Hello to all readers. I recently bought the boxset for the anime out of curiosity and was glad I did. I loved it.
So here we are, a fanfic about the 'Ouran High School Host Club' with my OC David Thouran.
Let's get to the story.
Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN OURAN HIGH SCHOOL HOST CLUB OR ANY OF ITS CHARACTERS.
Please read, review and rate.
'What happened to me? How did I end up at this place?
I can't even read or speak Japanese. How am I going to survive this place?
How am I going to survive a year at Ouran Academy?'
These were the thoughts that ran through my head. I don't know how, but I now have a scholarship at the prestigious Ouran Academy.
I looked at the large white building with its impressive courtyard and my light blue blazer and black trousers. I had a small briefcase for his schoolwork.
I took a long breath and walked into the school grounds, my first observation was that there seemed to be more male students than female.
I looked at the statue in the middle of the courtyard.
'You have got to be kidding me. I wouldn't have thought they'd have the angel doing that!'
I shook my head and headed inside the building. I found my way to the reception area. Now the problem with the language barrier would begin.
"Hello?"
The receptionist looked up and smiled. "You must be David Thouran."
I looked at her. "You speak English?"
"All our entrants are required to speak English as a second language on school grounds, or at the very least, whilst talking with the teachers and school officials." The receptionist told me.
'Well, that's one worry over with.' I thought. "I'm not really sure where I'm supposed to go."
"Have you got your schedule?"
I laid my briefcase on the desk and pulled out a piece of paper. "Yes, but can I be a bother and ask for an English copy as well? I'm not that good with reading Japanese."
"Of course, just give me a minute." She smiled.
As promised, a minute later, I was handed a piece of paper. I looked at it and smiled. "Thank you very much."
"Don't mention it." She smiled. "And for the record, you first class is down the hall, room 2."
I looked at my English schedule. "Maths?"
She nodded. "Yes, and watch out for the twins."
I gathered my things and walked to my first class. I couldn't help but feel that I was being warned.
I looked at the door, afraid, unaware of the student walking towards me. They asked a question in Japanese. "I'm sorry, I can't quite speak Japanese."
"Are you alright?" they repeated.
I turned to my right. "Yeah, just a little nervous."
The student sighed. "What did they do to you?"
"Who?"
"Hikaru and Kaoru." The boy answered.
"Are they twins?" I asked.
"So you haven't met them yet?" he asked. "That's good. You need to be warned."
"I think I have been."
"I'm Haruhi."
"I'm David."
Haruhi seemed nice. There was something I couldn't quite place. He just seemed…feminine. I let it drop. 'These days you can't tell who's a boy or a girl.' Haruhi opened the door for me and I walked in.
The classroom was definitely different than those in England. Everyone had their own desk and they were set out in rows.
Haruhi looked at me. "Want to sit next to me?"
"If no-one else is." I said.
"Don't worry." He smiled.
The doors banged open and I saw a pair of twins with red hair walk towards us. I slid a look at Haruhi and I saw he had his eyes closed as if someone had told a really bad joke.
"Is this guy bothering you?" One asked.
"Cause we can escort him away." The other finished.
Haruhi raised his arms hit the both of them in the head. "Not going to happen. Can't you tell he's new?"
"Are these who I think?"
Haruhi nodded. "Yes."
The twins eyes lit up and they instantly came right up to my face. "You've heard about us then?"
"It was more of a warning." I stated.
They instantly slumped into seats next to each other. I saw Haruhi smile slightly. "Well done." He whispered.
"What did I do?" I asked.
"Very few people can get Hikaru and Kaoru to leave them alone when they get interested in someone."
I looked at the twins. I looked at their faces. I gulped and walked over to them. "Hey guys, I'm sorry about offending you."
They looked up at me. One smiled. "You didn't offend us."
"That's not what your face says." I said.
The other looked at me. "What do you mean?"
"I used to keep to myself. I never could make friends easily." I told them. "I tend to say things without thinking and that's what destroys what little friendships I have." I realised what I just said. "Kind of like what just happened."
I walked back to my desk and slumped into my seat. 'Why did I say that? I never tell anyone about my friendship problems, so why did I tell them? Maybe because they seem alone as well.'
"Hey David, are you alright?" Haruhi asked.
I looked at him. "Yeah, I'm fine."
Haruhi looked like he didn't believe me but at least he didn't push the subject.
Lunch time came quickly enough. I brought my lunch from home and sat at a table on my own. In the corner, just to be on the safe side.
"Hey David!"
'Not safe enough.' I looked up and saw the twins, Hikaru and Kaoru sitting down with identical meals.
"Hey." I smiled weakly.
"You need cheering up. Let's play a game." One suggested, the one I assume to be Hikaru.
I looked at them. "Hikaru, I'm not guessing which twin is which." I took a bite of my sandwich. I looked at them and they seemed to be surprised. "What?"
"How did you guess so quickly?" Kaoru asked.
"I just guessed." I admitted. "But I'll let you in on a few things I noticed." They leant closer as I indicated. "One, Hikaru always speaks first. Two, only Hikaru would probably suggest a game. Three, Kaoru was always quiet and collected whenever Hikaru is not around." I leant back for the clincher. "But the big giveaway is right behind you."
They turned around to see Haruhi holding a board telling me which was Hikaru. They turned to me. "No fair. You cheated."
"I read a sign. That's hardly cheating. Besides, you can't expect people who never met you before to guess which twin is which." I told them, finishing my sandwich.
They were stunned. Haruhi leant in-between them. "I guess he showed you."
I tried to hide my smile. "And if I'm honest, the sign helped a lot."
The twins looked at each other. "Tell you what, at three o'clock, come to the abandoned music room on the third floor." Haruhi's eyes widened with shock.
"Sure, why not?" I said. The twins smiled and walked away from some reason. Haruhi just looked at me. "What?"
He shook his head. "You have no idea what you're about to do."
So that was the first chapter, please let me know what you think so far. Since it is obvious what the next chapter will involve, you know what will happen.
P.S. Can some kind-hearted readers out there please clarify for me the '?-chan' and 'Senpai/Sempai' thing for me as I am slightly confused.
