Chapter 4: Close Call

"My reasoning?" I asked Hikaru. What now?

"My brother and I like to play a game with people called 'Which of us is Hikaru?'" he began to explain, then his brother jumped in.

"No one can usually get it right, so we like to know what they are looking at to figure us out."

"Ooook…" I stared at the twins for a moment. "Well, Hikaru, your eyes are greener than Haoru, his have more of a grey tint to them…"

The twins looked slightly stunned.

"Hikaru…I thought that was a secret only we would know…" Haoru leaned in towards his brother and they touched foreheads.

"It's ok Haoru, there is finally someone who appreciates your beautiful eyes just like I do!" Hikaru smiled at his brother then turned to me. "Come on!" The twins looped their arms through mine and began marching me down the hallway.

"W-where are we going?" I asked.

"We aren't just going to leave you to walk out of here by yourself!" Haoru said.

"Yeah, we will walk with you until we have to go our separate ways," Hikaru chimed in.

"Oh, well thanks guys."

"No problem! We are going to be seeing a lot of each other it seems, since you are going to be the new Honey!" Hikaru beamed.

They chattered mindlessly the rest of the way out of the school building until we reached the gate. This was where we would go our separate ways. The rich people lived down the road to the right, and my tent was to the left. Turning to the twins, I thanked them for walking with me.

"No trouble! See you tomorrow!" We all turned and began to walk away from the school, but suddenly, we realized we were all walking the same way!

"Uhh…where are you guys going? I thought you would live the other way?"

"We thought you would live the other way!" Haoru said.

"We used to live that way," Hikaru explained. "But we are living with our cousin in his home in the woods now."

"…Oh…I uh…I have a home, out there too…" I told them. Great…they are going to figure out I am here on scholarship…I just hope they don't figure out about the tent.

"So you have a nice vacation home out here too?" Haoru exclaimed.

"Whaaa? Oh, yeah, vacation home…" Wow…rich people can be so clueless…I guess though, that this could be to my advantage.

"Cool! We can walk even farther together," Hikaru grinned.

"Ha yeaaaah…"This could end badly…but vacation home was a good cover story…
