A boy with long brown hair, pulled up in a ponytail, strolled around the empty halls of Ouran High School. All the students were on their spring break, but he was just transferring from America. He was 17 years old, and not your richest person.. More like financially lucky.
His master in Taekwondo paid for his moving, and for school uniforms… And since his master was not staying, Akira had to rent a dorm in the school, so that meant he had to get a job and work to pay the bill each month, just like your average adult.
But in America, Akira was totally different. When he moved to Japan, everything changed.. Like his "gender"…
For you see, Akira isn't a boy at all.
"He" is a girl.
And in America, "he" was known as Renee Glass.
So let's call Akira by a she, shall we?
. . .
Before you jump to conclusions, no… Akira did not have a sex change. She just lucked out because she's flat-chested, but just in case, she ties bandages around her chest to be on the safe side..
Now you're probably wondering why Akira came to Japan in the first place as a "boy".
Akira came to Japan for two reasons..
1. To run away from her problems in America.
2. To research the typical male.. What they did that made them "superior".
Akira was bullied as a child in America, especially by boys. She was bullied for being useless, dumb, and other ignorant insults… That is why Akira worked hard to become a national champion in taekwondo, and also a state champion in soccer.
But she was still bullied.
And so, after being sick of it all for so long, Akira packed her things and moved to her dream home.. Tokyo, Japan.
. . .
Akira sighed as she held her suitcase over her shoulder and looked down at a little piece of paper in her hand. It had only 3 numbers on it. She eventually stopped at one door.
"Dorm 246.. This is it." She sighed as she pulled a key out of her pocket and opened the door to a fair room. Inside the light-purple walls was a bed, a dresser, a television, and a desk.. For homework, studying, or laptops.
A pretty window nearest to the television was also there, but shielded by curtains that were a darker shade of purple.
Akira placed one of her suitcases on the desk, since her laptop was in it, then placed her other one on her bed.
"So, this is it.. Ouran." She said to herself, slightly opening the curtains to see a view of just trees, obviously a forest.
She sighed as she closed the curtains and turned around to unpack her suitcase. Her master bought her 5 uniforms.. One for each day. God knows how much it cost, much less the expenses of flying over all the way to Japan with her things.
"Thank you.. Kuk Sa Nim.." She smiled as she put each uniform on a hanger and hung them in her closet.
When Akira was settled, it was night time. Crickets outside her window were chirping. She sat down at her desk and opened her laptop. She opened her personal computer-journal, and began typing.
"Day 1:
I have just arrived to Japan this morning and transferred into Ouran Academy today. Master and I have said our goodbyes, and I thanked him a lot of times for everything he's done for me. He wished me the best of luck. I wonder if I'll ever see him again..
Today marks a new turning point for me.. No more being the 'useless whiney girl' I was in America. I've heard of this club of boys that seem to satisfy women, using their individual talents and instincts.. They call themselves.. 'The Ouran Host Club'.
When school starts again tomorrow, I will join.. No matter what.
This club might just be the resource I was looking for.
I wonder how long I can pull off being a boy.. I mean I have no breasts, so that should be fine.. Though it might be a bit strange that a '17 year old boy' hasn't developed that 'new manly voice' yet..
I'm sure by the time I'm found out, my research will be complete.
So my goals tomorrow will be
1. Join that Host Club
2. Try not to have a crap-load of homework."
Akira yawned and she saved her document and closed her laptop.
"Today marks a new turning point for me." She quoted herself as she changed into her pajamas and collapsed on her bed, exhausted.
And in a matter of minutes..
Possibly seconds..
She was asleep.
