A?N: So this took a lot of planning on my part. My computer was being borrowed so I couldn't write this right away, but when I did get my writing device back, I knew exactly what I was going to say. Oh! THE ROYAL WEDDINGS THIS WEEK! AHHHHHH! Oh my gosh I'm such a freak XP. But I won't ever change. I LOVE MY REVIEWERS! YOU GUYS ROCK! Pffttt...I was going to say somthing important, but I forgots!
Disclaim: Errrr... I don't think the owner of Ouran is as big of a Royal Wedding fan as I am.
Of course my hands were shaking the rest of the day. Wouldn't yours?
All of the first year class rooms were in the same general area, so when it came to moving about in the hallways, I took the scenic rout and went through the second and third year halls.
By lunch I had run into the bathroom to dry heave what would've been my meal had I eaten.
I didn't. I sat at lunch avoiding any human contact and pushing my food around on my plate. Caviar can be very entertaining when you want it to be. I took a few small bites, enough to keep me going (I never missed a meal) but at the same time enough to not barf all over anyone's shoes.
Now, you do know I'm not being over dramatic. You know the feeling don't you? It's not butterflies in your stomach….no. Butterflies are good. I got bees or…moths in my stomach. Then you get the chills a little bit so you don't stop shaking. Then your head hurts.
I drank quite a bit of water throughout the day. It was what made my stomach quit growling.
I had so many regrets. Why did I have to get that much confident? I never thought things thoroughly through.
In my classes, I could barley hold my pencil still. And to add salt to the wound (or anger to the bees), the girl next to me kept yelling at me to calm down.
Of course, it wasn't "Will you please quit shaking the table?" The girl I sit next to was a Yankee, through and through. She was rebellious and very, very scary.
So the words that came out of her mouth were somewhere along the lines of "Quit shaking, will you? Don't make me beat your face in!"
When you are about to make the biggest decision of your meek little life and a future gang member is yelling at you, then you don't feel to great afterwards.
School was over, eventually. I was both nervous and relieved.
No more sitting next to scary class mates.
But at the same time….something much scarier was ahead.
I let everyone else get to wherever they were going before going on my own way.
Too scared to make progress, I wandered around the halls a little bit. Doubts of my information hung in my mind.
What if he doesn't know what "The same place as before" means? What if I accidentally wrote down the wrong time? What if he expects someone else? Oh gosh…
The possible worst thought to have in a situation such as mine popped into my head. I know we have all had this thought at least once or twice in our lives.
I haven't seen him in a while….What if he already has a girlfriend? Even if he doesn't, what if he has a crush on another girl who's smarter or prettier than me? What if I'm just not good enough? I bet he's taken or….
Or what if he plays the same game as he did before?
I tried to shake the thoughts out of my head. I needed to get going.
I nearly ran into Haninozuka and Morinozuka on the way to where I was headed. I heard them talk about Kaoru getting a note from "Some girl".
I went into the bathroom to dry-heave some more.
I got to there- the place I had first ever spoken to both of the twins. Oh gosh, what if I feigned. Feigning is better than crying. Less embarrassing and you could use excuses like you had some unheard of medical disease or that you were really, really hungry. (Which I was)
I know my plan did seem a bit childish. I asked him to meet me outside of the middle school. But I felt like that was symbolic somehow….which was also rather adult, when you think about it.
I had to grip one of the pillars. I was scared.
I waited five minutes, and he didn't show. I felt as if I were some sort of fool who's both happy and sad at the fact that she'd just been stood up. Or had I? I did stop due to some….err….bumble bees trying to fly out of my stomach. What if… what if I was late?
It made sense. He probably waited for me forever!
Oh no, it's me who was a jerk. At least I didn't sign my name.
You know, if we missed eachtoher, I would never have to confront him! Then I wouldn't have to face my fears. But what would Haruhi say? It wasn't that he was a friend of mine, but I've had some sort of odd respect for commoners. How did they live being so poor? To me, they had a little rustic charm about them since they had so little. And with that little charm came a tad, so-so about, a very large sense of respect with it.
Anyway, at this point I was pacing. I checked the time on my cell phone. I had only been standing there for a few minutes. Darn. I'll wait five minutes more. Though time does NOT fly when your anxiously waiting for your crush to arrive.
I waited.
And I waited.
Two more minutes…
One more…
Where is he?
Alright, I may have to leave. I turned around to go, half saddened and half glad.
I had missed him. Or he stood me up. I preferred to think of the former, for the latter made me feel like the kind of loser that says "former" or "latter".
Oh, wait. I am.
I was only two steps from my point of origin when I heard running footsteps and heavy breathing a few paces behind me.
Was it who I thought it was? It had to be.
"Sorry I'm late" Kaoru breathed.
Figuring it would be rude to keep walking, I turned around.
