Chapter 7
From Hostess to Bus Girl
Alicia sat in the back of the class not paying attention to the teacher. Ever since her brother moved into her room, two weeks ago, she'd been more happy and there hadn't been any real emotional situations. She wondered how she could get the attention of Hikaru and Kaoru who seemed to disregard her outside of the club. To her it seemed that they were only interested in Haruhi and each other. She sighed loudly and it made Haruhi turn.
"What's wrong Alicia?" she asked.
"Hmm… What? Oh, nothing just lost in thought."
'What am I doing?' she thought to herself. 'How could I possibly want that kind of attention now that I'm a normal student?'
During lunch, she walked around the school because she wasn't hungry. She was so fidgety that when class started she asked if she could be excused and wandered the halls.
"Aly, what are you doing outside of class?" her brother asked her when he saw her by the stairs.
"Angel?"
"You should get back," he told her.
"What are you doing here?"
"Restroom," he said.
"Yeah," she said. She was thinking about the twins again.
"Aly, you're acting strange."
"Am I?"
"You're ditching classes!"
"No, I- Restroom," she lied.
"You're not making any sense. Can it be that you've fallen for the twins?" he asked seriously.
"N- No," she stammered shyly. "Why would you-"
"You're blushing," he cut her off.
"So!" she said, then she changed the subject, "You should get to class before you get in trouble."
"You, too," he told her.
"Alright," she said turning around and getting back to class.
After class, she walked to the music room not really paying attention to time or to where she was going. Eventually she did get to the clubroom but she was late and the Hitachiin said that for her penalty she would have to play a game. She accepted their challenge of the "Which one is Hikaru-kun game". They were so sure she would get it wrong because no one in the world was able to guess right besides Haruhi. They told her to turn around as they got ready and put their hats on to hide their partings. Apparently they had forgotten all about her people skills.
"So which one?" they said in unison as she turned around.
"Hikaru on my left and Kaoru on my right," she sighed.
"Nope, you're wrong!" they said.
"Am not! I know that Hikaru is on the left and Kaoru is on the right!"
"You're right," said Haruhi who was annoyed with the twin's silly game.
"But how?"
"I have people skills remember? And besides I've got your scents figured out. If you hadn't noticed I sit right behind Haruhi in class."
"Tamaki, good job," he hugged Alicia.
"Senpai, you smell good today," she said finally giving him a compliment.
"Are you saying that I usually stink?" he asked.
"No, I'm just saying that you smell good," she said starting to get irritated.
"So, you are saying I stink," Tamaki crouched in a corner.
"Next time, I won't give you any compliments," she sighed as she went to change with Haruhi.
"Tamaki, you have to realize that we aren't used to giving compliments like you. She's trying to be nice and you're just irritating her by shrugging her off like that," Angel said defending his sister.
"I can't believe she saw right through us," Kaoru was telling Hikaru.
"Damn, more and more people are starting to break our barrier," said Hikaru who didn't want his world with Kaoru to end.
"It's okay Hikaru. It isn't a bad thing that were letting more people into our world. I'm actually kind of happy. First, Haruhi and now Alicia."
"I'm not letting her in," Hikaru said selfishly.
"You two don't have a choice," said Tamaki. "She's going to be part of you life whether you like it or not."
"Is that how you really feel about my sister?" Angel asked Hikaru, a hint of anger on his voice.
"The two of you have stolen our customers. If weren't for you guys we'd still be," Hikaru was making this up he didn't know what else to say.
"Bullshit," said Angel, "You like her and you don't know what to do since you like Haruhi, too. Then, there's the fact that you don't know how to tell them."
"What do you know?" said Hikaru turning around to help his brother dress.
"She likes all of you, she really does. She's glad you two helped her be less selfish so she admires you two. How can you two act like she doesn't exist when you have already influenced her?"
"I didn't want to. Hikaru made me," said Kaoru.
"You have a mind of your own! You don't have to do what this idiot says even though you're the younger brother," Angel lectured them.
"Angel, leave them be," said Alicia who peaked out of the curtain. Then she added, "Kyouya-senpai, I have to speak to you about my role in this club."
****************************
"Senpai," she said as soon as they walked out the front door. "I can't host with my brother anymore. I hesitate too much and I know you've noticed."
"Yes, well, I knew you were never really cut out for this," said Kyouya in a very straight-forward way.
"But I do want to stay as close to my brother as possible. So can I-"
"Of course you'll be in charge of serving all of us as a bus girl," he said.
"Really, you'll let me stay?" she sighed in relief. "I was so sure you were going to say no."
"Well with a bus girl, Haruhi will be able to take on a lot more customers than usual."
"I won't get in your way senpai I promise."
