Lost and Returned (Ouran High School Host Club love story)

Chapter 5

Despite going to bed late last night I still managed to beat my alarm by a few minutes, so I turned it off, there was no use just lazing about it would just make me tired again. Though my lips felt strange, it was hard to explain there was no sensation or feeling to them, just weird. I brushed it off though and took a quick shower, but while I was drying off I still ended up thinking about that strange feeling. No answer was coming my way though, I pulled my hair up after I finished brushing my teeth, I liked having long hair, but it got in the way and really by now it was more of a force of habit than anything to put it up. Once more I picked out some decent clothes to wear to school, I was going to end up repeating myself soon, maybe I should get an outfit or two more so that way I would be able to go a week without repeating myself. I only had three outfits so far, but I had switched up what they were paired with. Still seeing the same thing day after day was boring, especially when no matter what you picked you were going to stand out. I changed quickly and pulled on some simple shoes, making sure not to leave my sketch book behind. I did silently promise I would show Haruhi what it was when I finished it, I was silent, but that didn't mean I didn't have morals.  However apparently my mind had been wandering and slowing me down more than I thought. When the idea to glance at my clock passed through my mind again it was 7:05! I needed to get to school, my mom came up the stairs and she looked a bit concerned when she opened the door. 

"Is something wrong? What's taking so long? You're not sick are you?" I shook my head as I slung my bag over my shoulder and followed her down the stairs in more of a hurried manner. "Just a slow day then." I shrugged my shoulders feeling myself relax when we were in the car. I didn't know what was wrong with me today, guess it really was just a strange day. Then again it had been a strange week so far with all this host club business. I really needed to find another place to hang out, but there hadn't been a decent room so far that didn't have a group of people being obnoxious in it. Even the libraries. We hit some traffic on the way there that made me tense again, I hated being late to things- well important things- but I ended up getting there just before class started anyway. When I got into the class room, I let out a mental sigh of relief, thank goodness, I still needed to be on my best behavior in order to keep my scholarship here. When I sat down Haruhi looked over at me, he seemed curious about how late I showed up.

"I think this is the first time you've almost been late this week, did something happen?" I shook my head to his question, and not long after he had asked the teacher started class. I took my usual amount of notes through class so that I could recap anything that was still fuzzy or that I forgot. I hardly ever used these since I actually listened during my classes, but it was good to have them just in case. I was getting my stuff for the next class ready when the clones came up to me. I was kind of hoping they would ignore me like they seemed to do yesterday. 

"Hey, why were you late this morning?"  Both of them came up and asked me at the same time, they seemed to speak together a lot. Though I couldn't say that me and Kimiko were entirely innocent of that, really we were troublemakers whenever I thought back to when she was here. However I did my best to ignore them as usual, but my face was twitching in annoyance already. I think a headache was starting too, goodness I think if I have to put up with too much more from these two that they'll start making me sick whenever I see them.

"You're usually the first one here," Kaoru was the one speaking, ugh I'm doing it again, maybe it was just because I was a twin and people had a hard time telling me and Kimiko apart; but despite the fact I couldn't stand these two I just seemed to go out of my way to differentiate them from one another. Though it's probably only because I was a twin and being confused as the other can be aggravating and painful, since it only goes to prove how little the people around you know you and how little they care to try. 

"So?" They both spoke again, despite bored expressions they weren't going to leave me alone that easily when they wanted to know something, that much I knew from day one when they practically stalked me while asking me questions. I tried to ignore them even more so and focus on anything else. Why couldn't they mind their own business? Or at least go and bug someone else? This whole situation with them was annoying. I wasn't anything special, I was average in my appearance, I didn't dress flashy, I didn't do anything interesting, I was probably the most boring person in this room. So why bug me? Was it just because I didn't lose my mind like some idiot whenever they were around?
