so I kinda hate my entire story and now that it's summer and I have no life... I'm ganna re-do this... Here's the new chapter one
Disclaimer:I own nothing... sadly...
It had been my dream to walk the halls of Ouran Academy. My dream to sit in the third story Library and read to my hearts content. I wished with all my heart I could meet the one person who could swoon any woman yet be the most obnoxious being on this Earth. To stare back at the emotionless giant and eat sweets with his small cousin. To play tricks with the evil redheads and get away with it. To cook with the only brunette of the group of young men for friends. Or to E-Chat with the Shadow King.
But I couldn't.
Why? Cause their Manga, not the real world I live in. I wished upon a star every night just to give me one day with the group of young men.
And today is that day.
I was sitting in the park; legs crossed, my dark brown hair blowing in the rapid wind, book in hand. I had a pair of tripps and a 'Breaking Benjamin' T-shirt on, as well as a studded bracelet and a black choker. I had my black sweatshirt on the back of the bench for comfort as my brown eyes filled with tears as I read the printed pages of a Jane Austen classic.
"Brenda, It's time to go home." I look up and sigh when I see my mother holding hands with my 4 year old brother.
"Yes, ma'am." I folded the ear of the page then stood, grabbed my sweatshirt and walked after her.
I felt a strange puling sensation towards the woods beside me a while after I got up from the bench. I held my book to my chest and wished again to meet the one group of men who devoted their High School careers to making women happy.
That was what I dreamed about every night, just meeting them and possibly even falling in and out of love. But I knew this was impossible because of their obvious nonexistence. I ran up to my mother and told her I was going to stay at the park and I'll walk home.
She agreed and walked on. I turned back to that one spot on the edge of the woods.
I stepped through the bushes and disappeared into the forest. Step after step I found myself where I couldn't see the light from the park. I grabbed onto a low branch and stepped over the knee-high roots of a tree. They were so close in here. The trees.
I kept on, trying to get to that place where it felt like I needed to be there. I walked on and on until a open space came into sight. It was an open field in the middle of the forest. I held my book between my knees as I pulled my sweatshirt over my band tee and flipped the hood over my head. I grabbed the book once more and held it to my chest when I saw -out of nowhere- a bolt of light engulfing me with it.
I woke up probably hours later in a garden, filled with beautiful roses. I stood and started exploring the luxurious gardens.
"Hello?" I turned to see a boy dressed in a light blue blazer and black pants, he had black hair and onyx eyes hidden behind thin glasses.
"Hi." I spoke in almost a whisper. It was happening, I was in the world of Ouran.
"Have you seen a blonde idiot around?" He looked around waiting for my answer.
"You mean Souh-san?" He nodded and I shook my head. He pursed his lips in question and pulled a card out from his breast pocket and handed it to me.
"Here, come here in an hour." I flushed and grabbed the card -though I wouldn't be needing it.
"K."
I nearly fainted when he walked away. I couldn't believe my eyes, I was in the garden at Ouran Academy. I just met Kyouya Ootori. And I was going to met the entire Host Club in an hour. I fell to my knees and tried to wrap my head around the concept of me meeting the Ouran High School Host Club.
I breathed in and stood walking to the North building towards the Third Music Room.
I walked up the stairs but never entered, instead I walked into the Second Music Room and found a wide selection of instruments. I found a dark wood cello and sat, putting the instrument between my legs and grasping the bow. I lead the bow across the strings a few times before I started to play.
Bach, Prelude No. 5. It was played over and over again but with each time more emotion and more love for the actual feeling of playing the song. It comes naturally to me, I could pick up a flute or clarinet and play the same song. It was never about the difficulty of the song but finding the perfect instrument to go with the song. And the cello was the best match.
By the time an hour rolled around I had played the prelude on the cello, piano, flute, clarinet and an oboe. I moved back to the piano and started up a different song. Moonlight Sonata. It was my favorite song to play with a Baldwin grand piano.
I stopped and slammed down on the keys. Even though this was my favorite song to play I hated what it meant. A man falling in love and never getting the chance to tell her how he felt before he died. I stood up and walked out of this Music room to the other one. I opened the door to the hall and to my surprise six men a one lady stood outside the door listening in on my playing.
"H-how long have you been standing out here?" Tamaki got closer to me and grabbed onto my hands pulling me closer to him.
"When you stopped playing the flute and started on the oboe. Your magnificent."
"Um... Th-thank you?" He dragged me from the room and into the Third Music Room next door.
We entered the room and he sat me down in a expensive red velvet chair.
I couldn't believe my eyes when he sat down across me and started talking something about me and the Host Club. It was like my dreams had came to life when he walked around the room talking about me joing the Host Club.
Wait... WHAT?
"What?" I stood from the chair and he stopped his speech.
"I want you to join the Host Club. You can be a host and everything." I looked down and studied my semi-round-chest and long brown-ish black hair. I smiled and accepted.
"Sure, if thats ok with you but three problems. I'm not a student, I don't have a uniform and I'm kinda a girl."
Tamaki grinned and said, "Well, I knew you were a girl! My gosh who do you take me for? I meant for you to join as our first Female Hostess!"
"Um, No thanks." Tamaki went instatly over to his corner of woe and the twins came over a wrapped their arms around me. I glanced over to Mori and Hunny enjoying cake, then over to Kyouya typing on his laptop, then over to Haruhi cleaning off tables.
"Well, that was harsh..."
"...all he wanted was to have another play thing."
"Don't you care about Tamaki's sake?"
I looked down, rubbing the cover of y book, my mother bought me. "...it's my sake I'm worried about." I bit my lip and unwrapped myself from the twin's grasp.
I walked over to Tamaki and crouched down by him. "Tamaki, I need a uniform if I'm going to be a Host." I smiled to him and giggled when he patted my head and walked over to Kyouya.
They chatted for a bit then Tamaki walked back over and held out his hand to me. I stared at the prefect for what had seemed like ages but I finally grab onto it and he pulls me up and drags me into the backroom and into one of the changing rooms. He hands me a uniform and says, "I hope it fits," then walks away. I bit my lip again and got undressed.
I pulled my shirt over my head and folded it on a chair. I pushed down my pants and folded them on the chair. I opened the bag and took out the slip and and pulled it over my shoulders. I snaked my arms through the small spaghetti straps and buttoned a single small button at the bust. My fingers pulled the snaps on my studded bracelet but they stood their ground. I walked out of the room. I walked over to the nearest male, which had ended up to be Mori and I asked him to undo my bracelet. He stood from his chair and knelt before me grabbing my wrist and unsnapping my leather bracelet. He looked up to me and handed me my bracelet. I smiled and thanked him as I walked back to the room.
I pushed my way through the curtains and continued to change into the uniform. I dug in the bag and pulled out the huge ugly yellow dress and dreadfully put it on and fitting into the plain brown shoes. Finally pulling out the tie, I walked out and held the tie in my hands just looking at it.
I always hated ties, it was difficult and plain just a pain in the ass. It was really only a bow... But I still hated tieing things.
Mori came up to me and grabbed the tie from my hands and wrapped the fabric around my neck and tied it for me. As his hands pulled and tugged at my collar I could feel my face heating up. When he finished I whispered a 'thank you' and he returned the favor by patting my head.
The moment Mori walked away Tamaki came rushing up to me and glumped me with hugs.
I just stood there as he killed me with his enthusiasm. He eventually stopped realizing that I was no longer breathing.
He released me and I fell to the ground gasping for air. he tried to come to my aid but I stuck a finger in his face telling him to wait.
I breathed and coughed until I was stable enough to stand.
"I'm so sorry... um, what did you say your name was?" I stopped and looked up to him.
"OH! Ah.. My names Brenda." I half smiled at him.
"That's an... interesting name. Where are you from exactly?" Hikaru and Karou gathered around us.
"Minnesota." I told them.
"Where's Minnesota?" Karou asked.
"It's on the border of Canada and the U.S. by the Great Lakes." As if I had asked them all to come, the whole club was huddled around me staring in wonder.
"Wow, If your next to Canada then it must be really cold there right, Bren-chan?" Hunny came up behind me with his Usa-chan.
"Not really the coldest I've ever experienced is 60 degrees Fahrenheit below." They all gasped, even Kyouya had a look of distaste on. "It's really not all that cold. I went outside with a pair of capri's, a long sleeve T-shirt, and a pair of rain boots in the middle of a snow storm to take out the trash." The room filled with worry and noise when they heard of my 'heroic deed'.
"Bren-chan, how can you live like that? I couldn't even walk outside in the winter with out my coat. You must've been freezing!" I just shook my head and shrugged.
Then out of nowhere Tamaki got really close and was screaming in my ear, "Brenda, it is the Host Clubs job to make every girl happy and I think you need the Host Club to make you happy."
"Why don't you think I'm happy?" Tamaki scooted closer to me and whispered in my ear.
I had forgotten all about the knee length socks and raced back and slipped them on. I hurried back and noticed everyone staring at me funny.
"What is it?"
"Kyouya read off your profile." Hikaru said plainly.
"Wait so if your a freshman in a American school then your a middle schooler here." Haruhi spoke up.
"Really? Well it's summer there so I was a freshman but when I return to school then I will be in 10th grade."
There was along pause of nothing really to say, so I intervened.
"So, what's all this nonsense about me joining the Host Club? Isn't there a problem that I'm a girl, I mean I know Haruhi can pull it off but I'm suppose to be a middle schooler and this is the Ouran HIGH School Host Club." I smiled and looked back up to Tamaki for answers.
"Well, being that you are in your summer break, Ouran can place you in the Shadow system." Kyouya told us then went back to writing in his notebook
"What's a 'Shadow system'?"
"You follow a student around for a day or a month or how ever long and you'll get those days put on your student record as a good mark of course." He smirked and wrote something down.
"So, I could follow you guys for how ever long or until I go back home?" Home... I didn't really want to go back home.
"Exactly, you could follow any of us. Preferably the twins or Haruhi because of your age. Or because of your intelligence level I would gladly be your escort." His smile made me shiver.
"That would be lovely." I smiled back. "But, do I not need to be signed up for the Shadow system?" I walked up to Kyouya only a few feet in front of him.
"Yes, would you like to join me to a trip to the office?" Kyouya shut his book and held out his arm to me.
I took it and he escorted me to the office.
The walk was slow and long. I asked him simple questions and he answered in mostly plain language but I had to stop and ask about a few words which made me blush and stumble over my feet. We passed a few female students and I questioned if we should be standing so close and he simply said, "It's fine."
We arrived at the office and he signed me up for the Shadow System as his personal Shadow until the new year.
On your way back I asked Kyouya, "What is your merit for escorting me to and from the office?" I stopped, stopping him along with me.
"I was making sure our new Host didn't get lost." He smiled his fake smile.
"Kyouya. I want to know why you know so much about a commoner like me."
"Because dear Brenda, my father is interested in your uncles Concrete Company. As in he wants to build a chain of hospitals in America. He, my father, wanted me to get close to your uncle Robert's-"
"Bob." I interrupted.
"What?"
"My uncles name is Bob not Robert. It's on his Birth Certificate and everything."
"Oh, well anyways. To your uncle Bob's niece, or you. He said that you and your uncle were close and because we are relatively close in age he thought it best that I befriend you."
"Ah." I said then grabbed his hand and walked back to the Host room.
We walked in and one question was asked by Tamaki, "Brenda, do you have a place to stay tonight?"
"She's staying with me Tamaki, her uncle called my father this morning and ask if his niece could stay with us for a while." Kyouya spoke up next to me.
"Ok... So, I think were done here today. So can everyone can go."
Kyouya gather his stuff and I gathered mine. He grabbed my hand and pulled me to the car. Hand in hand.
