Chapter 13 | Dates and Host Hoppings

--three days later--

~Arabella's POV~

Hey, will you be my date to the Winter Ball? Pretty please? You'd be doing a good deed.

'Sup? You, me, the Winter Ball?

I know we don't know each other that well at all, but I'm a desperate girl who's in need of a date very badly. Will you possibly consider going to the Winter Ball with me? I'll pay you.

These are the three options I'm considering of how I might ask someone to the Winter Ball.

Option one is... alright, I guess... Option two is bold, alright...

However, I'm leaning toward option three... That, or my backup plan: I dig a hole, climb into it, and die alone.

I can't tell which would take away the most of my pride and dignity.

But, literally, who am I supposed to ask??? All the decent dudes are already taken, and all that's left are the perverts.

Excuse me if I'm picky, but I'd like to survive the entire ball without some dude I don't even know try to force himself on me in a manner that's definitely NOT appropriate in school.

So, this naturally makes my options of dates rather limited.

I sighed as I entered Music Room 3.

When I got there, myself and the rest of the Host Club were the only ones here.

We canceled club hours for today so we could plan for the Winter Ball.

Seriously though, what am I supposed to do??? The ball is drawing nearer and I still don't have a date or even the slightest clue of who to even ASK.

"So! Give me an update; who has dates to the Winter Ball???" Tamaki said excitedly.

No one spoke.

"Seriously? None of you have dates??? Come on! You could at least pretend to care...!" Tamaki said.

Hikaru shrugged. "I dunno, boss..."

"... it seems like too much work." Kaoru finished.

Tamaki rolled his eyes. "Sure! I'm sure it is...!" he said sarcastically.

Hikaru suddenly spoke up. "Actually, Kaoru was thinking of asking this one girl he likes."

Kaoru turned red and immediately elbowed Hikaru in the side. But Hikaru hardly noticed.

Wait second... Kaoru likes somebody and was thinking of asking them to the dance...???

... Why does that fact seem to... bother me...?

Tamaki's face lit up. "Really??? That's great, Kaoru! So, who were you thinking of asking???" he asked eagerly.

"Yeah! Who is it you like, Kao-chan???" Honey said.

"Yeah, tell them, Kaoru." Hikaru urged his brother.

Kaoru just gulped nervously and laughed. "Oh...! They don't wanna hear about that...!"

"Yes, we do." Kyoya said.

Kaoru glared at Kyoya. If looks could kill, Kyoya would be dead.

"Come on, Kaoru. Tell us." Haruhi said.
