Hola :D

Please R&R if you enjoyed. I would LOVE to hear input!

*A note to all you dirty birdies: No smut yet. Wait a few chapters! It's coming XD

(Oh and I don't own Ouran...but I'm working on it)

Tamaki Suoh stretched in his desk and absent-mindedly glanced around his new homeroom. It was the first day back to classes after Summer holidays. Students were still milling about in the halls, talking to one another excitedly about their vacations, latest gossip on heirs and heiresses and...a new student? Tamaki became instantly more keen on listening in. One conversation in particular caught his attention.

"I haven't seen her myself yet." said a tall, thin brunette with long braids. "but Rani said her friend, Otoma says she's really pretty".

A blonde girl answered her with a touch of jealousy to her voice

"Really? Someone else told me that she's but-ugly. Face like a toad, he said. Poor like one too. Fancy having a commonor at Ouran. Just what we need...".

The brunette gasped. "What an awful thing to say, Ritsue!"

Tamaki tuned out the rest of the girls' conversation and let his thoughts wander. So that's what all the commotion is about this morning! A new student is starting! Well, this could definitley be exciting! Maybe she would become a regular customer to the Host Club! She would need someone to show her around after all...who would be better suited for the job than the club president himself! And besides, recently the club had not been doing all too well. Ever since Hani and Mori had graduated, things had taken a turn for the worst. Ouran girls just weren't interested in gawking at boys that were...well, virtually unobtainable. First time customers rarely came back and the "regulars" had all but disapeared. Kyoya had said himself many times that if buisness didn't pick up in the new school year they would have to disban. Perhaps a new customer would be enough for the Demon Lord to change his mind...or at least extend that damn deadline...

Lost in his thoughts, Tamaki failed to notice the classroom filling up around him. Thirty or more students filed in to the room, found a desk and politley waited further instruction from their professer. The starting bell pulled him back in to reality. He tried his hardest to focus on what his teacher, Miss Hall, was saying.

"Well, good morning, senior class! I've got to say that it really is great to see all your faces back again this year! I do hope you are ready for another fantastic year at Ouran Academy." Her expression went from bright and cheery to stone cold. " I will remind you however that this year, being your last, will be a crucial part of your Ouran education. Your final exams at the end of the year will decide if you qualify for graduation...or not. I'm positve this is not an issue for anyone here anyway. Now! Let us move on to more exciting news, shall we? As many of you know already, this year we have a new student! Please welcome young Mister Lark to Ouran's senior classrooms. I expect you will make him feel comfortable and-"

Tamaki tuned out once again. Damn, I thought the new student was a girl...maybe the Host Club doesn't get a second chance after all...

"Mister Tamaki! I beg you to please pay attention! As I was saying... is going to need someone to help him find his way around for the next couple weeks. Are there any volunteers?"

The room went silent. Everyone in the class pretended to be occupied with other things, not wanting to be burdened with playing the part of tour guide all month. Guilt and anger shot through Tamaki. How could his peers be so selfish? Really! How hard could it be anyway..?

Without giving it any second thoughts, Tamaki raised his hand in the air. "I will, ." he said loudly. "I'll show him around the school."

Oh shit...what did I get myself into...?

Class passed slowly after that. With every minute closer to the bell, he got more and more nervous. Tamaki had only ever had to entertain female guests! He had hardly any experience talking with other guys outside his tight-knit group of friends in the club. Somehow this seemed totally different. The bell finally rang. Everyone in the class hurried out the door and in to the crowded hallways. Everyone except Tamaki. He stayed obediantly at his desk, awaiting further instructions from his professer. I wish I could just get out of here... A knock at the door startled them both.

"Come right in, Mister Lark ." Miss Hall called out. It seemed to take ages for the door to open, but when it did, it revealed a boy standing in the door frame nervously. He was the most adorable person Tamaki had ever layed eyes on. His black hair fell, tousled and a bit messey around his pale face and soft cheeks. He looked out through his long bangs with stunning green eyes. Practically the colour of emeralds. If it had not been his very first day at Ouran, would certainly have been suspended for not wearing his uniform correctly. His tie was loosend and his shirt had been untucked. The overall look was a bit disheveled and careless, but he pulled it off beautifully. Tamaki could only stand there and gawk at him from across the classroom.

There was an uncomfortable moment of silence before spoke to Tamaki. "You must be my guide." he said with a shy smile."I can't wait to get started!"

Tamaki just nodded frantically. He couldn't keep his head straight. Why did he have this strange effect on him? He wasn't attracted to a boy...or was he?

The boy spun around to leave the room, then stopped halfway and turned around to speak to Tamaki.

"My name is Lark, by the way"
