Just Be Friends

Chapter 2: A Surprising Reunion

Sunlight…

Morning had finally takes its place for a bright sunny morning. It's time for you to go up and go to your new found school which is Ouran Private Academy. Well, don't be too excited since you have to prepare for today's event. In that, you got up and started preparing for your first day of school.

You went to the bathroom and looked at yourself in the mirror; your face was still sleepy and your (Your hair length) (Your hair color) hair was messy like tangled spaghetti. For that to go away, you decided to take a bath in the relaxing cold water from the shower; cold baths always make you feel relax and it always makes you smile whenever you have one. And so, you started putting on (Shampoo scent) scented shampoo on your (Your hair color) hair and washed your body with (Soap scent) scented soap. You turned on the shower and the water started doing its cleaning.

Having a cold bath sure is fun. After all that fun and relaxing moment, you placed a little (Your favorite color) towel for your hair to dry and a big (Your favorite color) one for your whole body. You walked out of the bathroom and went inside your walk-in closet; here, you have lots of outfits to choose from but since it's a school day, you have to look for Ouran's school uniform.

The girl's uniform is a bright yellow color with a white collar and has white cuffs from the end of the sleeve; don't forget about the thin red ribbon tied on the collar. It also needs white knee socks and brown school shoes. You dressed up with this outfit and so after, you went outside your walk-in closet to your dresser. Looking to yourself in the mirror, your (Your hair length) (Your hair color) hair was still a little bit wet but it was really straight and shiny. You took your comb and brushed your hair slowly to make it look very neat.

As you did this, you decided to do your hair into a (Your chosen hairstyle). To be honest, you would always be happy whenever you look very tidy. So after all that is finished, you took your school bag and headed forth the dining room. The dining room looks normal but it's elegant in its own way~ You were greeted by your Father while reading the daily newspaper; then you were greeted by your little twin brothers, Len and Ren. Never knew you would have little siblings no? And look… They're even twins~

You took your seat and waited patiently for today's breakfast; in that, your Mother and personal maid entered the dining room holding everyone's breakfast. They headed towards the dining table and placed one meal in each respective area. Your Mother made you (Your favorite breakfast meal) along with some (Your favorite breakfast drink). Stomach sure is impatient when it comes to sensing food no?

And when that is finished, everyone started eating. It sure is quiet but the silence no longer took over as your Mother started speaking, "Seems like my beloved children would be entering at the same school. I want you three to remember that even though this is the first day of school, I want you all to behave."

"We don't want to hear any reports about you three during first day too!" Your Father added. Parents are really strict with attitude so they taught them discipline. You don't usually get in trouble since you always behave during school days; as for your little brothers, they're definitely the mischievous boys you have met in life.

I forgot to mention that you would be entering the same school but you are staying in the High School community and your little twin brothers would be in Middle School. As that lecture continues, you finished your meal and looked at your watch; it says that it's already 6:40am and your school starts at 7:30am. At that moment, you stood up quickly and interrupted your parents' lecture.

"Mom, Dad… We have to go. Class will start soon…" In that, your little twin brothers finished their meals quickly and took their matching backpacks. When that is done, the three of you went to your parents, bided your farewells and headed outside. The family limo was waiting for you three outside; with it, was the chauffeur who bowed down to the three of you for respect.

"Good morning, Mistress…" he looked at the twins, "Good morning, Young masters." Your chauffeur, Gregory, is a very kind man; he is definitely a good example as a role model. It's nice that your family's workers are very nice no? He opened the door and signaled that you may now go in. You went in and your brothers followed; the cold breeze of the air condition sure did make you shiver.

Sure is relaxing sitting on a comfy seat along with the air conditioners' breeze passing through every part of your body. You never do much in the limo since you're always relaxed and all so, you did a usual routine that you usually do whenever you have time to waste… Daydreaming. You looked out of the window and stared at the moving view; the view sure is calm. On the other hand, your twin brothers are having some talk about school…They sure are excited about it huh?

The ride wasn't too long until the limo headed for a stop in-front of a large fancy gate. Does this mean this gate leads to the so-called Ouran Private Academy? Well, let's end the curiosity and find out about every inch of your new found school. Gregory went out of the limo and headed to the door near the twins; he opened it slowly and signaled the three of you to step out of the vehicle. As you step out of the limo, you suddenly stared at the building behind the large fancy gate; the school looks so beautiful. What even struck you the most is that pink clock tower… it reminds you of London's Big Ben.

Enough with the sight-seeing, what was your main purpose to stay in this school? Oh right, to study and to learn new things. At that point, it is already 6:50am and you only have 40 minutes left until class's starts. You looked back and saw your twin brothers standing, side by side, while Gregory stood there and gave a bow to you three. "It's time for me to take my leave. Mistress, Young masters, I bid you my farewell. I hope you enjoy your first day of classes."

"Thank you, Gregory. We'll see you later afternoon…"

"Of course, Mistress."

In that, Gregory went inside the limo and drove off. That leaves you and your twin brothers; the school sure is big but don't act scared and all… It is your school, right? You looked at your brothers who are looking back at you with a 'what-should-we-do-now' look. A simple smile came across your face; your brothers returned you matching smiles saying that all of you would enjoy this first day of school together. In that, the three of you headed to the world of a new beginning.

Walking by the building, you were taking the lead of going through paths while your brothers followed back behind you. The school sure is big in the inside and the outside… 'This is such a fancy school… I wonder why Mother never told me this kind of schools exist.' You thought trying to think of a way to get use to this school. Roaming around this school sure is confusing… 'I wonder how students in this school get in track with the locations of each area… So, how are we supposed to go to the school office?' This sure is stressful… Just because this is a big fancy school doesn't mean it would be like a certain country where you can get lost very easily; in that, you gave out a sigh of defeat and planned to ask for someone's help at this point.

You looked left and right and saw a lot of students hanging out with each other, chatting and enjoying each one's company. This struck you since it would be hard to get friends since you're a new student; especially your twin brothers… 'I should stop worrying about this and continue what I'm trying to do.' You thought, trying to remove those negative thoughts out of your mind. Walking by this corridor makes you want to say you're all alone along with your brothers but this is just first day so stop worrying about it. Your mind and self were having an argument until you accidentally bumped on someone…

The person's things dropped and you were shocked to do such thing in your first day. You quickly bent down, picked up the person's things and kept on repeating the words 'I'm sorry'. The person in-front of you gave out a slight chuckle and patted your head lightly; this made your face turn a little pink. You looked up and saw a guy, who is taller than you; he has short, black hair styled into a smart/casual look and wears slim, rimless glasses. 'Wow… This guy really looks good looking.' You and the black-haired guy made eye contact; in that, this made your face heat up… 'What am I thinking?! Go back to reality, (Your first name)…'

"I am so, so sorry… My mind is off somewhere and I didn't see someone walking towards my direction; also, I never intended to drop your things. So, I'm-"

"It's okay… It was only an accident so you don't have to feel guilty about it." The guy gave you a sweet smile which made your face a bit red.

"No, I am sorry for what I did. If I were focusing, this commotion shouldn't have happen." You said as you picked up his things.

"No, no. Don't feel guilty about it. It was only by accident and you didn't mean to do it on purpose."

'Wow… This guy sure is nice. He reminds me of Mom and Dad.' You thought as the two of you were still having eye contact. The guy then reached out for his things from you then gave you another sweet smile. He adjusted his glasses and checked if his things were complete; he then looked back at you with that sweet smile stuck in his face. 'Gosh… Why does he keep on giving me those smiles? To be honest, he looks more charming when he smiles…' you paused, 'Wait! What am I thinking?!'

"You know, you shouldn't feel that way. It was only an accident, so no need to feel guilty."

"Ohh... My apologies. Well... I don't want to be rude and all but are you a 2nd year student?"

"Well... Yes I am. Why do you ask?"

"Uhm... I feel like you're older than me so I guess you are one?"

"Oh, is that so? Would that be your only question?"

"Uhmm... My brothers and I are quite lost and we're looking for the office. You see, we're just transferees."

"Ahh... I see, you three are new students. Well, just go to that direction over there and the office would just be right around the corner."

"Oh, thanks. By the way, my name is (Your last name) (Your first name)."

"Nice to meet you, (Your first name). My name is Ootori Kyoya. I hope we see each other once in a while."

"Hihi... Of course we will~ Uhm… Is it okay though to call you 'Kyoya-senpai' since you are a 2nd year and I'm like a 1st year?"

"That would be fine if that's what you want to call me." Wow, that's some conversation. First day and you already made a conversation with a senpai… You sure are one lucky student today. (lol what) Anyways, you bid your farewell to your new-found senpai and headed to the office with your brothers. When you three got to the office, you opened the door to be greeted by a woman from a nearby desk.

The room sure is big in some point. Well, enough about that. You and your brothers entered the room receiving a pleasing smile from the woman by the nearby desk; you told your brothers to sit down for awhile while you made yourself go near the desk to talk to the lovely woman. The lovely woman gave out another pleasing smile, greeting you with such expression.

"You must be the new transferees from the (Your last name) family."

"Yes, we are. We are really pleased to attend this school."

"Hihi… Well, by now, you and your brothers would be separating. Viola~" the woman looked back to see a younger looking woman. She has blonde hair that's put up in braids and green eyes. The young lady then gave a cheery smile and approached the lovely woman; at that point, when that blonde-haired lady approached the four of you, the young lady then bowed to show utter respect.

"Good morning. My name is Viola… Nice to meet you all. At this state, you, Ms. (Your last name), would be departing for now. Your little brothers would be coming with me to go to their classroom."

"Oh, sure. Would they need anything to get in the office?" You looked at the lovely lady who was still smiling cheerfully in the background, "Do transferees need any requirements to accomplish?"

"There are no requirements needed. You just have to come to school, go to the office and tell us that you are transferees." The woman said, giving out a pleasing smile. You simply nodded and looked at your brothers, they seem to have nervousness on their faces. You came closer and gave them a light pat on their heads; making the twins looked up in a questioning look.

"You two shouldn't worry about what people think about you being new or whatsoever… As long as the two of you have fun today. Leave all your worries behind and keep that cheerful smile on your faces~"You said, giving them the most cheerful smile you have ever done. Your brothers were shocked from your sudden statements; they hesitated to smile but still smiled happily in the end.

After all the problems are solved, it's time to part ways. You gave your brothers a hug of good luck and parted your ways. Just by doing this made you want to stay with your brothers, it feels like you'll never see them ever again; neither will they to you. Lots of negative thoughts came out your mind, its giving you a headache… Walking by the corridors, thinking about negative thoughts is making your confidence for this school disappear. Since you're so concentrated over thinking about these thoughts, you didn't realize a person running towards your direction. 'Sigh… I have no luck for this school…'

"*pant* *pant* I need to hurry up… The bell will ring in a few minutes!"

You two were getting closer and closer… Geez, (Your First Name)… Get a hold of yourself and concentrate in watching where you're going. Few more inches… Hey, (Your First Name)! Go back to reality already! Centimeters more… Don't say I didn't warn you… And BOOM! You and the running person hit each other. Pain of course, started to build up in some parts of your body, which made you slightly weak. 'Oww… I'm getting too much encounters today,' you thought as you were trying to make the pained areas healed. As you continued to do so, the person that you hit, started to worry about your situation.

"Ahh… I'm so sorry. I was really in a hurry and I didn't seem to look at where I was going. Classes would start in a few minutes and I'm really sorry that I had trouble you…" "Oh no, it's really fine. I was just looking for my classroom and I can't seem to find it…" You replied, trying your best to answer since the pain in your body started to hurt a lot not like few minutes ago.

The young man right in-front of you had short auburn hair, which his bangs are parting to the left and has topaz eyes; this made you think that you have seen him before... But before anything else, school is starting and you need help to go to your classroom. Without hesitation, you asked help from the auburn-haired lad, "Uhmm… Do you know where the room of class 1-A is..?"

"Class 1-A? Oh, you're in my class! You must have had a hard time thinking where it is."

"Well… Yes, I did…"

"You must be a transferee then?"

"Uhmm… yes. Do you think we should head to class now? You told me that classes will start in a few minutes…"

"Ahh.. Right! I almost forgot. We should get going then!" As he said those words, he grabs your hand and runs straight to the path leading to your classroom. Your face turned light red towards the action he has done. Throughout this day, sudden encounters started to come out as you stepped in Ouran Private Academy; as much as you want to know why this is happening to you, you shrugged all of those thoughts and thought of thinking about them when you get home. Falling deep in your thoughts, the guy who just helped you started snapping you out from your deep of thought.

"Hey! Our classroom is right over here," he paused for a second and then continued, "Uhm.. Hey? Did something seem to bother you?" You looked at him as you see concern in his face. 'Wow… He's such a good lucking guy. Just looking at him up close sure makes me want to stay like this all the time…' Silence… 'Wh-what?! What are you saying (Your first name)? You shouldn't be acting like this in-front of a guy…' This made you blush slightly.

"Ohh, are you sick? You look flustered…" His face moved forward, closer to your face; this made you blush even more.

"N-no… I-I'm not sick. P-please don't worry about it…"

"Well, if that's the case, I'll go inside the classroom. I'm looking forward to know who you are~" And to that, he went inside the classroom. This made you go back in thinking what happened earlier during your encounter with the auburn-haired man. Questions started to come out of your mind… 'I'm not really sure about this… but for some reason I've met that guy before… or probably it's just my imagination? I've probably mistaken him for someone else I guess… But I still think that we've met before,' you sighed. You weren't really sure of what you were thinking so you just tried not to think about it too much.

As you ended that endless argument with yourself, the teacher, who is your homeroom teacher, approached you as she sees you standing near your classroom; she gave you a very warm smile as you made eye contact with her. "You must be Ms. (Your last name) perhaps?"

"Ah… yes I am. You must be our homeroom teacher Ms…?"

"Yamada. Ms. Yamada."

"Good morning, Ms. Yamada. I'm pleased to be a student of yours."

"You're very welcomed in this school, Ms. (Your last name). I hope you have a great time during your first day."

"Thank you, Ms. Yamada." You smiled at how your teacher told you to have a good day. 'I know I have had a lot of weird encounters by now, but I really look forward in studying in this school! This is my chance to make new friends… Yes… friends…'

'Ever since I was young, I never had friends… Yes, I'm part of a wealthy family but that doesn't mean I'm THAT happy in my life. We go to wealthy gatherings as the wealthy family can attend and of course we socialize with the same class, but in my case, I did meet some kids among my age ever since then, yet we don't call each other "friends"… more like strangers… Either way, I was alone.'

'I grew up experiencing the life trapped in our house; I was like a princess who can never know about the outside world. My so called "friends" are strangers… The only friends I can consider are the stuffed animals I have in my room. We always play together and enjoy each other's company… People may call me crazy but that's how a child is… They have imaginary friends, existing or non-existing…'

'Until I met those twins…..'

'When I first met those twins, I wanted to become friends with them. I wanted to experience to have friends at least… Remembering that instead of sitting on an unoccupied bench that day, I wanted to sit with them as much as I feel the feeling with friends… But that day was also the worst encounter… They pushed me away as if I don't belong with them… See? Experiencing such a life living like an anti-social person is the worst thing I experienced in my life… I don't want to be an idiot and talk to my "imaginary friends" because people may think I'm crazy. My childhood is definitely one of the events I hated in my life…'

'One day, I promised myself that as soon as I hit adolescence, I would try to make friends as possible. I don't want to live a life being an anti-social person… I want to experience a life with a friend who's always there for you; I want to experience how it is to truly consider having a special person in my life who isn't related to me.'

'Well honestly, the twins I met that time, I considered them as friends. Even though they may be harsh from our first encounters but it made me happy that I got to talk to other people. They told me I should stay away from them right? Yes, I was afraid of them at first… but even if I stay away from them, there's a higher chance that they'll forget about me… I was just a ghost to them. But even so, I remembered them until then…'

'It was still one of my first painful encounters with someone from the outside world. So at the same time, I wanted and didn't want to meet those twins again…'

As you are thinking too much about your sad past, Ms. Yamada snapped you out of your thoughts and made you go back to reality again.

"Ms. (Your last name), is something bothering you? You've been spacing out for a minute now."

"Ah! I'm sorry Ms. Yamada… It's just that I was thinking about my past when I was younger…"

"Oh? Did something happen in your past, dear? You can tell me anything…"

"Well, I won't hide it from you, Ms. Yamada. To be honest, ever since I was younger, I never had friends… To think that I was alone every day in my past… I never did know a thing of the outside world. If you're wondering how I attended school, I experienced being homeschooled… Pretty much, even as a daughter of a wealthy family, I still think my life is incomplete…"

"That's a very sad past, dear… I'm sure studying in such a school is one of the dreams that you wanted to experience."

"Yes, Ms. Yamada. I made this silly promise that one day that if I reached this stage, I would try my best and have friends for once. But before I even made that promise to myself, my Mom gave birth to my twin brothers, who are studying in this same school as a Middle School student."

"My my, well… I'm sure living as an only child before changed to have adorable little brothers, am I right? It made you change that finally, you aren't alone anymore."

"Mhm~ I considered them as my best friends ever since they were born."

"What a caring big sister you are, Ms. (Your last name). But you are still pursuing your goal to get some friends during your high school life?"

"Of course, Ms. Yamada. I want to experience the feeling of having friends… Not all people in the world can have friends so here I am, trying my best for this stage of mine to make new ones~"

"Well then, Ms. (Your last name). How about I introduce you to the class now? I'm sure there would be someone in my class that would want to be friends with you."

"Ah, yes. I feel a bit nervous… but I know I can be confident enough to be present in-front of everyone!"

"That's the spirit, Ms. (Your last name)!" she opens the door and stops to face at you again, "Anyways, Ms. (Your last name), please wait for me to call for you." You nodded then Ms. Yamada closed the door.

You take a deep breath and exhaled quite slowly.

'I'll be meeting my classmates. Seeing new faces whether they like me or not. Well… it doesn't matter… Actually, IT DOES MATTER! I'm sure deep down I won't get that much friends but I shouldn't be down like this. I have to be confident! I can do this! I promised to make friends so, think about what's good, (Your first name)… You'll never know what's ahead of you.'

~In the classroom (before Ms. Yamada enters)~

I finally entered the classroom; everyone seems to have some good chit-chat. God… It was a good thing I made it before Ms. Yamada got here. Also, that new girl from before; the transferee is our new classmate. I'm actually excited to get to know her. She seems oddly familiar but I don't quite remember… Oh well, I'll just talk about this with Hikaru.

"Kaoru, where have you been?"

"Ah, Hikaru! Some girls were just talking to me about some things. They were even looking for you, you know."

"Well, you can't do anything about that. They just can't handle our brotherly love~"

"Anyways, I bumped onto someone new."

"Someone new? A new student perhaps?"

"Oh yeah, she is. I accidentally bumped her. I guess I was too caught up about classes starting soon. Haha…"

"She? The transferee is a girl I see… That seems interesting."

"What I didn't know is that she's actually in our class. She's probably outside waiting for Ms. Yamada."

"Well, that's even more interesting~ Did you get her name though?"

"No. I actually want to know, but I think it's better if we both know at the same time."

"Aww… Kaoru's such a caring brother~" Hikaru patted my head. Actually, I really intended to have Hikaru and I to know the transferee together. Well, even though I met her earlier, I really want it to be equal for both of us because, as twins, they do most of the things together at the same time.

"But you know, Hikaru… The transferee is oddly fa-" I didn't get to continue my sentence for Ms. Yamada came in with a bright smile on her face. She'd probably introduce the new student.

As everyone focuses on Ms. Yamada, she told us about how great the day is today; classes started a few days ago but ever since then, Ms. Yamada has been very open in our class. She's like a motherly figure to everyone, which most of our classmates are so close to her as well. But at that point on, she mentioned about the transferee, everyone seems to be happy about the news. I'd actually think that no one would care about her, but I guess these are rare opportunities that you won't see when a new student attends this school.

"So class, do you want to meet your new classmate?"

A set of positive answers were answered. I guess they're that excited, huh?

"I'll call for her now then." As Ms. Yamada says this, she heads for the door. Everyone in class was whispering in excitement.

"Oh my, she's a girl!"

"I hope she looks pretty!"

"Hope to be friends with her~"

"I wonder what she looks like…"

Okay, this is definitely rare. Everyone was so focused on how she looks like and what kind of person she is… they're all so noisy that I heard Ms. Yamada saying her last name.

(Your last name).

That name… That name is really familiar to me but I can't remember… Who was she? Who is this (Your last name)? I don't recall meeting her before… or maybe I just don't remember? Or maybe I'm just imagining things… There's no way Hikaru and I met a girl named (Your last name).

"Ms. (Your last name), please introduce yourself."

"Hello. My name is (Your last name) (Your first name). Pleased to meet you. I hope we all get along."

After her introduction, she gave everyone a very happy smile. Everyone seems to be quiet, in a good way or maybe a bad one? I looked at some of our classmates and they seem to be controlling their happiness. 'Seems like everyone likes her… I guess she won't have a hard time making friends.'

I looked over at Hikaru and he seemed to be smirking, while looking at her. He turned to face to me and his smirk grew even wider, "Hey Kaoru, she seems interesting, don't you think?"

"Hm… I guess so."

"Let's talk to her later, after class. I'm sure she'd love to meet us."

"Sure. How about we invite her to the Host Club? I'm sure she'd enjoy herself."

"Great idea. She'll be an interesting toy~"

And at that point, us twins, found an interesting toy to play with.

~After the introduction; Period: Break~

After your introduction during homeroom period, some girls and guys were gathering all to you. They seemed to like you so much! Your whole-hearted promise of wanting to make some friends in your adolescence period made you tell yourself how happy you were that even though you never had such a good childhood, you are sure that your present state would change all your feelings towards people. Everyone gathered, and asked you a lot of questions, which you never had experience before!

Happiness was now present in you. You really can't imagine this is all happening! Like all of these seems dreamlike to you.

'I'm so happy! I can't believe this is truly happening. God, thank you so much for guiding me all to this. You must have answered my prayers when I used to be so young… to get to know more people. I'm really happy! I really feel like all of this isn't real. But whatever… I don't know what to feel anymore… I'm so…'

"Wahhh! (Your last name)-san, you're crying."

'Huh? Crying? What does she mean?'

"(Your last name)-san, did we do something wrong? If we did, we're sorry!"

'But you guys didn't do anything!' At that point, your tears went down until they hit your hand. Indeed you were crying. But this isn't tears of sadness… but tears of joy.

"A-ahh! N-no it's not like that! You guys didn't do anything wrong," you said as you wiped your tears, "I'm just happy that I finally made some friends…"

You can't help but cry about it. You were just new to this but you can't help but cry. Everyone around you seemed to understand what's happening, so they gave you pat, a hug, or some words of comfort.

"There, there, (Your last name)-san. We'd gladly be your friends! Right, everyone?"

Everyone nodded in agreement. I guess, your classmates aren't just your friends, but now you can consider them as your second family. You can't help but smile in delight.

"We'd gladly be your friends too, (Your first name)-chan~" says a voice with a mischievous tone.

Everyone looked at where the voices came from and there stood twins, who both have auburn hair and topaz eyes; as you inspect the twins, you saw that one person who helped you find your classroom, the boy whose bangs are parting towards the left. You stood up and headed near the twins, specifically to the one on the left. You gave him a warm smile and said, "Thank you for helping me look for my classroom," bowing at the end.

"You're very welcome, (Your first name)-chan. Speaking of which, we haven't introduced ourselves," he turned to his brother and both smiled in amusement. There back was facing each other and both interlocked their arms together; and there on, introduced themselves as…

"I'm Hikaru," the one on the right says.

"I'm Kaoru," the one on the left says.

"And we are the Hitachiin Twins~" they both ended. At that moment, you were so frozen in place. Your eyes widened in shock and in disbelief. 'These two are actually the twins I met in the past?!' you thought as you tried your best to hide your feelings towards them. It was very unbelievable for you to actually reunite with these twins especially that they weren't the lifeless and cruel twins back then… they changed… A LOT! It took a while for them to realize that you've spaced out but before they could even ask you, you answered right away, "A-ahh. I-it's very nice to meet you two. I-i really hope we get along this year~"

You actually didn't want to answer but it would be rude if you didn't answer them. After a few moments, they smiled at you and both said, "(Your first name)-chan, is it okay if you visit Music Room #3 at the end of school?"

At first you hesitated, but you didn't want to reject their invite since it's the first day of school. So you nodded slowly, which left the twins smile happily.

"Anyways, see you late, (Your first name)-chan~" says Hikaru.

"If you don't know where the room is, we'd gladly accompany you there~" says Kaoru. You hesitantly nodded and they were off, waving you a hand of farewell.

'I can't believe this… I actually met the Hitachiin twins again… I never thought I'd never see them again... and to my surprise, they're my classmates! But then again… They hate me… But just now, they were so nice… What did I just witness in the first place…? They don't seem to recognize me either… so they actually forgot about me…? Ughh…You know what, whatever… I'll just find out soon enough…'

You looked at the door where they exited; you take a deep breath, exhaled silently, then closed your eyes slowly…

'Hikaru… Kaoru… Nice to see you two again… Do you remember anything about our past? Because I want both of you to know that… I want to be your friend… again…'

AN: OMG yay a finished chapter! ; v ;Hello everyone~ Author-chan here! I'd just want to thank everyone who has read this story and for those who have liked and reviewed in Just Be Friends (and I appreciate the comments of update more and how you guys love it, also thank you for following me as well!). If everyone's wondering why this story has been updating that much… I'm so sorry (also in advanced) about it ; - ; I'll explain why. I had made 9 chapters after the first one, but then as I finished all those 9 chapters, there was this virus that popped out of nowhere, so I had to remove it as soon as possible. Apparently, after I fix my computer and removed the virus, those 9 chapters that I was to upload in , but when I checked my files, they got corrupted! ; A ; So, as much as I want to upload the next chapters, I have to remember what I wrote in it. I'm so sorry everyone ; - ; As of now, I'm trying my best to finish all the corrupted chapters so I can upload them at the same time, but since everyone wants more updates, I should at least update it (especially to those who read this – I'm so sorry for abandoning you guys for 2 years now ; A ; ). So anyways, I won't abandon this story anymore, I promise! I want everyone to be happy that they enjoy my story and they'd love to it some more till the very end. Thank you guys for all the likes you've given to my story and I hope to see you guys till the very last part of this story~

And for those wondering about how the flow of the story goes, I'm basing this on how Haruhi began attending Ouran (based on the anime) but we'll be focusing more on Reader since you guys love it ~ o

Any who, I'll warn you guys if I write sad stuff in this story (trust me, there'd be a lot, especially the when this story ends) and also, there'd be a lot of jealousy too! So, you guys can throw me all your sadness and beg for some happy moments… haha! Once again, thank you for supporting me and my story and I will assure you guys that you'd enjoy it!

P.S. If Just Be Friends is a successful story, I can possibly make a seque Anyways, thanks again! Love you guys~ -chibichoco
