"Mae are you ready to leave?" Dad asked.
"Yeah, I'm used to it. Can we leave now?" I said irritated.
"Did you hate living in the USA that much?"
"Dad please all these places are the same. It's just another place to stay at until we move again."
"Are you coming? The maids will take your things to the car. We can't miss the plane. Mae are you leaving looking like that?!" Mom said.
I looked down, I was wearing my jeans and a black hoodie. I cut my hair short and died it almost black which Mom hates. It's messy unless I do it, but I'm lazy and I hate having people do things for me. "Yes, what's wrong with it?" I said boldly not caring. It's always this way between Mom and me.
"You are hopeless, people will be taking pictures. Don't stand near me." Mom said. "Dear, thats a bit-" Dad was saying but I cut him off.
"Whatever like I want to be near you anyway." And I walked out of the room.
Nanny Lisa stopped me in the hall. "Mae, dear are you ok?" She asked.
Nanny Lisa has always been a mother to me, she is also the only thing that has stayed constant in my life besides my parents. "I'm fine I don't care what she thinks" I said.
"I don't believe that." She said. Nanny Lisa then pulled me into a hug, she is the only person I can ever remember hugging. "Shall we go dear?" She said.
"Yes I'm ready." I said.
Soon everyone was on the plane. I sat on the opposite side of my parents and I looked out the window boredly, Nanny Lisa was on another part of the plane.
"Mae, you are going to start your freshman year at Ouran High School. Dad said to me. "Whatever" I responded without looking away from the window.
"After we are settled in our new home we can check out the school if you want." He said. "Dad it's just another school. Besides didn't I go there for half a year in elementary?" I said finally looking at Dad.
"Oh, I don't remember. Do you dear?" He said.
"I don't remember the school's she has attended. It's not important." Mom said.
"Of course it isn't mother. Dad I can figure out the school when school starts." I said coldly. I turned my face back to the window put on some music and tried to fall asleep. When I woke up we were landing. I waited until my parents left the plane then dug into my bag. I pulled out my stuffed animal and hugged it.
"Are you ready Puki? It's just another home and school; we can get through this right? We always do." I said with a pinch of sadness.
"You sure are strong Mae." Nanny Lisa said.
"Ha I wish." I said.
"Really you are. I remember when I had to say those words to you." She said lovingly. "Yeah me too, you've always helped me Nanny Lisa."
"This time will you make friends?" She asked with hope in her voice.
"What's the point? I'll just be moving again and I'll never see them again." I said sadly. "Oh dear, you don't know that." She then hugged me as a butler came in.
"Miss Haruni are you ready?" he said.
"They are there already there?" I asked.
"Yes they are now waiting in your house. Shall we go Miss Haruni?" He asked.
"Yes. I bet they are just dying for me to get home." I said sarcastically.
"Mae do you have to be so sarcastic?" Nanny Lisa asked.
"I can't help it, It's part of who I am." I replied. We then headed to the Limo.
Every time we move it's the same routine. Mom and Dad would get off and leave first, to deal with the crowd if there was one, and go to the new mansion. Of course this is after security has scanned it. Then after they are home I am able to go. Each time I do the same thing, it used to be a little different when I was younger. First off I cried a lot easier when I was little and Nanny Lisa would be the only person to help me. Now I don't cry I just wait to get to my new home. On the ride there I always look out the window to see what's around my new home. But I never let myself get excited because I never know when I will move again. This time there was mainly a lot of mansions, but I did see two people that looked exactly the same getting into a limo. I wondered who they were but I didn't really care, so I let it go. I arrived at the house. I got out before someone could open the car door for me, something my mom never does. I will do anything to not be like her. I walked in and saw a maid.
"Excuse me, do you know which room is mine?" I asked her.
"I can take you there Miss Haruni." She said.
"If you don't mind could you just tell me." I said bluntly.
"Oh yes I'm sorry it's on the second floor turn right then the 3rd door on the left." She said a little flustered.
"Thanks. Come on Nanny Lisa, we have to see what they did this time." I said. "Coming," She then turned to the maid and said "You'll have to excuse Mae."
I ran up the stairs and went to my room Nanny Lisa was right behind me. I opened the door to see bright pink, flowers, and ruffle everywhere. I almost screamed yet I'm used to it. It happens every time we move. We began taking things down, tearing the room apart. An hour later the only things left in my room was a dresser, a table and the mattress. I prefer to sleep on a mattress on the floor. The hallway was filled with stuff. I then left my room and made my way through the hall. On my way to the main floor Dad stopped me. He looked behind me to see the hallway full of stuff.
"Must you do that every time?" He asked me.
"Must the room be filled with that shit every time?" I replied.
"Mae!" he said.
"What I'm serious, Now Nanny Lisa and I need to go shopping." I said.
"Fine, just hope that your mother doesn't see this." He said.
"Like I care she's the one that makes it look that way. Are you ready Nanny Lisa? Later!" With that I left down the stairs Nanny Lisa bowed to my dad then followed after me. The limo pulled up and we got in.
I wanted to find my favorite store. Soon I did. I bought a dark purple comforter that had a black design on it, matching pillows, black curtains, and a black and purple tablecloth for my table. I also bought a couch and two chairs. We then went to another store to buy the paint, purple and black paint, also a cloth to cover the floor so we don't get paint on my carpet. We then went home. We have a lot of work to do. I went inside carrying the paint, Nanny Lisa followed with the brushes and rollers.
"Miss Haruni would you like us to get someone to paint your room?" a butler asked. "No. We can do it." I said and walked away.
We walked up the stairs and walked down the now empty hallway. We got started right away. As soon as we were all set up we began painting. The first wall was purple with a big black squiggly line through the middle, the next wall was black with a purple squiggly line, the next was like the first wall and the last was like the second wall. It looks pretty cool. I love purple and black. We opened all the windows and got fans. My new stuff waited in the hall until I can put them in my room. My parents knew that would happen but they get mad every time. As soon as we were done I went into the living room to watch tv, I think Nanny Lisa went to her room. While I was watching tv dad came in.
"Mae did you have to paint your room?" he asked annoyed.
"Yes I did." I replied simply.
"Where do you plan to sleep?" he questioned still mad.
"Well I guess in the hallway. I don't know yet. I'll figure it out myself I always do." I said angrily.
"Mae one of these times your mother and I are going to send you away." he yelled. "Good please do! I don't want to live with her anyway." I yelled and walked away. I decided to go to the office. It's always one of my favorite rooms, no matter what house. It's filled with books and has a comfortable chair. It's the best place to think. I hate my family so much. They treat me like a burden. It wasn't my choice to be born. I wish they would send me away to some boarding school. But then I wouldn't have Nanny Lisa. She's the only person that cares about me. I don't think I would be able to live in this family if it weren't for her.
Night soon came I decided to sleep in the living room. I was just to lazy to see where other bedrooms were. When I woke up I set up my room, but left all the fans running and the window's open. It still smelled like paint. I then went to the kitchen to get breakfast. That's when Nanny Lisa told me I started school tomorrow. The school's winter break ended today so I'm joining when the school starts tomorrow. So the rest of the day, well some of it, I got school stuff together. I put it all in my backpack. But I didn't look at the uniform; I always do that on the first day when I wake up. It's kind of my tradition. So the rest of the day I wasted away then went to bed in my room at night.
"Mae wakeup, you can't miss your first day of school." Nanny Lisa said pulling me out of my sleep.
"Don't remind me. So what does my school uniform look like?" I asked.
"I think you will look cute in it." She said. I could tell she was trying to make it sound good, that wasn't a good sign. I get out of bed and look at the dress.
"It's hideous. I have to wear that?" I said.
"Oh hush it'll be fine, you'll find some way to make it work." she said.
"It's not like a really have a choice, I guess I'll wear it." I said giving in. I then got dressed. "I've gone to so many schools yet I'm always nervous on the first day." I admitted.
"Well of course you are. You're human Mae. Remember you can do it, but it would be easier if you tried to make friends." she said.
"That wont help it will just give more reason to not want to move, and that wont happen. Don't you remember when I tried to have friends?" I said
"Yes, you were so happy during those days." she said.
"It's after those days that I hate. I won't go through that again. Now can we go?" I asked.
We rode to my new school. I was wearing the dress, and I actually did my hair. It's parted to the right it covers my eye, and the back is all gelled up to look a little spiky. My hair doesn't match the style of the uniform at all, but I wear it none the less. We got to the school. I then became really nervous and started to pull my hair to cover my eye completely, it was acting as my shield.
"Mae," Nanny Lisa said.
I looked at her and she smiled. I wasn't really able to smile back. Nanny Lisa is the only person I can remember that has seen my smile. "I'll see you when you get out of school, just call and you will be picked up." she said.
We hugged and I left. Okay I can do this, I have Puki. Here we go. I walk inside and look for the main office, I soon found it.
"Excuse me I just transferred here. I need to know what class I'm in." I asked the lady behind the desk.
"Name please." she said.
"Mae Haruni." I said.
She began to look for the information, as she did that I looked around the office. I saw two boys sitting on the chairs. They were twins and looked like the two I saw a few days ago. The lady then told me the class I was in and was going to get someone to take me there. Then the two sitting spoke up.
"We're in that class, we can take her."
Before I could even say anything both of my arms were grabbed by the twins and I was out of the office.
"Hey you two get back here!" The lady said.
Once we were down the hallway I was able to pull my arms free. "What are you guys doing?! And who are you?!" I practically yelled.
