Fake Smiles

"Huh?" I said. I suddenly realized that I was in Music Room #3. I was wearing a light blue colored dress, my long brown hair was left lose. I rotated my red sides from side to side, trying to figure out how I got here. Then I remembered.

(A while ago...)

I was walking down the school hall. I needed to prepare for the upcoming baseball tournament. I was the only girl, not just in my team, but in the entire tournament. 

Suddenly someone caught my left arm, and someone else caught my right one. "Huh?" I said. "Mission capture Sayuri complete!" the kidnappers said in sync. Suddenly I was being dragged to a changing room. "Welcome," two maids who looked exactly identical said, "What would you like to wear today Miss?" Without waiting for my answer they quickly dressed me up, and then in a minute they pushed me into Music Room #3.

(Present)

I sweat dropped. Of course, it was the Hitachiin brothers, wasn't it? They were always messing with me. I looked at Haruhi who walked by her with some tea in her hands. "Hey Haruhi, do you think you could lend me a ribbon," I looked at Haruhi and asked. Haruhi turned around and rummaged through her pockets and pulled out a green ribbon and gave it to me. "Is this okay?" He asked me. "It's fine. Thank you." I gathered my hair and tied it up in one side ponytail, as I usually kept it.

"Hello dear," Tamaki said, popping up from nowhere, "It's our pleasure that you're here."

"Really senpai?" Haruhi asked.

"Um, senpai, I'm sorry but the baseball tournament is coming up and I need to practice."

"I see," Tamaki said... "But then again, you need to relax once in a while!" he said dragging me with him to a table. Honey-senpai and Mori-senpai were there at the table eating cake. "Hey Sayu-chan!" Honey-senpai said, "eat some cake with me," a gave me a cute, irresistible smile. I wished that I could smile like that too.

"Well a little cake wouldn't hurt..."

"So what cake would you like?" Hikaru came up with a notebook and pen, like a waiter.

"I think chocolate."

"Once chocolate cake coming up!"

"Thanks." I smiled.

"Get me one too Hika-chan," Honey-senpai said. He was so damn cute.

I looked around the room. Everyone was doing something, except Kaoru. He just sat in one corner, staring at something.

"Hey Kaoru. Come join us," I said, smiling.

"No, I'll pass," Kaoru said.

"Oh, okay then. Have fun doing... whatever you're doing."

My cake came sooner than expected. I ate it, thanked the host club, and left.

Kaoru was acting strangely today. Usually he does everything with Hikaru, but today he was sitting alone.

I let my thoughts take me to oblivion and went to change clothes.
