"Oh, wow. I was thinking you might need my help!" I exclaimed as I entered Haruhi's room. She had used hair extensions to give her curled tresses and wore a blue, white and pink dress with pink heels. She also had earrings. "I think the twins' maids came in and attacked me this morning," Haruhi muttered, looking in the mirror and running her hand through one of her pigtails. I sat down on the bed. After sighing, he asked himself, "Are you feeling better?" “I guess,” I shrugged. I really wasn't, but at least I wasn't tired anymore. Plus, my color had returned. "Good. You know, I wish he'd asked you," he revealed. I tilted my head to the side, "Why?" He explained, "Kaoru is nice, and I really appreciate what she's trying to do, but I guess I don't really like her that way. I think you two would be cuter together." He smiled at me through the mirror. "What?! No! Even if I liked it, I have a promise to keep," I blushed and looked away. "You've never opened up to him like I've seen you." do to anyone else first. I saw the way you look at him. I know you think I'm the oblivious one, but when it comes to love, you're the worst at figuring one out in it," she stated. I frowned, "I knew it once." I felt her sit down next to me, "That's why that you made the promise?" "No, I mean, yes, but... There were a lot of reasons, Haruhi. Even if I wanted to be with him, I couldn't. Just being his friend made my studies worse, even though my grades wouldn't drop, but he reasoned. Haruhi said to me, "Some promises have to be kept, you know. I have to go. I'll see you when I get back." I nodded as she stood up. I heard her heels click loudly... in the middle of the paper... other things. I don't even know if I'll see you next year because of this. If you were in my year, you, Hikaru, Haruhi and I could all be like one happy family. We saw each other almost every day. I could stay with you so much longer," she explained. How could I tell him that there was a possibility I wouldn't see him again in the next year? Even before he said it, it would have been hard. It was impossible then. I couldn't crush him. "What did you want to tell me?" Kaoru asked, freeing me from my thoughts and trying to figure out what to say. I'm just happy you came to Karuizawa. I hope it doesn't end after the summer. He laughed, “If I can snatch the textbooks out of your hands, then he won’t!” I laughed with him, but it was all fake. What have you got yourself now, Azami?
