Crap.
Oh, crap.
Maybe I should've asked Maemi which friends we were going to meet.
Crap.
Three guesses who.
Anybody?
It's the fucking Host Club. Why am I such an idiot?!
Crap.
WHY DO I KEEP SAYING CRAP?!
"So we're meeting the Hosts?" I ask in mild annoyance. She knows what she's doing, I'll give her that.
She nods innocently. Yep, definitely knows what she's doing. "They've just been so kind to me. I thought I would return the favor by taking them ice-skating."
Crap.
"So, Sakura-senpai," Kaoru says as he walks up to Maemi and I, "are you ready to skate?"
Crap.
"I actually think I'm gonna go," I say as I turn away from them all. I haven't spotted Kyoya yet, so I take this opportunity to escape before he shows up and I do something stupid.
"Saku-chan!" The next thing I know, Hunny's on my back.
SERIOUSLY. THIS NEEDS TO STOP.
I fall to my hands and knees in the snow. For someone so small, he weighs a ton. It must be all that muscle it takes to be the fighter that he is. It's amazing that he can consume all the junk that he does and still maintain a healthy weight.
Tamaki crouches down in front of me. "Need some help there?"
"If you're offering," I reply.
Mori manages to pry Hunny off of my back, and Tamaki grabs my hand to help me up.
"Where's- uh…" I manage to stop myself from asking where Kyoya is, but it still leaves Tamaki and me in an awkward moment of silence. Tamaki smiles at me.
HE KNOWS.
Speak of the devil, and he doth appear. I notice Kyoya down the walkway toward us.
"I gotta go," I say as I head in the opposite direction. I wouldn't be able to stand the humiliation of seeing him so soon after running out on him. Not to mention the fact that I would make a complete fool of myself.
I manage to loop around the little court yard with the peeing fountain without being spotted by Kyoya. Once I'm back inside the school, I take a moment to breathe a sigh of relief.
