Chapter 36 | Hikaru plays Matchmaker~

--a few days later--

~Kaoru's POV~

"Go on."

"Do I have to right now...? Club hours are starting soon...!" I objected.

Hikaru glared at me, obviously in no mood. "Go."

I grumbled before I reluctantly marched over to where Arabella was standing.

For the past few days, I've been avoiding telling Arabella how I feel about her, and for good reason too.

Rejection.

I'm terrified of being rejected.

I mean, I've never done this before! I've never told a girl I was in love with her, mainly because I didn't have to, mainly because I never felt this way about any girl. EVER.

Well, apparently, that changed real quick...

Ever since I figured out I had feelings for her in Karuizawa, I can't get Arabella out of my head...! It's like a disease--being in love, I mean--once you have it, you're completely and utterly done for.

Also, over the past few days, Hikaru has decided to go all Cupid on me and play Matchmaker for Arabella and me! It's completely ridiculous. I can't go one minute without Hikaru going, "You should totally ask Arabella out! You clearly love her! So, ask her on a date! Will you? You should! You really should! It's the obvious thing to do! Did I mention you should?" It's driving me CRAZY...!

Up until now, I've been able to avoid revealing my true feelings to Arabella and asking her out.

But, now, Hikaru is clearly done with all my 'bullshit', as he put it.

I saw Arabella talking with the rest of our club members.

Fortunately, Arabella separated from the group, so she was alone.

Yay...! Now I can be rejected in private...!

I approached her.

"H-Hey, Arabella...!" I said nervously. I'm pretty sure somewhere in there I gulped.

Real smooth, Romeo...

"What is it, Kaoru?" Arabella asked.

"Uh... It's... Uh..." I gulped. I turned to see Hikaru giving me a look that said, "Just fucking DO IT already!!!"

"It's what?" Arabella asked.

"It's just... Um... I need to tell you something..." I said.

"And what's that?" Arabella asked.

I was probably sweating out of nervousness by now. "It's... Uh... Um... Look, Arabella, I'm just gonna spit it out--Arabella, I am in lo--"

"Places, everyone. Club hours officially start in one minute." Kyoya interrupted me.

I could practically feel Hikaru's anger behind me. He probably wanted to kill Kyoya.

We all got in our places and soon the doors to Music Room 3 opened.

We all smiled and greeted our guests. "Welcome!"

"Are you just going to stare at her like a lovesick puppy or are you going to go over there and ask her out already?"
