Chapter 1
I woke up earlier that morning, I didn't want to wake up, but I had too, I had a meeting with the Headmaster Suoh. I had been going to Ouran schools since I started school. Amelia and I were diligent students, so this meeting made no sense to me. I had even already started my first year of high school, second in my year, but only second to my best friend. I took a show and got dressed. I figured since it would probably be a business like meeting I would dress in my slacks and button down, I also decided to wear my blazer and tie. To most, everyone I was a boy, only my parent and sister knew the truth, even my best friend Kyoya Ootori didn't know I was a girl. I finished dressing, brushed and styled my hair and went down to get breakfast. School had started a few days ago and I was excited to see all of my friends again, especially Kyoya I had always had a crush on him, but it was hard for me to tell him, because of the whole boy thing. I finished eating and went outside to find our driver waiting for me. I had told him the day before about the meeting, and knew if we left right now, he would have enough time to come back for Amelia.
Once we arrived at the school, I headed for the headmasters office.
"I am here to see the headmaster."
"Ah, yes. Mr. Sota, very good. I will tell him you are here." she totaled off. The secretary walked like a penguin, it was quite amusing to watch. A few minutes later she came back, "you can go in."
I got up and walked into the office, Headmaster Suoh was sitting behind his desk and greeted me as if I was a business associate.
"Ash very good to see you again." shaking my hand before we sat down.
"Good to see you again as well Sir."
"Now you're probably wondering why I have asked for this meeting. Well I have been considering potential ladies for my son to marry and I was considering you sister, how would that make you feel son?"
I looked puzzled for a moment. I knew the son of which the headmaster was speaking. Suoh Tamaki, the bumbling idiot that was also best friends with my dear sweet Kyoya. Amelia had met Tamaki quite a few times when I had an outing with Kyoya, not because our parents didn't trust Kyoya, but because they wanted time without us home. I looked at the headmaster, and said with the straightest face possible. "I would not have any issue with it Headmaster. I cannot however speak for Amelia."
"Very good. Now go on and head to class."
I walked down the hall of the school humming to myself, which reminded me that we had a concert in a week. I enjoyed the feel of being on stage, however for the sake of our freedom our parents made us wear disguises, granted for the fact that everyone thought I was a boy it did make the whole charade easier. We would spend every day after school up until the day of the show rehearsing, and getting everything ready. Though the Sota family was into refining and other Eco-friendly things since joining with Green Discovery, our parent loved that we had something we both loved, and shared that love. I really wanted to invite Kyoya, but that would be a little weird for me to invite him then not actually be there with him through the show. I was hopelessly in love with my best friend and couldn't bring myself to tell him any of the things I kept from him. One that I was a girl, which means I was lying to him our whole friendship, then about my feeling, then about the fact that I was a J-pop star.
~Kyoya~
I was sitting in class listening to Tamaki drone on and on about something. Tamaki was a very good friend, but he could be a complete idiot most of the time. I was listening mostly and wondering where my saving grace was, my other best friend, Ash Sota. His twin was here so it was puzzling as to where Ash had not arrived. I had known Ash far longer than Tamaki, but as of recently Ash has been getting confusing for my. I knew Ash was male, but something about Ash made me feel different, and confused. Recently I had started to develop feelings for Ash. I was certain all my life I liked girls, but something in Ash just sparked something inside that made no sense at all, unless Ash was secretly a girl. As I pondered where my dear friend was this morning, Ash walked in humming a very famous J-pop song. I sighed with relief.
"Kyo what's up?" He said in that adorable yet girlie way he had the tendency to do
"Hello Ash, where have you been this morning?"
"Oh I had a meeting with the headmaster." Ash sat in his usual spot between his sister and me. Tamaki settled down a little when Ash came into the room. He had always had a calming effect on Tamaki, which I was very thankful for.
"So what did the headmaster want?"
"I can't really talk about it in certain company." Ash responded shooting a glance at both Tamaki and Amelia. I nodded and dropped it. I knew we would have plenty of time to talk about it later.
"So, Ash when are you going to join the host club?"
"Never Tamaki. I have told you I have things I have to do after school that the host club would interfere with. I can't and don't really want too."
"You wound me with your words"
"I don't really care Tamaki," and with that Ash turned away and ignored the dramatic blonde. Ash had short-cropped red hair, not ginger but a pretty red. It was deep, dark, and not damn near orange like the Hitachiin's, his eyes where an aqua color and his skin was a light cream color, and silky smooth. There were numerous night that he would stay at my place and vice versa, we would always share the bed.
~Amelia~
The day passed by, so quickly that I hardly noticed. During lunch, Ash and I went to one of the choir rooms to work on our songs. I enjoyed this very much, working on our music together was one of the few times it could be just me and Ash. All other times it was us and our parents or us and Kyoya and Tamaki, and the rest of their friends. I never got to go to the host club after school, but when Ash was invited to the weekend events; our parents made me go too. I had became friends with the twins because they love fashion just like me, where as I became friends with Hani-Senpi because well to put it simple we were both Loli. Naturally, me, being a Lolita, would be drawn to the loli-shota, and by this point was a friend with Mori-Senpi who was always with the two of us. I enjoyed the company of Hani-Senpi, and Mori-Senpi better than the twins, and tended to spend more time with them. I told myself that it was because of Hani, but as of late, it was starting to be because of Mori. There was just something about the way he would stand there and watch us play, that was endearing. I hadn't told my sister yet, but I believed I was beginning to have feelings for Mori. I didn't know if I should tell Ash since I knew she had her own love issues. I wanted to tell her though, we had no secrets. So on the way home that is just what I did.
"Hey Ash."
"Yes Amelia?"
"I think I have a crush on someone."
Ash quickly turned to me with interest on her face, and longing for the answer. I wondered for this brief instance how no one could tell she was a girl. She did like girly things, but I guess no one really noticed that.
~Ash~
I waited with anticipation as Amelia stared at me with a weird look on her face. 'Did the ding-bat forget what she was saying?' I wondered.
"Amelia! Who do you have a crush on?" I hoped like hell it wasn't Tamaki.
"Oh right," 'she did...' "Mori-Senpi."
I sighed in relief, "thank god. That's wonderful. He is awesome."
The limo stopped meaning we were home. The door opened and we got out. Jackson was always a good driver and also a loyal friend. Therefore, when we got out giggling, he just smiled.
"Good afternoon, Jackson. Thank you." Amelia said all bubbly as she skipped off towards the house.
"Thank you, Jackson. I will be going to school at the normal time tomorrow."
He nodded his head in response, and I followed my sister inside. Today was a costume day. We would be working on our look for the show. Therefore, the moment we got inside the room that we did all our music work in, it was only natural to see it covered in all different loli-clothes. The name of the act was the Loli Girls. Which I thought was somewhat funny considering Lolita meant girl...
~Takashi~
"Takashi! Takashi!" Mitsukuni said excitedly bouncing around me happily.
"Yes Mitsukuni?" I asked with a questioning look on my face.
Still bouncing Mitsukuni said, "I got a gift from someone."
I looked at him. "What is it, and who is it from?"
"There was no from who, but the note inside had this KAWAII little face on it, but the gift was tickets for the Loli Girls concert on Sunday."
I took the note from Mitsukuni and read this:
Haninozuka Mitsukuni-Senpi,
I would like to invite you to come see the Loli Girls
with your friends. Here are 7 tickets to the show just
in case. I hope to see you there
=^ _/\_ ^=
The note as written in pink on pink paper and was lightly scented. I thought the fragrance smelled familiar, I just couldn't quite place it. As we were headed to the club we passed the Sotas', and Amelia flipped her hair, I caught the scent of something, then it hit me the smell on the paper was Amelia. Why would Amelia give us tickets to the Loli Girls concert?
~Amelia~
We had just about finished the day's events. I had on a pink and white Lolita dress. It was beautiful, the front of the dress stopped just above my knees whereas the back stopped three inches from the ground. It was strapless and had lace at every edge. The fabric was very thin, but not in the see through kind of way. The dress itself was pink and the lace and trim was white. From the top of the dress to the waist white ribbon crisscrossed, the back of the dress actually laced up to cinch up the dress making it tight from bosom to waist. The collar was just a simple pink ribbon, with white lace. It also had long belled sleeves that were held on at the bicep. The headpiece was just like the collar, however in the center of it there was a red heart. Now Ash's dress looked just like mine except the pink was dark purple, and the white was black on hers. She was a Gothic Lolita, even her headpiece was gothic, and the heart had two white bones crossing in front of it. Our stylist Sylvia had finished my hair which was penned up on my head and fell down in ringlets, the head piece was just before the start of the falls and right behind my bangs that were also curled. Ash was now fighting with Sy about what to do with her hair. Ash wanted to just leave the extensions long and not do anything with them she said the headpiece was enough frilly and she didn't need more, whereas Sy wanted to do her just like mine just without the ringlets. That's how it was though, my hair was always curly and Ash's was always straight. Most of the time our hair was left down and free flowing, but this time Sy wanted it up. After about a 30 minute fighting Ash finally gave up and agreed to let her hair be put up. Sy did the same thing to Ash's hair. Once it was all said and done we looked just like twins, more so than normal. She did our make-up and we put in our contacts to change our eye color. Having aqua colored eyes means they stood out very much, so we wore contacts to make our eyes blue. Ash hated it because she loved her eye color.
"Are we done Sy? I have homework to do and I still have to go to Kyo's for our study session."
"Yes, change, take out your contacts, and I will take out the extensions. Once that is finished you can go to your best friend and your play date." Sy teased.
~Kyoya~
As soon as I was getting into the limo to leave school I received a text from Ash, he had finished the things at home and was ready for our study. I enjoyed spending time with Ash and maybe one of these days I would figure out what these feelings I was experiencing were. I told my driver to head over to the Sota House so we could pick up Ash.
Once we arrived, I got out, went to the door, and rang the doorbell. Ash immediately opened the door and jumped me. He wrapped his arms around me and gave me a very large and warm hug. 'Sometimes some of the things he does make me think he is really a girl, but there are no breasts that I can feel with him pressed this close.' I hugged my friend back.
"It's good to see you too Ash."
"Hey Kyo, so what's new with the club?" he said as he let me go.
"Well Hani-Senpi got some tickets to go see the Loli Girls this coming Sunday."
"Wow that's totally cool. I have never gotten to see them."
"He was given 7 tickets; do you want to go with us?"
"I can't. After school Friday, we are going to the lake. Mom wants to get away. I would love to though."
"Well, I am sorry, I wish you could go."
"I wish I could too. So got anything else new?"
"Well actually yes, we have a new member. His name is Fujioka Haruhi; he is a first year honor student. Turns out he is the natural type."
"Oh that's cool, is he going to the show with you?"
"Tamaki is trying to insist upon it, but who knows."
"You know better than anyone Tamaki always get his way Kyo."
"Except with you."
"So, how did you get an honors student to be part of the club?"
"Well you see he broke a vase that was 8,000,000 yen."
"EEEEEE… That's got to suck being indebted to Kyoya Ootori."
"What does that mean?"
"Nothing, but let me just say as your best friend you can be cold at times. So do you like the Loli Girls?"
"Yes, their music entertains me, if that is what you are asking."
"Which girl do you like appearance wise?"
"Oh, I would have to say Fraya."
"Go figure. I like her too."
"Yeah, I didn't figure you to be one into the gothic Lolita."
"Well I am."
The limo stopped and we got out and headed to my room, where we would be the whole rest of the night.
~Ash~
I sat on Kyoya's bed waiting for my turn to take a shower. 'One of these days he is going to figure out that I am a girl, and these little sleep overs are going to stop happening. If we are even still friends after that happens.' I fiddled with the friendship bracelet that Kyoya and I made when we were little and only take off to make them more comfortable as our wrist grew. I noticed that mine was looser than it should be. 'I must remember to get Kyo to retie it.' I thought just as he walked out of the bathroom.
"Kyo, you have to retie my bracelet, it's too loose. I am afraid I might lose it."
He walked over, towel over his shoulders, and gripped my wrist. He untied and tightened the bracelet. I grabbed his wrist to check the one he wore. Seeing that it was fine I stood up. Suddenly we were on the ground me on top of Kyoya.
"I guess you were too close Kyo."
"It would appear that way because we are now on the floor." we looked at each other and laughed. I started to get up, but Kyoya wrapped his arms around my back keeping me pressed to him.
"There is something I have to do. I have to know what is going on with me." And with that, he pressed his lips to mine. I shocked at first started to pull away, then relaxed and fell into the kiss. It was deep and full of every loving emotion there is. All too soon, the kiss ended. I pulled away and stood holding my hand out to help my friend up. He took it and I pulled him from the ground. I took my shower, and we went to bed without another word to each other.
