~~flashback~~ Okay Lovedie... Calm down... You're going to tell him how you feel, and if fate is on your side, he'll feel the same way! I walk into the woods, where we planned to meet. He was sitting on the trunk of the tree we had a treehouse in... until a thunderstorm came and struck the tree to the ground. The carcass of the treehouse still remains, but its kinda hard to get into at the moment.
"Hey, Drake."
"Why so solemn? You look like you're going to faint any second now."
"Oh... it's nothing... but I do in fact need to tell you something."
"Well," he scooted over and opened up his arms. "Come here and tell me all your reveries."
God, he's so amazing! I walk over and sit next to him on the stump. He puts his arms around me. "Drake..." I manage to whisper. Jeez, I'm so nervous! "Drake..." I breathe. "Drake. I... I love you." I look over at him. He was smiling at me.
"Dearest Lovedie, I've been yearning to be more than mates for years."
I smile. He gently pulls my face to his, and we kiss passionately. My first kiss!
Now you're probably wondering why this makes Drake so horrible. Well this is what happened not even a week later.
~~flashback~~ Yay! I can't wait to go to the park with Drake! .:at the park.
I make my way through the gates. Now where has my sweet Drake gone to? I look around and see his paleness pass by the fountain. I run over there, and hear him talking to someone.
"Oh, Drake! I love you so much!"
"I love you, too."
I walk around the fountain to find him kissing another girl just as passionately as he kisses me.
~~end flashback~~
So now, I now live in a frickin' amazing Japanese home! I know it seems drastic to move from the UK to Japan because of a guy, but my life sucked there anyways. Don't feel like explaining now. Maybe it'll come up later. At any rate, I'm now getting ready for my new school: Ouran Academy. "I'm off to school, Grandmother."
"Have a good first day!" she says in her shaky voice.
When I arive at the school, I am completely shocked. It is so huge! Seriously! It's bigger than... I don't know what it's bigger than but it's bigger than a lot of things! My homeroom... Class 1-A. Okay here I go!
"Fujioka, Haruhi."
"Here." a brown-haired boy raises his hand. Wow, he's so cute!
"Hitachiin, Hikaru?"
"Here!" two voices say in unison. I look to my side, and they're twins!
"Well, I guess that means Kaoru's here as well."
The teacher... er... sensei goes through the rest of the role, then she comes to my name."
"Akahana, Lovedie? That's a new name. Where is this Akahana-san?"
I raise my hand. "Here." "You have an interesting name... You're first name is Old English and means 'day of reconcilation', yet you're last name is Japanese and means 'red rose'. Very interesting... but nonetheless... Welcome, Lovedie, to class 1-A!"
"Thank you."
Sensei taught the lesson, then we had time to talk. The twins and brown-haired boy, Haruhi, came to my desk.
"Hello there, sweet Lovedie." one of the twins said in a light, sweet voice to my left. "I'm Kaoru."
"And I'm Hikaru." the other twin said from my right. They each whispered in my ear at once, "we hope to become good friends as the year goes on."
I could feel my cheeks getting warm. "Come on guys, she's just arrived. Why take to her so quickly?" Haruhi asked. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Lovedie." he said with a smile.
"Hello, there."
"So. You're from the UK?" Kaoru, who has his hair parted on the right, asked.
"Yes."
"You're accent is so cute. Absolutely adorable." Hikaru, having his hair parted on the left, remarked.
"Why, thank you, Hitachiin-kun."
"Now now, my dear." Hikaru started.
"There is no need for someone as cute as you to call us by our surname, Love-chan." Kaoru finished.
Haruhi sighed.
"Do you have a problem, Haruhi?" the twins asked.
"Not really. I'm just remembering when you used to call me Haru-chan. Well, Honey-senpai still does... but still."
"But Haruhi, you're so cute and short! Just as Love-chan is! She's five feet tall, just like you!"
The conversation kept going on about my height... Sigh... Once we get to free period, I planned on studying in one of the libraries (Hikaru, Kaoru, and Haruhi had to leave to my disappointment), but all four library rooms were so noisy! So I go to the bathroom to fix my hair. It was tangled, which is very noticable when you have short hair. I brushed my short black hair until it was perfect, er... as perfect as it could get. I walked out the bathroom, just to be pushed against a wall by a random girl with a bandana over her mouth!
"So you're the new kid, huh? Well just so you know, me and my gang will destroy you if you ever cross us again!" she pushed me down.
"Well that was a bit random..." I say to myself. I walk around the school and find an abandoned music room. "Wonder whats in here...?" All of a sudden Hikaru and Kaoru come out the room and spill coffee all over me!
"Oh! I'm so sorry!" Kaoru says.
"It's fine."
"Follow us. We'll get you changed." Hikaru says. they each grab my hands and lead me to to the changing room. "Change into this uniform!" they say in unison, throwing a boys' uniform over the curtains.
"What? Wait, this is a boys' uniform!"
"We'll explain as you change!" they say.
"You see, we want to play a trick on our boss, Tamaki." Hikaru says.
"He's a second year, and won't know about your gender." Kaoru continues.
"Since you have short hair and strong bone structure, along with an extreme flat chest, you'd be able to pass as a boy." Hikaru adds.
"And so, we want you to join our club, as a boy. No one will know your name is a girls' name because it's Old English." Kaoru explains.
I open the curtain. "So what's this have to do with me crossdressing?"
"Aren't you the cutest!" they say in unison, grabbing my hands once again and leading me to the abandoned music room.
"Good thing you couldn't afford a school uniform!" Kaoru says.
"You'll get along with Haruhi, now won't you?" Hikaru adds.
They open the doors to the music room, to reveal a group of boys on dates!
"Hey boss! We have a new member to the host club!" the twins say in unison.
"What? Host club?" I gasped.
A tall blonde boy walked up to us. He had amazingly blue eyes, maybe he's from Europe like me? He's gorgeous, I can see why he'd be the boss of this host club. "Hello! My name is Tamaki Suoh! It's nice to meet you!" he said with a light, clear voice and held out his hand for me to shake.
"Pleased to meet you. I'm Lovedie Akahana." I shook his hand.
He gasped and widened his eyes. "Y-yo-you. You're so cute, Love-chan!!!" he exclaimed as he lifted me and hugged me close.
"Umm, senpai? Could you please put me down?"
He stopped. Paused, then put me down. "Yes, yes. Please excuse my outburst." I could hear the twins giggling behind me. Haruhi was behind Tamaki, shaking his head and sighing. I could see a boy about Tamaki's age turned around and writing in his notebook. There was an extremely tall, dark-haired stoic guy with a little blonde boy that looked like he could be in elementary school on his shoulders (although he was wearing a high school uniform...?). I looked back at Tamaki. "Welcome to the Ouran High School Host Club, Lovedie Akahana."
Find out what Lovedie's first day on the job will be like in the next instalment of "My Life As An English Host"
