The Little Helper (Ouran High School)

Letting Go of the Past?

The limo ride was silent. Nobody dared ask what I was so upset about and I liked it that way. I gripped my phone and hoped to get home soon so I could tell my past to go away. Haruhi decided that she wanted to know, "Andrea, what's wrong? Why are you so upset?" I pursed my lips, but I figured that it would be rude if I didnt tell. "Yeah Ani-chan! Do we need to beat anyone up?" asked Honi with a grin. I smiled and then sighed, "Okay. Three of my old friends have come to visit. I dont know why though... The point is that our relationship was kind of awkward in the end and I dont know what Im going to say to them."I explained. 

Haruhi frowned, "You say you dont know why they came?" I nodded as the limo pulled into the mansion driveway. We all got out and I took a moment to stare at the house then started making my way to the entrance. Sadie looked through the blinds and opened the door for us all. I nodded at her once and came inside with everyone else. In the livingroom is where they all sat. I held my breath as I entered.

Marie was the first to turn. I gasped. She had changed so much! Her baby face was gone and her black hair was now a sharp red not to mention her brown eyes looked much fiercer. Then Colen looked at me and the only thing that had changed about her is that she had let her hair down. But her blue eyes had stayed dark and deep. Chase was the last to turn. He stood and I blushed. The last time I had seen him he had been scrawny and a little shorter than I. But now he was taller, more fit and his blond hair had darkened, and turned sandy blond. 

I almost cried but Marie tackled me with a hug. "Oof!" I grunted. "Hey! We missed you!" Marie exclaimed in her raspy like voice. I laughed as she let go then frowned, "Since when do you know Japanese?" I asked. She grinned and pointed at Colen with her thumb. Colen explained, "As soon as you left, we decided to learn..we had the best hopes for visiting you one day." I nodded my head then looked to Chase who shyly waved, "Hey." I giggled, "Hey." 

Tamaki stepped up, "Would you like to introduce us?" he asked with a polite voice. I nodded, "Marie, Colen, and Chase. Old friends" I pointed at each of them. Honi piped up, "Oh the ones that you said-" Mori picked up Honi and held his mouth shut. I laughed nervously and then introduced the guys to the three. "Takashi Morinozuka, but we call him Mori, Mitskuni Haninozuka, but we call him Honi, Tamaki Suoh, Hikaru and Kaoru Hitachiin and last but not least, Haruhi Fujioka." Kyoya cleared his throat, "Oh and my finace Kyoya Ootori." Marie seemed to take a liking to the twins and she bushed when they asked her, "Do you wear contacts?" She giggled, "Nooo.." 

I snickered then turned to the guys, "Hey, you all can start the movie. Ive got some catching up to do."I announced. All of them nodded and went to the second livingroom. I led Marie, Colen and Chase to the first one. "This house is huge!" exclaimed Marie, "And who are those dudes!" I rolled my eyes, "My friends from school." Colen laughed, "Theyre all..boys?" I frowned, "Uh yeah?" Chase looked down as he took a seat. When we are seated and comfortable I asked, "Hows life?" Chase responded in his, now slightly deeper voice, "Oh fine. I mean the principals know us all by name now so thats cool." Marie jumped in her seat, "Oh and you remember Mrs.Burrows?" I thought then remebered our science teacher and nodded. "We literaly almost gave her a heart attack! The school had to get the ambulance!" I frowned worriedly, "Well is she alright?" Colen's delicate eyebrows knitted together as she glanced at Marie. "Uhh. Yeah." I glared, "Youre not lying to me are you?" Colen shook her head, "No its just that.. three years ago you would have laughed your ass out." 

I raised my eyebrows in surprised, "Oh... Hey Ill be right back, I need to change." Then I ran up stairs to my room and picked out my shorts and black plaid shirt and topped it off with my fuzzy  striped socks. I slid down the rail back to the living room. I couldnt help but notice how Chase's eye drifted towards me and then quickly flashed back to his lap. I sat and asked, "Hey so how did you get here? I mean who provided you with tickets and all the good stuff?" Marie smiled, "Your mum and your business partner. Mr.Ootori?" I clenched my fists. So Mr.Ootori had invited them, huh. I nodded like nothing as bothering me, "Oh nice. What did he say?" Chase shrugged,"Something about thinking it was a good idea for us to visit you?" I nodded slowly and asked, "Hows it going with Colen and you, Chase?"
