At the end of summer vacation, Karou and Cleo had told the host club that they were dating. As always Tamaki acted dramatically while the rest were chill about it. It did make working with male customers harder for Cleo as Kaoru would always be visibly jealous across the room. Cleo always assured him that she wasn't interested in anyone but him and that he didn't need to be jealous but he was.
Walking into school with Kaoru one it seemed something was up as whispered were everywhere.
"Did you see the new guy?" one girl asked
"Yeah he's so smart"
"And handsome"
"I wish I could talk to him"
'New guy?' I thought walking into class
"Have you heard?" Haruhi asked
"About the new student?" she nodded "I haven't heard anything except the whispered in the hallways" I mentioned
"Apparently he's a late honor's kid. He's also very rich" she said
"Great another rich person," I remarked we both laughed at that before class started.
~~~~~
All throughout the day, that's all that was talked about. The new student. From what I've heard, he's rich, from Sweden and is very handsome
"Have you heard the news?" Hikaru
"There's a new student," Kaoru said sitting down next to me
"Rumor has it he's from Sweden," Tamaki said
"How exciting" Honey added
"Yes, it is exciting," Kyoya said typing away on his laptop
"Does anyone know his name?" I asked they all shook their head
"I'll find out today after school," Tamaki said I nodded as lunch ended shortly after that.
It kept bugging me about this new student
'I have a bad feeling about this kid' I though walking to class then bumping into someone
"Oh I am so sorry" I apologized
"Oh, it's no worries, Cleo" that voice. It can't be. I quickly walked away not looking at the person. My heart was breathing faster and faster until I got into the classroom
"Cleo, are you alright? You seem pale" I jumped at the question
"I just--nevermind" I sat down that one line playing in my head
'If that's him. If he's back I--' I stopped not wanting to relive any of the past.
For the rest of the day until school got out I couldn't stop acting jumpy. When I walked into the club room I calmed down
'I'm just overreacting. You don't even know for sure that was him' I thought
"Cleo, are you ok?" Kaoru asked taking my hand and rubbing his thumb over the back of it. I nodded then kissed him before getting ready.

As I was talking with one of my girl regulars someone had come into the club room
"Yes, how may we help you?" I heard Kyoya asked over
"I would like to request to see Cleo, please" there it was again. That voice. I tried to calm down but it didn't work as the girl asked me what was wrong
"I'm fine, it's just hot in here" I recovered
"Cleo, you have a new customer," Kyoya said as he walked over with a boy with black hair, 5' 7", slim figure, and perfectly tanned skin
"Oh my gosh, you're Liu Xeng, the new honor student" he nodded
"Yes I am, and you are," he said taking the girl's hand and kissing the back of it making her squeal
"Well nice to meet you, Liu, I'm Cleo" I greeted trying to stay calm
"What a lovely name," he said kissing my and
'You never changed' I thought
"I won't keep you, see you tomorrow Cleo!" she said walking away
"Bye" I turned back toward Liu "Oh have a seat, I'll be back real quick," I said
"Don't take long, I'm dying to get to know you" he said I smiled and walked out of the room. Closing the door I sprinted for the bathroom and leaned over the counter taking deep breaths
"Just breath Cleo, just breath" that didn't help I just hyperventilate faster "Oh shit," I said running to one of the stalls and throwing up from the stress. When I was done I flushed and cleaned myself up
'I'm not going to make the rest of this time' I thought looking at the time to see that it was nowhere close to closing time for the club. That's when I texted Kaoru that I wasn't feeling good and heading home and for him to bring my stuff after the club was closed. When I walked out of the bathroom I looked around making sure Liu wasn't around before heading home.

"You're home early, didn't your club meet after school today?" my mom asked I nodded
"I wasn't feel good so I came home," I said walking upstairs to my room. I laid on the bed looking up at the ceiling
"You're home," Jon said "What's wrong?" he asked
"Nothing" I mumbled my heart heaved. Jon walked away, that's when I let it out. Tears streamed down my face. My breath heavy and body shaking
'Fuck, fuck! I thought I had gotten away! How the hell did this happen!' I thought this went on for several minutes until I calmed down now only laying there my mind swirling with my body numb 'This can't be happening'.
Kaoru came and dropped my bag off a little after. I didn't get up and let the maids bring it to me. When dinner was ready I didn't go down. My appetite had disappeared completely. That night I went to sleep crying.
