He never smiled that way with me. The moment they met, my heart broke.
"Excuse me, miss, we were wondering if I could have the center seat, so I can sit next to my boyfriend." A young lady asked.
I smiled, "sure."
The whole way to Japan, They were laughing at each others jokes, kissing, and smiling at each other.
I felt a pang in my heart, remembering how that could have been me.
The girl got up to go to the restroom, and the man leaned over to me.
"Could you give me an honest opinion on something?" He asked.
"Sure." I said
He pulled a small box out of his pocket, opening it. It was a very expensive looking diamond ring.
"Do you think she'll like it?" He asked
I looked him straight in the eye. "If she loved you, she would say yes if you proposed with a dandelion ring."
"You think so."
I nodded as she came to her seat as he replaced the box in his pocket.
Thanks he whispered before she sat.
I felt tears in my eyes, as the pang in my chest grew larger and more painful.
When I was finally able to get off the plane I grabbed my bag and headed for the apartment I was renting.
I turned my ipod on shuffle.
\\I want you to know, that I'm happy for youI wish nothing but the best for you both\\
How ironic. Really, it's so fucking funny.
I hit the next button before I hailed a cab to my apartment.
As I was walking up I ran into a girl about my age.
"I'm sorry!" I said pulling my headphones out and helping her pick up her stuff.
"It's all right, no harm done." She said.
I picked up a piece of paper and glanced at her curiously.
"You go to Ouran?" I asked her she smiled proudly.
"Uh-huh"
"I'm starting there Monday, class 1-A."
"Really? Are you on a scholarship?" She asked.
"Yeah." I lied.
"Cool! Maybe Tamaki senpai will leave me be for a while."
I looked at her questioningly.
"I'm Fujioka, Haruhi by the way."
"I'm Potter, Maria. Pleased to meet you."
"Oh! You just moved in next door!"
"Yes it appears I have, would you and your family care to have dinner at my apartment?" I really wanted to get to know the people living around me, an old instinct that never went away.
"We'd love to!" She said, "I'll tell my dad. What about your parents."
"I don't talk to them. My godfather is coming tonight, hopefully before dinner."
"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know."
It's alright. Are you going to Ouran now? Do you mind if I go, so I know the way. I'm supposed to get a tour anyway." I said smiling.
"Sure! I don't mind." She said.
**********Narrator*******
"A new student?" Tamaki asked excitedly.
"Yes, and we are to show her around Ouran. Please be polite." Kyoya said pointedly to the twins and Tamaki.
Kyoya fidgeted slightly.
He couldn't find a background on her.
He found her academic record.
Her age, date of birth, and birthplace.
Nothing else.
He didn't know who her parents were. How rich she was, unless she was a scholarship, her grades were definitely good enough for that.
"She's from England; she speaks fluent French, Japanese, and English." He said.
"Tamaki, she was born in France, but please, do not pester her." Kyoya said, knowing Tamaki would find out about her nationality sooner or later.
Kyoya looked at the clock.
"She'll be here any minuet, let's go." He noticed the twins' mischievous smiles.
"No funny business." He said to the twins coolly.
"Harui's late again! My little Girl!" Tamaki cried, over-dramatically.
The club members chose to ignore him.
"Takashi!" Hunny said happily, "Do you think we'll be friends with the new girl?"
"Yeah." Mori said to the small boy on his shoulders.
The Hitachin twins whispered mischievously behind the rest.
Maria and Haruhi were exiting the main office when the host club came into view.
"Urghh…" Haruhi groaned. Maria smiled. So this girl had to act like a boy.
"Haruhi! My darling!" Tamaki yelled happily. He stopped when he saw Maria. "Who is this?" He said lifting her hand and kissing it delicately.
"Potter, Maria, pleased to meet you. I'm assuming you are Tamaki, Haruhi told me so much about you."
"Really! She talks about her daddy?" He said hugging Haruhi tightly.
"Do you want to hold my Usa-Chan?" Hunny said excitedly.
"How cute!" Maria smiled. She was not over- dramatic about it, nor did she completely ignore it.
"We are the Ouran Host club; I'm Ohtori, Kyoya, pleased to meet you. I see you already met Haruhi; they are The Hitachiin twins, Hikaru and Koaru," He pointed to the twins who reminded Maria of Fred and George, "That is Haninozuka, Mitsukuni, also known as Hunny, And Morinozua, Takashi, Also known as Mori."
"Why is Haruhi in your club, I thought host clubs were for boys?"
"Haruhi is a b-"
"I'm not stupid. I won't tell anyone, I was just wondering. You won't know if you don't ask."
She smiled before glancing at Haruhi who looked shocked.
"Now, it's not that bad, it's not like it's the end of the world or anything. Really, I won't tell anyone, who will I tell it to?"
"Well, we are putting our faith in you to keep your promise in keeping this secret." Kyoya said looking at her intently.
"Oh, I'm wonderful at secrets." She smirked, unfazed by Kyoya's stare, Which, Maria thought, Could put Malfoy to shame.
"I see." Kyoya said coolly, as the twins and the others watched them silently.
"Well, Could I have a tour? I still have some unpacking to do back home." She smiled at Kyoya; she knew how much he liked to know things about people.
She knew how much it agitated him he didn't know as much as he could about her.
She didn't like how she knew so little about him.
"Hunny-sempai, Mori-sempai, your fighting skills are amazing, my friend, she's always looked up to you." Maria smiled again, totally ignoring Kyoya's stare.
"Really! Maybe if she comes to visit you, we can meet them!" Hunny said excitedly.
"Yeah, she'd like that." Maria mused.
"Well, let's move on with the tour." Kyoya said smiling.
He was nervous, the twins had been silent, and normally he wouldn't care.
He didn't know why he cared. 'I don't.' He told himself.
They had nearly finished the tour, saving the host club for last.
It was nearly time to open the host club, when they entered the room.
"A Piano!" Maria cried as she entered the music room.
"You play?" Tamaki asked from beside her.
"I love to play. Music is everything to me. I write my own mostly." She said.
"Care to show us?" Tamaki asked.
"I'd love to…I mean if your sure…I'm not that good." Maria said blushing lightly.
"I'm positive. Go on."
She sat down and started to play a melody.
After a couple of moments she started to sing.
"Mirror, mirror, on the wall, have I got it?
'Cause Mirror you've always told me,
Who I am,
I'm finding it's not easy to be perfect,
So sorry you don't define me,
Sorry you don't own me,
Who are you to tell me,
That I'm less then what I should be,
Who are you?
Who are you?
Yeah yeah,
I don't need to listen,
To the list of things I should do,
I won't try, I won't try,
Mirror I am seeing,
A new reflection,
I'm looking into the eyes,
Of who he made me,
Who are you to tell me,
I'm less then what I should be?
I don't need to listen,
To the list of things I should do,
I won't try, I won't try,
You don't define me,
You don't define me.
(Song: Mirror by Barlowgirl.)
She stopped playing.
"That was like, Tamaki's playing." Kyoya said, looking at the mall girl that sat at the piano.
"Beautiful." Tamaki smiled. Maria blushed.
"I best be going. I have unpacking to do." She said.
"I'll se you later Haruhi."
"Hey, I can come over later if you need help with dinner or unpacking." Haruhi said smiling.
"Thanks. I'd appreciate it." Maria said as she excited the club room.
The Hitachiin twins eyed Haruhi.
As the final bell rang, the twins set there plan in motion.
HI! Okay, it's my first Ouran Fic, please don't hate…it makes me sad.
Anyway, I really can't decide who should be a couple.
You vote.
