Chapter 14 | The Winter Ball

--a week later--

~Kaoru's POV~

"My princesses, who have gathered here tonight, the Ouran Host Club bids you a fond welcome... to the Ouran Academy Winter Ball!" Tono said as the lights all suddenly came on, revealing the entire Host Club.

Well, all of us except Arabella. She wasn't here yet.

"We invite you to enjoy yourselves to your heart's content as you dance with the Host Club members! In addition, the guest who is recognized as the best dancer of the night and is chosen as tonight's queen will receive an impassioned kiss on the cheek from our very own king, Tamaki Suoh." Kyoya said.

"Good luck to you all, my beauties!" Tono said as he winked at all our customers.

The second he did that, they all either squealed, fangirled, fainted, or all three.

Haruhi just rolled her eyes. "Ugh... when is Arabella gonna get here...? She needs to come and save me..." she grumbled.

Hikaru and I approached her. "Haruhi, your enthusiasm is low..." we both said to her.

Haruhi sighed. "I'm not used to all this... I mean, we've never really had a real fancy event like this before... In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if Arabella decided to back out and stayed at home. I should've done the same..." she grumbled.

As much as I did NOT want to see Arabella and Soga come in together, I have the feeling she wouldn't just stand us up like that... I mean, she would at least tell us that she wouldn't be coming.

"Oh, quit your whining. You're here anyway, why don't you try out the cuisine? There's quite a spread." Kyoya said.

"A-A spread...? Like, with fancy tuna...?" Haruhi said.

Tono's eyes widened. "FANCY TUNA?! WE DON'T HAVE FANCY TUNA...!!!" he shouted. He pointed at Kyoya, who immediately began dialing on his phone. "Kyoya, get some fancy tuna here, stat!!! And some deluxe sushi!!!"

Haruhi grumbled. "Damn these rich people..." she muttered to herself. Hikaru and I rolled our eyes at her.

Suddenly, a buzzing sound was heard. Haruhi pulled her phone out of her tux pocket.

"It's Arabella," she said, sounding relieved. "Freaking finally...! I'll have someone that I can suffer with...! She just arrived."

I looked around for her. "Where? I don't see her." I said. On the bright side, I didn't see Soga either.

Wait, why do I care so much that Soga asked Arabella to the ball???

Just a week ago, Hikaru and I overheard Soga asking Arabella to the ball. We also witnessed them giggling and whispering to each other like they were a couple already.

It was so sickingly sweet that I wanted to barf up my lunch.

Hikaru's hand was suddenly on my shoulder. "Don't worry, Kaoru, your girlfriend will be here momentarily." he said.

I probably turned fifty shades of red. "Sh-She is NOT my girlfriend...!!!" I studdered. Hikaru just shrugged in response.

"Besides, she came here with someone else." I snapped slightly. Hikaru gave me a look.

God, what is wrong with me lately??? Lately, I've been pissed off and mad at the world and everything and everyone in it. I have no idea why...
