Chapter 2: I will protect you

"What's the commotion all about?" Haruhi asked as she entered the classroom. Everyone was looking out in the windows.

"Its them!"Naru exclaimed. Haruhi squeezed in between her classmates and looked out. Their classroom was located in the second floor.

"Who?"she asked.

Naru pointed below. A guy and a girl were walking across the field.

The guy looked familiar.

"Tamaki senpai?"Haruhi whispered.

Naru glanced at her. "Its Tamaki Suou"she said happily.

"His so cute!"another female classmate said.

"Who is his companion?"somebody asked.

"She's pretty! But I don't like the way she's clinging to him like a monkey" another person commented.

Haruhi remained quiet and continued to look at Tamaki from a distance. 'Why are you here?' she thought.

"Haruhi"Naru asked.

"Yes?"

"Do you know him?"

Haruhi nodded, "Yes, Tamaki Suou. We went to the same school"

"Really?"she asked with a trace of surprise in her voice. "Your a graduate from Ouran Highschool?"

"Yes, I am. But he is my senpai"she replied taking a seat.

"Your quite lucky!"she exclaimed. "Can you tell me more about him?"

Haruhi narrowed her gaze. "Why?"

Naru blushed, "I'm a big fan of him"

'oh..boy...' Haruhi thought.

"If you did study in Ouran, I bet you heard about the Host Club"she added. Haruhi nodded, "Its a famous Club in school. Tamaki Suou is the President, then Kyoya Ohtori is the Vice-President and we have the members"

Naru's eyes sparkled. "Oh wow Haruhi, it seems that you know a lot about them!"

That comment made Haruhi shift uncomfortably. Not everyone knew about her being part of the Host Club.

"Y-yeah.."she answered in a small voice, "I guess so.."

"Were you a scholar in Ouran Highschool?"

"Yeah"

"Your so smart Haruhi!"she exclaimed making a few heads turn to their direction. "Everyone! Haruhi here knows the entire Ouran Highschool Host Club!"

"Nee..Naru-chan..I..I don't think you should do that.."she stammered and shrank to her seat.

"Really? Wow!"

'oh no..'Haruhi thought helplessly.

Lunch time came and Haruhi hurried to the library to study. Taking Law was hard work. But she is determined to succeed to make her mother proud.

"Hey!"a female voice called.

Haruhi looked up and noticed three girls blocking her way. "What is it?"

They looked like school bullies. "Come with us"they said and pulled her towards a corner.

"Let me go!"she argued as they pushed her towards a wall. Pain shot through her back.

"What's your problem!"she shouted angrily.

"Somebody's been spreading news that you" a girl with lots of pimples pointed, "a commoner of this prestigious know Tamaki Suou"

Haruhi wanted to sigh. What a big deal!

"That is not your problem anymore"she answered and rubbed her shoulders.

"We hate commoners like you"another girl replied.

Haruhi smirked. "SO? Then avoid me"she shot back.

"Why you little brat!"the pimpled face girl shouted and grabbed her small shoulders.

"Put her down!"a male voice warned. Haruhi turned and gasped in surprise. She felt herself being released.

Tamaki walked towards them casually and stood in between them.

"Ah..Tamaki.."the girls replied in shock.

"Don't mess with Haruhi. You are students of Ouran University. I may have to tell the chairman to expel you indefinitely"Tamaki replied.

"Y-yes!"they nodded and ran away leaving Tamaki alone with Haruhi.

Slowly he turned and faced Haruhi.

"How are you?"he asked.

She looked up at him. "I am fine. What about you?"

"I'm pretty much the same.."then he took another step. "And you Haruhi..you have become more prettier"

"Huh?"she felt her heart thundering.

"But then"he replied, "I came back to tell you I am getting engaged"
