I. New Transfer Student

---

Haruhi sat on the windowsill and looked at the dazzling fountain by the sunlight, which was placed in front of the school's main building. Just looking at it made her feel warm and the warm sunlight that shined through the window made her very sleepy.

"Haruhi, stop spacing out already. We are going to open the Host Club in ten minutes." Tamaki said as he running around the room rashly.

Haruhi looked at Tamaki and the other members of the Host club blankly. 'I wonder what I am doing here… Didn't I come to this school to study to become a lawyer like my mother?… Ah, I remember. I broken the vase and I am stuck here to pay that debt by becoming a Host… But I feel like I am spending too much time at Host Club than studying. If things go like this, can I really become a lawyer?' Haruhi thought.

While she was thinking about this, she felt somewhat she was being watched and when she looked outside she saw a boy staring at her. Haruhi gasped when she saw him. It wasn't just a normal one of the passing boy to her, it was…

"Ah, come to think about it, there is a new transfer student joining our school starting today…" Kyouya said as he looking outside, adjusting his glass.

"Who? Who is?" Tamaki and others said excitedly as they standing beside Kyouya.

"I believe he would be in your class, Haruhi. He is…" but before Kyouya could finish his sentence, Haruhi finished it for him.

"Hakami Touji." Haruhi said narrowing her eyes. Kyouya looked at Haruhi suspiciously, or rather surprised to know that Haruhi knew the new student.

"Haruhi, do you know him?" Tamaki asked in the tone of surprise yet jealousy.

"Huh?" Haruhi said uncertainly. Actually she didn't even realize that she was talking with the rest of the Host Club members. "Umm… I need to go to wash room." Haruhi said and rushed out of the third music room.

"What was that all about?" Tamaki said questionably.

"Anyway, the new student doesn't seem that interesting." Kaoru said as he walking away with Hikaru.

"But it seems like Haru-chan knows him." Hani said and Mori nodded in agreement.

"Do you know anything, Kyouya?" Tamaki asked but Kyouya just adjusted his glasses.

'This seems interesting.' Kyouya thought as he writing down notes in his notebook.

'They almost got me there.' Haruhi sighed as she leaning against the wall. 'Anyway, why is Hakami here?' Haruhi thought as she clenching her fist.

"Hiru."

Haruhi who was surprised to hear name 'Hiru' which she thought that she would never be called by that name again, looked at the person who called her and to her surprise, she saw Touji standing right in front of her.

"So it was you after all. Or should I address you as Fujioka Haruhi from now on?" Touji said grinning slightly.

Haruhi narrowed her eyes, and then she heard a voice saying inside her.

Let me meet him.
