I'm Not a Girl!

Chapter 8: The Day Haruhi Got Sick!

Daniel felt better once he dealt with his secret admirer, he was surprised it had turned out to be Aaron, but now he was just relieved it was over. Not that he didn't like the gifts, it just was a bit much and too... Extra for his liking.

Today seemed to be a day full of surprises though. Once Daniel entered class when school started everyone's mood was off. Usually, everyone was so full of happy and excitable energy from what he has seen. Even Renge wasn't being her loud, expressive self.

"Why is everyone so upset?" He couldn't help but ask everyone.

"Don't you realize Haruhi is not here? He got sick, how awful!" One of the girls in his class said making Daniel notice Haruhi's place was empty.

"I hope he gets better, school's not the same without Haruhi around!" Another girl sobbed.

"Hey, it's just a cold, right? I'm sure he'll be back tomorrow." Daniel tried reassuring everyone affected by Haruhi's absence.

"Yeah, besides, we have you, Danielle~" The twins grinned standing on either side of him.

"Eh?" Daniel questioned the twins.

"What? You provide just as much entertainment as Haruhi does for us, maybe even more." They replied making Daniel get a bit irritated by their behavior.

"I'm not entertaining you two just because Haruhi's gone!" Daniel told them, heading to his seat. Not soon after the twins followed, sitting on either side of him as they did with Haruhi when she was here.

"Awe, come on, we're bored." The twins told him as they sat down.

"I don't care, you can entertain yourselves." Daniel tsked.

"Fine, though we have been thinking about what to do with you once we win the contest." They grinned.

"Oh, yeah, what?" Daniel asked, obviously pretending to care.

"Well, we've picked out an outfit for you to wear." The twins told him, making Daniel tense.

"As if I'm going to wear anything you pick out for me, besides there's barely a chance you guys would win the contest," Daniel replied.

"What about we add it to our bet? If we win you have to wear whatever we pick for you." They suggested causing Daniel to scoff.

"You guys sure are cocky, fine. Let's see, if you two do win." Daniel accepted causing the twin's smirk in victory. Now they just had to wait until next week for them to declare themselves the winners.

~During Club Hours~

"Oh, my poor, darling daughter! Sick at home while I'm stuck here, not being able to take care of her!" Tamaki sobbed once news of Haruhi being sick got to him. Daniel could only sweat-drop at the blonde's dramatic behavior. He's acting like she has the plague or something.

"Come on, Boss, Haruhi will be back tomorrow, it's just a cold." The twins tried comforting their overdramatic leader.

"Besides, you have more things to worry about once we win that contest." The twins smirked causing the blonde to pause.

"As if you two will win, I won't allow it! If anyone's going to win that contest, it's going to be moi!" Tamaki declared, his attitude quickly switching like always.

Daniel could only sigh as he rubbed his temple as the three argued about who was going to win the contest. "I don't want any of them to win." He muttered to himself as he took a sip of tea he was having. He let out a shiver at the taste, he wasn't a tea person, sugar would probably help make it taste better.
