While talking to one of my good friends, she mentioned that I was starting to lose focus of the Host Club aspect of the story. Especially, Nessa's feelings toward it and becoming manager. I will try to revert back to the original problem as much as I can.
Thanks and Happy Reading!
The only thing running through my head right now, is what just happened. Did Hikaru even know what he was saying? He seemed so sure about it, so confident. I grabbed a pillow and hugged it. I'll just sleep on it. Yeah, that sounds good.
"Miss, please wake up." My maid was shaking me.
My eyes fluttered, "I'm up. I'm awake!"
As soon as she heard me, she rushed to go grab me some clean clothes.
"Miss, you're going to be late for school if you don't hurry."
I yawned in response. I got up slowly, to my maid's distress. She finally decided to take matters into her own hands, and about ten minutes later I was ready to go.
On the ride to school, my mind crossed the events of last night. I was still very much confused and a bit nervous to approach Hikaru. I figured that I'd avoid the twins as much as possible until I was able to talk to Haruhi. That couldn't be too difficult, right? Then I remembered, it's the twins. Everything regarding them is a challenge, especially avoiding them. Maybe I'd just pretend like it didn't happen. I smiled a bit. That could work.
"Miss, we're here!"
I involuntarily groaned as my driver opened the door.
I walked into the buzzing classroom and smiled at Haruhi and the twins. Kaoru acted as if he didn't see me and Hikaru blushed before turning away. Haruhi looked at them strangely, before signaling me to come sit by them. I took a deep breath and walked over and took a seat in my desk.
"Hey guys!"
"Hi Nessa." Haruhi said, but noticed the twins weren't saying anything.
Gosh, these two were more awkward than I thought.
He jabbed Kaoru in the ribs.
Kaoru winced in pain and quickly waved at me before finding interest in whatever was under his nails. Hikaru didn't even acknowledge me at all. Haruhi noticed and before he was about to give Hikaru the same fate as his brother, the bell rang.
I noticed that both twins let out a little sigh of relief. Well, so much for forgetting about last night. If they wouldn't let those events go, it would be pretty hard for me to.
I decided to eat with Haruhi again at lunch, because with the twins acting how they were now, I had no one else to eat with. Well I suppose I could've sat with the rest of the Host Club, but who would want to put up with all the screaming girls? Plus, I wanted to talk to Haruhi and apparently he wanted to talk to me too.
As soon as I sat down, Haruhi asked the million-dollar question, "What's going on with you and the twins?"
I hesitated, should I tell him? I figured I'd better. I had to get it of my chest, and Haruhi seemed like a reliable person. I took a deep breath and explained the whole story to him.
After I finished, Haruhi chuckled, "So that's what this is all about? Oh, and just so you know, I was completely free last night. I had no calls from Kaoru-"
I suddenly felt a pang of anger, "You mean he was trying to set Hikaru and I up?"
"Seems like it, but it kinda backfired, didn't it?"
I smiled, Haruhi was right and not just about this. He was right about a lot of things.
"Hey, Haruhi? Would you mind if I swung by the Host Club again today? I've really been thinking about what you said. Y'know, that I'd get used to everything," I flushed pink, "Well, you were right. I'd like to make some more friends as well." I also had better clear everything up between the twins. Easier said than done.
His eyes lit up, "Sure, that sounds good. Meet me after class?"
"Sounds good."
For once, I actually felt good about something at this school.
