"Ms. Kawachi?"

"Yes, ma'am?" I answered the teacher.

"I need you to take this up to the office for me, since your the class representative for the day."

"Yes, ma'am."

After receiving the envelope from the teacher I left the room and headed down the hall. I turned the package in my hand and tried to guess the contents. It felt kind of heavy for just being an envelope, but I didn't exactly know what was inside. A string was what kept it closed, as it wrapped around a small metal piece on the bottom close to the top.

I continued to think about what could possibly be inside of the envelope when I heard footsteps on the other side of me. Since my eyes were still on the envelope I just glanced to my side to see who was walking with me. I couldn't really tell who it was from the uniform, all I could make out was that it was a boy walking beside me.

"Are you the representative today?" The voice of the boy beside me asked.

"Yes... Are you?" I questioned back, making my eyes look up as I came to a stop to talk with my company.

He merely nodded in reply.

"Ah! Sorry, senpai!" I bowed as I scolded myself for not being more respectful of the older boy in front of me.

"It's fine." He replied back to me. "We should walk together."

With my upper body still hunched over in a bow, I felt a heavy blush creep onto my cheeks.

Jolting upwards, I replied to my friend, "Of course!"

As my eyes met his, I felt my whole face heating up and my heart beat quickening.

It seemed that we looked at each other for a long time when I heard the call of another familiar voice from behind us.

"Sayuri! Mori! Are you guys class reps today, too?"

Looking back I saw Kaoru walking towards us with the same kind of envelope that Mori and I had.

Both of us just nodded in response to Kaoru's question.

When Kaoru had finally caught up to us, he eyed both of us suspiciously. I quickly looked away from his stare, noticing that Mori was unaffected by it. Kaoru shrugged it off and the three of us continued to walk down the hallway to the main office.

"So what do you think are in these envelopes?" Kaoru asked.

"I don't know, I was trying to figure that out earlier." I looked back down to the envelope in my hands as I spoke.

"Tests." Mori answered both of us.

"Oh." Kaoru and I stated in unison.

'How could I have forgotten?' I asked myself.

We had taken exams earlier in the week, the office probably needed them to see if students like Haruhi were still eligible for scholarships or to figure out the ranking of the class.


After we had dropped off the tests in the office, Kaoru looked at the clock.

"Well, I'm going this way. My class has gym right now." He pointed with his thumb to the hall behind him.

"See you at the Host Club!" I called to him, waving as he sprinted down the hall.

I looked to Mori to see if he was still with me. When I looked to the right and left of me he wasn't to be found, so I assumed that he had gone on to class.

"Darn... I really wanted to walk back with Mori-senpai..." I said looking to the ground in front of me defeated.

Sighing, I began to walk forward.

After taking a couple of steps I heard someone call out my name, so I turned to where the voice was coming from to answer.

"Yes..?" I said in a voice tinged with melancholy.

"Walk with me." The voice replied.

My eyes widened and my cheeks blushed again that day as I watched Mori-senpai walk over to me.

When he got to my side he looked down at me, his eyes seeming softer than normal.

"Where you behind me... the whole time?" I questioned, my blush turning a bright fuchsia.

He merely nodded in response.

"Oh.." Was all I let out of my mouth as I quickly turned my head from his- hair flying upwards as I did so.

Because my head was turned I would never see it, but Mori-senpai smiled at me from where he was standing before he took the first step forward.


The last bell rang for the day and I got up to gather my things. Tamaki and Kyoya walked over to my desk as I put books into my backpack.

"Are you all ready, Sayuri?" Tamaki asked me.

I picked my head up from where it was fixed on my books and looked to them.

I smiled widely as I spoke, "Yup!"
