"So this is it, huh? Ouran high..." I sighed quietly, straightening a wrinkle out of my yellow dress. "What an icky uniform..." I complained quietly. As I turned to walk in, a cough came from behind. I blinked, turning to see who it was. A young man with black hair and glasses bowed over me. I gulped quietly before backing up. He seemed quiet but upset. The curved smile he wore gave me a chilling sensation.
"If you don't like it, don't talk about it, please. We take pride in our school." I nodded and continued to back up until I tripped. Standing back up, I looked at him with a gulp before running towards the large buildings.
How embarrassing! I thought as I halted to a stop behind a large pole. Leaning back to it for support, I realized my bag was gone. Slapping my head, I growled at myself for leaving it at home. "For the first day here..."
Ouran high school really sucks...
"Every one, we have a new student with us starting today!" The room I stood in front of started to whisper in excitement. "Come in, Raven-san!" I opened the door and quietly stepped inside. The whispers quieted down, but only for a moment before they started again. When the teacher asked me to speak, I nodded.
"I'm Raven Yuri (last, first). Nice to meet you all. I've transferred from India, but I've lived here most of my life. I'm really bad a science, math and history, so if you are good at any of those, please do help me out." Light laughter sounded the room but quickly stopped. After being shown to my seat, I found myself sitting next to a snobby girl named Kichi.
"To be this bad, you had to get in because of your money." I felt my self esteem drop.
"I guess so..." She took it as an insult that I talked back, and growled before looking away. The class started as science class, and I moaned to myself. I started the hands on project alone; Kichi was busy gossiping about me. Soon, the class was over, and the break came. I sighed, standing up from my seat and walking around the building to sit by the large bond I had noticed from outside the window.
"You have some free time, I see." I turned and saw the boy from earlier. You know, the one who made me run like a baby just because I didn't like the uniform? I stood up but stayed quiet. "How are you?" I narrowed my eyes lightly.
"May I ask who you are?" He blinked, but then smiled.
"Kyoya." I nodded before asking another question,
"Well then, Kyoya, I would greatly appreciate it if you left me alone."
"Eh? Is someone actually being mean to the Shadow King?" Two people grabbed on to my arms and I looked up, seeing doubles. "She's not even cute!" I was left speechless until I realized I was being insulted. Taking my hands back, I snapped at the twins.
"And who are you to say that?" One of the two started to act like a sad little girl. The other held him.
"Kaoru, are you okay?" The 'stronger' one asked. The other, Kaoru, looked over to me.
"Hikaru, why do they have to be so mean?" By they, I guessed he meant girls. Hikaru lifted Kaoru's head by his chin and they looked in to each others eyes. I started to twitch, uncomfortable.
"Don't cry, Kaoru." I started to cover my face; it was turning red.
"What's wrong with you guys?! You're brothers for goodness sake!" They looked at each other, and then back to me.
"So?" I fell, but stood back up.
"Never mind. I'm leaving before I get in to something I don't want." The shadow king, or Kyoya, looked at me with a small smile.
"I'm sure we could give you what you want. Just name it." This guy liked playing games...
"Hm..." I said, then crossing my arms. "Fine then, I want..." They leaned in, "you to leave me alon--"
"I bet you want cake!" There was something small...something small hugging my hips...
"What the heck?!" I looked down and saw a little boy...or at least he looked like one...
"Eh?" He looked at me in confusion. "You don't want cake?" My eyes softened as I stared at him. He reminded me of one (of many) of my brothers. A quiet but tall boy pulled him off of me and set him on his shoulder.
"Calm down, Honey-sama." He said in a monotone. I stared at 'Honey-sama', my mouth almost open. Kyoya coughed, and I looked at him quietly.
"What was it you wanted?" I opened my mouth, but then closed it shut, my upper lip being nibbled on. "Hm?"
"I...I..." The bell rang, and I looked up at the clock. The break was over. I turned and started to run.
"She was weird..." Kaoru smiled lightly.
"Hikaru, I've found my personal toy!" Kaoru sang as they made their way back to class. Hikaru looked at him strangely.
"But we've got Haruhi!" Hikaru protested. Kaoru said that he could keep her, he was the one really fascinated with her. Hikaru looked up and saw me opening the neighboring classroom door. The two snickered before following you in to the room. When they entered, I was back in my seat and the teacher was taking role again. Everyone looked up, and the girls started to scream. I, on the other hand, sank down in my seat. What were they doing here? Those two...they were nothing but trouble! They searched the room as the teacher asked what they needed. They smiled at each other, and turned back to the class.
"We need a model for the Host club!" they sang in unison. I sank lower in my seat as girls pleaded to be the model. I didn't know what this host club was exactly, but if it was what I thought, I didn't want to be part of it. All the girls started to stare at Kichi and said that she would probably be the model. Though she was snobby, she was the beautiful blonde of the class. "We want a medium height girl..." Some of the girls quieted down, for they were too short or too tall, "A calm look to their face," a lot of the girls then sat down then, "and red hair." Kichi blinked, surprised at what they had said. I looked over my desk and to the boys. They were staring directly at me. Then, once we made eye contact, Kaoru pointed at me. "We want you!" I shook my head.
"No way! I don't want to go anywhere with you!" Kichi glared at me before standing up.
"Kaoru-sama, Hikaru-sama, as her friend, I must say, don't take her! She's too shy to be your model! Pick some one else, like me!" They glared at Kichi, causing her to sit down again. Regardless, I nodded in agreement.
"What she said is true. Please, just take her. She's so much more prettier." They were walking up to my desk now, and I scooted back in my chair. They looked between Kichi and I.
"I think you're just as pretty! Don't you, Hikaru?" Hikaru nodded in agreement with his twin. I felt my cheeks burning. Lowering my head, they asked once more.
"Won't you be our model?" I paused for a moment before nodding. They grabbed each of my hands and pulled me out of my seat. I stared at them with a tinted face, but they only smiled. "Come on, then!" The teacher didn't say anything; she only watched. I looked back to Kichi, and she returned the look with her own jealous but angry look. I turned my head back forward as we exited the room. The two boys sighed. "You're stubborn! We thought you'd never come!" Kaoru said. I sighed.
"Kichi-san is going to hate me now..." They spit at her name.
"Do you really hang out with her? She's such a b--"
"Don't talk about her like that!" I said before looking down. "It makes you no better than her..." The two switched a look before snickering.
"Anyway, what was it?" I blinked, looking up with a small, annoyed growl.
"What was what?"
"You know, what you wanted." Kaoru snickered again. "You made it look like you wanted Honey-chan." I blushed a little, and lifted my hand to my chin.
"I do." The two stopped laughing, and blinked. I waved my hands in the air. "B-but not that way!" I smiled lightly. "He reminds me of my little brother who is still in India."
"Nobody could act like Honey-chan!" They laughed.
"You wouldn't understand." They stopped and stared at me. "You two are very close, all the time, I see. You wouldn't know what it's like to be alone." I snapped at them. Turning, I started walking back to the room. "I'm not interested in this modeling thing." A hand caught mine. I turned to see one of the twins holding it. The other twin looked surprised, but said nothing.
"We're sorry, we were kidding!" The one holding my hand said. I looked at him, my eyebrows still bowed, but then eased up lightly.
"I still don't want to be your model." The other twin walked up and waved his hand in the air.
"We lied about that anyway." I froze, realizing that they had made me skip unnecessarily. I smacked both of their faces in to each other and growled.
"Stupid boys!" Heads started to pop out of the windows of classrooms. "Don't take me out of class just to be stupid! I want nothing to do with your little pranks!" They were still rubbing their heads when I slammed the door behind me. Returning to my seat, I folded my arms and stared at the board. Noticing everyone was staring, I dropped my arms and spoke: "Please, ignore me and go on with the lesson." Everyone turned, but no one paid attention. Rumors started quickly. Oh boy , I thought, I can't wait for the next break.
"There she is! The girl who yelled at the beauty twins!" I sighed in my seat, hearing angry girls walking by. I leaned my head on my hands. Staring out the window, I waited for the break to end.
"There she is! Yuri-chan!" I turned to the person who was being so informal and blinked. "Yuri-chan, right?" I looked down and saw the cute boy, Honey-chan. I felt a small smile rise on my lips.
"Hello, Honey-san." He held up a note by using his bunny's hand with a smile.
"This is from Kaoru-chan! Please read it!" He said before waving good bye and running out of the room (and taking half the class with him). I watched him run out and looked back down to the note. Slowly, I opened it.
"Dear Raven Yuri,
You hit hard! If you were angry, you should have just said so!"
I looked angrily at the paper, but continued to read.
"Anyway, after we told our lord about what happened, he became determined to get you to come and enjoy yourself at the host club (located in the third music room)."
I snickered, they weren't going to get me to go there!
Oh, and if you don't come at least once, we'll tell everyone you got rejected by us and beat us up! "
The paper was crushed by my hands, and I stood up quickly. Running to the third music room, I opened the door to smell and see rose petals flowing through the air. Seven boys sat there, arms open, waiting for me to enter all the way. Kyoya, Honey, the twins, and the tall guy were all there. Two of them I hadn't met, but I didn't want to. Walking up, the twins happily walked up to me.
"So you got my note!" Said Kaoru.
"So who do you want to chat with?" Hikaru asked. I kept my head lowered, and said nothing. They started to tease me, but sniffles started to come out of my mouth. The twins leaned in, and I lifted my head for them to see tears. I yelled out to them, calling them stupid, and fell to the ground.
"What did I ever do to you? I mean...I know I bumped your heads together, but you're just mean!" I continued to cry as girls looked at the twins in worry.
"Kaoru-chan, what did you write in that note?" Honey asked. The tall guy took me to a couch and helped me sit down. I wiped my eyes and nodded, thanking him. He nodded back in silence.
"N-nothing much! I just asked her to come down here!" One of the newer people to me rubbed my back lightly.
"Nothing much wouldn't cause her to cry, Kaoru. If you did something, apologize." Kaoru switched a look with Hikaru, who shrugged, and he walked up.
"Yuri-chan,"
"Don't call me that..." My hands still covered my face, and my reply had come out muffled. He looked a little annoyed, and peeled them off.
"I can't talk to you if--" Reveling my face, I winked at Kaoru with my tongue sticking out. My hands were in such a way that no one but Kaoru could see my face.
"Baka...this is my black mail." I whispered before pulling my hands back on to my face. "Why do you have to look at me like that? So mean!" I started to wail loudly, and the other small boy beside me rubbed my back again.
"Apologize already, Kaoru!" The tall blonde one said. "Never make a girl cry!" He stood up and bowed,
"I'm very sorry, Raven-san!" I lowered my hands and tears stained my cheeks.
"T-thank you...Kaoru-san. That makes me feel a lot better." I turned to the boy beside me. "I'm sorry for causing so much trouble." He shook his head, saying it was alright.
"By the way," Honey said walking up, "This is Haruhi-chan! And the blonde guy is our lord, Tamaki-chan!" I stood up and bowed with a smile.
"A pleasure." While I socialized with the four, the twins and Kyoya stared at me in interest.
"She was able to turn the black mail around." Kyoya said with a grin. The twins grinned as well.
"I've decided, Hikaru." Hikaru looked over to Kaoru. "She's my new toy." The three grinned, looking over to me.
"Good morning, young mistress." I smiled at the maid with a smile.
"Good morning, Ira-san." Making my way down the stairs of my mansion. After getting ready, I made my way outside. The sun shone bright; through the tree's leaves. Hearing a car, I looked down again and saw the twins standing outside of a limo. I sighed, walking up. "You really want to start this early in the morning?" The two blinked at each other.
"Start what? We're just being gentlemen, picking up a lady who happens to live down the street from us." They grabbed me by my arms and pulled me inside. I found myself in between them on a silent ride. "So, Yuri-chan," I figured the one putting his arm on my shoulder was Kaoru, "what was up with yesterday?" I blinked innocently.
"What do you mean? I just remember you black mailing me, and then apologizing so kindly for making me cry."
"She's a real weasel, isn't she?" Hikaru said with a sigh. I looked down; that one hurt. Kaoru must have noticed, because he dropped the subject and started to joke around.
"Anyway, I was wondering if we could start over!" Kaoru said once we reached the school. Stepping in to the school yard, I put my finger on my chin.
"I guess...but why be so nice now?" Hikaru smacked my back (pretty hard, too) and grinned.
"Why shouldn't we be nice?" He asked. I shrugged, and agreed to start over.
"As long as I don't have to come to the Host club room again..." They smiled behind me, little did I know, and began a mental scheme to get me back.
