A/N: Thanks to everyone who reviewed, favourited or followed, you guys are truly awesome =w= Now just to let anyone know I plan on only updating this story once every week, okay? I might do it more, but I don't want to say I will and then not do it, so once a week, every Friday. Just so everyone knows I don't own OHSHC and all rights got to Bisco Hatori, that is all.


"Hi, I'm your partner!" I turned round, it was the twins friend. Haru... Haruki, no that's not right. Well it was something like that. From what I had heard he was an honour student, that meant he had to have good grades. That means I can't let him down. This why I prefer working on my own. I can't fail this especially now his place in school depends on this. I hate this amount of pressure, it's to much for me.

"No fair," wailed one of the twins who were now standing at the back too. I really didn't like this, no offence to them but none of them knew the meaning of personal space. I was felling extremely claustrophobic.

"We wanted to work with Haruhi!" The other twin appeared crowding my space even more. Haruhi, oh yes, that was his name. I looked up at them wondering why they didn't leave. He had told me we were partners, there wasn't anything else he needed to tell me, was there?

"You're...?" The twins stared at me. I don't know why I assumed they would they would know my name. Maybe it's the fact that I've been in the same class as them for most of my life. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised, I'm not that memorable.

I stared at them, they were waiting for a reply. I guess they really didn't know who I was. Well it should be interesting to let them figure it out. It shouldn't take them to long, hopefully. If not they'd have to ask someone else.

"This is Izumi Sakura." Haruhi introduced me leaving me shocked. Not many people knew my name. I was usually referred to as the ghost of our class. I was fine with it though, I've found that if you don't expect anything, life can't get you down. Good advice, right? Pessimistic, but then again I don't think life's all that happy, so why pretend?

"Sakura?" One of the twins leaned forward right in my face, much to my annoyance. Now I'm not extremely bothered about personal space but this was to close, even for me. I pushed him back, putting my hand on his face. I think I heard him say "ow" but it's his fault. He should learn the meaning of personal space.

"Are you sure?" The other twin asked, he was leaning in examining me too. Seriously, it's not like any one would want to pretend to be a high school student! I am Izumi Sakura. There's no sane person who'd want to be me.

"Yes, I'm sure." Haruhi looked at them, rolling his eyes. I get the faint feeling that he agrees with me.

"I thought we had an Izumi Sakura in the same class as us ages ago," muttered one twin turning to face the other slightly confused.

"Yeah, I thought we did too," replied the other twin who was sounded confused too. It was like they were mirror doubles or something. Everything they did was the same. There had to be one difference, right?

"But she was louder and not as..." The twins looked over to me as if trying to find a word to describe me. I scowled, I had heard Hikaru and Karou were horrible, but were they seriously this judgemental? I suppose this is one of the reasons why I wouldn't talk to them. I hate judgemental people.

"...Dull." Okay, I really don't like these twins.

"Don't be mean," Haruhi nudged them both in the ribs. Now him, I don't mind. Maybe doing this project won't be so bad. "So, when should we start?" Haruhi turned to face me now. He was looking me straight n the eyes. I hate it when people do that, it's so unnerving. It makes me lose the little bit of self confidence I have.

There was quite a long awkward pause as they waited for me to reply. I didn't though, I just sat there. I guess they didn't realise. Silly really, I thought some people would have noticed, oh well. It's not like I care. Seriously, I don't. ...Maybe a little bit, but only a little but, not much at all!

"Uh," Haruhi turned to the twins nervously, he was obviously finding this awkward. He could always leave though, so it wasn't like it was my fault. Though in a way I suppose it could be.

"Why don't you do it at the Host Club?" The twins offered. If I hadn't heard some of the rumours

about the things they did there at the Host club, I would have assumed it was a perfectly innocent offer. But I had. So I knew what the Host club was. It seemed pretty stupid to me to be honest. Apparently, all they did was flirt with girls, that's it! I really don't see the point. Plus, from what I heard the Vice-President, Ootori Kyoya, charged girls a fortune to talk to the 'Hosts'. I might be a bit biased about Host clubs though, another Host Club had after all split my parents apart.

"You won't let me work in peace though," Haruhi rolled his eyes sarcastically at the twins, before turning back to face me. "But it would be easier." He gave a deep sigh, he obviously didn't want to have to work in the Host club but he seemed almost resigned to the idea. It was odd in a way, he did realise he didn't actually have to listen to the twins, right? "Is that okay with you, Izumis-san?" He looked me dead in the eyes. The first thing I noticed was he very big eyes, if I hadn't known he was a boy, he could have quite easily have passed for a girl. Though I should probably say masculine girl, I don't want to be to harsh.

I nodded in response, it would be easier for me to do it in school too. If I went home I would have to listen to Maizuki lecture me about bringing a boy home, she'd take it the wrong way and I would never hear the end of it. Then there would be Chiharu telling me I should be flirting with him, when I didn't she would assume I didn't so she would start flirting. Not that I like Haruhi or anything. But I don't think anyone deserves to have my sister attempting to flirt with them. It's a punishment worse than hell in my opinion, and extremely embarrassing. Of course, Ichiro would be dishing out sarcastic comments, all horrible and hurtful. Yes, it would be much easier to just get this project done in school.

"Yay~!" The twins wrapped their arms around Haruhi happily as the one on the right smiled happily.

"We get to spend more time with Haruhi~!" The one on the left smiled nuzzling even closer to

Haruhi. It was cute, how close they all were. Though I think some fan-girls took their friendly hug the wrong way, as I'm sure I saw one of them faint and another with a heavy stream of blood flowing down her face. It was almost weird how the girls were reacting. I'd only just noticed it to be honest, but a lot of them were glaring at me angrily. I know I'm not nice to them all, mainly because I don't talk to them, but they shouldn't hate me, should they? I don't like them looking at me. I'm used to be ignored, for them to just ignore me completely. So, all this staring is weird, creepy in a way. They can hate me all they want just don't look at me, at all.

"So, see you later then?" I looked up, only just then realising that while I had been in deep thought Haruhi had been talking to me. He'd probably just been saying to meet him at the end of the day in where ever the Host club took place. I didn't want him to think I was rude because I hadn't been listening, so I just nodded my head. It wouldn't be that hard to find out where the Host club was, would it? Of course not, Chiharu went all the time, I could just ask her, she's bound to know. After all the stories I had suffered though about her visits there, she had better know.

"Bye then," Haruhi smiled genuinely at me. It almost seemed like he was happy to be working with me, but there was no way that was true, at all. No on would work with me if they didn't have too.

"Bye!" The twins grinned a smile that reminded me very much of the Cheshire cat from Alice in Wonderland. It was scary how mischievousness that one smile could hold. They dragged Haruhi off with them, he just rolled his eyes though, as if used to the madness that the twins seemed to take with them everywhere they went.

I sighed as I sat there by myself again. It was better now they were gone. No more evil stares or loud noises but I felt lonely. That's strange. It had been quite a while since anyone but Nekzoawa or Reiko had talked to me. It was nice in a way. I think I'll just stay on my own though, it's safer that way. After all, you can never really trust people.
