At an nearby alleyway

"Ah! Someone help me!" A girl with glasses and braids cried. She was cornered into a wall by a man and his group behind him. Both his arms were outstretched at both sides of her head. Unbeknownst to them, a stranger carrying a skateboard was walking by until she heard a cried for help.

"Eh, don't be so loud. All we want is for you to fork up some cash." A man with green skin and dark shades leans in. Behind him is the rest of his group with their green skin as well. They are known as the school's Gangreen Gang, a group of trouble makers teenagers who usually pick on the weak students. They are not hard to spot, because of their signature green skin. Ace is their leader and the rest are Snake, Lil Arturo, Grubber, and Big Billy.

They're picking on Sakurako Kintoki, a sweet and shy girl who runs a sweet store called Kintoki Shop.

"I-I don't h-have any…" She nervously replied.

"Hmm…is that so?" Ace leaned back up, smirking. "Well then, looks like we gotta do this the hard way." He snapped his fingers and the rest of his group started walking towards Sakurako.

"Ah…no…" She began shaking. "HELP ME!"

Just then, a skateboard came flying towards Ace's head. With one blow, it knocked him on the ground as he was holding his head in pain. Sakurako was shocked, but moreover she recognized that green skateboard anyway. The skateboard dropped on the ground as the stranger came out.

"Yo! You guys looking for trouble? How about you take on me instead?" A spiky-haired tomboy challenged.

"Aw crap! It's Matsubara!"

"K-Kaoru-san!"

Kaoru Matsubara, the most athletic and best soccer player in the whole school. Not to mention, she practices in martial arts so she can pretty much kick these guys' butts in seconds…again.

"Sakurako-san, are you okay?" Sakurako timidly nodded. Kaoru sighed in relief, then look coldly at the Gangreen Gang. They flinched in fear, because of that glare. "Now, don't make me catch you guys picking on another person again or else you're gonna be the ones crying for help. Got it!" They scarily nodded. "Good. Now scram!"

"Damn that Matsubara!" Ace hissed under his breath as he and the rest started to run away from them. Sakurako was able to relax herself and went to Kaoru.

"Thank you so much, Kaoru-san!" She smiled.

"No problem. Those guys can't put up a decent fight anyways." They both giggled. "Come on, we better hurry or we're gonna be late." Sakurako agreed and both girls began to head to the school.

Just as they walked away, Ace was leaning against a wall as he fuming with angry and wreak vengeance. "One day…I'll get that Matsubara! Damn that guy!"


In the Hallways

The bell had finally rung for break time. Kaoru was not in the best mood right now, because her teacher, Ms. Keane, scold at her for being late and after class told her that she is failing and needs to study more if she doesn't want to repeat her class. Kaoru groaned in frustration. She always had troubled focusing in school-related works, because it's just too boring! There is a test in a couple days, so she needs to study this time. No good grades means she can't participate in sports activities. She's going to need a study buddy and her answers have been prayed.

Kaoru looked ahead to see her two best friends: Momoko Akatsutsumi and Miyako Gotokuji. Miyako tends to carry around her favorite doll named Octi-a purple octopus with a mini hat and red bowtie. Seem kind of childish according to Kaoru.

"Kaoru-san~!" Miyako cheered. Kaoru decided just shrugged off her bad mood as she walked to her friends.

"Hey Miyako, Momoko." She greeted casually.

"Geez, Kaoru, being late again this morning. How many has it been this month?" Momoko joked and Miyako giggled.

"Oi! This time is different! I had to save Sakurako –san from the Gangreen Gang that was bullying her."

Momoko and Miyako were shocked. "That's terrible! She isn't hurt, is she?"

"No, I saved her just in time."

"Well, that's good she wasn't hurt at all." Momoko smiled.

"Yeah…that reminds me. Miyako, can you-" Kaoru was interrupted by a sound of commotion.

"KYA~! THEY'RE HERE!" a random girl squeal. The girls faced their attention to a group of cheering girls surrounding 3 boys in a shining and blooming atmosphere.

The 3 most popular boys in school are known as the Rowdyruff Boys. Michio Kurosawa-he has blond hair, blue eyes, childlike personality, a cheerful guy, and always smiling to the girls. Masahiko Kurosawa- redhead, has red eyes, acts tough, has a bandage on his check, wears his hat backwards, and basically has this bad boy persona with him. And lastly is Kiyoshi Kurosawa-'the cool king' of the group, black hair tied in a short ponytail and covers one of his eye, green eyes, most mature, though the silent type, and the handsomest out of all of the three.

And these boys just make Kaoru disgusted. She honestly never understood what was so hype up with these boys. Even Momoko is a fan of them…much to Kaoru's disgust and annoyance. Miyako, on the other hand, was confused as always.

As the boys were passing by them, time seemed to go by a lot slower. Kiyoshi's eyes just happen to meet Kaoru's and he was scanning her from head to toes. Just then for a split second, Kaoru swore she saw him smirked at her. Then, time resumes at its normal pace as the boys finally passed the girls.

At the moment, Kaoru blew in rage as she began to walk away in the opposite direction from them with Momoko and Miyako following behind. Momoko was still in her fan-girl mood as she was rambling about their coolness while Miyako was looking even more confused than before.

"Ahh~! Did you see how cool they were?! Each and every one of them has their own style to attract so many girls." Momoko droned on.

"A-ano*…" Miyako said quietly. Kaoru and Momoko stopped and turned to her, only to see that Miyako was looking at the ground like she's in deep thought with a finger on her lips. "I thought…for a second there…he…" she trailed off.

"Miyako…?"

Miyako snapped out of her thoughts to see both her friends were looking at her weirdly. She got slightly embarrassed. "He he…s-sorry. Don't mind me."

"What is it, Miyako? You seem bother by something…"

"Oh, I just thought that one of those boys-"

"UGH! Can we give it a rest with those stupid Kurosawas?!" Kaoru shouted.

"What's up with you, Kaoru?" Momoko said annoyed.

"Nothing." Though she said it so sternly, "I'm just sick with those stupid rich kids looking down upon us. Did you see one of those jerks smirked at me?!"

"Huh? Which one?"

"The one with the weird hair having a ponytail and covering one eye!"

Momoko fitted the pieces. "Oh! The 'cool king': Kiyoshi-senpai! Wait…him? That doesn't make sense; he rarely shows interest in girls. Are you sure?"

'More like he rarely shows emotions' Kaoru thought. Now that she mention it, when girls were around he never greeted them like his brothers. Kaoru remember that before they passed them, he had his eyes closed and ignored them. Whatever. "Yes I'm sure. I saw him looking at me for one second and just scoffed at me!"

"Then again…it could be because Kaoru-san isn't wearing a uniform…" Miyako pointed out.

It was true Kaoru wasn't wearing a traditional uniform, because her family couldn't afford that expense. Compare to Momoko, Miyako, and all the other girls wearing blazers with a white blouse inside and pleated tartan skirts with their ribbons tied bows, Kaoru was wearing a light green tee with a white star in the center and raglan short sleeves, a striped hoodie, green and brown baggy plaid shorts, dark green cap with a skull, and grey converse. {I suck at describing clothing}

"Those are some casual clothing that stands out…"

Kaoru looked down a bit at what's she wearing. She felt a little conceded. "Well…"

"See! It's just Kaoru wearing her usually get-up. No need to blame them!" Momoko grunted.

"Okay…I get it! But still it's not my fault! My family…"

"Yes, we know. If you want we could lend you some-"

"NO! I refuse! You're my friends; I rather not take advantage of that. Besides, I hate the feeling of owing somebody or a debt."

"Of course."

Kaoru sighed. "They still tick me off though."

Miyako and Momoko chuckled. Just then, a voice called out for them.

"Miyako-chan!"

The girls turned to the side to see Miyako's childhood friend: Takaaki Ayagai- a dirty blond and blue eyes. {Their first meeting is ep.12, so let's skip that part.} Miyako was able to visit Takaaki everyday in the hospital. Eventually, he was able to be cure with the help of her and was able to live freely. He is now a third year, which means something sad for Miyako who is only a first year.

Miyako blushed as she saw him. "T-Taka-chan, o-ohayou*!" She timidly stuttered.

"Ohayou, have you guys heard the recent news?"

"Eh? What is it?" Momoko asked.

"That the Rowdyruff Boys are creating a host club!"

"WHAT!" All of them exclaimed. "Is that really true, Taka-chan?"

Takaaki nodded. "That's right. They're looking for new members. It's open to all boys of any class; commoners or the rich. And I'm going to audition."

They all looked at him in surprise. Miyako's stomach just dropped as she became worry. "Taka-chan is going to join, why?"

"Because, I've noticed some girls are really sad and hopeless like they feel neglected. I want to help them, make them feel better, have a chance like…" Takaaki grabbed Miyako's hands, "you helped me. Besides, I think it'll be fun."

Miyako's face instantly turned red. But something stuck Kaoru. "Wait…you said audition?"

"Huh? Yeah. Not every boy can join in. They're picking the ones that have the potential to be in this club. Like looks, personality, charm, grace… Anyways, auditions will be held at-" 'As expected from rich people to judge the poor.' Kaoru thought as she didn't hear the rest. "Well, I need to go. Wish me luck, Miyako-chan!"

"A-Ah, good luck!" She said a bit too hyper. Takaaki sign off with a wave.

"You're really going to let him audition for that?! Miyako, you need to stop him! Say 'Don't go! Only have eyes on me!'" Momoko said dreamily.

Miyako blushed in embarrassment. "Momoko-san, stop it! I-I can't do that!"

"No, this time I agree with Momoko. You can't let him join that club; you know that a kind of guy like Takaaki-senpai is bound to be picked. Just confess your love to him now!" 'After all these years…'

"K-Kaoru-san! You know I can't do that! Taka-chan has always seen me like a little sister. If I tell him…I might lose him." Miyako said sadly. Both Kaoru and Momoko looked at their sad friend in sympathy. They can't say anything anymore.

But then, Momoko saw a familiar figure out of the corner of her eye. It was Natsuki Urawa-Momoko's long-time crush since middle school. {Don't know much about his appearance, so use your imagination}However Natsuki always rejects her feelings and find her awfully annoying, but Momoko is determine to make Natsuki fall for her. Though, Natsuki is friends with Kaoru since they both are on the same sports team (which makes Momoko incredibly jealous.)

"Naksuki-kun~! Ohayou~!" Momoko cheerfully shouted at him. Natsuki knew that squeaky voice and decided not to turn around and keep walking. Bad idea, because Momoko decided to shout even louder to get his attention. "NATSUKI-KUN! OHAYOU!"

"Momoko, quit it already! The whole school can hear you. Oi! Natsuki, see you at practice!" Kaoru called out. This time Natsuki did turned around to salute to Kaoru, signaling he got it and walked away. Unobvious to Kaoru, Momoko was fuming behind her. Kaoru was able to notice when she sensed a haunting aura behind her. "What?"

"Kaoru, how many times have I told you to not steal my Natsuki-kun?!"

"And how many times have I told you that we're just friends?! It's not my fault that we get along 'cause we both like sports."

"Still it bugs me that you two get along too well!" She cried in streams of tears. Kaoru groaned and Miyako giggled at her silly friends.

"By the way, what did you wanted to talk about?" Miyako asked.

"Huh? Oh, right! Miyako, can you help me study for the test coming? PLEASE!" Kaoru begged as she grabbed Miyako's hands.

"I'm sorry, Kaoru-san. I need to help my grandma clean up the house." And knowing Miyako's perfectionist, it'll take a week for her to finish cleaning that huge house.

Kaoru groaned. "Momoko?"

"Sorry, I'll be busy in a couple of days too. I need to help my sister get ready for her new school." Momoko's sister had to transfer to a new school for some reason Kaoru doesn't know why.

"So, I'm doomed then!" Kaoru dejected.

"Don't worry, Kaoru-san. Here…" Miyako pulled out some notebooks out of her bag. "…these are my notes you can study off of. I'm sure you'll do fine on the test with these."

Kaoru looked at them like they were a miracle. She had sparkles in her eyes. "Thank you, Miyako!"


Lunch Time

Kaoru was wondering around the halls looking for a place to study. If she needs to get any studying done, it might as well be during school and not at home. 'Not with my rambunctious dad and brothers.' So far there were no places to study quietly, not even in the library rooms. 'What should I do?'

Just then her feet stopped at an unfamiliar door. Kaoru looked up to see that she never encounter this door before nor have she roam in these hallways before. 'Am I lost? How did I even get here?' She noted that there was no sign to indicate what room this is.

Curiously, Kaoru's hand reached for the door handle and she opened the door slowly. The first thing she saw was a bright light and rose petals flew right in front of her face. Suddenly, 3 shadows emerge.

"Welcome!"
