A loud buzzing noise fills my ears, slowly pulling me into the real world. I'm so tired, I just need a few more hours of sleep. Pushing my face into whatever I was holding, I start to remember the events that happened last night. Also reminding me of where I was at, and who I was with. That's all the more reason to go back to sleep, to just be away from what has happened, and what I know will happen./p

I have to get ready for school," I hear a soft whisper say, gently trying to remove my arms without disturbing me too much. I just pull her closer and lay on top of her, as a child would. "Come on Yuugure, I can't be late."/p

I slowly moved off of her, rolling onto the floor into a sitting position. I yawn and put my hand into a fist, rubbing it to my eye./p

I stand behind her as she pulls out what seems to be a uniform, but for a male. She handed the outfit to me as she bent down to get a pair of socks. Holding up the outfit, I look over it. It seemed to be a pretty plain uniform. A pair of black, dress khakis made of a thick material and very good stitching. The white button-up shirt proved to be male and was rather long. Perfect for tucking in, I guess. The blazer was definitely a male's, the padded shoulders gave that away. It also had a patch on it that said Ouran Academy. I guess that is the school she now attends. Most likely by a scholarship, because I know Ouran Academy is a very rich school and Haruhi doesn't have that kind of money just lying around. Plus, I know Haruhi is extremely smart, she's proven that many times over the years I've known her, so it would be easy for her to ace the scholarship test. Though I must wonder, why does she have the male's uniform? I know Haruhi well enough to know that some guy didn't leave it here, she's not one to date guys, or let one forget something like their outfit. Maybe I'll just ask./p

I quietly ask her, tilting my head, and looked at her confused./p

I'll tell you over breakfast, okay?" I just nod my head at my brunette friend, and I raid through her draws and pull out an outfit. It was a nice outfit, but one I don't think Haruhi wore often. It had a short-sleeved shirt, that was a dark grey and black with strips, and it was slightly loose around my thin body, but got tighter when it had gotten to my chest. Unlike Haruhi, I had a slightly more feminine body form. Quickly switching out the shirt, I grabbed the shorts that I had picked. They were slightly higher than mid-thigh and a light grey color, but I was only going to be around Haruhi and her father, so I didn't mind the shortness. After putting on the two main articles of clothing, I slip some thigh-high black socks and picked up what seemed to be an old pair of combat boots, planning on placing them by the door. (the picture at the top, but without the green socks and gloves.)/p

Carrying Haruhi's boots in hand, I start to smell something cooking. Did Haruhi make me breakfast? She was always one that loved to cook for others, she's done that for me since I've known her. Though it has to be one of the reasons I love her, she's always so thoughtful when it comes to others. Plus, she is a great cook!/p

As I entered the kitchen, I notice a pile of dishes in the sink from her cooking and notice it slowly getting bigger. Smiling softly, I sneak in past her and to the sink. Haruhi never allows me to do her dishes, her being too polite to let a guest do that. I'm able to get past her and to the sink, but as soon as I turn the faucet on, she hears me and turns around./p

I figured since you're making me breakfast and letting me stay here, the less I can do is help with the dishes." I keep my back to her to make it seem like it was nothing. But to be truthful, all she is doing means a lot to me. Not many people would do this for me, and I'm glad that I have her. As I finish a hand full of the dishes, I hear her sigh, and turn back to making whatever she was cooking. I let off a small smiling, knowing I had won this one./p

So that is why she's dressed like a guy right now! I guess that makes sense. But I still feel bad, she must go through all of this on her own. I would love to help her, but Haruhi would never let me. She only relies on herself, I don't think she's ever really asked me for help before. Sigh, I guess there isn't really anything I can do about her debt, but there is something I can help her with!/p

Haruhi had said that the school was walking distance from her apartment and that that was how she got to school each day. I figured I would walk her home! The walk was still long, and I thought I would keep her company on her walk. It's the less I could do. Though, there was a surprise to this too. It's a secret though, so I won't tell Haruhi until dinner! Or maybe I'll just wait until tomorrow? Ooh, I don't think I can wait that long! I pull my phone out and plug my earphones in, figuring that I would listen to some music while walking to her school. Better than walking in silence, right? Turning on King Park by La Dispute, I shove my earphones in and quicken my past./p

That must be Ouran Academy. I looked up the school online before actually leaving so that I wouldn't get lost. I'm pretty sure Ouran is the only all-pink high school. Pushing open the doors, I look around the main hall. My God, this school is huge! I've never seen any place this big! Even back home was so much smaller than this, and everyone there had the biggest houses they could get their hands on. How rich is this school?!/p

They were talking loudly, but Yuugure was still listening to her music, Machine by Born of Osiris, and she couldn't hear anything but that. Time seemed to slow down when Yuugure hits the youngest of the two. The other watches it happen as if it was a scene in a movie. The two run into each other with a force that threw the smaller of the two onto the floor. Her phone flies out of her hands, and she falls to her back. Yuugure's long hair makes a pool around her as she hits the floor, and the two could hear the loud bang from her head hitting the floor. The two twins look down at the small girls, their mouths gaping open in shock. The youngest, the one she had hit, was the first to act. He quickly kneels next to the fragile looking girl, hovering his hand out above her, wondering if he should touch her shoulder and see if she was alright./p

Are you alive?" he asks, lightly tapping her shoulder, and looking back to his older twin. He was still just standing there, looking at her. The younger moves both of his hands to wave his brother to come down and check on her too with one hand, and the other pushing itself through his orange hair. The older doesn't move much. He just moves his body, so he is facing the two on the floor, and his shocked expression changes into one much worse. One full of anger./p

She had moved so she was sitting on her knees, her hands folded in the lap, arms tightly pushed against her sides, and her face facing down. Her position made the youngest twin think she was slightly frightened, maybe even scared to look up at them. The older one has a similar thought about her, but he didn't care. While his younger brother was worried about her, wanting to know if she was okay and to show that she didn't have to be scared at all, the oldest had something else in mind. His mind was clouded by anger at the girl for running into his brother, that he ignored the thought that she was afraid. He simply didn't care at the moment./p

The twins hear a very quiet voice yelp out. The girl's voice was soft, sounding so sweet to the two, and so innocent. The oldest got a small blush on his face hearing it, but quickly pushed it away. He was still too angry to think about how sweet it was. The other froze at the sound of her voice, staring at her with wide eyes. He thought that her voice fitted the way she looked right now. Small, fragile, and sweet. Now all he wanted was to see her face, to see if it matched her voice also. The oldest brother would have thought the same as his brother if he weren't angry./p

P-please for-forgive me!" The youngest brother didn't miss her stuttering, nor did he miss her small flinch when his older brother yelled at her. It seemed to frighten her even more. From how she was acting, the youngest didn't think he would ever see her face./p
p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 24px; font-size: 18px; font-family: 'Source Sans Pro', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 24px; padding: 0px; color: #222222;" data-p-id="21f7c4560395af5078a74c865592023d"But he did. He was shocked when she looked up at his older brother, her eyes were squeezed shut. The two brothers stare at her, taking in her appearance. They both had the same thought. Her face does match, perfectly. Her face was a pale color, like snow. Even with her eyes shut, they could tell that she has big, wide eyes, though they didn't know the color. Her face was round, with some fat on it, but mostly on her cheeks. Her dark brown hair had a red tint to it, making it seem to glow red, and frames her face perfectly, bangs falling slightly into her eyes. The color made her skin seem to glow. Her eyebrows were hidden by her bangs, and her nose was small and slightly curved at the tip. Her lips are a soft pale pink, making them blend perfectly with her skin so that they didn't stand out too much. They formed into a small mouth. In all, she looked innocent, cute, and in a way that made you want to protect her. But judging from how she was acting, not many did protect her. Just that alone made Hikaru freeze for a second, debating on if he should continue with his yelling. But not for long./p

I'm fine!" He couldn't let his older brother continue scaring the girl. She looked like she was about to wet herself. He knew his brother didn't mean to scare the poor girl this much, he just let his anger get the best of him when it came to the youngest's safety./p

I pr-promise I-i'll pay mor-more attention!" The twins look at her, letting a gasp out as they see that she had opened her eyes. They seemed to be a mix between brown and green, making them catch the light from the room. Her eyes were in fact big and wide, making her look even more like an innocent little girl. Even though she seemed to be their age. The oldest twin, Hikaru, seemed to freeze in his thoughts of yelling at her. He wanted to stop, he didn't want to see how scared she was. But again, his anger got in the way. He looked away from her at his brother./p

An-and I-i'm sorry!" She quickly stood back up straight and made her way down the hall and around a corner. The other two didn't have time to react before she was out of their sight. The two stared at where they last saw her, as she leaned against the wall in the other hallway. Her heart was beating so fast and hard. She couldn't believe it. Breathing in and out she tried to calm herself down. She was never one to talk to other people. She was always so nervous around other people. Always so shy, that's why she never had many friends. Only the two, Haruhi and.. her. As her breathing becomes normal again, she starts looking around, trying to find her way to Music Room 3./p
