Alex lugged his bags through the airport, blowing a strand of hair out of his face. His medium length, dark

brown hair tied back in a pony tail that fell just past his shoulder blades. His blueish brown eyes full of both

excitement and dread. He wore a ghost busters t-shirt under his light blue jacket, and a pair of jeans

His friends trailed behind him, also dressed in casual jeans and t-shirts, laughing.

"Still can't believe you actually got transferred to that school in japan!" Lorenzo said, his Spanish accent

thickening as it always did when he was excited.

"Yeah man, you gonna be moving to the land of lolli-manga!" George said, savoring the word 'lolli-manga'

"yeah and girls in uniforms!" Jabar added, his dreadlocks bouncing with each step

Alex rolled his eyes, "come on guys don't be stupid. I'm going to a private school, it's dignified."

"Oh, well, excuse us your most dignified-ness" Lorenzo said. he and the others mock-bowed.

"All hail his lordship the most high-"

Alex turned around and glowered, "You guys are embarrassing me!"

he turned his ticket over to the woman at the desk and made his way to the plane, putting his luggage on the

ramp, where it would be scanned and placed onto the plane.

His friends chuckled

"yo, man, seriously, we're gonna miss you."

"yeah you better not get too busy with the chica's that you forget to write us, hombre."

"Or web-cam us on your lap top."

Alex sighed, "I'm not gonna forget. Besides, I doubt Ouran Academy is gonna have a bunch of crazy girls..."

Only those with excellent social standing and those from filthy rich families, are lucky enough to spend their time

here at the elite private school, Ouran Academy... The Ouran Hostess Club is where the school lovliest girls with

too much time on their hands entertain boys who also have way too much time on their hands. Think of it as

Ouran Academy's elegant playground for the super-rich and Beautiful...

Alex woke up, hearing his alarm clock ring. slamming his hand on the off button, he trudged out of his new

room to the bathroom, brushing his teeth and getting ready for school. His 'parents', the family he had been

sent to live with for his duration in Japan, greeted him with smiles as he emerged from the bathroom,

dressed in tan shorts that went just above his knees, and a light blue shirt a few sizes too big , his hair-bow

however had snaped, so he had opted to brush it back as neat as he could.

"So, Alex, are you excited about going to your new school?" His 'dad' asked.

Alex shrugged, "I guess. I'm a little nervous."

"Oh, that's perfectly natural," his 'mom' said brushing one of his long strands of hair away from his face

"You just be yourself and I'm sure everyone will love you....You look pretty today," she added, giving him a

smile."

Alex rolled his eyes sighing.

Ouran Academy was nothing like he'd pictured.

It was bigger.

The school itself was huge, and there were so many people running around. The uniforms consisted of yellow

dresses for the girls, and blue jackets and slacks for the boys. He was the only one not wearing a uniform.

He tried to get through his classes without drawing much attention to himself. it was partially successful.

All the girls completely ignored him.

However, he did notice a few of the other boys giving him strange looks and whispering amongst themselves.

"Probably insulting me..." he thought to himself, "I should really get a uniform..."

needless to say, that by the end of the day, he felt pretty low. And amazed at how lightly these people took

their studies. Everyone just talked and joked and flirted and generally making WAY too much noise He needed

somewhere he could study without losing his concentration.

He wandered around, looking for somewhere he was sure no one would disturb him. He randomly selected a

door, Music room 6, at the end of the hall.

"Heh. maybe now I can get these assignments done..."

He reached for the handle, pushing open the door, unaware that he was about to change his life forever.
