Haruhi sighed as Tamaki bounced around. It was as if nothing had happened just yesterday. "Haruhi! Why are you so quiet?" he asked her as he bounced to her side and smiled at her. She stared back at him before finally speaking. "No reason, I'm just tired is all." She said not want to take the smile of his face. She didn't want to ruin his happiness for once. It's just that…how he had treated her and told her during the whole Derek incident. Tamaki looked at her for a moment, his smile disappearing for just a second before making a speedy recovery. "If you say so." He said before leaving her side. Haruhi watched as he charmed some girls a little ways from the table, making them sway. She shook her head with a small smile on her lips. "Thinking about the other day?" asked a voice from behind her. She turned to find Kyoya standing there with his clipboard I hand as always. "Oh, Kyoya, I didn't see you there." She said as she looked at him. He walked up so that he was standing beside her chair and watching Tamaki as he charmed more girls. "Yeah, I guess I was. It just surprised me how Tamaki-senpai acted. I…I've never seen him THAT serious. It's just not how he is…" she said as she looked at the floor. "Apparently that is how he is if he acted like that. You said it yourself; Tamaki would do anything to make his friends happy." Kyoya said before walking off. Haruhi only watched as he left.
Tamaki stood beside Haruhi in home ec and watched as she cleaned off the counter. She had been acting a little strange since yesterday. He didn't know that whole thing affected her that much. He was beginning to worry about her. But he knew if he acted like nothing had happened then it would make her happy. Well, happier than she would have been if he had shown her how affected he had been by it. His eyes glazed over as he began to think about this. Noticing this, Haruhi paused her cleaning and looked up at him. "Tamaki-senpai? Are you all right?" she asked as she looked at him. He shook his head and smiled at her a smile he thought would assure her. "I'm fine Haruhi." He said. She stared at him a moment before she finally smiled. "I'm glad." She said meaning it a different way. She was glad she wasn't the only one affected by the whole ordeal. She could tell he was worried about her but she just couldn't grasp why. She shook her head rid of the thoughts that entered her head and noticed how Tamaki was looking at her. He had a confused look on his face yet it was filled with a childish joy. "T-Tamaki-senpai?" she asked. "Haruhi!" he said and pulled her into a hug and started ranting about how nice she was and all those things.
Haruhi rubbed her head as she walked to her next class. The twins pulled up beside her and looked at her. "Milord?" they asked as they saw her rubbing her head. She nodded and looked ahead. They sighed as the group entered their next class and sat down. "Haruhi, by any chance does that incident still bother you?" they asked her. She looked over at them before finally speaking. "Well, only one part of it does. When he threatened us about that gunman and everything. I don't know if I should believe him or not." She said as she looked at her desk. "Haruhi, don't worry about it. He was probably lying about it just to scare us. So just kick it out of your mind. Okay?" Hikaru said. She nodded and gave them a small smile. They could tell it still worried her and she wouldn't stop thinking about it anytime soon. Kaoru sighed as the twins realized this. They didn't have time to discuss it anymore as the teacher called the classes attention and started the lesson. Finally, after it seemed like forever, class ended but just as the students were about to leave the teacher called their attention again. "Before you leave I have news to tell you. This Friday the school will be having a dance. You know how to dress and everything so I'm not going into the details. You also know what will happen if you break the rules so stick to them. You may leave." She said as she turned back to her chalkboard. Haruhi sat there for a minute before standing up and walking out with the twins at her side. "A dance? What is it for?" Hikaru asked as they walked towards the front doors. "She didn't say." Haruhi answered as she shook her head. As they walked through the doors, they passed Derek. Haruhi stopped for a moment before continuing to walk. She shook her head. She thought she had seen something in his eyes like a warning. As if the upcoming dance was something perfect. She shook her head again and entered the limousine that held the other members of the host club.
Hey guys, thanks for reviewing so much! If you keep this up then the only break I'll have is when I go to Texas and when I finish it. I didn't expect to get fifty reviews so soon. Well, now we're heading for 60 which shouldn't take long...you're already half way there.
