do you remember your first crush?

the butterflies that made you blush when you saw him, that moment in time when you knew he was the one?

well, that's what's been happening to me. I feel like every time Karou even glances my way my heart melts. he even smiled a little at me.

I have to talk to him.

but how?

he's always with Hikarou, I could never get him alone...

maybe...

"ROSE!" I snapped out of my daydream to look at Arabella who was writing on some fancy paper. "have you been listening to me at all?" I shook my head clear of thoughts rubbing my tired eyes "yeah, sorry Arabella I'm just... really tired"

she holds the paper way to close to my face "I'm trying to help you write a letter to Karou"

I shot wide awake thanking that it was lunch time so the twins were nowhere in sight.

"Arabella Capulet!" I scolded "don't you even THINK about doing that to me-" right then a boy walks past our lunch table. he has blonde hair, blue eyes.

"wow" I muttered still not taking my eyes off of him as he talks to the twins across the way.

we had set up a little table in the courtyard hating the busy lunch room. with Arabella's powers up no one can see us (unless she takes it down duh)

"what is that guy saying?"

Arabella takes a sip of strawberry milk (her favorite)

"the blonde guy is Tamaki, he's trying to get the twins to join some club"

I smile "Tamaki is a third year... why would he be asking a couple of second year students?"

Arabella shrugs "maybe he's wanting to crack through the shell the twins keep themselves in"

I nod "I'm going to ask if I can join"

Arabella spit takes "WHAT?" she yells "your crazy he's asking if they'll join a host club!"

I pat her head "well I'm so glad you know what a host club is"

I stand up walking through Arabellas little hidden spell with ease. Tamaki seems shocked as he walks away from the twins.

"okay Heather" I tell myself "you can do this"

Hikarou is on the left and your Karou is on the right.

"hello" I clear my throat "my name is-"

"we know who you are" Hikarou states

"your the commoner girl from homeroom" Karou adds

wow, they finish each others sentences??

"I just wanted to say-"

"what? that you like us?" says Hikarou defensibly

"or maybe you like just one of us" Karou adds.

"so, which one is it?" they say together "do you like Hikarou or Karou?"

I'm frozen in place, my mouth hung open but no words seem to escape them.

I slowly lift my pointer finger pointing at Karou.

"i-i like you Karou" I muttered never looking away from his eyes.

"I haven't stopped thinking about you"

the twins stand up towering over me.

I'm actually terrified.

"I'm Karou" Hikarou says

I shake my head "listen you can't fool me Hikarou..."

hes eyes grow with anger "I'm not trying to"

"why don't you take your disgusting curly hair and go away" Karou says.

no, this can't be happening. this isn't really happening. I must be having a nightmare.

"what the bloody hell is wrong with you two?" Arabella yells putting her arms around me "stop messing with her head! you ARE Hikarou and YOU are Karou" she's furious. I run away with an ache in my heart, and tears flowing down my face like a water fall.

I ran, not stopping even when my lungs began to ache. I sobbed like a baby until I came across a empty park.

I hid away in a tunnel slide, I buried my face in my sleeves still sobbing.

I cried until I began to gasp for air.

he hates me.

they both do.

my phone began to ring in my bag. I pulled it out checking the caller I.D.

its Arabella.

I click the answer button placing it up to my ear.

"Heather" its Tamaki, he sounds as if he's running "stay where you are, your sister and I are almost there"

I hear the distant sound of people running

"she's over there" I hear Arabella yell "her heart is beating 90 to nothing"

I want to die.

I feel as if someone had punched me a million times in the gut.

those butterflies I was talking about earlier are gone. vanished, died.

but an angel called me from my despair. he opened his arms and his world to me.

he couldn't have been more kind when he offered his hand to me and said "how would you like to run the host club... together."
