Chapter 33 | Operation Haruhi and Hikaru's First Date!

~Arabella's POV~

"H-Haruhi...? Haruhi Fujioka???" the mystery guy had said in surprise.

Haruhi's eyes had widened. "Arai-kun...!" she muttered, just as surprised as the mystery guy.

The Host Club, including me, looked back and forth between the two of them.

The mystery guy chuckled. "Uh... are these friends of yours...?" he asked awkwardly.

Haruhi stood there a second before nodding. "Mm hm, yes!" she said. Then, she gestured to me. "This is Arabella," The twins. "This is Hikaru and Kaoru," Tamaki. "And this is my sen--" Haruhi stopped herself.

Tamaki looked proud, awaiting Haruhi to introduce him.

Haruhi then continued. "This is an acquaintance of mine."

Tamaki froze.

And looked absolutely horrified.

"It was at our graduating ceremony at middle school, the last time we saw each other, huh?" Haruhi said.

As I swept the floor, I listened to their conversation.

"You cut your hair, what a shame." the mystery guy (or, Arai, as Haruhi introduced him to us) said.

"You think so? Ever since I cut it, I found it's easier to manage this way." Haruhi said.

"How have you been settling in at Ouran?" Arai asked. "Do you ever see anyone from middle school?"

"Sort of. Kazumi calls me a lot, and such." Haruhi said.

"Hm, he's a friend of Haruhi's from middle school, is he?" Kyoya asked as he, Honey, and Mori sat a table some feet away from Haruhi's.

"I guess so." I said as I swept around their table.

Across from the table, sitting at the long island with Kaoru, Hikaru said, "Haruhi! Arabella! You're slacking off. Miszuru! Get them back to work, please!"

Haruhi huffed and glared at Hikaru. "Miszuru gave me a break."

"And, I am working. Miszuru didn't give me a break because my long-lost best friend didn't just show up out of the blue, that and I don't have a long-lost best friend." I grumbled as I kept sweeping.

Hikaru rolled his eyes. "Whatever. Anyway, if they haven't been in contact since their middle school ceremony, that wouldn't mean he's a friend, it would mean he's just a classmate."

Kaoru nudged me. "Hey, did Haruhi ever mention Arai to you?" he asked.

I shook my head. "No."

"Are you friends with him too?

"Uh, no. I already said I didn't have a long-lost best friend." I said.

I legit had NO FRIENDS until I met the Host Club...

Sad, isn't it?

Kaoru nodded. "Oh, okay." That's all he said.

Hikaru glared at him.

Jeez... what's up with him...?

"So, you say they're all in the same club as you?" Arai asked Haruhi. "Even her?" He nodded his head at me.
