A/N: Hey guys! It's my birthday today! :D HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME :) So as I said in the previous chapter, I will only be updating every weekend or so. I've noticed that everyone is sticking by and reviewing every chapter! That's really AWESOME, but it would be even MORE AWESOME if you guys show this to your friends! Thanks for the reviews!

It was already late by the time I got home, and I didn't have any homework. So I changed clothes and jumped into bed, hoping that the next day, Hikaru will not be mad at me anymore.
~~~~~~~~Mikayla's POV~~~~~~~~
I woke up and got ready for school. Haruhi rang the doorbell, and we were on our way to school.
"Haruhi, do you like Tamaki-senpai?" She stood there, frozen, like a statue. After a few seconds, she shook her head and continued walking.
"What are you talking about? As if I would like senpai, I mean he's so..." She kept babbling, but I knew from the look in her eyes that she felt something for him.
"Haruhi, I've known you since the first grade. I know how you act when you like someone."
"And how would you know that?" I took a deep breath and sighed.
"Do you remember your first crush, Ricky Guerrera?" She nodded her head and I kept on talking.
"When you're around Tamaki-senpai, you act just like you acted around Ricky."
"How?" Oh my gosh, she is so hopeless.
"You always acted sarcastic, kept on insulting him, and you act cool and composed."
"I always act cool and composed around everybody."
"But it was different with Ricky."
"It was?" I face-palmed.
"Never mind. Look, we're here."
We entered the academy. Haruhi and I went to our classroom and sat down. Like always, the twins were right behind us.
"Hey Haruhi! Hi Mikayla!" Kaoru was always so cheerful.
"Well you seem happy today, Kaoru." Haruhi said in a flat tone.
"Hey Kaoru." I looked over at Hikaru to see if he was going to say anything. I guess he really is mad. Nothing important happened during the next few classes. Hikaru, Kaoru, and I decided that we were going to walk to the host club together. My parents let me stay after school on a regular basis. It got too quiet, so I broke the silence.
"Come on, Hikaru. Why won't you let me apologize? You don't have to be a jerk and just ignore me all day." I could see a smirk on his face. I looked over at Kaoru and he had the exact same smirk.
"Uhh, what's going on around here?" Both of them started to laugh. Laugh? Why would they laugh?
"Hahaha, you're so cute!" Hikaru told me, which made me blush.
"Cute?"
"Yeah, cute!"
"Why?"
"Because you actually thought that I was mad at you." They planned that?
"You idiots! Why on Earth would you do that?"
"Well, haven't you noticed?" Kaoru began a sentence, and I had a feeling that Hikaru was going to end it.
"You're our toy."
"What? I am NOT your toy! That's why I came here yesterday in the first place! You said I wasn't going to be your toy if I came here, and I did."
"Well, we lied."
"You are so going to get it!" I chased the twins down the hallway, until they made a turn and I slipped on the floor. I'm such a clumsy person. I got up and walked the rest of the way to the host club.
"Jerks...thinking I'm their toy...playing with me...such brats." I kept mumbling to myself until I entered the room. Oddly, it was empty.
"How come there's no one here?" I looked around, but the only people that were here were just Haruhi and the twins.
"There you are, Mikayla. Senpai is home sick, Mori-senpai and Honey-senpai are at a judo match, and Kyoya-senpai had some business to take care of with his father." Haruhi, Hikaru, and Kaoru were sitting at the table in the middle of the room. I chose to go over there and sit with them.
"Hey Mikayla, when are we coming over to your house?" I was shocked as they said those words.
"W-what? Why?"
"Why not?" They both looked over at me with a smirk and it was annoying.
"Because I said so. You will not come over to my house."
"Aww. Please?" Hikaru begged with some sort of puppy dog eyes.
"No." Kaoru did the same thing Hikaru did.
"Pretty please?" I gotta admit, they were kind of cute, but that was not convincing enough.
"No means no." They begged even more, until I broke down.
"Fine! You can come over, only IF you promise not to be a pain. Oh, and Haruhi, you have to come too." Haruhi jerked up and had an annoyed look on her face.
"Okay, only because I don't trust these two guys."
"Great. So come over tomorrow and you can stay for an hour or so." Both of their faces lit up and they smiled at me.
"Awesome. See you tomorrow!" They took their bags, and left. Haruhi and I left a couple of minutes later. I had to get ready for tomorrow when Hikaru and Kaoru come over. Hmm, I wonder what mischievous thing they will do this time.
~~~~~~~~Hikaru's POV~~~~~~~~
Kaoru and I left the academy, with a happy look on our faces, now that Mikayla let us come over to her house tomorrow. We got into the limo, and we began to talk on our way home.
"So Hikaru, I think Mikayla kind of likes you." When those words escaped Kaoru's mouth, I blushed a little bit.
"Psh what? No she doesn't..." I tried to avoid this as much as possible.
"Sure she does, I can tell. When you called her cute, I saw her blush. Don't pretend you didn't see her." Could it be true? Could she like me?
"Okay, fine. But that doesn't mean I like her back." I think I made my point clear, until Kaoru opened his mouth once more.
"I never said you did, Hikaru." Oh, crap! I just blew it! But wait, I don't like her, do I? Gah, why is this so confusing?
"Well, I don't." I crossed my arms and turned the other way.
"Hikaru, you know you can tell me anything."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"I know you like Mikayla. Why are you trying to hide it? Just accept it." Could what he have said be true? But how did this happen so fast?
"Is it really that obvious?" I looked at him, but he was staring out the window.
"Hikaru, you have to remember that I'm your twin brother. I know you better than anyone else. It may not be obvious to anyone else, but it was crystal clear for me." I guess he was right. If I did like her, I had to accept the facts.
"Does this bother you?" If I knew my little brother, he would always be worried about me.
"As long as there is a place in your heart for me, I'm okay with whatever you're okay with." I gave him a hug and looked deep into his eyes.
"There will always be a place for you in my heart, Kaoru." He smiled at me, and we got out of the limo. It was already late, so we went to bed and desperately waited for the next day.
Done! Yay! Hikaru likes Mikayla! :D Things are going to start to get interesting...(: Sorry for the not-so-long chapter, but I was LOADED with school work :( Bye-bye!
