Hey y'all! So I'm not dead.

I don't own OHSHC

Sorry for the long wait and short chapter...

Let's get started shall we?

Cold Hearted Royalty

Walking to the third music room of Ouran Academy, I got a nasty feeling that something bad was going to happen. Putting my guard up ten fold, I pushed open the double doors the the Host club room. As soon as the doors were open, I could see Haruhi sitting with the host boys around a coffee table surrounded by couches. Instantly I could tell she told them about what little she knew about me… How could I tell you ask? Well when the Host club saw me the tall blonde one started to run towards me at full speed with his arms open, as if he were going to hug me…

Side stepping the high speed blonde I turn my glare to the downed blonde. Seemingly unfazed by face-planting the wall the blonde turned to me and started to speak.

"My dear princess! Needn't fear, for you are now safe here in my arms" - he tried to hug me again, and again I side stepped him- "I, your prince in shining armor will protect you from the evils of your past!" Reaching for my hand, blondie got down on one knee as if he were going to kiss my hand.

"Hate to burst your bubble, but shut up. I never have and never will need a 'prince in shining armor'. I ain't no cinderella, so cut the crap. You're just an annoying french fry that needs to pull his head out of the clouds; and on that note, Haruhi lets go." I said with my glare intensifying with every word… Turning around I start walking out of the god forsaken Host Club room I get stopped by the red headed twerps… I mean twins…

"Mel-san" The twins sang with creepy cheshire cat grins, "Why don't you stay? We would love to get to know you better?" The twins finished while slithering closer to me.

"No" my glare intensifies.

"Why not?" the twerps refused to back down.

"You annoy me" I reply. Haruhi decided that now would be a good time to cut in before someone, other than the french fry, got hurt.

"Hold it! Mel they just want to help you like dad and I. Hikaru, Kaoru, Tamaki-sempai, Kyouya-sempai, Hani-sempai and Mori-sempai you all need to remember that not everyone in the real world are like the girls here at Ouran." Haruhi said in like one breath. The twerps and the tall blonde visibly deflated while the other three looked impassive. I'm not sure what my face looked like but I can tell you it wasn't a happy look.

"I'm just here to take you home, not make nice," I pause and turn my glare to every person, even Haruhi, in the room "I especially don't intend on being civil with people who would rather see people like me dead," I finish.

"But, Mel-chan! We don't want you dead! We just want to be your friends!" the small bunny kid says.

"no, I don't 'do' friends" I reply with a snarl. Taking a deep breath to calm my nerves I continue "now if that is all, Haruhi, it's time to go."

I could feel their stairs on my as I walked out of the room waiting for Haruhi. It was about ten minutes before Haruhi emerged from the room. There was a tense silence between us while we walked out of the school and to the bus stop. Coming to a stop, still keeping my gaze straight in front of me I try to find the words that I wish to say.

"I'm sorry for blowing up back there," a deep breath, "It's just people like them, people with money have never treated me kindly," pause, "I…- I don't know how to act around people… you and your father are the first people to ever treat me kindly…so sorry…" I finished kind of lamely. There were a few long seconds before Haruhi finally spoke up.

"It's okay, I understand where you're coming from, and I'm glad you shared your feelings with me and apologized…" she paused "but you still should say sorry to them, they were only trying to be nice," she finished just as the bus pulls up. We don't speak on the bus, the train or on the walk to the Fujioka's home. The silence isn't awkward but it is a bit unsettling… for me anyway… It looks like If I wan't the Fujioka's to keep being nice to me then I'm going to have to play nice with Haruhi's club mates…..well damn it all!
