My face takes on the red tint of embarrassment and shame. Quickly, I hold my hands together in front of my lap and bow to the two twins that look almost exactly alike standing in front of me. I wasn't sure what else to do! Was the one brother still angry at me? Would he start yelling again? I don't know if I can take him yelling at me again in front of all these strangers and Haruhi. Before I can say anything to the two of them, I hear a small chuckle, which sounded more like him exhaling than anything./p

I'm fine if anything I should apologize to you now. You knocked your head pretty hard on the floor there. Your head ok?" I stand back up once I hear him, giving a small nod. I don't make eye contact with either of them since I'm still embarrassed about what happened./p

Once we get home, I'll just take some medicine and then I'll be fine./p

I give her a nod as she grabs her bag and waves to the group of guys, the same ones she told me about this morning. She makes her way back towards me so that we can head out. "Bye guys, I'll see you tomorrow!"/p

As she finishes Tamaki gets this huge smile and faraway look before he starts to make his way towards us, way too quickly to be normal. "Hey, Senpai! No, leave her alone, you just heard that she hurt her head! Swinging her around like you do could make it worse!"/p

"Especially one as beautiful as her." He pushes his glasses up with one hand, causing them to glare as he smiles at us./p

Before I can even think to answer, however, the group continues with their introductions. Probably already annoyed with Tamaki./p

I look down to see a cute blond boy staring up at me, he's shorter than me but not by much, just a couple of inches. I couldn't help the blush that spread over my cheeks as he smiled at me waiting for my answer. He looks like an elementary schooler, even in his high school uniform. I give him a quiet yes and a small smile, moving my gaze to who he referred to as Mori as Honey jumps around giving a loud yay. Behind him was a tall and handsome guy, taller than anyone I've met before. He just gives me a small nod, not saying a thing to me. I hope he's just the quiet type and doesn't dislike me./p

"Sorry I was so mean before, I hope now that we'll be seeing each other more we can be friends." One of the twins smiles at me as he apologizes, while the other looks like he's trying to hold back an annoyed expression. I smile back at the one twin, showing that I accept the apology even though I know he's the one I ran into and not the one that yelled. While I still can't tell who's who yet, it was obvious from their faces. Plus, the one who yelled at me didn't seem calm or nice enough to apologize so soon after. I hope what the twin was right though, and that we could move past it and be friends./p
