Chapter 3 An Old Friend Returns
"You could stay at our house!" The twins exclaimed simulostanly.
"W-what?" I said, both pleased that we might not have to sleep on the streets, and scared that Drew would say no. After all, they are pervs.
"Is your last name Griffin?" Hikaru blurted out.
"Yeah…why?" we three said in unison.
The twins looked shocked.
…...
Hikaru's POV
When we were in middle school, we were really mean. Every time a girl put a love letter on one of our desks, we would prank them. Like if I found the love letter, I would pretend to be Kouru and tell that girl that Hikaru (me) liked someone else. I would ask if she would rather be with Kouru and she, thinking Kouru was me, would say okay. I then yelled to my brother, whom was hiding behind a tree, "Hey Kouru, she said she's fine with you!" Kouru would come out of hiding, walk up and say, "Saying that you're fine with either of us really means you don't like either of us." He rips the letter and the girl runs off.
But once, a girl named Sophia Griffin gave me a letter. When I met up with her, I told her I was Kouru and I liked her.
"Don't lie Hikaru. I know it's you. I've seen you two do this countless times." I was shocked, but didn't show it.
"What are you talking about? I'm Kouru." I replied
She mimicked my voice, "Hey Kouru, she said she's fine with you!"
As usual, Kouru came out of hiding. He walked over and I said,
"She knew…"
"Knew what Hikaru?" He asked.
"I knew your little prank. And that's really mean, what you two do. Most lovesick girls think you're both the exact same. That's why they say they would be fine with either of you. They don't realize you two are different." She said.
"How did you know our prank?" We said in unison.
"I've seen you pull it off. Oh, um, eheheh I only wanted to get your attention. You know, the letter. So, um, I wanted to be, um y-your friend be-because…" She trailed off.
"Why?" I asked.
"I know what it's like. For you to depend on one another and only have each other. I have two twins, Drew and Sydney. My older brother and sister. Where are they? I thought they came here with me…" She started to search like crazy. When she realized they weren't here, she started to hyperventilate.
"Are you okay?" Kouru asked.
"No… WAIT! Where are you going?" She shouted when we started to walk away.
"Away from you." I said. Her eyes filled with tears.
"Don't leave me here. I-I-I need m-my t-twins! I don't know what to do without them! I need to find them!" She yelled at us.
"Fine" we said. She started to follow us when a boy and girl with the same eyes and hair ran over.
"Sophia! We are sooooooo sorry! We got detention-" The girl started
"-for fighting on campus… Come on Sophia, give us a hug. We're sorry we forgot to tell you." the boy finished.
" Um who are you?" Kouru asked.
"These are my older twins! But I can't believe you two got in another fight! At this rate we'll get kicked out of Ouran!" She shouted.
"Hey, I fought because some guys were beating on Drew!" The girl, who must have been Sydney, said.
"Yeah…" Drew responded.
"You two are so weird. Oh! This is Hikaru and Kouru Hitachiin." Sophia said, pointing to each of us in turn.
"Hey." we said.
"Sup." They said.
"Hey Sophia, we really need to go home. Now." Drew said after an awkward silence.
"Ok. Bye." Sophia said sadly. Before they rounded the corner, she called out,
"See you Hitachiins later! TTYL!"
And she was gone.
