It's been a couple of weeks since the beach trip, and I still haven't requested Tamaki. I've been sitting with everybody except for him, and I know why. I like him... I really do. Everything about him: his hair, his eyes, his laugh, and his compassion. But I know that he likes Haruhi, which makes me happy for her! But sad for me... But anyway, it was shaping up to be just another ordinary day at school, until lunch.
"Hey, Cat, you should join the host club." Hikaru said. I nearly choked on my soda.
"What's that supposed to mean?" I yelled, causing Hikaru and Kaoru to laugh.
"I just meant that you would make a really good hostess." he explained and this kind of picked up my attention.
"We've been meaning to start adding some girls for a while, 'cause we feel kind of bad for the other rich boys with too much time on their hands." Kaoru continued. I thought for a second. "It would be really fun, I mean, the guys always have fun. And maybe Tamaki will get jealous... WAIT! Why did I just think that! What's that supposed to mean?" I felt a blush grow on my cheeks as I thought about Tamaki.
"Sure, I mean, it's not like there's a guy that I want to make jealous or anything." I said laughing nervously. The twins exchanged some sort of twiny twin twin glance before looking back at me.
"Wanna get to Tamaki, eh?" the said in unison. I jumped in my seat and my cheeks burned.
"Wh-what? What's that supposed to mean? That I like him, 'cause I don't! Not like a boyfriend or anything! Not that he wouldn't make an amazing boyfriend, I just don't- I mean- I- uh! Ugh, forget it."
"Cat. You. Like. Tamaki." they said slowly. I looked down at my feet and wanted to nod, but I didn't.
"Who likes Tama-chan?" Honey asked as he and Mori took a seat next to me. I jumped again and bolted up to a straight sit.
"Nobody likes Tamaki! Wait- I mean, lots of girls like Tamaki, like me. I mean- I like him like a really good boy friend! Ah- guy friend I mean! Not boyfriend but a boy that's a friend!" I rambled as Mori and Honey exchanged a cousiny cousin look.
"So, you like Tamaki." they said together and I once again turned beet red.
"Cat finally likes Tamaki?" Kyoya joined in. I stared at his sitting figure in shock.
"What? I n-never siad that I like him! Not that I don't I just-"
"We get it! You like Tamaki but won't admit it." Kaoru and Hikaru interupted me. I began shaking my head quickly when Haruhi and Mello (Kaoru's new girlfriend (she's so cute! she's tiny and has really soft eyes! they make a great couple)) joined in the "fun".
"So Cat finally realizes that she likes Tamaki?" Haruhi asked and Mello giggled as the sat next to Hikaru and Kaoru. I sighed in defeat and looked down at my shoes again.
"Fine... I like Tamaki."
Yes! She finally admitted it!
