"Oh dear, dear, dear…." I hear Mizume say to herself as she dashes around my room looking for my shoes. "Ms. Natsuki, you cannot do this every day." She pleads while searching under my bed.
"Fine. We should be leaving right now anyways; I don't want you to make me late." I sigh. I take my shoe from beneath the pillow I was sitting on and place it on my feet.
"NATSUKI!" She cries, while I merely return a polite smile. We quickly set off to Ouran Academy, in hopes I am not late.
"You know you aren't too kind my lady." Mizume says as I leave the very expensive vehicle.
"Yes, but your life would be for more boring without me." I smile and she can't help but return it. When she drives off I take a deep breath in and am ready to start my day. Though this one is highly unlikely to be different from the other days, everything at this school is routine, sadly without adventure. Besides the girl that sits next to me in math that everyone takes for a boy.
"Hello Haruhi." I say as I sit next to her.
"Hi Tohru, did you study for the quiz?" I simply stare at her blankly.
"There is a quiz?!" I slid into my chair and stare at her pitifully.
"I take that as a no." her eye twitches.
"Oh don't look at me like that; you are the smart one here." I reply which makes her judge me a little less. I already know Haruhi thinks little of the students here, she is a really bright girl, just she has a tendency to judge.
"Okay class now get a pencil and I will be passing out the tests." Our smiley teacher says while smiling.
"Oh but Mrs. Oka, You didn't tell us there was a test today." A girl sitting behind me whines.
"That is true." One of the Hitachiin twins sighs.
"Yeah Mrs. Oka, you said we were having a quiz today." The other one says
"You never said anything about a test." They both finish the sentence together, with a sinister smile. The teacher scrambles for an answer forcing a smile.
"Oh, well they are the same thing after-"
"It's not right to give false information to students."
"Yeah, since you did lie to us you should post pone the test until tomorrow." She just stares at the twins, smiling, with a sweat mark appearing on her forehead.
"I suppose that can be arranged." Her voice quivers and even though I am not looking at the twins I can feel their mischievous smiles behind me. The rest of the class period complied of simple math with little interruptions.
"The students here really have a lot of leeway on the teachers don't they?" Haruhi asks as she puts her notepad in her bag.
"Well considering all the money their families have. Yes." I reply. I pack all my stuff and wait for Haruhi to finish.
"I don't mean to sound straight forward but how much family does your family have?" she asks as she pushes up her glasses. I tilt my head and try to recall the total amount of money I have in my name.
"You know I'm not completely sure. I don't really keep track of it." I can see her begin to smile a bit but I can't stop myself from saying what is already on my tongue, "but it sure is a vast amount." Her smile fades into that irritated look she usually makes when a rich person talks.
"Well bye Haruhi, have a nice day." I smile then leave her to go to her next class. I go off on my own, which is pretty typical considering Haruhi likes to study alone during this time, while I despise the act of studying, but I rather be alone reading manga then sitting with loud clueless girls. Haruhi is really the only person who I can stand, and I think she thinks I'm fine as well. As I am walking towards my normal reading place I run into a wall.
"Oh." I mutter. I often have my nose in a book or manga, but never have I actually run into anything. I stand there with my head against the wall feeling the pulsing pain in my head. I become extremely embarrassed when I hear someone clear their throat behind me. I quickly try to move away without looking at this person, but fail.
"Princess don't run away." This stranger grasps my hand and turns me around to face him. I am completely taken back, I must have seen this kid before but when I am this close to his face I can't remember a thing. He has blue eyes that are luring me into a sense of security, and he has a perfect smile that is making me feel like my head never even hurt in the first place.
"Um… yeah." Is all I can say when looking at his face. His body is pressed against mine and I can't seem to breathe, because of the thick scent of roses originating from his chest.
"You don't need to say anything dear. I am here for you." He smiles
"Thanks…." I try to back away from him to regain my thoughts but I can't. as sson as I back away he presses closer and grabs both my hands.
"What lovely green eyes you have." He says as he moves my hair out of my face.
"Why don't you come by the Host Club so we can speak on a more intimate level." He moves his left hand around my waist and pulls me in closer, so we are literally one being.
"Host club?" I immediately snap out of the daze he put me under.
"Why yes princess." He laughs lightly
"The club where cute boys fawn over girls who pay for their services?" I say blankly
"Beautiful and smart."
"No thanks. I'm not too interested in a male brothel." I sigh as I move away from him, it wasn't as difficult as before. Not only am I no longer affected by his charm, but my remark has struck a certain part of him that made his entire body freeze.
"Bro-othel…." He muttered.
"Don't take offense to my remark. I'm sure your club is lovely." I smile trying to reassure the kid.
"It is lovely. It's a club that solely caters to ladies happiness." He says confidently clearly forgetting his despair from earlier.
"Well that's nice. You must be really kind. May I know your name?" I am being slightly sarcastic with the boy, but he clearly is too dense when he happens to be the subject of the matter.
"Oh you are too perfect my princess!" He says as he jumps and twirls me around. "My name is Tamaki Suo! And I am the prince of the Ouran High School Host Club!" He kneels down on one knee and kisses my thin hand.
"Pleasure to meet you Suo. I am Tohru." I can't help but smile at the silly boys reaction.
"Well Ms. Tohru, Hopefully one day you will decide to come visit the host club some time, I must be going now." He then rushes off his blonde hair bouncing. I laugh at the sight of Tamaki's playfulness and then return to my previous thoughts. Soul Eater Manga!
"So Ms. Natsuki, did you have a nice time at school today?" Mizume asks when I am getting ready for bed. She is brushing my black hair while I kick my legs under the chair.
"It was actually nice. I met a boy."
"a BOY! Tohru this is great!" She drops the brush in excitement.
"no no, nothing like that. Yes he was lovely, but he isn't the type of guy who would be interested in one girl. Plus, I wouldn't want to be with him. He just seems like a nice person." I yawn.
"I see." Mizume finishes with my hair then says her goodbyes and leaves me to sleep. The next morning couldn't be odder.
"Haruhi."
"Yes Tohru?" She asks looking at me as she always does; though the girls sitting behind us were looking at her in lust. Haruhi didn't look different from what she looked like yesterday, except for the face her hair was slightly different ad her glasses were off. I motioned for her to come closer to me so I could whisper in her ear.
"You do know you are wearing a boy's uniform." I whisper. As soon as I move away from her she bursts into laughter.
