Natalie Peterson always paid attention in any science class. Except for one day. It was the day after her date and her head was still spinning around and although she was flying in her head, she looked bored by the lesson at hand. Her blank, blue eyes stared off into space as she thought of her predicament.
The definition of an element is a substance that cannot be separated into simpler substances by any means.
Natalie thought as she fumbled with her pen.
Love is the exact same way.
It cannot be made simpler no matter how you put it.
Love is love and that's that.
All elements also have their own atomic mass which is an element measured in units based on the mass of one hydrogen atom.
It doesn't matter what element- every element has a mass.
But if that's the case…
Then what's the atomic mass of love?
"Natalie?" a voice whispered, breaking her poetic thoughts.
She looked over to see Kaoru sitting next to her. He looked just as bored as she was with the lesson and he seemed to take notice of her pensive expression.
"You ok?" he asked, making her blush a bit.
"Yeah," she sighed back, still thinking of the day before.
At first, things were very choppy and slow. Eventually, Kaoru brought her out of her shyness and started talking to her about what it was like in the States. Natalie even started using Texan slang, which to her surprise, he didn't seem to mind! Les Miserables was one of the saddest but greatest movies she had ever seen and the movie theater was top-notch too! The theatres could seat about ten to fifteen people (although it was just them) and had leather sofas replaced the common theater chairs. Natalie was very taken by the cleanliness and comfort of the theater and it was extremely different from the ones she was used to. In the end, she sobbed her little heart out into Kaoru's arm when Anne Hathaway began singing 'I Dreamed a Dream' and he held her until the end of the movie.
As she relived the date, Kaoru only smirked, knowing what was on her mind and turned back to the science lesson. It didn't take long for him to get bored with Kinetic Theory and turn back to her.
"Are you busy this weekend?" he asked eagerly, with hope in his eyes.
"U-um…" Natalie muttered, shocked, "I think so…"
As far as she knew, Kaoru had only taken her out to make it up to her for his brother's behavior so this sudden question was very out of the blue!
"…" Kaoru's eyes dropped at this as if he were disappointed.
"I-I mean I'm not busy! I'm open!" she whispered back, making his hazel eyes light up once more.
"Really? 'Cause I'd like to spend more time with you, Natalie," Kaoru whispered back, the science teacher beginning to notice their conversation.
Natalie leaned closer to his devilish face to whisper something else but was hushed by the teacher. Until the class ended, the two just kept glancing back at each other and smiling. The girl practically swooned all the way to The Host Club. When she got there, the members were all crowded Kyoya's laptop and seemed to be engrossed in something.
"What are ya'll doin'?" Natalie asked as she approached them.
"We're planning on doing a 'hosting on location' event!" Tamaki said excitedly.
"A…what?" Natalie asked curiously.
"We take our guests to different locations and host for there." Haruhi said simply.
"That sounds neat! So where is it gonna be?" Natalie asked.
"We're greatly considering France," Kyoya responded, pushing his glasses up, "Although Haruhi doesn't have a passport, our guests will get bored if they stay in Japan so leaving Haruhi behind may be a sacrifice we have to take."
"Well I'm against it," I complained, "We should go somewhere Haruhi should be able to come!"
"Yeah!" my boyfriend agreed.
"Like I said, our request rate will go down if we don't travel more broadly." Kyoya said, a little more stern this time.
The two of us just scoffed simultaneously.
"Um…will I be able to come?" Natalie asked nervously.
"Of course!" Tamaki said nicely, "You are the Host Club's Kiss-o-gram, after all."
"Oh yay! This'll be a might excitin'!" Natalie beamed.
I just couldn't share her enthusiasm. In the few hours of night, I made a major decision: I would tell Hikaru about my engagement that year! And with the big 'hosting on location' event was coming up, I figured it would be a good time to…wait…it would never be a good time to tell him. However, I would have to tell him sometime so I figured doing it in France might smooth things out a little.
Oh, Hika-chan. Please don't hate me… I thought, staring up at him (he was at least an inch higher than me). And another thing, why do you have to be taller than me! That makes it all the more intimidating!

Senka: We promise the next chapter will be longer!
Natalie: Next time... Undying Valor...
Kimi: You can be louder than that!
Natalie:...
Kimi: You're really quiet aren't you?
