The movie was pretty good. At least, it sounded good. Hikaru and I made out through most of it. When we weren't making out, we were too busy thinking about how awesome the last kiss was to concentrate on the movie.

Anyway, when I saw Anju the next day, I thought she'd be ready to kick my ass. But instead, she was all smiles.

"Cassie! Hey!" she beckoned to me as I strode up the walkway to the fast food place we hung out at on Saturdays. Afraid her joy was a fake she was using to lure me in and kill me, I was hesitant to approach her. But when I did, she hugged me. Hugged me. And Anju was all about personal space.

"Thank you for what you and Hikaru did!" I gasped, beaming.

"No way! Don't tell me you actually went on that date?" Anju winked at me.

"Oh, I did! And gosh, Kaoru is so sweet! You're right when you say the twins are really their own person when they're alone. I was ready to turn on my heels and go, but he offered that we grab a bite together, since we were already there. So we got a table and started talking. He remembered that I was a vegetarian, and ordered for me without my asking. He got me a veggie burger: just what I wanted! And then he…"

As Anju continued her reflection of the night, my smile softened. Anju was always the serious of the two of us. With her dark mascara, single pierced ear, and spiky black hair, she was as nonconforming as could be. Like the twins, she closed herself from the world. She was my opposite: I tried to make friends and failed, people tried to be her friend and failed. Yet somehow… we understood each other. Since that fateful day in 6th grade when our science teacher assigned us a project together, we were each other's' worlds. Besides our families, nobody else existed in our universe. The only people we talked enthusiastically about were ones on TV or when laughing about someone we hate. Now here Anju was, out-of-characteristically going off on a fantastic day she had with someone else. It's amazing what love can do to a person.

"-and he said let's do this again some other time. Do you know what that means?" Anju exclaimed.

"You two are totally going out!" I squealed. Anju nodded enthusiastically, gray eyes sparkling. I clapped gently (which is very difficult with a sling) and jumped up and down.

"Do you have any idea how PERFECT this is? Now we're practically sisters!" I cried. Anju nodded and took my good hand.

"EEP!" we shrieked in unison. Anju very rarely was this animated, but I never take the times that she is for granted.

Our celebrating was suddenly interrupted by We R Who We R by Ke$ha sounding from my skirt pocket. I dug through it and pressed "answer" on my phone without paying attention to the number.

"Cassandra speaking," I chimed.

"Hey, it's me. Put it on speaker." I grinned at the happiness in the familiar voice as I did as I was told. Kaoru must've told him.

"Hey baaaaaby! How goes it?" I squeaked.

"AMAZING. Did Anju tell you?" I could hear the grin in Hikaru's voice.

"Yuuuup! Mission successful!" Hikaru laughed in victory.

"I'm here too," came the voice of Kaoru. He sounded even happier than his brother. "So, there's only 2 weeks until summer vacation," he began. I had nearly forgotten that fact! I'd need to schedule a time for Kyouya and Anju to tutor me for final exams.

"In like, 6 months, our parents are throwing a party," continued Hikaru. "Everyone who's anyone in the world of the rich is invited. The whole Host Club is coming too. It's gonna take place on a yacht that belongs to a friend of our mom. Our parents are letting Kaoru and I bring dates, so…" My and Anju's eyes lit widened then lit up. We, who were at the bottom of the commoner totem pole, were being invited to a party on a yacht!
"We'd love to!" we chimed. But abruptly, my face fell.

"Wait… No offense Anju, but won't we be embarrassments to your family? I mean, we're commoners…"

"Don't worry about it, Cassie!" the twins exclaimed simultaneously.

"If our parents like you, your rank won't matter," smiled Hikaru. I nodded. But then my face fell again.

"W-wait, when am I meeting your parents…?"

"Both of you are, and this evening at around 5! If you're available," the twins replied. Anju was back to her calm and cool personnel.

"Yeah, we're free."

"Great! See ya then!" The twins hung up, leaving me speechless with an open phone that was blaring a consistent "beeeeep" noise. How the hell was I supposed to impress the parents of some of the richest, handsomest boys alive, with only 5 hours to prepare?
