The Ice Princess [OHSHC]

13 : Bonding Session

Claire's POV

The show was over and I returned to the dressing room to remove my makeup and changed into Leo's grey shirt and my favorite black tights.

I slumped onto the sofa and took out my phone to look at the pictures taken from earlier. I swiped on the screen when one of the pic revealed the crowd and... They were in it.

Of course, they were in it as they were in the front row. I remember having eye contact with either one of the twin as well.

Hey, it's not that I can't distinguish the two redheads. I can, but only when they're talking cause when they're sitting down, they seriously do look the same.

Haruhi and Tamaki already knows about my gender but Haruhi hasn't really seen me in a girl's outfit?

" Knock knock, can we come in? " a voice sounded from the outside, shaking my thoughts about them away.

It must be Aunt Yuzuha's assistant. I can't wait to see her new designs because I'm a really big fan of hers.

I happily hopped to the door. " Yeah you must be the... " I paused as my eyes widened at the sight of the two.

Yeah you've guessed it. The redheaded twins are standing right before me again. This isn't the first time we bumped into each other while I'm dressed as a girl.

" Are you okay? " Hikaru asked.

" Y-yeah, come in. " I assured them.

Hikaru eyed me suspiciously.

Yes indeed, I was screaming inside as I felt his gaze on me.

Hikaru finally stopped looking at me as he scanned the room. " so you must be Claire?" 

I thought of answering him back in my usual tone but then... I had to keep my professionalism as for now, I'm Claire and not Min.

" Yeah, nice to meet the both of you. " I tried not to look nervous by smiling." I'm guessing Aunt Yuzuha sent the both of you here to discuss about the designs, can we get started on it? "

" Sure. " the both of them nodded their head in unison.

Ooh boy, this is going to be hard.

" So it'll be this one then." I showed the paper to them.

We have been going through the designs for the past thirty minutes when Kaoru had to make a call.

" It's milord. " Kaoru whispered to Hikaru." I'm sorry, I'll be real quick! " he then dashed out of the room, leaving only Hikaru and I in the room.
" So... Let's er, talk about ourselves? " Hikaru suggested.

How about no? I didn't even want to be in the same room as them let alone get to know them.

" Sure. " I blurted out as I slapped myself mentally.

" So... Are you still a student? "

" Yeah, I'm still in highschool actually. " please don't ask me which one...

" Oh really? " Hikaru beamed with delight." So which school are you in? Kaoru and I are in Ouran Highschool. "

Okay, great. Now what do I answer him with?

" I..." I paused when my phone started ringing, thank God whoever the caller is.

" Hey Claire, get ready to go. Mr Lee is already here. I'll be waiting for you in the car. " Leo informed before hanging up the call. Mr Lee has been our family chauffeur ever since we moved back to Japan.
