“Arai?” Haruhi questioned making Kazu and I turn to see what was going on at the door
“Are these friends of yours?” He asked glancing at Hikaru, Kaoru, and Tamaki-senpai
“Yeah, we’re classmates and this is my… an acquaintance of mine.” She said gesturing to my brothers and then senpai
“I guess I won’t be needing that revenge then. It’s not satisfying kicking someone who’s already down…” I giggled evilly looking at the newly depressed king
“And I thought Kyoya-senpai was bad…” Kazu laughed
Everyone was listening to Arai talk to Haruhi a distance away, and I don’t know why, but bad vibes were coming off of Hikaru. It felt like…jealousy…
“Hey, Haruhi! Don’t you think you should be working! You shouldn’t be slacking off!” Hikaru said rudely shaking his empty cup
“Hikaru…” I pleaded
“Misuzu said I could take a break.” Haruhi explained
“What’s with him? He’s trying to use the refreshing innocence approach. Someone should tell him we already had a refreshment contest.” Hikaru scoffed
“You’re awfully critical today.” Kyoya-senpai noted
“I’m just sayin’! It’s obvious this guy has a thing for Haruhi. It’s sickening watching him flirt. Ugh!” Hikaru shrugged
“Hikaru! Quit acting like such a jerk!” Haruhi demanded
“It’s no big deal. I mean, I did have a thing for you once.” Arai said making me watch my brothers’ faces to see what they were thinking
‘Shock…’ I thought to myself
“You already turned me down though, right?” Arai laughed rubbing the back of his head
“What?” We all yelled. We were shocked, but not as much as Haruhi
“Why are you so surprised?” Kyoya-senpai asked
“Well, I didn’t know.” She mumbled
“You have to tell us what happened.” Tamaki-senpai pleaded
“About a year ago, I asked her not to go to Ouran and to stay with me, but instead of hearing my confession, she just brought me to the counselor’s office to see if we both could apply. In other words, she was completely oblivious to me and my heart.” Arai explained
“Haruhi… You broke this innocent man’s heart just for some joke?” Kyoya-senpai asked
“I’m so sorry…” She said bowing to Arai
“So, you’re turning me down again a whole year later?!” Arai asked
“I can’t!” I screamed before bursting into laughter and rolling on the floor
“I’m so done!” Kazu laughed on his hands and knees wiping away tears
Everyone sat down with Haruhi and Arai listening to what she was like in middle school except for Hikaru, Kaoru, and me.
“What should we do, Hikaru? Everyone’s having a good time over there. Should we join them?” Kaoru asked
“No! I’m not going to. I can’t believe the boss is actually hanging out with that jerk.” Hikaru snapped like a hurt child
“Hikaru…He doesn't seem that bad…” I said quietly
“Hikaru, Kaoru, Hibiki! Get over here. This may be our only chance to hear about how Haruhi was like in middle school.” Tamaki-senpai gushed
