Hi! So author's notes have always annoyed me, so I'm going to keep this short.

I didn't know what to name this story, so I looked up the dictionary app on my phone and decided that whatever the word was for the "Word of the Day" was going to be the name of this story.

Hence, the title: Scherzando- which, interestingly enough, means playful or sportive.

I feel like it's going to fit the story later on, as I would really love for Sayuri to be a playful person- they're always more fun, eh?

And, this is going to be my first multi-chaptered story! Whoo!

So, please, work with me here. I've got to think of things to make it interesting and keep your attention.

much love,

"Hello, I'm very pleased to meet you." I said curtseying to the older man standing in front of me that was to now be my headmaster.

"Yes, it's a pleasure to meet you as well." He replied back. "So, there are some things that we need to take care of first before you can officially start classes here—just simple things—birthday, full birth name, home address, etcetera."

"Yes, sir." I responded taking the papers from his hands.

Soon I had filled out all of the information and I was handed a packet that listed where my class was and my daily schedule.

"We'll see you tomorrow!" Called out the secretary of the Headmaster as I nodded and left.

'Well, I guess I should get all of my stuff together and prepare for tomorrow. It's going to be an interesting day...' I thought to myself walking into my house.

"Kawachi-san, it is good to see you home." An older women said while bowing to me.

"Hi, Hiraga, could you send dinner up to my room for me? I have some things that I need to take care of." I answered curtly.

"Yes, Kawachi-san."

Her answer echoed up the stairs of my home as I walked down the hallway of our second floor.

"Oh, honey, you're back already?" Said my mother peeking out from behind a computer screen in her study.

"Hey, mom, yeah. It didn't take as long as I thought it would."

After answering, my father came out of the library.

"So you start tomorrow, then?" He stated more than asked.

"Yes, sir. I'm going to my room now to get everything ready. Can you make sure that Kazuki doesn't come into my room? Thanks! Bye!" I yelled to them as I walked more briskly down the hallway- praying that my younger brother wouldn't come bother me.

Soon I had reached my set of white double doors and I opened them for entry.

In my room I got my uniform together and the rest of the items that I would need for classes tomorrow. I wrote in a journal for a little bit and ate the food that was delivered to my room. Then I took a shower, changing afterwards into my pajamas.

As I lay in my bed, I pulled my night mask over my eyes and let out a sigh of relief.

"Tomorrow's going to be a long day..."

"My name is Sayuri Kawachi and I'm pleased to meet all of you." I said to my new fellow students with a bow.

"Thank you, now please take your seat." Said my teacher from his corner of the room.

"Yes, sensei." I answered back taking a skip over to my new desk.

To the right of me was a strange looking boy. Well, strange for Japanese standards anyway.

He had violet eyes and blonde hair- soon he noticed me glancing at him and he winked.

Taken aback, I immediately looked straight with a slight blush on my face. He certainly wasn't bad looking, but it seemed a little fast to me that someone would be making a move without even asking for a name first.

Soon I began to pay more attention to the teacher and forget about the blonde haired boy sitting next to me.

'This is so great, classes move so quickly here. And everyone in this class seems to actually care about learning...'

The bell rang after my last thought announcing that it was time for lunch and the boy sitting next to me took that as his opportunity to speak.

"Hello, Ms. Kawachi on behalf of myself, Tamaki Suoh, I would like to formally welcome you to the second year's class at Ouran Highschool." He let out with a dramatic voice.

"Um, I don't mean to be rude, but I'm quite sure that was what the teacher did in the beginning of the class when I told everyone my name."

The boy fell to the ground with a loud thud.

"But I wanted to make it special for you, my princess!" He said recovering quickly and grabbing my hand in the process. "A girl with beauty such as yours is to be greatly appreciated in our meager presence!"

"Tamaki, are you harassing the new students again?"

I turned around to find another boy with the same build as the blonde in front of me, but his hair was a more natural black color. His glasses framed his dark eyes well.

"It's fine, he acts kind of like my brother." I replied coming to the blonde's defense.

"I would like to apologize for you on behalf of living with someone that could resemble Tamaki personality-wise." He answered.

I laughed, "What's your name?"

"Kyoya Ootori, pleased to make your acquaintance."

"Sayuri- is it ok if I call you that? You should come eat lunch with Kyoya and I. You can come meet some more of our friends." The blonde offered.

I looked to the darker haired boy to see if there were any signs of disapproval, not noticing any, I answered, "Sure, that sounds like fun."

And with that we were off to lunch.
