When heard about becoming an exchange student to Japan...I never thought I would be going at a rich kids school Ouran Academy for 11 months surrounded by the Ouran Host Club...
My name is Courtney Stevenson, I'm 14 years old and an exchange student from Canada... well I'm not exactly exchanging with anyone, I'm just staying with a family...does that make me a foreign student then? Anyway, I'm taking the Academic Year program, meaning I'll be staying with my Host Family (a.k.a, the Suohs) for 10-11 months starting now, March 2. I have dark brown hair that is layered down to my shoulders and is slightly teased. I wore a black pleaded skirt with a yellow Pikachu shirt. This was going to be the greatest year of my life.
I got out of the plane customs and headed towards the terminals where my Host Family was going to be waiting for me. I scanned the large crowed looking for the Suoh's matching the photos I was given.
Maybe they're not here yet...? I thought before seeing 2 women and a man holding a sign saying "Stevenson" I walked towards them
"Hello Miss Stevenson! My name is Chika, and this is Miss Kanoya and Mr Meka! We work for Mr Suoh and Master Tamaki! We will drive you to the Suoh Mansion #2 as well as be your local representative for your trip!" She said nicely...wait...did she say "mansion"? I'm sorry I don't recall the Suohs having a "Mansion"!
"The Suohs live in a mansion...and own more than one?" I asked slightly confused,
"Yes! Did they not inform you about this?" Chika asked me,
"N-no I guess they forgot..." I said moving my bangs out of my face, how did they forget to mention that they live in a mansion! Not just living in one, but owning two! How do you forget that?
"Well we better get you to your home now," Miss Kanoya said as Mr Meka picked up my bags,
"O-oh I can carry those!" I said feeling kind of bad for him to have to take my bags but he just laughed lightly,
"No don't worry about it, this is what I'm here for," he said as we continued to walk out of the airport. Once we got outside there was a black limo that Mr Meka opened the trunk to and put all my bags in then held open the door for me. A limo? Are they for real? I stood there dumb founded.
"Miss Stevenson, are you coming?" Mr Meka asked me, smiling sweetly, I finally snapped out of it blushing slightly as I hopped into the car saying thank you then closed the door. The 3 of them asked about my life back in Canada and what it was like living there and got to know me in just one drive home.
We pulled up into a large driveway that went around a fountain in front of the Suoh Mansion #2. I looked out the dark tinted windows in awe. Chika giggled,
"Don't worry, you'll get used to it!" she smiled and got out of the limo,
"I'll bring your bags inside and up to your room, okay?" Mr. Meka told me as he quickly went inside, an elder lady came out of the mansion walking towards me, she had her gray hair in a low bun and she seemed to be wearing something similar to a kimono.
"Hello Miss Stevenson, welcome to the Suoh Mansion #2. My name is Shima Maezono, I'm the head housekeeper and Tamaki educator, I hope you enjoy your time here," and she bowed politly,
"o-oh it's nice to meet you Ms. Maezono, and thank you!" I said bowing back
"Miss Stevenson you can just call me Shima if you wish, you do not have to be so form-" she was cut off by an adorable golden retriever with a red bow tired around its neck running out the door barking in excitement to see someone new. That someone new just so happened to be me. The dog began jumping up on me licking me and begging for attention. I giggled and began to pet her and rubbing around her neck.
"ANTOINETTE!" A blond haired boy came running out of the mansion in blue pyjamas with brown bears on them and carrying a brown bear that matched them, he had violet eyes and I recognized him as Tamaki Suoh, "Antoinette don't run out of the house like that!" he said as he began to hug the dog. I guess he didn't realize I was there until a couple minutes later when he finally looked up at me. He then jumped up,
"Oh, my apologies. Welcome Miss Stevenson, to Japan and the Suoh Mansion #2, it's nice to finally meet you in person," he said smiling. He was gorgeous; I was stunned by his kindness but...
"pffft...hehe..." I started giggling; he just looked at me for a moment before I started laughing harder,
"Master Tamaki, didn't I warn you that Miss Stevenson would be arriving shortly?" Shima said looking at Tamaki's pyjamas, he gasped and his face turned red before he ran back into the mansion and upstairs to his room. "Why don't we go inside," Shima said and I followed her into my new home for the year.
"What's going on here?" Mr. Suoh came running into the foyer to see me and Shima, "Oh, welcome Miss Stevenson," he said to me smiling, "How was your ride with Chika, Mr. Meka and Miss Kanoya?" he asked me kindly
"It was great!" I said smiling. Tamaki finally came running downstairs but this time wearing a white slim fitted v-neck t-shirt with a black undershirt underneath it and black dress pants.
"Haha, sorry about that, I didn't expect my first impression to be so bland upon a beautiful lady," he said taking my hand. Man is this guy corny! Oh well at least he's cute. I giggled lightly and blushed slightly. "Dad, should I show her around and to her room?" Tamaki asked his dad,
"Yes go ahead! Oh and your bags are already in your room," he told us,
"Okay thank you," I said as I followed Tamaki around the mansion. He showed me through some of the rooms before jumping and turning around,
"Oh my gosh Hunny is really cute," he said slouching his arms to his chest like he was hugging himself, "and small even though he's older than everyone," This time stroking his imaginary beard, "and Hikaru and Kaoru are kind of weird but awesome," He turned giving me the peace sign, "and then there's Kyouya and he's mother," He pretended to pushing up some glasses, "and then Mori is like super tall" He said standing on his tip toes raising his arm showing how tall he is,
"And lastly there is Haruhi who is the CCUUUTEEST thing ever!" he said jumping up and down a couple times with his face going slightly red. He stopped and looked at me then paused for a couple of seconds, "You should meet them all!" He said hugging me tightly,
"I'll go call them!" He said running to the nearest phone, I just chuckled at him before his dad walked in laughing too,
"Tamaki don't you think you should let Miss Stevenson relax for a bit? I know it's 8am here but she's not used to the time here. It's still 4am for her…"
"Oh it's alright, he seems fun to hang around, plus I want to get used to the time difference quickly so I can say up!" I turned to notice Tamaki texting;
[Guyzzz! Come ova hre ! Courtney ish hre nao! (^o^)/~*]
"Okay if you think you can manage… But you might need this…" Mr Suoh said handing me a cup of coffee before smiling and walking away.
