C10: And Yet Again… They. Woke. Me. Up.

I woke up screaming and freezing once again. Jesus, can't I sleepwalk anywhere indoors? I groaned as I looked around. I was standing in the middle of an empty street, in another suburban area. Hey, look on the bright side, Vinn! I tried to convince myself. You'll know this town inside out by the end of this semester. I sighed, wrapped my arms around myself, and started the long trek home again.

"HEY. WAKE UPPPPPPPPPP!" the twins yelled in my ears.

Oh. My. God. Why can't I ever just sleep?

"SLEEPY HEAD SLEEPY HEAD SLEEPY HEAD SLEEPY HEAD!" they sang. "RISE AND SHINNNENEEEEEEE!"

I pulled the pillow over my ears. "Why is she always so tired?" I heard someone ask. I think it was Haruhi.

"Her feet are dirty." I heard a deep voice add. I knew it was Mori, but I was too tired to muster up the anger for him.

These people are getting too observant. They'll figure it out eventually, I thought, dreading their imminent discovery.

They suddenly were silent. Finally, I thought, Peace and quiet.

Then I heard a small voice near my ear.

"Vinny-chan?" he said. " wake up?"

I peeked out from under my pillow into massive teary brown eyes. I couldn't deny them, no matter how hard I tried.

I groaned and rolled over, the light blinding my eyes.

Why can't I ever get a good night's sleep? And I can't wake up refreshed instead of pissed?

I sat up and Honey and the twins cheered. "Well, now we know how to get her up." Kyoya muttered to himself, jotting something down in his notebook again.

I glared my most evil glare I could muster at all of them besides Haruhi and Honey.

The twins and Tamaki screamed and ran out of the room. The rest followed more calmly, Honey skipping, leaving me to change.

I rubbed my eyes and tried to stay upright as I hopped around the room, trying to pull on my jeans. I didn't bother changing my sweatshirt. It was the best sweatshirt in the world, a black and white horizontal striped hoodie with a hood that was wayyyyy too big, so when I was feeling all emo I could just pull it up and my face would be cast in darkness, no features visible.

I sat back on my bed and pulled my gray converse on, deciding to bypass socks. Then I laid my head back on my pillow. I'll just rest for a minute or two… then I'll go outside… I thought, my eyes slipping closed.

I opened my eyes, expecting to see my room, but I was in the Host Club room again.

I groaned. How did I get here?

Then I remembered that yesterday Mori had carried me. He must have carried me again today. I was going to fucking ;Ljwh0orhij him.

I shot up from the sofa and looked around. "Hey, look. The evil beast has awoken." Hikaru snickered.

"Finally." Midori and Kaoru said at the same time.

"YAYAYAY! Vinny-chan!" Honey sang.

I ignored them all and marched over to Mori. I was about a foot away when he looked up from his book. I was just about to bring my fist into contact with that abnormally attractive face when Midori grabbed my cocked arm and dragged me away, saying, "Oh no you don't. I know you're all grumpy in the mornings and you hate that Mori carries you here, but you are NOT ruining this day."

I rolled my eyes, every once in a while shooting a glare at Mori.

Then I comprehended what she said. "What's so special about today?" Haruhi said at the same time that I thought it.

"I don't know. But we're gonna do something today. Not just sit around in this old dump."

The twins shot up and high fived each other. Tamaki leapt in the air like a dog. "What are we doing?" They all asked eagerly.

"I dunno." She shrugged. "Let's ask Kyoya!"

The four flew over to Kyoya and poked and prodded and annoyed him until he stopped typing. "What?" he said, aggravated.

I tuned them out and leaned back against the wall, sliding down and closing my eyes. I felt someone sit down next to me.

"You're always tired." Haruhi said.

I opened my eyes and glanced over at her. So? I thought. What was she getting at?

"Why?"

I knew perfectly well why. My subconscious was reacting to… I shook the thought away. It was just because I sleepwalked/sleptwalk/sleptwalked at night and all my sleeping hours were drained away trying to find my way back. But I just closed my eyes and shrugged. It was too much to explain. Unnecessary. I thought.

She sighed and went back to reading her book beside me.

"WE HAVE DECIDED," Tamaki yelled, jumping up onto a table and stabbing a finger dramatically into the air. "TO GO TO THE HITACHIIN ESTATE AND PERFORM THE COMMONER ACTIVITY OF 'HANGING OUT'! As Midori puts it."

I rolled my eyes. This should be exciting.

Everyone started to stand up. I whimpered. Standing was the last thing I wanted to do.

Midori ran over to me and tugged on my arm. "C'mon Vinn! You HAVVVEEEE to!"

Wanna bet? I asked silently as I slumped against the wall. Just leave me here to rot away and die.

My eyes slid closed and Midori pulled harder. "NO! Do NOT go back to sleep young lady!" she yelled.

Suddenly she got a sick smile on her face, and she turned to me, grinning. She dropped my arm. "Unless, of course, you want Mori to carry you again." She shrugged.

I shot up, shivering at just the thought. I glanced over to Mori, who had looked up at his name, and quickly looked away.

Then I leaped onto Midori's back and pointed ahead, shouting "DUM DA-DA DUMMMMMM!" like in movies. She wobbled and staggered, trying to catch her balance. I sighed. Such a waste of breath on such an awful warhorse.

"Oh I see, you can make noises, but you refuse to talk." She said.

I rolled my eyes, hitting her with my heels to get her to go faster.

She finally got stable and we marched onward, me grinning the entire way.

~end of C10~

WOOO. we're in the double-digits, now folks! put your seatbelts on!

just kidding. this story is boring me. but no worries, i WILL finish it, even if it kills me.

which it probably will.

*RANDOM NOTE THAT REALLY ISNT WORTH READING*:

ive decided to start another story. one with an actual plot and junk like that. not that this isnt nice, its one of those cheeky fluff stories that we all love, but sometimes ya need a little action.

unfortunately, this will not be an Ouran fic. it will be Bleach(which, of course, i do not own either.). im sorry if i let you down there.

SOO if you just happen to read this months from RIGHT THIS SECOND (10:31pm 5/13/11), i MIGHT just have it posted, and you should go check out my shockingly empty page and read it.

unless you dont watch bleach. in which case you shouldnt read it. it would just confuse you. and KEEP REVIEWING, GUYS! IT MAKES ME UPDATE FASTER. ^^
