Chapter 1: New Student

"Well, here I go." I arrived at Ouran Academy and met up with the Class President. His name was Souga Kazukiyo. He told me that I would be in Class 1-A.

Well, you might want to get to know me, my name's Kinomoto Hanako. I have long luscious brown hair. My pools of amber eyes are one of my best features. I hide them with my big rimmed glasses because I hate getting attention. I moved to Japan alone because my parents are busy in America. The company is called the Kinomoto Industries. We are in the medical department and the technology department, too. The company is worldwide so, sometimes my parents have to travel. They said they will be with me before Christmas which I doubt that. They are very VERY busy so, I'm alone with the exception of my personal maid, Hanakino Mika, which I think of her as a second mother. I have to live with a host family until Christmas so, I won't be alone, but I still think I'm alone. I still need to meet my host family so; I'll meet them after school. Enough about me, let's go back to the story.

"Please enjoy Ouran. If need a tour of the place, don't hesitate to call me or Kurakano Momoka, our Class Vice-President. Please follow me." Souga-san said.

He led to me to Class 1-A and told me to wait outside. I waited for a few minutes when Souga-san came to get me. He appeared next to me and told me to go inside the classroom.

"Welcome Kinomoto-san. It's a pleasure to have you in our class." the teacher said. I was a bit nervous about being a new student. I've never been transferred to a new school before. "Please introduce yourself."

"Hello, my name is Kinomoto Hanako. I just moved from America but, my Japanese is fluent. I wish to get to know everyone in the near future. I know this is disrespectful, but I do not take highly of people I do not like. Please treat me kindly. Thank you." I bowed down to give a first good impression, which I made into a threat, at my first day.

I was very nervous when I introduced myself. 'I hope I would enjoy my new school...'

"Thank you, Kinomoto-san." The teacher said, "Please take a seat between the Hitachiin twins. Hitachiin-sans, please raise your hands so, she could find her way to her seat."

Two red-haired (or is it red-orange?) raised their hands. I walked towards them and sat on the empty seat between them. "Hi, I'm Hikaru..." the twin on the right said, "...and I'm Karou." the twin on the left said. "Pleased to meet you!" Both twins said it at the same time. 'Oh no...I know I'm not gonna like them. They're annoying.'

"Hello Hitachiin-sans, pleased to meet you too." I greeted back. The teacher soon started teaching his class. It's Algebra, one of my worst subjects. 'I can't do Algebra! I failed in America so; I got in trouble with my parents. I wanna pass this subject!!'

The class flew by fast and was now time for lunch. I heard the clock tower ring 2 times signaling lunch. I packed all my things and was heading towards the door when the twins grabbed both my arms. "What the-?! What are you doing?" I yelled.

"We wanted to eat lunch with you." The twins chorused.

"No thanks. I'm eating my lunch ALONE." I stretched 'alone' so they would understand. "Aw...Hanako, you're no fun." The twin on my left, which I realized was Hikaru, said. "Yea, well, after-school come visit the 3rd Music Room, ok?" The twin on my right, which was Kaoru, said.

"I'll try, but I have to meet my host family after-school. Gomen." I apologized so, my attitude would lower down. The twins let go of me, bid goodbye and went on their way. I walked to the cherry blossom gardens where it was quiet and peaceful. I got out my bento which Mika made for me. I also got out my diary which my mom passed down to me like her mom passed it down to her. She says this would keep my emotions at balance, which I HIGHLY doubt that. I started writing on it as soon as I got it out.

March 22, Lunch Break-Ouran Academy, Cherry Blossom Gardens

Dear Diary,

Today was my first day in Ouran. I think my first impression was bad. I was so nervous! I made it into a threat message! I've made some friends here, though. I've met Souga-san and the Hitachiin twins. The twins, I've noticed, are annoying. I can tell from the way they talk. I already know I won't get along with them. I'm kinda happy though. At least I already have some friends. I miss my old friends in America. I also miss my parents. I wish they'll come home earlier but, I can't force them. I wonder what kind of people my host family will be. I hope they're nice-

I stopped when I heard someone. "Hello miss. I've never seen you around here. What's your name?" A blond guy with blue-purple eyes asked. I saw that he's a nice guy and a little bit older than me, maybe a junior or senior. 'From his accent, I say he's half-French. Let's see...'

"Bonjour, monsieur. Je m'appelle Kinomoto Hanako. Comment t'appelles-tu? (Hello, sir. My name is Kinomoto Hanako. What's your name?)" I asked in French.

I saw a surprised look on his face which changed to an impressed look.

"Ah...Tu parles francais, n'est-ce pas? Je m'appelle Suou Tamaki (Ah...You speak French, don't you? My name is Suou Tamaki)," He reaches for my hand and kissed it. "enchante (pleased to meet you)."

A small blush creeped onto my cheeks after he kissed my hand, "Oui, monsieur. Enchante." I replied.

"So, Kinomoto-san, what brings you here to our beautiful cherry blossom gardens?"

"Please, call me Hanako. I was trying to eat my bento and write in my diary when you showed up, Suou-senpai."

"Call me Tamaki. So, a bento huh? That's nice. Isn't it how a commoner eat?" Tamaki asked curiosly.

"Yes. I like my maid's cooking better than anything else. It's delicious! How 'bout you, what brings you here?" I asked.

"Well, I was taking a stroll around Ouran when I saw you. You must come to the 3rd Music Room after-school. You will come, right??" Pleaded Tamaki.

"I can try Tamaki-senpai. I have to meet my host family that I will be staying at until December. Gomen." I apologized. The clock tower rang 2 times signaling lunch break was over. I packed my bento, which I didn't eat, and my diary and stood up.

"Well, I gotta go Tamaki-senpai. I will try to come to the 3rd Music Room. Au revoir!" I waved goodbye and went on my way to class. As I walk to class, I bumped into a...elementary student wearing a high school student's uniform? Whoa, I must be losing my mind here.

"Ah, gomen! Are you ok? Ne ne, aren't you Kinomoto Hanako?" The little kid asked me. I was surprised at how he knew my name. 'How come he knew my name?!'

"Hai, how did you know my name?" I asked curiously. "Ah, so you are Hana-chan! YAY! Remember me, ne, ne?" I was starting to remember a distant memory...AH!

"Are you Haninozuka Mitskuni?" The little kid nodded. "Ah, Hun-Hun! I thought you were an elementary student!" I hugged him for awhile and let go. "Where's Takashi?"

"Takashi had to go to kendo club for an important meeting so, I'm meeting him in class. Come by the 3rd Music Room, k?" Honey asked with his pink flowers surrounding him.

"I wish I could go, Hun-Hun, but I'll try. Why everyone I meet wants me to go to the 3rd Music Room? What's so special about it?" I asked in confusion.

"I'm not telling. I want you to find out for yourself." Hun-Hun was keeping a secret, FROM ME! We tell everything! "Was the people that asked you to go a blond junior and red-head freshmen twins?" He asked.

"Yea, Tamaki-senpai and Hikaru and Kaoru. Hikaru and Kaoru are my classmates. I met Tamaki-senpai at lunch break. They asked me to go to the 3rd Music Room." I replied.

"Aw...Hika-chan, Kao-chan and Tama-chan got before me..." Hunny was nearing tears. "Don't worry Hun-Hun! I'll try to come to the 3rd Music Room. They're your friends that you were talking about online, right?" I was gonna be late for class so, I have to make this quick.

"Yup! They're my friends! I hope you get to come. Oops! Gotta go! Ja ne!" He rushed to the second third floor to where his class was. I was running to get to my class on time. Luck was with my side when I got to class on time.

"You got here just in time, Hanako." Kaoru said as I sat down.

"Well, I met someone on the way to class and on lunch break." I said as the teacher came inside.

"Class, we will have no more classes for the rest of the day due some specific reasons." Everyone was so happy, hearing that there are no more classes for the rest of the day.

"Have a good day everyone!" After the teacher said that, he left leaving us to think what we will do for the rest of the day.

"I'm gonna go visit the Host Club!" One girl exclaimed.

"Yea, I wanna see Tamaki-sama!" Another said.

"What's the Host Club?" The twins gave me an evil look that made me think, 'I don't want to know.'

"Why are you looking at me like that?" I was getting a bit scared just looking at their face now.

The twins grabbed my arms and yelled, "LET'S GO TO THE 3RD MUSIC ROOM!!!"

"WHAT?! Let go of me!" I shouted.

Both just ignored me and started to drag me to the 3rd Music Room. 'This will be the start of a WEIRD school year...'

DISCLAIMER: I wish I owned Ouran but sadly I do not have the rights to them. I only own my characters that I made.
