Infinite Shards [OHSHC] (ON HOLD)

Chapter 26 : I Hate The Rain

Dedicated to @SophaXD for the support you have given to this story ^^ (if you haven't received a notification, I haven't opened the website via my laptop then)

I have to inform you guys, I actually skipped the Newspaper Club Arc. Mainly because I never really liked the chapter/episode. Plus there's nothing really important happening there aside from Haruhi learning of Tamaki's connection to the chairman of the school xD

Anyway, what was your reaction to the previous chapter? Was it good? Was it bad? Did it need more work? Was it too serious?

I didn't really know what I wrote then, all the humor was lost and even the few jokes were lame... Sorry! I'm not really good at cracking jokes >__< Also, I've decided that Hikaru would find out differently from Kaoru about Ielle's secret ^^ I already know when Kaoru would find out but I'm still thinking of Hikaru's.

Oh by the way, this story won't end when they find out about her secret. The plot goes much deeper fufufu~ Look forward to it, okay? ^___^

On to the story!

P.S. I know that's not a bonnet but that's what I'm picturing Erei to look like in this chapter xD

I DON'T OWN OHSHC! (I'm feeling lazy to do all the knicknacks so let's just continue on)

Ielle's POV

I stayed in a corner with my head lowered onto my knees. Kyrie was beside me, trying to comfort me. Haruhi was on my other side, telling me it was okay.

The hosts were also trying to think of ways to cheer me up. The twins were reaching their hands out to touch my face but I kept my head lowered to stop them. Honey-senpai and Mori-senpai were shaking some stuffies in front of me and Tamaki-senpai was offering me his Kuma-chan pen. Only Kyoya-senpai sat on a nearby chair, sipping some tea. I could hear him sigh every once in a while when he gazes towards us.

I wasn't crying or anything. I just refused to raise my head that they think I am. But I am depressed.

Want to know what happened that lead to this?

FLASHBACK ~ A Few Hours Ago

I entered the school with a neutral expression but inside I felt a bit frustrated. Kyrie was beside me with an awkward smile. I passed by gawking students who looked at me with disbelieving eyes. I tugged on my scarf.

Outside, the rain fell heavily on the pavement. I was wearing a large coat and a scarf and a pair of thick gloves. But that wasn't what the students were gazing at. I had on a large bonnet that covered my whole head. My short hair was let down so the ends poked out from beneath the bonnet.

Kyrie was holding onto her handkerchief as she pats my clothing with it. Even though we had an umbrella, I still got wet slightly when I stepped out of the limo this morning. I held her hand and silently told her to stop and she obliged.

We soon reached our room and Kyrie slid the door open. All heads turn to us but I ignored them and went straight towards my seat. Haruhi and the twins were still not around.

"Erei-kun, please remove your coat and bonnet", Kyrie requested softly. I took my coat off but kept my bonnet. She sighed and placed a hand on her hip. "Erei-kun" I flinched a bit at her stern voice as I shook my head. I lowered my head.

"My hair's a mess...", I muttered, low enough for her to hear. She shook her head and suddenly yanked my bonnet away. I didn't have time to react and just covered my head with my scarf instead.

"Erei-kun, come on", she urged. I sighed and nodded solemnly. I slowly lowered my scarf just as the twins and Haruhi came in.

BOIING!
