Chapter Two

"No! No-no-no-no-no-no! Absolutely not! I will not have my Haruhi left behind on a Club trip to the Ootori's new facility! I WILL NOT!"

It seems Senpai is pissed… Haruhi thought, Where is Foya?

Tamaki-senpai was still flailing about as Kyoya watched him, vigorously jotting down something in his notebook. Mori-senpai frowned, leaning against the back of one of the couches, arms crossed.

"Kyoya, if your father only wants the five of us to go, then that means we will be split up anyway, correct?"

Kyoya smiled. "Right. Look, Tamaki, Haruhi will be taken care of. We will just have to-"

"I WILL NOT GO WITHOUT MY HARUHI!"

"Tamaki, calm down. I'm sure Hii-chan doesn't want to go in the first place. Maybe I-"

"Ahem." Harhi couldn't take all the talking behind her back anymore. Especially if it was Foya.

"My name is HARUHI. And, what are we talking about?"

Honey-senpai took the seat next to Mori-senpai and frowned, hugging Usa-chan close.

Kyoya casually pushed his glasses up, refusing to look at Haruhi.

"My father only wants a total of five of us to go to their new resort. I am a default so that leaves four. Mitsukune-senpai and Mori-senpai are two more. Then Tamaki, a total of four. We only have room for one more person to go on the trip."

Haruhi huffed. "Well, the twins aren't going to be split up, that's for sure.."

"Exactly, Hii-chan," Rite smirked, half leaning against Tamaki-senpai, "You have to stay to keep them company."

"Why aren't the twins going?"
Haruhi was very annoyed. She hated when Foya called her Hii-chan.

"Hikaru and Kaoru have the placement test on Thursday. You're in class 1-A as well, correct?"

Haruhi nodded. "Well, then you have to stay as well."

Kyoya pushed up his glasses and looked up at the groaning Haruhi.

"I'm sorry, Haruhi. We're going to have to leave you."

"Wait, I'm confused. So you guys are going to be missing two days of school for this?"

Foya laughed. Haruhi hated it. It was high pitched and ridiculously loud-worse than Renge's.

"What does two days matter, Hii-chan? We've already completed our placement exams. Yours is Thursday. So you three have to stay."

Wait..

Now Haruhi was really mad. Foya was going WITH them! WHY! This was going to be THEIR trip! The HOST CLUB's trip. Not Rite Foya's 'I win, Hii-chan' trip!

Haruhi spun on her heels and ran out the doors of Music Room 3, ignoring Tamaki-senpai's loud shouts at Kyoya.

"Now look what you've done, Kyoya! Insulting the commoners!"

SENPAIIIIIII! She thought-screamed at him, Is that all I am to you anymore!

She ran down the hall, out the door, and right into Kaoru's stomach.

"Haruhi?" The concern in Karou's voice made her realize how hard she was breathing. And….crying? Not possible…

She looked at him as he wiped a tear from her cheek.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

"We saw you running out of the Music Room," Hikaru finished, appearing behind his brother.

Truthfully, Haruhi didn't know… In reality, she understood Kyoya's reasoning for leaving class 1-A behind. They haven't taken their placement exams yet, and without them, Haruhi couldn't graduate. She knew this. She also knew the twins had to take it as well, because they were still too young to skip them. What didn't make sense though, is-

"Why is FOYA going!" she spat, not realizing that it was out loud. Hikaru and Kaoru frowned.

"What do you mean?" They asked in unison, just like they so often did. Haruhi always wanted to know how they did it. Haruhi calmed down enough to sit down against the base of a cherry blossom tree. The twins sat on either side of her.

"Kyoya's family's new resort. They're all going tomorrow..They're leaving us and instead of us, Tamaki-senpai is taking RITE!"

Kaoru put an arm around her shoulders as she told them, then looked at Hikaru.

"Haruhi, maybe it's for the best. Tamaki really likes Foya-chan," Hikaru started,

"And Ritsuke really has taken a liking to Tamaki," Kaoru finished.

"Besides, we really need to pass that exam," Haruhi butted in. She couldn't bear to think about Senpai and that damn-

"Wanna go grab something to eat, Haruhi?"

"Sure.." she complied. Why bother passing the opportunity for time alone with the twins? She loved the Hitachiin brothers. More than anything.

"I heard about an amazing restaurant someone just opened up by our house," HIkaru smiled, standing to help Haruhi up. He took her hand and began walking towards the front of the school where she guessed their driver would be picking them up.

"I think they have Fancy Tuna!" Joked Kaoru, taking her other hand.

Yes, she agreed, more than anything.
