"But.. Haruhi! Let's be reasonable, wouldn't you want your father to-"

"You're not my father Senpai, so would you please stop saying you are?" Haruhi turned the page of her book. She would be enjoying this story if it weren't for Tamaki being a child in the background.

"Haruhi, don't be so cold!" Tamaki put his chin on the table at which Haruhi sat." Just let your pops go to your house after schoool~."

Haruhi closed her book and sighed. She really didn't want Tamaki tagging along to her house again. The first time was enough, and that was when the whole gang came." No way in hell. I'm not going straight home anyways. I'm going to the really boring public library for a bit before going home- you wouldn't fit in there okay?" Really though, Haruhi loved that library and she felt bad trashing it like that. But it was a nice and quiet place with no spoiled rich people around and she wanted to keep it that way.

"Oh, but that's the perfect learning opportunity for me! The life of a commoner- it's so interesting!" He was practically squealing with delight that he might be able to spy on commoners, but for Haruhi, that was enough. Gathering her things, she trudged out the Host club room just as the last bell of the day rang throughout the elite school.

As soon as she was off the school grounds, she was practically skipping instead of walking. She couldn't wait to get to her beloved library- she'd been going there since she was only 6. Haruhi always used to go there with her mother, and they would have such a good time… ah! But now wasn't the time for reminiscing! She would have to hurry to get her book back in on time. With this in mind, Haruhi broke out into a run and found herself at the little brown building she loved in no time at all.

Haruhi threw open the door and flew inside straight to the main desk. Slamming the book down on the counter she let out a huge gasp/sigh-of-relief. The old man behind the counter, (He was wearing rainbow suspenders might I add.) looked a bit shocked. After entering the book's information into his computer, he glanced up at Haruhi and gave a slight chuckle.

"I am going to assume you ran all the way here because you thought the book was due today?" He asked in a raspy voice.

"You… mean… it's…not?" She asked in between her gasps for air. She really wasn't in the best of shape.

As a reply the old man chuckled and walked away. Haruhi sighed, but at least she got the book in on time, right? That's all that mattered. Besides, now she could go read some other books. She preferred the ones on history, like the French revolution books.

Grabbing a nice thick book, she took a seat at a small round table and began reading. Her eyes darted across the page, wanting to take in as much information as they would allow, but before she knew it, Haruhi was drifting off to sleep….

"But mommy, I don't like any of the books here! They're all so boring and they make you learn stuff!"

She was awoken by the shouting's of a young boy. Lazily, Haruhi opened one eye, then the next.

"Dear, I promise you there is at least one book you'd love here!"

"Not uh!" The little boy pouted.

Haruhi wouldn't normally intervene, but somebody was insulting her books, so she had to do something. She grabbed a familiar book from the kid's section. Yawning, she walked over to where the little boy stood still pouting at his mother.

"Excuse me?" Haruhi leaned forward," I heard somebody doesn't like the books here?"

The small child gasped and hid behind his mother, who only rolled her eyes. He pointed at Haruhi and said in a shaky voice," Are you gonna hit me for sayin' that about the books, mister?"

Haruhi let out some soft laughter. She put her hand on his head and ruffled his black hair. "No no, I just thought I'd let you borrow my most favourite book in the entire library!" She held out the book to him," You see? I used to read this book with my mom all the time, but I can't do that anymore, so I really want you to read it with your mom, okay?"

The boy took the book from Haruhi and gazed at it like it was a new toy. He smiled gleefully up at Haruhi and gave a prompt, "Okay!" Turning to his mother, he asked in a somewhat shy voice," Mommy… will you read this with me?"

"Of course I will dear." The woman answered in a thankful tone. Taking the boy's hand, she led her son over to a small, child's table to read their new book together.

I'm glad I did something, that could've turned out really bad, Haruhi thought this to herself. She glanced up at a clock- 7:30pm already? How long was she asleep for? She would have to get home really quick or else her father… oh geez. She took her bag and dashed out the door in the same manner she had entered.

A/N: Gah! My first Ouran fanfic :O. This will probably only go up to 3 chapters at most. And… I'll probably update this fast since it'll be relatively short. Anyways, thanks for reading and keep an eye out for the next chapter which should be out on Sunday…

Side Note: When Haruhi was saying she used to read with her mom and that she couldn't anymore… well that was my pitiful attempt at trying to hit ya in the feels! I hope it worked ;3. But… while I was writing this, I found myself looking forward to the next chapter waaay more than I should be. So, I can't wait to see your reactions! Ty for reading~

Please leave a brief comment in the description, it'd really help me out! It actually doesn't have to be brief… but yeah.
