"Doesn't Kyoya already know though?" Honey asked as we reached the classroom.
I sighed, stepping in behind him. "Not the details at least. Besides, there's nothing I can do about that. I'd rather he not know. Like I said, give me a few weeks. A month would be nice."
"How about until summer vacation then?" He turned with a small smile.
Summer vacation was just about a month from now.
"Sure. Sounds good to me." I smiled back but it was fake. Tell Honey? Tell the entire Host Club? About the gang? And everything we had done? Everything I did?
There are some things I did in middle school that I'm not proud of. Things I'm ashamed of doing. Things I wish I could take back.
"You okay, Ri-chan?" Honey asked, putting back on that lolita-shota look with his flower producing grin.
"Yeah." Another fake smile.
Last year. After this, I'd be free.
"Crap!" I slammed my hands on the table I was standing by before slumping down into a nearby couch. It was after school at Music room 3, and Haruhi was learning how to dance for the upcoming ball.
"What?" Hikaru asked, turning away from watching Haruhi practice.
"Next Saturday?" I turned to Kyoya since he knew the most. "The ball is next Saturday, right? At what time?"
"It starts at seven in the evening." Kyoya replied without looking up from his laptop. "Is there a problem?"
"Well problem one is the fact that no one told me about the ball." I said, crossing my arms. "Until the twins. And second, my mom comes home that day."
"Woah! your mom!" The twins turned to me.
"I don't see how that could be a problem." Kyoya said. He stopped typing whatever it was on his computer and looked up at me.
"Well," I sighed. "I don't see my mom often so I'd like to be at home with her. She'll probably be gone before Monday."
"Oh such great love for your mother!" Tamaki cried out, twirling over towards us.
"I wouldn't exactly call it love, Tamaki." I replied wryly, leaning back into the couch.
"Why not, Ri-chan?" Honey plopped down next to me. He had an entire platter of some cake with him. "Want some cake?"
"Sure! What kind?" I sat up, leaning towards what looked like a chocolate cake.
"I think it's called Black Magic Cake. It has dark chocolate in it." Honey offered me a fork and a grin.
