brother.

Hikaru shrugged, "I heard she complained to Boss and Kyoya-senpai right in front of Honey-senpai."

"Doesn't look like she has, but she's pretty frustrated," Haruhi mumbled, hiding behind a nicely trimmed bush.

Katherina tied something on her arrow before aiming it at the first-year trio. She let go and it went straight to tree right next them.

"Ah. She found us." Hikaru stepped out and grabbed the arrow when he noticed the note.

Haruhi and Kaoru walked over to Hikaru to read the note. Katherina led the horse to the trio.

"We do miss you," Kaoru admitted to her when he finally read the note. "It feels so weird without you."

"Kyoya-senpai also misses you," the other twin said. "Our profit has dropped dramatically."

Katherina laughed, shaking her head. "I'll come back real soon. I'm just gonna focus on the other club for now."

"I see, but you can stop by anytime," Kaoru said. "We'd like you to visit us afterschool, even for just a minute."

"Maybe, if I can't, I'll let you know," Katherina told him.

"You're pretty oblivious of everything," Riko laughed at Katherina.

The raven-haired girl gasped, "You're lying. You're definitely lying. Please tell me you are."

"He likes you," her friend told her. "He confirmed his crush on you after our little pool hang out."

The two girls talked about Harou since he was too busy doing errands and preparing for a tournament the next day, so he wasn't able to come to class with them and that gave Riko the chance to tell Katherina everything.

"Oh my god," Katherina grumbled. "Why am I so lovable?"

Riko laughed, "He's never gonna confess, I'm telling you that. He knows he'll have to get over you soon."

"Why?"

"Because he can't beat his competition," Riko whispered to her as she stared at Honey. "And plus, you don't even like Harou."

Katherina's eyes widened and she slumped in her desk and somehow made a racket, getting the attention from her whole class and the teacher.

"Miss Stavros, is there a problem?" he asked.

"My shoe was caught in my dress when I was swinging my legs" the girl lied. "This dress is a bit too long for me."

The whole class squealed at her cuteness and Riko just snorted and shook her head.

"I see," her teacher said, trying to contain his smile. "Everyone get back to work."

Riko leaned in to her and whispered, "You never denied it."

"I didn't even give you an answer," Katherina hissed at her, talking about that day when Riko and Harou asked her if she like Honey.

"Who cares, it's freaking obvious that you do," she said. "Even the whole Host Club except him knows."

Katherina shook her head and rubbed her temples. "Seriously, Riko-chan."

"And you're not denying it again," Riko snickered. "See?"

The girl slammed her head on her desk and didn't expect it to be so loud and gained attention again.

"Miss Stavros?"

"I can't come up with an excuse for this, Sensei," Katherina groaned, her head still in contact with her desk.

The teacher nodded, "I appreciate your honesty, but you're distracting my class."

"So you're gonna send me out?" she finished for him. "I need some time to think and study, so I'll cooperate with you."

"Thank you, Miss Stavros."

Katherina picked up her things and headed for the exit, but tripped on her way. "Sorry," Katherina laughed out. "I don't know what's happening to me."

"Oh god," Riko muttered under her breath in amusement.

The girl stood up and exited. As soon as she closed the door, her dress got stuck in between the double doors. She tugged and pulled, but it wouldn't budge.

She opened the door to release her dress, but she found her whole class watching her in amusement.

"This dress is cursed," Katherina told them before leaving again.

Everyone in the class bursted into laughters especially the teacher. Honey just put his head down and buried his face to cover his smile. Mori noticed his actions and just patted his head.

Katherina exited the building and headed towards her favorite spot. Underneath the old cherry blossom tree. When she got there, there was a little white note tucked underneath a root. She picked it up and examined it. It wasn't dirty or anything. To her description, it was a fresh note. She opened it and read it.

'Rina-san, meet me at the pool afterschool. -H'

"Definitely Harou-kun," Katherina chuckled. "Guess Riko-chan was wrong."

She tucked the note inside her bag and pulled out her favorite American novel, Tiger's Curse. She's read it twice already and she was already on her third.

Before she read the book, she texted the twins that she couldn't make it and that she had to meet up with Harou afterschool at the pool.

'Hmm? Is it a confession?' Kaoru immediately replied.

Right after that, Katherina received the other twin's. 'Can't you just ditch it?'

"Noo," she muttered as she replied to each text. "Why would...I do that?" It was a bad habit of hers to talk as she texts.

'You don't even like him...' the twins texted her at the same time.

Katherina furrowed her eyebrows and stared at their texts. Even when they're texting, they say the same things at the same time.

"Weird," she chuckled.

"Did Rina-chan quit the Host Club, Tamaki-kun?" one of his clients asked.

The president let out a sigh, "I'm sure you'll understand the reason for her absence. She's having trouble with one of our hosts."

"You mean Honey?"

"I noticed that they're avoiding each other," another client of his gasped. "What is it about?"

Tamaki ran his hand through his hair dramatically and looked at his clients. "Our dear Rina-chan is being bullied. Honey is avoiding her because he thinks he's the reason why she's getting bullied."

"Poor Rina-chan."

The door opened and Harou walked in, scanning the room. "Oh, Tamaki. Is Rina-san here?" He asked the president.

"No, why would she be here?" Tamaki answered. "Is there a reason why you need her?"

"Yuuichi is looking for her. There's a meeting, but she never arrived," Harou laughed nervously.

The twins looked at each other and furrowed their eyebrows. "Weren't you suppose to be with her?" they asked.

"What do you mean?"

Katherina entered the indoor pool and looked around. It was empty. She turned the lights on and walked over to the pool to see how deep it was.

"Oh lord Jesus Christ," she muttered nervously. "Fifteen feet is pretty deep."

Something yellow caught her eye and she immediately smiled. It was cute little rubber duck. Katherina reached for since it was at arm's length.

All of the sudden, she heard footsteps behind her. "What is it that you want to tell me, Harou?" Katherina asked, turning around, seeing her bullies in front of her.

Before she could even say anything, they pushed her into the pool.

"You were about to confess to her right?" Hikaru asked. Kaoru frowned, "Please don't tell me it wasn't you who gave her the note."

Honey stopped eating his cake and listened.

"Do you know where she is?" Haruhi asked the twins.

Harou crossed his arms, "What note? I never gave her a note." Tamaki and the others looked lost.

"Wait a minute," Kaoru gasped. "We need to go to the pool. Now!"

Everyone caught on to what he was saying and and started panicking. They all knew Katherina couldn't swim especially when she's in a heavy dress.

Honey jumped out of his seat and sprinted out of the club at a very high speed. He entered the indoor pool in a matter of minutes and found her body at the bottom of the pool.

He quickly took his shoes and blazer off before diving into the water. His heart raced when he saw her face. She seemed so lifeless and abnormally pale. Her lips were purple from the lack of oxygen.

Honey grabbed her went back to the surface. He carried her with such care as if she was a fragile porcelain doll that was on the verge of falling into pieces.

He placed her on the floor and quickly performed CPR on her with no hesitation. He stopped to listen if she was breathing. Honey continued before Katherina rolled over to her side and vomited.

"You scared me," Honey breathed out.

Katherina lightly chuckled and covered her eyes with her arm. Her breathing was ragged and her mouth was slightly open since she breathing through it.

"If I was late, you could've been.." he trailed off.

"But...you're weren't," Katherina croaked, still covering eyes. "That's all that matters, right?"

Her voice trembled when she talked. Honey's eyebrows furrowed and he gently lifted her arm. His eyes widened when he saw a pair of grey eyes stared into his brown ones. Tears rolled down her cheeks.

"Just.." she squeaked out. "Just don't leave me. Ever."

Honey's heart broke when he saw how helpless she looked. What happened to the strong girl he knew? Was she always like this when he's not with her?

"I won't," he whispered to her, hugging her tightly. "I will never let you go."

Katherina let out a weak laugh. "What is this? Titanic?" She stopped and breathed in his scent. He smelled like sweet cakes with a mix of chlorine.

"Stop joking," Honey chuckled. "You just drowned."

"Okay, Jack."

To Katherina, it wasn't like the movie. No one died, no one left, no one let go. But there was something relevant to her. Rose loved Jack and she loved hers too.


So some of you noticed that there was some error when I first uploaded this chapter. Thank you (• u •)b

I don't have anything else to say, but there's this one somewhat of a bad review about Katherina of being a prodigy. Let me make things clear. Katherina is an archery/shooting/capoeira prodigy. The performing arts and normal art is just a little something her parents had forced her into learning. She's not as good if you compare her to others. I'm sorry if she sounds a bit too perfect or "Mary Sue-ish, but thanks for the review, maybe I'll fix her character.

Another thanks to to everyone who favorited/followed/reviewed this story. Keep on motivating me because I'm known to have frequent writer's block by my friends.

Oh and a little notification. I will start typing in Rina instead of Katherina because it's just too long and I'm too lazy.
