DISCLAIMER: I do NOT own Ouran High School Host Club. I do own, however, my OC characters and everything about them.

AN: This story takes place in the next year. So everyone is a year older, and Hunny and Mori have graduated. It's based on the manga. READ IT IF YOU HAVEN'T! It is excellent!

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this!

Ch. 1: Meeting the Host Club

Hi, my name is Emalia Neilsen and I am attending Ouran High School for my first year. Ouran is a prestigious school where all the kids from wealthy families go. I have attended school for about a week, and it is definitely one weird school.

First day, after school-

"Thank goodness I chose easy classes. I wonder where she is? She said she'd meet me by the 3rd music room," Emalia leaned against the wall and muttered, "and this dress is ridiculous. How does she stand wearing this thing every day? For goodness sakes, it's yellow! And- " She stopped at the sound of fancy music. Where was it coming from? She looked at the doors next to her. By listening close enough, she could hear girls talking and faint clapping. What was going on in there? "Even though she told me to wait outside," she decided, "it couldn't hurt to take a peek inside this room. I mean, what could possibly happen?"

She placed one hand on one of the doors. She couldn't possibly open both and be the center of attention just because she was curious. After mustering up enough courage, she pulled the door slightly open, so she could peek. To her surprise, there was fancy furniture in several parts of the room where there were handsome boys surrounded by girls. It seemed peaceful, until there would be a group of girls screaming about one of the boys.

Emalia was in such awe that she didn't notice a pair of boys come towards her, who looked like twins except one had dark hair. "What are you doing?" the one with dark hair asked.

"You're acting different today, Alice," the other added.

"Alice?" she asked, but they didn't appear to hear her. They had pulled her over to their area and sher took a seat next to two other girls, who then left giggling with glee.

"What's with her surprised look?" the light haired one asked his partner. "She's never like this."

"That would be because it's not Alice."

"Uwah! Kyouya sempai! Don't just come out of nowhere like that!" the dark haired one yelled at a tall guy with glasses, namely Kyouya.

"Miss, would you happen to be Miss Alice's sister?" he asked it in such a respectful manner, but Emalia was feeling uncomfortable.

"How did you know? This is only my first day here!" she exclaimed, but then she thought that maybe these were the friends her sister told her about.

Her thoughts were cut short when another tall man with blond hair took her hand and said, "My dear, you are new here, yes? Then I must introduce everyone. I am the majestic King, Tamaki Suoh! I am a 3rd year. This gentleman is Kyouya Ootori," Kyouya gave her a slight bow. "He's also a 3rd year. These twin 2nd years are Hikaru (the dark haired one) and Kaoru (the light haired one). Hunny-sempai and Mori-sempai are the short one eating cake and the tall one nearby him. They graduated last year, but they come back whenever they can. And lastly, there is my Haruhi who- "

"Give it a rest, will you?" A short, feminine looking guy said. Immediately Tamaki went sulking in a corner. "Sorry about him. He's too dramatic. I'm Haruhi Fujioka and I'm a 2nd year," he said with a gentle smile.

Emalia was staring the whole time. She finally snapped out of it. "Oh! Excuse me, I'm Emalia Neilsen, a 1st year. What's going on here?

"This is the Ouran Host Club. We entertain the ladies of Ouran with our good looks!" Tamaki replied, already recovered from his depression. "Who would you like to designate as your favorite?" he asked.

"Well… I don't know. Um…"

BAM!

The doors flew open and there was a girl with a frantic expression, who also looked very tired. She spotted Emalia and ran towards her and threw a million questions at her. "Em where were you? I looked everywhere for you! I thought maybe you got lost because the school is huge! And it's your first day! And… why are you in here before me?" There was a short pause. "WHY DIDN'T YOU WAIT FOR ME?" she cried.

"Well, I DID wait for you outside by the doors. But you took too long. And I could hear things from inside here and I wanted to know what it was. And I wouldn't get lost because you asked your friend to take me here!" Emalia replied in a huff.

Everyone's faces were like O.O

"Oh hey, are these your cute friends you told me about? They mistook me for you. Except for him," she said pointing at the guy with the glasses. "How did he know who I was?"

"Kyouya tends to know more than he should," Alice whispered to her. "He's somewhat scary."

"I like to research our customers to ensure that they will not be a threat. Miss Alice told us that her sister would be coming, so I looked into it a little," Kyouya said while pushing up his glasses.

"Oi, she looks just like you, Alice," Hikaru pointed out.

"Only she's shorter, and her hair is messier," Kaoru finished.

Alice laughed, "Oh, we're not all that alike though. But we like to say that we're twins born at different times!"

"So," Kaoru was saying to Emalia, "will you come back tomorrow?" He was very nice and his question was genuine.

"Um, sure," she looked to her sister for approval. "I'd love to come."

"Duh! Of course we'll be here. Wouldn't miss a day!" Alice exclaimed.

"Well then, see you ladies tomorrow!" Hikaru said as he and his brother walked by.

Kaoru stopped for a second and called to them, "Be sure to come back to us!" He smiled and caught up to his brother.

"Let's go home, Em."

The girls changed into more comfortable clothing and sat on the couch.

"So, you seem pretty close to them, being they see so many girls apparently," Emalia stated.

"I'm actually closer to them than most of the girls, because… you remember how Mom said that the Hitachiin family is a famous clothing business?" Alice asked.

"Yeah, go on."

"Well, those twins you met were the Hitachiin brothers, Hikaru and Kaoru."

"You mean…" Emalia was astonished. They were really cute and she met them so easily?

"And our family does business with theirs. Mom said that if I ever met them, to be friends with them. But we're more than just business friends. I'm a regular customer of the host club, and I've gotten to know all of them. Somehow I got involved in their activities, too. I help them with costumes and themes and such." Alice said proudly.

"Will I be able to help too?" Emalia was excited about finding cute friends on her first day. I mean befriending such cute, popular guys isn't usually easy.

"Yeah! You can help me do costumes. By the way, there is a dance club at Ouran too."

"Really? But won't it interfere with going to the club?" Emalia said saddened.

"Well," Alice said, "I know you'll have at least an hour after practice, since they end earlier."

"Seriously? Maybe I'll consider it," Emalia said with a newfound interest in going to school.

AN: So how was it? My sister said it was a great start. Ideas and input are greatly appreciated!
