Kaede and Hiro got a major overhauling. I rewrote a lot of it, although following the same basic storyline. I think it's much better now and I am eager to continue it.
Fan fiction! I do not own Ouran High School host club.
"Kaede! It's time for the first day of school!" Hiro calls to me.
"Okay," I respond." Just let me get my books." I feel for them, then I hear my twin sister open the door.
"Here they are," Hiro grabs my hand and slides my books into my grasp. As we walk out of our perfectly shabby apartment, I feel a flash of excitement. Finally, we have a chance at a good life. Although this school is supposed to be super hard to get into, we aced the entrance exam. It took a lot of hard work, being smart is not the only factor. While we walk, I listen to the sounds of the city. The rumbling of cars and buses. People walking down the streets. A dog barking, crows cawing. A cat yowling. Soon we stop.
"We're here." We both say at the same time.
"The gates are open" Hiro whispers to me, and we take our first steps onto the Ouran Academy. "We have all the same classes, of course." Hiro states unnecessarily.
"I know." I respond. Hiro doesn't try to guide me. She knows I can take care of myself. Plus, while Hiro was taking the test, I took the time to memorize where all our classes were. Our first class was probably going to be one of my favorites, and Hiro's least favorite. Honors Biology. It was exactly 50 steps down the main hall. We sat down in the back of the room, next to each other, and I could hear the other students whispering about us.
"More twins. I wonder what they're like."
"Why are they wearing T- shirts and sweatpants? Can't they afford uniforms? I guess not."
"Wow. They look a little bit like Hikaru and Kaoru." Others were mean, calling us commoners. Soon, the teacher entered the room. All talking stopped.
"Hi. How are all of you?" She asked. A chorus of "Goods, How are you's and fines, sounded in answer to her question.
"I'm Mrs. Anderson." She told us." Now, I know most of you have been together for most of your school life, but we have 3 new students. Two are identical twins, in fact. Kaede, Hiro, please come up and introduce yourselves. We both stood up, and walked to the front of the room. We turned around to face the class, but in my case, what I faced was pure white. I spoke first.
"I'm Kaede Takinaga" I stand still, my body language clearly signalling to leave me alone. Hiro goes next, and I'm sure her body language is mirroring mine.
"And, I'm Hiro Takinaga." She states, equally blandly. We start to make our way to our desks.
"Wait. Don't you want to say anything else?" Mrs. Anderson asks. I keep walking. "No." We answer in unison. Hiro whispers to me when to stop and sit down.
"Okay. Well. Now, it's time to meet our third new student. Come up please." I hear the scraping of a chair being pulled out from a desk, and hear soft footsteps as someone walks up to the head of the classroom.
"I'm Haruhi Fujioka." She told us, mumbling. I could tell she was a girl, even though she had a low voice, like us. I'm good with voices. I have to be. She sounded uncomfortable. Haruhi didn't say anything else, and went to her seat immediately.
"Now that that's settled, let's get started. We will be starting a unit on genetics." Mrs. Anderson chirped. Class was fun. Mrs. Anderson was nice, and she knew what she was doing. Class zoomed by, and so did the rest of the day, until seventh period. Every class started the same. Haruhi was in all our classes. Like us, she was a complete honor student. Most of our teachers sounded nice, and they taught well. Seventh was probably going to be my least favorite class, and Hiro's favorite. It was Honors Civics. I wanted to take Honors History, but she agreed to take Honors Biology with me, so I didn't say anything. Throughout the day, I had heard about another set of twins, boys. Apparently, we looked like them.
Right after the bell rang for seventh period, two people walked in.
"Sorry we're late Mr. Devon." two voices said in a mockingly sweet voice. It must be the other twins, Hikaru and Kaoru.
"Just sit down over there, by them, since those are the only open seats." Mr. Devon told them gruffly.
"Kaede! He's pointing at the empty desks behind us." Hiro whispered so quietly only I could hear it.
"Yes, Mr. Devon." The voices said in a sickly sweet tone, again. The 2 people walked to their seats, and on the way, I heard some girls swoon! Actually swoon! I mean really!? It's ridiculous. I could tell when they were next to our desks, because the footsteps stopped.
"So, these are the twins we keep hearing about. The ones who, supposedly, look like us." One voice said. Another voice chimed in. "I don't know Hikaru. They don't really look like us, even though we all have red hair." This voice was different, like... it was just a little softer. They were talking to us like we were inferior, and I hated it. I had had to listen to that tone for 3 years since it happened, and I was sick of it.
"Since you seem so confident, why don't you answer one of our questions?" I asked them, flashing my maniacal smile. Hiro always knew when I was going to do this, and always did it at the same time.
"One of us is Kaede, and one of us is Hiro. Can you tell which one is which?" We said in sync. I hear some students gasp.
"Of course we can." The other twins spoke in unison. One of them poked my nose, with I hate. I
hate people touching, me, and Hiro hates people touching her. We don't mind each other though. It was the one whose voice was a little deeper than the others. "You are Hiro" He stated, overly confident. "And you are Kaede" said the other person. He was probably pointing at Hiro. Hiro and I burst out laughing, a sort of crazy laugh. Then we were ominously quiet. The other twins were probably smirking condescendingly, waiting for us to say they were right.
"You both got it wrong." We stated. I could hear other student's gasp. I went back to reading my book, written in braille, (Supplied by the school) and Hiro went back to reading hers.
"Well, then. Can you tell us apart?" The 2 voices asked, snidely.
"Bet on it." Hiro and I told them, matter-of-factly. Then, we went back to our books. Suddenly, someone slammed their palms down on my desk making me jump.
"Then DO IT!" Hikaru challenged. I knew it was him, because of the voice. Also, this little outburst gave me more info to work with. I knew more about the two other twins as people now. Hikaru had a hotter temper. Kaoru was calmer.
"Why, should we, Hikaru?" I asked, equally snidely as they had been. And, if I may say so, that reply was genius! I think the other set of twins just stood there for a minute, stunned, because I didn't hear them sit until a bit later. That was the only interesting part of Honors Civics. As the class oozed by, I finished my book, and started a new one.
